FlashBACK!

SPOTTED!  Temper Temper t-shirt of 2005.  Look a little closer and the t-shirt is a limited edition sewn and designed by Fasten Collective of 2005.  This was old school Fasten before the boutique- when we only sold in the summer at the East Side Open Market (now the East Side Green Market) in the Beans and Barley parking lot.  Vee, Laurie, Leslie and I slaved over these.  I think the band sold them for $15 a piece and they flew off the merch table before i even got to the show.  We dye-removed all the giant thrifted tees and then cut, sewed and embellished in my apartment on Oakland.  Yes, that is a stenciled cat in the corner with puffy paint detailing.  Mirabelle swears this is still her favorite shirt - she wears it all the time and I can tell you from seeing it in person, they get better with age.
