JUST COULDN’T HIT “DELETE” ON THIS ONE: Never. No way. Sometimes, I’m great about getting to all the emails that come in. Other times, I’m horrible. Client stuff has to come first. That’s paramount. Then DDC Merch orders. Then fun stuff. That’s the pecking order, readers? Not the first time you’ve heard it on here.

Anyhoo, the oldest email in my inbox is from one Tron Burgundy of HalftoneDef Studios down in Jacksonville, Florida. And last summer, he sent the image you are seeing above. And here’s what went down:

Tron and Grease are two of Jacksonville’s ripping designers. Poster stuff, logos, illustration, and so much other rad shit. And they took it upon themselves to put our DDC “Action Caps” and “Chest Pocket Torso Covers” to the test down there in the warm beachy brine of Jacksonville, and judging from the results in their Field Notes, we passed. Phew. That was a close one.

We’re there for you. So are these torso covers. In the tropics, or up here in the woods. Whatever the climate, these shirts do the trick.
