We know that you guys haven't seen any new product from the Rude Etiquette camp since July. But do not fear! We are always hard at work trying to bring out something new! We're very excited for the near future because we're finally dipping our toes into the cut n' sew world! It's nothing too big right now, we're in the process of producing our own blank t-shirts with a little something extra with one of the shirts! But, we're happy with the progression we've made in less than a year and we hope to make more big strides next year.
The picture above is of some leather patch samples we had made. We think that they turned out beautifully and surprisingly detailed! Our shirts and future product will have these beautiful patches on them that will distinguish them as Rude Etiquette pieces. We are hoping to start expanding away from graphic tees, something that we've wanted to do since Day 1. So, instead of plastering the Rude Etiquette bike on every single piece, we can now add a little bit of our Rude quality instead and start focusing on the details of quality product.
Release dates for the new shirts are still up in the air. If production goes well and in a timely matter, we might release the shirts before the new year. But, if not, we might hold out until 2011. The shirts will also be our first ever collaboration with a close friend/brand of ours (won't be releasing any more information on the collab until the details are final! Sorry!) We're also debating whether or not to try and get something out in the mean time; but, money wise that seems unlikely.
So I hope this holds you guys over for now. I'll try and do product updates a little more frequently.
