Black Flag Friday returns!

If there’s a Friday to fly the punk spirit of Black Flag, it would be today, as Facebook’s massive IPO will make a lucky few very wealthy off the backs and data of their unlucky users. You have to Rise Above…your need to post status updates.

Here’s a photo of Keith & Ron & Dez from Polliwog Park in 1979. Keith is singing, while Ron & Dez wrestle in front. 3/4ths of Black Flag’s singers, all in one shot!

That’s also 3/4ths of the names on our MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt as well…but you probably figured that out already.

My WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirts to Brazil and points West, blasting the new OFF!

It reminds us of last year, when we gave Dimitri from OFF! a new shirt for being awesome. Then OFF! ripped our faces off both at a Criminal Records in-store and their show at the Drunken Unicorn that night. Atlanta, you were sweaty and gross sometimes, but you made the punks play ferociously.

Plus: Keith! WTF. Amazing.

Important Notes About the Store as of April 2012

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:19:55 -0400

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 for suffered a manufacturing defect that has delayed its launch.

- Shipping prices went up, because our actual shipping costs went up, thanks to the USPS.

To Germany, for a Very Black Flag Christmas with MY WARdrobe

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:36:28 -0400

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 interested in buying a MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt as a christmas gift for her Black Flag-loving boyfriend.

That, significant others, is how you win hearts!

Yes, we ship to Germany (and England, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, and anywhere else that wants a shirt). We were all too happy to send out this future present.

The result? Success! The boyfriend was “freaking out—not while taking this pic” (obviously). Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, birthdays, silver wedding anniversaries, job promotions, 100 days since our last accident—any and every occasion is worth celebrating with Black Flag!

The best present for us, however, was hearing back from the happy purchasee, who included this picture for us to share (*and yes we asked if it was ok if we shared the photo first. We ain’t creeps).

This is the fifth and last post in our LONG OVERDUE week-long recap of some favorite shirt sightings thus far. It’s all to celebrate the re-release our MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt in an exciting Everything Went Black Ink/Black Shirt edition on April 21, 2012, ie. tomorrow.

Shirts! SLIP IT pINs! More! Stay tuned for at least one more update.

Lou Barlow Brings MY WARdrobe to Scotland

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:58:26 -0400

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 Fabulists, think we’d ever see Lou wearing a shirt we made, as he played with Sebadoh at a bar in Scotland? Hell naw. Honored!

Reminder: This is our fourth post recapping some of our favorite shirt sightings thus far. It’s all to celebrate the re-release our MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt in an exciting Everything Went Black Ink/Black Shirt edition on April 21, 2012. Plus, Ron/Chavo pins. Plus another new pin! And…more?

MY WARdrobe Goes Way Out West with Backstage Rider

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:54:09 -0400

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 Canadian (a redundant phrase, that) based in Vancouver, BC who’s a serious music fan and even more serious music blogger. She’s also nice to strangers making a Black Flag Tribute Shirt, for which we thank her.

Why else is she cool? Besides having a Duran Duran fixation, she taught Lou Barlow how to tweet! What more cred do you need? The answer is none. None more cred.

This is our third post recapping some of our favorite shirt sightings thus far. It’s all to celebrate the re-release our MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt in an exciting Everything Went Black Ink/Black Shirt edition on April 21, 2012.

Rockhands! \m/\m/

OFF!-some MY WARdrobe sighting: Dimitri Coats of OFF!

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:01:50 -0400

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 in attendance. Also there, as modeled above by Dimitri Coats, was our Keith & Ron & Dez & Henry MY WARdrobe…

The highest highlight of that higher highlight of a night? Getting our personal copy autographed by Keith Morris. A gentleman and a legend!

Everything Went Black in MY WARdrobe for Record Store Day 2012

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:01:05 -0400

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 do something special, something that really captured the beautiful black spirit of buying beautiful black vinyl with beautiful Black Flag etched into it. Hence, everything went black for this limited edition: a BLACK shirt with BLACK ink. Black! Take me back! Black!

We’re also reuniting our two versions of the MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt for this special Black/Black Black Flag configuration:

Making its debut will be a never-before-available Chavo version of our SLIP IT pIN: Black Flag Tribute Button. BLACK! Let me (p)in!

Shirts will available for order starting on April 21, 2012. For the latest updates, you should follow Fabrication Fabrication on Twitter, Instagram, or give us your email and get The Occasional Fabrication.

All orders come with a free Fabrication Fabrication sticker.

More details (and pictures) to come. Don’t gnaw off your knuckles in excitement.
