Official Uniform
January 9th, 2007 | Published in T-Shirts | 6 Comments
The kids at new tee label Max Fischer were nice enough to send along their most recent design, “Official Uniform” which is a tuxedo tee style take on their namesake’s Rushmore uniform.
Now while I don’t normally go for tuxedo tees, I’m running this on the fact that I really like Wes Anderson movies. They’re always full of quirky little bits of humor and tiny touches of detail that not many directors bother to put in their films. Those sort of extra things go a long way for me. Speaking of extras, the tee comes with a whole slew of extras like Max’s “Punctuality Award” and “Perfect Attendance” pins rendered as one-inch buttons and a wonderful “I saved Latin.” sticker. Those also manage to go a long way.
The fact that they also sent me a 2XL — despite the fact that the design only goes up to XL in their shop — is a nice touch. Seriously t-shirt companies, that sort of thing really means a lot to a tubby guy who can’t wear half of the shirts he reviews.
You really shouldn’t let that bias sway you tho… This shirt really is worth at least a passing look because it is interesting and different and pretty fucking outstanding. So what are you waiting for? Go already!

I’ve got a few more photos up at my Flickr account as well. And I made it so you don’t have to dig for them… ;)

A message from Adam with Max Fischer, Ltd:
I couldn’t find an email contact, but I did want to thank you for all the nice things you had to say, and the shout out on the tshirt. The reason we made this shirt is because we ourselves wanted it, and love finding people who can share an appreciation for both the movie, and the subtle details we threw into our package.

Adam: You couldn’t find an email contact? I tried to make the “contact us” link pretty apparent in the “About” section on every page, but I can totally see how you missed it. No worries tho.
I’m glad you appreciate the review. Hopefully y’all are able to keep it up and crank out even more awesome shirts.

Great shirt, but more than 10 business days and still waiting on delivery, and no response from the vendor. I think they might be abroad somewhere, far from the reaches of email possibly…
