there's so much demand for this shirt, i forgive threadless for reprinting this...even though i'm never going to buy it.

Yup....and don't be surprised when you see an 18th reprinting either.

How many reprints does it take before a shirt gets retired?

If it's as awesome as this tee is and making as much money for Threadless as it has been...then some time in 3013 i'd wager.

a question: is the artist paid when the shirt is reprinted? i'm just curious about that... thanks in advance for the answer ;-)

I don't think artists are paid for reprints.

yeah i think they owe tom burns a free trip anywhere in the world at this point

yeah, i think they should pay designers every time their shirt is reprinted, haha

I am happy it was since I got mine finally, but I could have done without it now that I know how not limited it is. I thought the whole point of this site was the limited availability. I almost think they should print a shirt if there is enough demand reprint it and then that is it....retire that joint.

i passionately agree! yeah! rabble!

ok thanks for the info ;)

Im so happy they reprinted it... I missed buying it in my size the last two printings... finally it will be mine.

Ummmmmmmmmmm...where do i start? The point of this site is to make tons o' money but also cater to an artistic, free-thinking audience and make it a community as well...but money is also very important, especially to a ocmpnay that is continually growing bigger and bigger like threadless is (to our advantage, I might add). So The Communist Party has been reprinted like 6+ times. OH NO!!!! I guess that means that a few thousand other people around the world might have the same awesome tee as you! Heavens! Even if the shirt was reprinted a dozen more times, the odds of seeing another person with this shirt on in real life is STILL extremely limited because urban outfitters and hot topic print that many tees per location, not the world. And you only buy amazingly awesome t-shirts when you think you will be one of the few with them? How bout just being happy that you have an amazing tee that still very few peole around the world own and less worrying about NOT being the person to have one. Carpe T-shirt, you know?

*NOT being the only person to have one.
