Do you like math? Do you like deductive reasoning? Do you like eliminating possibilities? Well, that is part of Direct To Garment Printing. The printers are so complex, with so many moving parts, not to mention the software. There will be problems to solve. You will experience issues if you choose to invest in one of these $20,000+ machines. I like to call mine a robot. It has squeegees and dampers and pumps and heads and nozzles and lines and motherboards and plattons.

Small tasks that might seem inconsequential, mundane, or irrelevant can build up to be something brilliant, compelling, and momentus. We're chipping away at it here at Vertical Street. We order the shirts, we pretreat the shirts, we press the pretreatment into the shirts, we print the shirts, we cure the ink, we package the shirts, we deliver the shirts. Although sometimes the repetetiveness of our work appears robotic, the fact is -- we love it! We are passionate about s

Please surf over to Paper Room Apparel (https://www.apaper-room.com/). They're out of Detroit. This print features a sign from the old neighborhood where Eric, of Paper Room grew up. It's a reminder of the days when his life was a little bit simpler, a little smaller. I say that because now his life is big. These designs are really going places, and are featured in street wear shops in the city. Support local, support Detroit, support Paper Room. This is a small label w

We shipped off some pretty prints and some shop shirts to @southcoastbicycles the other day. The new owner, Jeff, and shop dog Ruby, were kind enough to let us carry a small line of bicyce and disc golf themed shirts in the shop. So go to Bandon and check out South Coast Bicycles, get some crab and a beer, take a ride on the beach, play some disc golf. I heard they have a new golf course. Rent a fat tire bike from SCB and ride along the waterline, it's beautiful! #bicycle

Here's a classic concert shirt that we could only find a semi-descent washed out image of, so we spent a while cleaning it up. A dear friend and Dolly fan requested it, and as you can see, she's a bit indecisive when it comes to color , so.... The razor back tank is a poly/rayon/cotton blend, so I printed it as if was on 100% polyester, and it came out bright and great. Hopefully it washes well too. Who's your favorite singer? We have to admit, we're big Dolly fans as we

Who doesn't like to wander around in nature and throw things as far as you possibly can? Well, it's not as simple as that, but as many of you know, disc golf courses are everywhere. In the woods, in parks, within a golf course. The shiney metal basket call for you to whip a disc through towering trees, or over a creek to get that much closer to the glorious sound of the disc hitting the chains and falling in the basket to hole out. Here are some shirts we made for a disc g

Did you know that the bike shop in Bandon, Oregon just changed ownership? Previous owner, race icon Karl Maxon, is helping new owner Jeff Botelho transition as shop owner - and the place is looking spectacular! Please visit them for all your bicycle accessory needs or rent their fat tire beach bikes. I heard they have every innertube size available. They even have some disc golf stuff, so check that out. We know, there aren't many bikes on the shelves, but that's everywh

Our customer up the road wanted to let everyone know the reason why they wear a mask. On the back of this shirt it says, "Do you?" We think it is a show of humanitarianism to wear a mask around the people serving you everyday; postal workers, wait staff, cashiers, grocers, retailers, etc. We all rely on our paychecks, and if we put others in jeopardy of loosing they pay because they're home sick, it a sign of self centeredness. Care about your family, friends, and all tho

Your dog will look cool and carry their contact information just in case they're lost. Choose a graphic, or we'll make a custom design involving their name. Assorted colors, even tie dye. Cool dogs wear bandannas. Don't let the other dogs mock your dog's run of the mill collar and tag. Get Rose a bandanna for Pete's sake! #dtg #dtgprints #dtgprinting #dogs #bandanna #collar #dog #cat #cats #pets #ID #rose #yellowrose #petsafety

Holidays are coming, so if you want a Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah dish towel, hit us up. Here are some examples of our novelty towels that we sell at pop-up events. If you have a clever saying or a graphic that you want on a dish towel simply contact Vertical Street and we'll gladly get the ball rolling. These are great for your kitchen or beach house or take them camping or put them in your RV or trailer. Customize for yourself or as a gift. Bar towels

Maybe it's the current climate in the USA, or maybe we're carving out a niche for ourselves, but it sure seems like Vertical Street is printing up a lot more political shirts these days. Maybe people are sick and tired of being sick and tired, so they're speaking out about the things that matter, the things they truely believe in. It feels good to tell the world how you feel. Let a stranger know, let a relative see, watch a passerby read the message on your shirt. This is

It's summer, and if you want to social distance for realzies, bike packing might not be a bad option. Depending on where you go, you might not see other humans for days. The continental divide trail is fairly popular but a big commitment. You could just strap some gear to your bike and ride to your closest secret spot or camp ground, pitch a tent, eat a cheese sandwich and ride home the next day. Escapes are good for the soul, and in this case, good for the body. Keep mas

Vertical Street did some tie dye hoodies and long sleeve shirts and masks. Fun, colorful, and the prints look extra bold against the morphing dye colors. Popular and trendy, these tie dyes are for young and old. Let us know what we can do for you. #dtg #dtgprinting #dtgprints #tiedye #safesix #covid #mountainbike #mtb #dragon #hippy #gratefuldead #trippy

It's still relevent, we're all tired of it, but please practice it - social distancing. This long sleeve shirt says it all. Spread that wingspan and show people that you're aware of the six foot rule. Social distancing is safe, helps stop or slow the spread of covid19, and sometimes it's downright necessary. Keep you distance people! This shirt will help remind you and others to be safe. #socialdistancing #covid19 #corona #coronavirus #sixfeet #sixfeetrule #twometerrule

Congratulations to Jeff Botelho. He is in the process of purchasing South Coast Bicycles in Bandon. If you read our last post, you know we are passionate about bicycles and the bike community. We will be supporting Jeff in his new endeavor by volunteering our time and to help clean shop and branding some new shirts for the shop. What an exciting time to be a shop owner, with sales up around the nation, and the beautiful Oregon Coast on their doorstep, this could be the pe

Some big collaborations are developing here at Vertical Street. I was honored to be asked to do some testing for a bright young brand coming out of Michigan. Their roots run deep up by the lakes. These guys have some great disigns, but even greater cause. I'm hoping I get a chance to work with Paper Room. Did I mention they're using the good good -- eConscious organic cotton. When you print on eConscious, you know your design is going to look as sharp as possible, and y
