RUDEmentary - Quality is Basic



From the first day we all agreed to man this Rude Etiquette ship, we knew that we wanted to steer toward the cut n sew world one day; and that day came sooner than we expected. Above is a little preview of what we've been up to for the last couple of months. Our dear friends at Mister graciously lent a hand to us and let us use their t-shirt fit and fabric to create our first cut n sew tees! The fit is Mister, but the details are Rude Etiquette. The detail in the picture is of our tan patches that we hope will provide a nice contrast piece as well as less branding. Another detail we added was a floral contrasting size panel where we have hand stamped size labels. Yup! HAND STAMPED by yours truly at Rude Etiquette. No one shirt is the same!

So, why plain t-shirts you may ask? Well, we didn't want to get too ahead of ourselves and start, say, a button up. Time is limited as it is for all three of us unfortunatley. We thought that dipping our toes in with a t-shirt would be a nice gradual entrance; and for the most part it has been. We plan on selling some of the tees as blanks and also using some for some new prints we'll have next year. We're also still waiting on a special project that we're hoping to release as a special 1 Year Anniversary piece. It's still a t-shirt, but with a little something extra ; ). We're not trying to be a basic men's line, that's what our good friends at Mr. are for! We're planning on expanding our cut n sew line more in the upcoming year with hopefully a button up and much more! But, as you may know, cut n sew takes a lot of time and money, so please be patient and help us out by picking up some Rude garments!
