f.a.q

what is this? why are you making these shirts? 

I was having trouble finding sobriety themed shirts that weren't super positive or boring. I wanted shirts that combine my lived sober experience with my love for band shirts and a more scrappy aesthetic. idk, i'm just doing this and seeing where it goes man

where do I know you from? you look familiar

I own and run Bendición Bottle Shop, which was Chicago's first fully NA store - you've probably seen me on the news, or Block Club, the Reader, NPR, etc. 

where are the shirts printed?

I get all of my clothing printed with Mikel at Modest Merch in Chicago. Mike has a long history of working with local bands, artists, and businesses and has been screenprinting for over 10 years. He has also been very open about his own straight edge lifestyle and is a huge advocate for speaking out and being vulnerable when you need to be. very honored to be working with him, he's a badass 

where are the stickers printed? 

this first round of stickers were printed with Sticker App because I like the quality and there's a quick turnaround. the other company I have printed with in the past is Sticker Ninja and may switch between them, but if you have other suggestions, especially local Chicago ones, please let me know. 

what's the shirt material like?

this first round of shirts is printed on gildan softstyle shirts. i'm picky about clothing materials and wanted a comfortable and kinda worn in feel to the shirts. if the brand or style changes in the future, this will be noted on the listed.
