      Thanks, David and Kerri! We're working on a small online shop that we hope to launch in the next two weeks. Thanks so much for the kind words.

      A note to backers: I emailed Alex on 8/14 to ask about updates and he told me the shirts were coming "in a few weeks." Alex, it's been a month-plus, so let us know what's going on. Right now we are definitely not flashy.

      Surveys for sizes, choice of pattern going out soon- we have some logistics to work out but we'd love for everyone to get rewards within a month or so!

      Congratulations on finishing. Just curious: what sort of timeline should backers expect for sizing, pattern request (when applicable), and receiving rewards?

      @Benjamin - backers can request sizing after funding ends-- we will make sure everyone gets the right size.

      Yep, Cedric, totally machine washable / dryable. Though I personally think handwashing shirts makes them last a lot longer:)

      I imagine that, but by hand of in machine ?

    19. Img_0289.thumb

      It's washable:)

      Stupid question maybe but How do you clean them ?

    21. Missing_thumb
      Eric on May 12, 2011

      Idea: put it on white and tie-dye. White silkscreen on white T-shirts tie-dyed looks pretty good. Retro reflective white on white T-shirts tie-dyed will look EPIC.

      Very nice. Please start looking at international distributors soon. Buying stuff from overseas can be a pain with regards to customs and taxes.

      Gene Gualtieri on May 5, 2011

      Looks great guys. Have you decided on a design for the reflective stickers?

      @Daniel Chen - Yes. There is now video of it on update #2:)

      what does the back of the houndstooth shirt look like at the $75 level? is it just the same as the front?

      bah. I like the nautical sweatshirt a lot but it is far to expensive for me.

      love the idea though!

      Hi!

      @danpernik the $75 reward level has designs on the front and back, as well as the houndstooth and unicorn hoodies have both front and back reflectivity.

      @LuQ M - Cotton, no animal products, environmentally friendly, with labor done by us-- two totally sustainable grad students:)

      danpernik on April 27, 2011

      For bike safety, shouldn't these designs be on the back? That said, awesome idea with tons of potential!

    33. Blos.thumb
      LuQ M. on April 27, 2011

      Is the reflective material environmentally-friendly? Does it contain animal products (carmine, wool, lanolin, etc.)? Is it produced using fair labor practices? What about the other materials you plan to use (i.e., main material of shirts/skirts/etc)?

      Great idea, but I like to know details about what goes into my products before purchasing (or investing). Thanks!
