Don’t buy a shirt from us today. Nope. Instead, go help designer Joe Kral out. He got in a bit of a pickle a month back with some kidney trouble, spent a week in the hospital getting back up to snuff, and left the joint $50,000 in the hole. Joe didn’t have insurance.

Please donate some hard-earned loot towards an amazing designer in a hell of a pinch. A little goes a long way. All proceeds from the DDC Merch sales today will go towards getting Joe “out of the red.” Help a brother out.

So wait, scratch the first statement of this morsel. Buy a shirt and help Joe.
