I love that everyone is working hard on branding their stuff and making shirts and clothing. Going to Vegas for the Esk8 Squad event was incredibly exciting for me and I really felt the strength of this community. My one frustration was that everyone was handing out shirts for their companies that I wanted to wear, yet out of maybe 20+ brands and makers only one person thought to bring womens t-shirts. Thank you @treenutter for thinking of us, have to do a call out for Red Ember specifically for that (didnāt get one cuz I left early but Iām going to get that when I get that deck Jamie!!).
Moving on why this is important to me is because Iām sure you have all found this is a male predominated sport and if not where is this town I can esk8 with a crew of my gals? It may seem trivial but making shirts for us makes us feel more included in whatās going on. The only way to get more women excited to board is to make it appealing to them and make us feel like a part of it all.
With that said I have 6 shirts I now have to take to someone to remake them to fit me which is money I could have used for board stuff Small things go a long way and we should be doing everything we can to get more girls riding!
I feel you on this but I will say my wife is a shirt maker and the unisex shirts are the only ones that are cheap enough for giveaways. Specific womenās shirts and specific styles of menās shirts are twice the price for some reason. I guess weāre all plaster molds after all!
My wife says the same thing she wears my branded shirts and it fits her well even though it is a unisex but I totally get what you are saying. It is cheaper to do the unisex shirts but woman specific shirts would be a nice thing to have for the woman in the community or atleast a v-neck or a slim shirt shirt. This is making me think I about my shirts. I will say that most skate brands only do unisex shirts to include everyone very rare do you find a woman styled shirt.
It was honestly kind of frustrating, I want to throw on my brand support just like everyone else and not look like Iām wearing my dadās giant shirt to bed
@Lunasi awesome post! Yes to shirts of all shapes and sizes!
While weāre talking shirt sizes - can I get a shout-out for Menās size Small!? Iām a small-framed guy and if I wear an L-sized shirt it has the āTBWAā (Trash Bad With Arms) look! Iāll pay for the shirts.
I have gone some shirts for my wife as a one off type and if you look at the website anything with womenās style and a colored shirt is qty of 6. I think I may have found a shirt that is womenās/ladies 1 shirt with shipping is around $19.
Thatās hilariousā¦ My wife almost exclusively uses bella and canvas for womenās shirts. I have about 20 of those hanging in my front room. Craft season yo!
What we really needed is esk8 branded underwear. Iād be ok with only ladies undies being available because I like the way the velvet feels on my butt butt
