I decided last week that their Track Shirt is the most comfortable shirt I've ever owned. I was thinking of stocking my closet with 20 of these. Guess I better get my order in.

I find this really sad, as it's production was actually US based and they did provide a quality product. I only own maybe 2 items from there, and they are only blank shirts that have been custom screened, but I really do like the cut, fabric, and color.
Regardless of their marketing (which i do not mind. at all. esp the "porn-ness" of it), and their association to "hipsterdom", it is very unfortunate to see a domestically based business model with quality product fail. I sincerely hope it doesn't get bought up and send to China.

their product isn't out of style, their demographic is.
just get better people to handle the money and rebrand.

Go back to just making t-shirts.
They definitely went a tad overboard with all the shit they're churning out these days...
That and, like ukit said, it seems like there is practically one on every corner, at least in NYC.
