Important Notes About the Store as of April 2012
You may have noticed something strange about the store as we launch our latest products for your enjoyment. Here are answers to anticipated questions:
- There are no pictures of the new shirts yet, because the shirts are on their way here. Once they are here, we will have proper pictures.
- There are only black ink on black shirts available. No white ink.
- The new button we were very excited...

To Germany, for a Very Black Flag Christmas with...
There’s a lot that’s great about this picture. The toque, the tats, the shirt (of course). But the back story of this (unprompted!) addition to our sighting gallery is even better.
The lucky young man you see above (who we were assured is actually happy) lives in Hamburg, Germany. His girlfriend wrote to us in November, wanting to make sure we ship internationally. She was...

Lou Barlow Brings MY WARdrobe to Scotland
There was a brief moment in time when the careers and labels of Black Flag and Dinosaur jr. overlapped. Lou Barlow (pictured above) was there, manning the bass in the (then young upstarts) Dinosaur jr.
After parting ways, Lou went on to successful careers with Sebadoh, Sentridoh, Folk Implosion, and as a solo artist, before reuniting with the original Dinosaur lineup.
Did we, as young...

MY WARdrobe Goes Way Out West with Backstage Rider
Ignore the beard and bare chest and focus (demurely) on the chest (shirt, actually) on the right: that shirt/chest belongs to The Backstage Rider, aka Mikala Taylor.
We’ve written before about Backstage Rider, but the post has been permanently suspended in the space between this blog and a future site upgrade. This is a shame, because it was very flattering! She’s an awesome...

OFF!-some MY WARdrobe sighting: Dimitri Coats of...
One of the highlights of 2011 was when Dimitri Coats accepted our offer/gift of a MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt. But one of the higher highlights of 2011 was his decision to wear it at their Atlanta show, back in March:
Punk rock supergroup OFF! played Atlanta’s Drunken Unicorn last week. Their collection of EPs is a favorite in the office, so the whole Fabrication Fabrication team was...

Everything Went Black in MY WARdrobe for Record...
When Rollins lamented “Now she’s black” on Loose Nut was he talking about an actual woman, waxing metaphoric about emotions, or uttering a reference to our MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt 27 years prior to its arrival? Let’s bow to the prescience of Hank. Our all-new, all-black, all-Black-Flag-Tribute-Shirts are on their way!
For Record Store Day 2012, we wanted to...

Black Flag Anyday: Black Face Has a 7" Coming Out...
What?
On Hydra Head?
In case no-one told you, either, click quickly and pre-order one of the remaining gray vinyl copies.
This just may make Thanksgiving worth caring about this year.
Anyone else intrigued by the cover quote?

Black Flag Friday: Chuck Dukowski Has A New Band...
For Black Flag-related goodness this week, nothing tops the announcement of Chuck Dukowski’s new band Black Face. Chuck Dukowski was, of course, Black Flag’s original bassist, from the band’s early days as Panic until 1983.
Chuck isn’t the only SST alum in Black Face. Eugene Robinson, Oxbow’s singer, will be fronting Black Face.
The (potentially)...

Punk rock supergroup OFF! played Atlanta’s Drunken Unicorn last week. Their collection of EPs is a favorite in the office, so the whole Fabrication Fabrication team was in attendance. Also there, as modeled above by Dimitri Coats, was our Keith & Ron & Dez & Henry MY WARdrobe Black Flag Tribute Shirt.
OFF!, if you don’t know, is led by none other than Keith Morris,...

This isn’t the first instance of our work being seen in public. This is, however, the first blog-styled review of our MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt, and it’s from Sweden. Besides their impeccable taste in shirts, there are many reasons to love Sweden: certain omnipotent typefaces, attractive ladies and gentlemen, Ikea, and lingonberries, to name but a few. Now Fabrication...

Alternate Version of the Ronald Reagan Stamp for...
Yesterday, we posted the Ronald Reagan Stamp for Punks. Some of you enjoyed that. Some, however, may have felt that it was wrong to dishonor Ronald Reagan on the 100th Anniversary of his birth.
Yeah, perhaps. Ineffective dead presidents have rights too, after all.
So for those who felt the last Ronald Reagan Stamp for Punks was a little “too Hitlery”, here’s an alternate...

Resurfacing the Knowledge of the Past: Albert... →
Less than one has posted an Albert Einstein quote from 1949 that is as relevant now as it was then. As they note “over sixty years later, and it’s [true] more so now than then”. Discouraging. This is not the way things need to be, but it’s important to remember that this is the way things are. Companies need to act ethically. Consumers should reward companies that act as such....

It's About Enjoyment
It’s great to get feedback from you all. Hearing how a shirt is a gift for someone’s husband, or about seeing Black Flag BITD (Back In The Day) is really awesome. We are all connected. You, us, Robo…great stuff.
The other day we got word that a customer was inspired to buy our MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute shirt after seeing Shepard Fairey wear one at a talk he gave at the...
