Oh my gosh I'm about to move to Chicago this weekend for school and I'm definitely excited about visiting the store!



The thing is, I kind of find it to be a bit of a turnoff to see all the identical shirts stacked up. I know it's no secret that the shirts are heavily popular, but it's the same kind of feeling that makes those department store novelty tees a bit unappealing.



I just find that the products would look so much better if there was a way to, I don't know, "dispense" shirts (by size) so that people see each shirt one at a time without having to be reminded that their shirt is not as one of MANY MANY that so many other people in the area have bought or are bound to buy.



Just a humble suggestion; I think the store is very lovely.

hey skaw, is that a reprint of vampire orthodontics or just an old one? cause i'd kill for a reprint of that. I wouldn't kill much, maybe a spider or a bug, but i'd kill.

^ then below each shirt you should cast the artists hands of any designer that visits the store, with a photo and possibly like a artist profile.. that would be snazzy
