Throwing Fits before we get into one hobby after another. Hating everything in your closet and slump. Busting the hate with a shopping spree. And heading down under with all the sick cunts. Let's get to some housekeeping.

[C]

Yeah, guys, today is Friday and our brand new Skew the throng fits margin shirt is now available or will be available at noon.

[D]

Yeah. When we say new. When we say new shirts dropping today, we truly mean new shirts for everyone. There's a brand new style. Brand new from the throwing fits cut and sew shirting program. Custom created fabric, woven in India fabric. All the homies shout out, Ms. Rupa. This is a long sleeve button up with a seven button front chest pocket. A rounded hem, a box pleat on the biz and an internal lock group for hanging that when you're nips out with the fellas hitting the sauna plunge.

[C]

Or if you're getting busy with a lucky anyone.

[D]

Right, just real quick on this. On the margin shirts skew the cut. It is a boxy, relaxed fit that does run true to size. Yes, we have size charts. I was in here, felt like a fucking garmento with the tape measure on my neck measuring everything from the small to the double xl. Thank you then. Don't thank me. It's my job then running to the UPS store with like. I was, I was truly on my how to make America shit. Running down Orchard street with like 15 samples. My hands getting them overnighted to the distribution center.

[C]

We found some extras for you.

[D]

Shout out Steve.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

I was like, wait a second, we should sell these.

[C]

They're. They're fully sellable.

[D]

Yeah, they are production units.

[C]

They're not for the archive, ladies and gentlemen. They're for you at home.

[D]

But refer to the size chart with any questions or Jimmy wears of M. Larry Large wears an L. Large and.

[C]

In charge of my blue chip.

[D]

All right, so that's the cut of the shirt of the Martin shirt, the specific fabric. Let's get into that. The sterling, which I'm wearing banger, custom woven textile. It's a white, white base. It has these black tri bands. Yes. We made up words in the descriptions. These like knotted acre stripes that create this like loose looser gauge. So it makes it breezier and more breathable.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Around the, around the knotted. I mean, yeah.

[C]

Thread.

[D]

It's not again like the, the, the descriptors haven't even been created in the English language.

[C]

Shout out to source.com yes, power users over here.

[D]

We have some subtle metallic streaks.

[C]

Here we go.

[D]

Running up and down this bad boy. They are made with real silver. The fucking tag says it all. 99% cotton, 1% silver metallic. This is TSA's worst nightmare.

[C]

You're going to be setting off every detector, whether you're in the airport, going to the club, whatever this is.

[D]

Do not wear this in an mri. Well, it is real silver.

[C]

Oh, you don't get naked in mri, do you? I never got one. You have your clothes on?

[D]

I don't know. I've never gotten one either.

[C]

All you guys need to know is that we are the first guys ever to presumably ask a shirting factor in India if they can put real metal, a real element from the earth.

[D]

Well, that's not true. There's that, there's that Indian guy that was obsessed with gold who like died.

[C]

He got murdered for his gold. Presumably he.

[D]

For his gold shirt. I think they like, they got me for my shirt. Okay. I could be making this up. I think they maybe threw him in a river and he drowned.

[C]

There's no way that is what happened.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

That's like the Segway guy driving a Segway off the cliff. The truth. Yes. Is stranger than fiction sometimes, folks.

[D]

Here's fucking dumbass.

[C]

So this is the, this is the sleek sterling that James is wearing. I am wearing the, the blue chip margin shirt, by the way.

[D]

Real quick. Apologies to those with eye sensitivities if my shit is bling bling.

[C]

Oh yes. Sparkling in the sun. It's subtle.

[D]

When I left the crib.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

But when I left the crib and I was in my like darker hallway, I was like, oh, I'm kind of.

[C]

Shimmering a little bit. This shit is built for fucking flash photography at the fucking function. If you're, if you happen to hang around with those guys that do that.

[D]

But I'm in the Sterling.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

Larry.

[C]

The blue chip is 100% cotton in a custom woven fabric composed of a sky blue base with textured royal blue and white stripes. This is a very tactile shirt. Yeah. As I said we. When it comes to our made in India shirting program, Throng Fits has always been. And I'm sure you agree we're fabric first. We're swatchmen, we're in the lab. It's always custom. And.

[D]

And the, the textured stripes here kind of give it this like puckered.

[C]

Yes. Slubby.

[D]

Like lived in quality too. You. It's tough to. You can iron out the wrinkles. You're going to get completely smooth because it is like a. It looks like a lived in beater.

[C]

This should have shine in. And this driver.

[D]

Daily driver.

