Mobile Monday - A Day Late, A Buck Short

As you can tell, it is not Monday. It is, in fact, Tuesday and this blog post is a day late. As usual, Glad Rags Ink has hit its stride once again and we are BUSY, to say the least. Printing nearly thousands of garments daily, sometimes it gets harder and harder to multi-task and get some work done for L&O. I'm not going to lie to you and pretend like we're Supermen doing much more than we can really handle. We're more like Clark Kent, except not as timid and lame. We're normal dudes with abnormally large appetites for ambition who just like to work really really hard. Straight up.

Yeah yeah, we know our Summer 2011 collection is late. Aren't we always "late" anyway? As if we have to conform to some kind of industry set schedule or something. We'll release it when we want to! And you'll like it! Well, at least we hope you do. We've gone with a very "California-coast" vibe once again and I think it should tickle your fancies like last year. T-shirts, tank tops, and a clean v-neck will most likely round out the collection along with a select amount of women's garments to keep the ladies smiling.

SNAPBACK. Yeah I said it. Later this Summer as part of a quickstrike release, we will be taking pre-orders for our very first snapback hat EVER. It will work similar to the pre-orders for our duffel bag. If you want it, you better order it! Details on that later.

And yes, we have chosen a winner from the Summer 2011 Photo Contest. We'll announce the winner and debut the t-shirt design once we finish editing and preparing it for our production.

We also have a bunch of collaborative projects, releases, and events coming up very soon so keep an eye out! It's about to get real exciting around here so we hope you're ready for the ride!

I realize I haven't included any photos in this post yet so if you're still reading along, kudos to you. But for those of you who need some visual aids, here's some recent photos from my iPhone in honor of Mobile Monday.. or Mobile Yesterday.

Neil from A Day To Remember sent me a picture message of bandmate Josh rocking our "Heavyweights" Tee at Warped Tour. If you look closely, you can actually see Neil wearing the "Road To Hell" tee in the reflection. Thanks guys!


Vincent from The Acacia Strain sent over a photo of the outside of their tour bus. L&O world tour!


Raphael Saadiq has a message for all of our haters out there.
