The tale of the Whitesoap t-shirts

Every major project that I've worked on had a batch of t-shirts at some point, and Whitesoap was no exception. — However, this was kind of a short-lived project, and even though I promised t-shirts to the staff and others involved… they were all misprints!

We just couldn't get the shirts to look quite right.

For some reason, we just couldn't get the silkscreens right. — Edges would bleed-through, or there would be gaps in the print between colors, or there'd be a floating edge between the layers, etc.

In the end, I ended up just scrapping the idea and received an additional batch of Mobile17 shirts from the printer instead to give away to friends and family and whoever else I could at the time.

… But, I still had the first batch of misprinted shirts! I left them in a bag for a long time, but stumbled upon them the other day while reorganizing a closet.

While we were never able to use these shirts to help market the service, it was still good clothing that someone could use, so I passed them on today through a clothing donation box. — See you, Whitesoap t-shirts! 👋🏻

My apologies to the former Whitesoap crew for never being able to get these to you guys. 🙇🏼‍️
