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 Returns, New SLIP IT pIN, and Our New Store
We haven’t said too much recently, because there’s been too much to say. Let us summarize:
- New Store: Opens today, 6/27/2011, at 9:00 p.m. EST. Today is also the 25th anniversary of Black Flag’s last show.
- MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt: Limited restock! (more below).
- SLIP IT pIN: Black Flag Tribute Button: Our first pin!
Here’s What Happened
After a wave of psyched Black Flag fans ordered MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirts, a wave of disappointed Black Flag fans emailed/social-media-ed us about missing out on their chance to get a shirt. It was a limited edition, after all.
But the pleas kept coming. And the combination of a limited edition plus an error-prone ecommerce solution disrupted some peoples’ orders. And we are not heartless, artless monsters. We are heartfull, artless monsters.
Reprint Party, Alright!
The MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt (Second Edition) is a limited edition of our original limited edition. We’ve only reprinted Version 1: The Ron (Keith & Ron & Dez & Henry.) this time. That’s right: No Chavo! We also made only half as many shirts. If you’re bad at math like us, this works out to 25% of the original edition, making the original edition 175% more valuable on the Black Black Flag Market.
We’re also working with a new (and amazing) screen printing shop. One of the benefits of this is an overall softer (but still punk rock) shirt due to a different ink being used. The shirts are still Alternative Apparel. You will be even more comfortable than ever as you see your place in American waste. We also added a design credit *cough* lawyers *cough*.
New: SLIP IT pIN: Black Flag Tribute Button
Why the SLIP IT pIN: Black FLag Tribute Button? Because: you may not wear t-shirts, you have to wear a coat 6 to 8 months of the year, you like to decorate your bag, you like to decorate your purse, your dog wouldn’t wear the shirt, pinning the shirt to your hat looked silly, you already own one of the shirts, you already own both of the shirts, you have no more room for another shirt, you only like round items, you only like items with pointy backs, you enjoy subtlety, you only have $0.50 to spend, you only want to spend $0.50, [illegible], Black Flag was awesome.
New Store
You can get any/all of these things at our new store, opening tonight at 6/27/2011, at 9:00 p.m. EST. We hope to see you there!

Sighting: OFF! Plays Atlanta, Keith & Ron & Dez & Henry Shares Stage with Namesake
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, ex-Black Flag singer, Circle Jerks frontman, and the Keith in our Keith & Ron & Dez & Henry shirt. Having our tribute to Black Flag share the same stage as their first singer was a real honor.
The rest of the band—Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides), Mario Rubalcaba (Hot Snakes, Rocket From The Crypt), and Steven McDonald (Redd Kross)—carry their own weight in punk rock credentials. These four offer no watered down soft-shoe through old mens’ memories, but 100% valid, spirit of ‘79-style, tear-ups. Take note, kids.
Thanks Dimitri!
Alternate Version of the Ronald Reagan Stamp for Punks
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 version we whipped up for you, our loving fan(s). It preserves all the key elements of the original version (Reagan, Hitler mustache, stamp) but tells it in a (perhaps) gentler manner.
Fabrication Fabrication proudly presents: The Alternate Version of the Ronald Reagan Stamp for Punks!

My God, My War Quilt Exemplifies Why We Love Black Flag Lovers
People thought we took our love of Black Flag too far with our MY WARdrobe: Black Flag Tribute Shirt(s). Look at that greatness above from shelbyrude:

Read a short interview with her on Invisible Oranges. She is what punk rock is all about.
Drop us a line, Shelby, we can share beautiful Black Flag fan goods together.
