One of our premiere pieces for Fall came in a bit early today. We won’t be shipping our Fall 08 production until Mid August, but I figured we might as well give you a look at the Crosscheck Hoodie.

It’s funny, we have had some cool feedback since our history post yesterday but a couple of things were brought to my attention. One being that our own Matt Andrews was left out of the entire history, maybe it was because of the “Drew Matthews vs Matt Andrews” post from a few days ago or just me being really jealous of Matt’s infomercial abs, I somehow forgot. I will get to Matt next week, but for now to the skinny vegan kid complaining in our comment section about being left out. Well Nicholas, we did NAME these shorts after you and your vegan ways.

We brought in a new intern today, Derek. He wants to be a doctor, more specifically a psychologist. As Arlo told Derek when he first came in for an interview, “there are plenty of heads to shrink around here”.
As Tui started to give Derek the introduction we give all new people who come to Franco, I looked over at Thomas (our original intern) and I started to think about all the different people who have been around and where the brand has come from.
People always ask me about the history, and the truth is I don’t have the time to really get in depth today, but I did dig up some photos to assemble an impromptu Franco Shade family tree.

Rachard and Nicole came by. Unfortunately almost all of Summer is sold out already. We have a couple of refills coming in this week so Rachard asked if anymore product comes in to “PLEASE” set aside anything in his size. Will do.

So it is has been a while since I have made a blog, I mean Arlo is doing a great job and he’s really motivated to keep it updated with new content daily. To know why, you have to know a little bit about Arlo. The truth is we can’t go a day without Arlo and his face appearing in every blog update, wether it’s him riding horses in Texas posing like a cowboy or at Detroit for the 154th week in a row trying to fit in with all the girls almost 17 years younger than him, the truth is we have all been seeing A LOT of Arlo D. Eisenberg, and he would have it no other way.

I’m working on new T Shirt graphics. In an ideal world I would be doing this a lot more often, but in a small company you have to wear a lot of hats. So instead of whiling away my days drawing smiling penises and masturbating monkeys I end up spending a lot of my time reviewing purchase orders and calling vendors instead.

To keep up with the ever changing times, I’ve gone and made a nice little webclip icon for francoshade.com. Whats a webclip you ask? Well my child it’s a nice little icon for your shiny new iPhone. How do I get and use the webclip icon? Its simple really, get yourself an iPhone and hop on over to this here website. When its done loading on your superfast 3g iphone hit the + button in the bottom menu of the screen, then choose to “add to home screen”. Then just click the Add button in the top right of the next screen and you should be taken out of your browser to your springboard and see your fancy new webclip icon. BTW you should see a nice little favicon in your browser too.
