Okay everyone! I’ve opened a CafePress store for our DKos HillPeeps “Under the Bus” unity shirts. To catch up on the relevant information about the t-shirts, check out our first two “Under the Bus” t-shirt diaries:
1: www.dailykos.com/…
2: www.dailykos.com/...
We chose CafePress because they offered easy-order, easy-delivery options with no markup. That means there is no profit coming to me for organizing the CafePress HillPeep store. CafePress orders some Made in USA options (American Apparel), but be advised that not all options presented are made in USA. Check the listing on the store mainpage AND the individual product descriptions for each item. Note that some descriptions list “Made in USA” and then “Imported.” I believe this means that the fabric is imported (most is), but the shirt itself is made here in the US.
Here is the link for the store:

Please note that some medium/royal blue options are coming. I have to test the art before I make the shirts available, however. Dark shirts have a different printing process that requires a different version of the image, and I’d like to “proof” the item in person before I am comfortable putting it up for you guys to buy.
I purchased the v-neck women’s t-shirt in white to see how the front and back art looked, and it was pretty nice! Everyone’s names came out very crisply. I’m including a couple of photos so you can see how it looks. FWIW, the shirt fit true to the listed measurements in the size chart (I ordered an XL). Pardon my batwings.
Thank you to everyone who supported this idea and offered advice. I’m so honored to be sharing this election experience with you guys. Hope you enjoy the shirts!

Hi guys! No blue shirts yet as I haven’t had time/money to “proof” the art by buying a shirt. I may also have to change the color of the bus in the graphic to make it look right. Since I’m leaving the state for a week starting tomorrow, look for these at the beginning of October.

I have added dark-colored shirts to the shop. :) I have not seen any of these in person so I can’t guarantee they will be perfect, but most colors look fine in the proof images. The two royal blue shirts were iffy as the blue bus is so similar in color, but I have added an outline to the bus to provide some contrast. Hopefully, it prints nicely!

Hey guys! Home from Florida and heading to the Sacramento March on Saturday!
Also wanted to update everyone on the Tshirt donation. To recap, CafePress gave us $87 even though we had selected NO markup on our Under the Bus Tshirts. I got some feedback from you guys a few weeks back and decided to donate to Standing Rock and Planned Parenthood. I gave $50 to Standing Rock and $100 (I kicked in some extra) to PP in Mike Pence’s name.
I also purchased an Under the Bus tshirt specifically for Hillary, which I sent to her with a card from us. ;)
If you still want Under the Bus items, they’ll be available indefinitely. Any cut we get I will donate to causes we support. If you would like an item that CafePress carries that I haven’t put in the store, let me know. Here’s our shop: www.cafepress.com/...
Thanks for everything!!!