[C]

Yeah. This shit is shining and this shit is jumping off the body in terms of texture. The goal here for the blue chip was whatever fucking standard basic blue shirt that you own or multiple blue shirts. It just got fucking 360 degree tomahawk slam dunked on this guy is, dare I say, the new final boss of blue shirts. So that was the thinking there. Therefore, going out and. Or staying in.

[D]

You know what this is, Lawrence? We're eating Those tariff costs $185 just like before. Trump the trade wars. It's not even a trade war actually. We're just losing it.

[C]

Trade loss.

[D]

Yeah, shout out all my soybean farmers. Keep your head high. Yeah, sell them shits or no, sorry, Argentina is selling the soybeans to China. If after we build them out. But yeah, we are eating the tariff costs. We're keeping them 185 shipping is dependent on where you live. So sorry to all my European homies.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. That's a Shopify. Don't live in.

[D]

Don't live in a terrible place. Come to America if you can. I guess you can't.

[C]

Yeah. If you're in a. If you're living in a country that just won a rider cup. The downside is that Shopify has the baked in shipping and that' take it up with them. All you need to know is that if you were a patron, this was available. You got first dibs yesterday. And if you're listening to this before noon, stop what you're doing and fucking hit the site shop throwingfits.com with the password and nom, nom, nom, nom nom. Eat up before these do drop to gen pop at noon EST today, Friday, October 3rd, the day this came out and you're listening to it. These are. And then we can move on. But it has to be said when.

[D]

We both brought running low on some of the sizing.

[C]

Oh no. Damn.

[D]

So this is why you want to sign up for the Patreon. For the price of a 12 inches of subway cookie, you could be getting early access to every single piece of cut and so we ever drop. Because that's what's going to happen, right? Every single.

[C]

Presumably. Yeah.

[D]

No promises or. Sorry, no. No giving away what we have in store. But let's just say if it's cut and or sewn, you will be getting 24 hour at least 24 hour early access via Patreon. If your size sold out because you're gen pop. Sorry.

[C]

Yeah. Excuse the self glazing, the self suck, the self master flexing for one second when James and I showed up early to our private Dinner at Bridges. And we hit the back room with the one and only Hunter Abrams to shoot these. You and I both kind of had a moment where we're, like, putting them on. We're looking at the pick previews and the little fucking, you know, screen on the camera. We're like, yo, these are the best shirts we've ever done. And it's not just because we had Hunter behind the ledge. And we're in a beautiful fucking red.

[D]

Room in Bridges, by the way, on one year.

[C]

Yeah. Congrats to Bridges on one year. And one of the cool. Just because of, you know, cool room, cool restaurant, cool photographer. Sure. These shirts. I am. Let's get sincere. I'm incredibly proud of how we. Because we're not designers. We are guys that like clothes. We fill holes in our wardrobe. We get hands on with the fabrics and the swatches. I am really impressed with how far we've come where, like, everything we've released, I've been proud of. They've been great. But I really think in terms of textiles, the evolution is. It's been astounding to get to this point. These are fucking good. I'm. Listen. They're fucking good.

[D]

Let's gotten to the point where we're like, hey, we have an idea. And then that idea can come to absolute fruition versus, like, hey, we have a reference. Or like, oh, we like this watch. But we want to, like, you know, make it our own via this. Because we never use a. Every. Every textile we've done, I believe, has been custom creation. Had to be woven from nothing.

[C]

Literally pulled out of thin air.

[D]

It was a dreamweaver, bro. We just came in with hopes and.

[C]

Dreams and titled Dreamweavers.

[D]

No. And they wove them.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

All right, so the shirts are available now. 185. We limited inventory. They do ship out immediately.

[C]

Yep.

[D]

Probably get them like, I mean, no promises, but we do tomorrow. Best distribution center in the world. You probably get them in two days if you're in America, Steve. Few days after that if you're international.

[C]

Yep. Bangers. Just. Just 185. Two more bangers. Yep. I mean, show me a. Another shirt of this quality that right now with the tariffs that you're probably eating is like sub 250.

[D]

I mean, we.

[C]

And I'll show you a liar.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Because our is better. And I'm not. Okay. I want to compare our.

[D]

Our shit's better.

[C]

I. I was gonna say it's made.

[D]

It's made in the fat.

[C]

It's made with real silver.

[D]

It's made with real silver. It's made in. We're crazy. Same factories as some of the big dogs that are charging.

[C]

They're charging more and making you eat those tariffs like a little pay pig. Little slop.

[D]

Guess what? We're eating those tariffs for you.

[C]

Yeah, we're starving.

[D]

No, we're not starving. We're full of tariff of eating those tariffs. That's.

[C]

Yeah, that. That metaphor works. Yeah.
