A shirt for five dollars

Why we print our own merch on the kitchen table, and why it will stay cheap.

The first Photocopy Riot shirt was printed on Dee's kitchen table with a screen made from a picture frame. It cost us two dollars to make and we sold it for five. We still do.

The kitchen table

Every shirt is pulled by hand. The ink sits a little heavy on some, a little light on others. Nobody has the same one, which is the whole point.

The logo tee, fifty of them, all a little different.

If you can't afford the shirt, bring your own and we'll print it. Nobody leaves without one.

Patches cut by Jojo, buttons pressed on the drive.

We will never put a price on a shirt that we would not pay ourselves. That is the only rule.
