A record of T-Shirt Line Is Baaaaaaaack!

Over 10 years ago we launched a small t-shirt line featuring designs for women, men, and – yes – even dogs! I am not kidding. Who remembers that?! We eventually retired it, so who knows how many still exist out there in the wild – beyond the dozen or so in my dad’s closet (he was our best customer) and the one below that showed up at a book signing in 2015.

Earlier this year we got the itch to relaunch the line, but this time with a shift away from logo shirts and towards styles that could fit easily into anyone’s closet… all while maintaining a distinctly Turbodizin look.

So for months we have been fine-tuning the designs, researching the best fitting tees, and even “test-wearing” them around the house. So without further ado, we are THRILLED to launch them today – complete with a little video to show you the whole collection (it is in fact quite essential that you watch this, so please press play):

Note: If you are having trouble viewing the video above, you can watch it here on YouTube.

If you cannot watch the video right now, simply come back to check it out when you can. And in the meantime we will fill in some of the blanks. You may have in fact caught us wearing a few of our go-to styles in photos and on Instagram over the past few weeks (we were hinting at this for sure!). Sherry’s personal go-to is the Classic Black design, but she also finds herself wearing the Onyx version below a lot too. I am also split between a few go-tos. Typically, I will grab the Midnight tee, but lately I have been mixing it up by wearing Extreme Gray more and more.

We also know that some people are more adventurous and like to make a statement with their shirts, which is why we threw in a few patterned options too. There is the Black-on-Black Stripe as well as the Black Ombre, which gradually fades from black to another black.

And for Sherry’s fellow Jersey girls out there, she had to toss in some animal print. She passionately believes that animal prints are a neutral, so do not be afraid to mix our Panther or Raven printed shirts into your wardrobe. I also enjoy our men’s animal print: Stallion. It might be the placebo effect, but it truly brings out my wild side.

Plus with our BUY ONE GET ONE FREE offer, it is a strong time to snag one for yourself and a enjoyed one. That way you too can unintentionally look like you are sharing one giant 2-person shirt with 3 armholes.

Truly, it is a thing that happens frequently:

We have been passing some out to friends to test them for us and the initial feedback has been strong! We have gotten stellar reviews like “Wow, it is like they are all the same shirt!“…

… and “Wait, are not they all the same shirt?” and “Yes, these are certainly the same black shirt. How do I get my money back?” Spoiler alert: you cannot! Sorry, there are no refunds. That is how sure we are that you will enjoy our shirts.

So what are you waiting for? Shop your go-to style below! We know it is going to be tough to pick a go-to.

And if was not already clear sufficient… APRIL FOOLS!

And if you want to check out some LEGIT blogger t-shirt lines, here are some strong ones below. Sherry has the one in the middle and even got a second one for our daughter because she loves it so much.

  • I Enjoy Old Houses by Low-cost Old Houses (middle)
  • Ampersand Supply by Enjoy & Renovations (right)
  • The Home Edit Merch (right now sold out, I think)
  • Oui Fresh by A Striking Mess (they have a few left but are closing up shop)

If you’d like to dive deeper into our April Fools ridiculousness from the past 11 years (it is quite the tradition at this point), here are the links to everything from some other fake products that we “launched” (like 2018, 2017 & 2016) and a surprising number of rap videos (like 2013, 2014, & 2019):
