Although we were unable to secure a booth at Open Sauce 2023, we wanted to have some level of branding to hopefully encourage people to ask about the Leaf Tree and get some interest! We initially, admittedly quite last-minute, looked to local print shops in the Shenandoah Valley that could get us some shirts, but we had to go with a shop in San Francisco to provide the appropriate turnaround time. 

We decided to go with The Lords of Print and they were great to work with! We were able to get plastic-free blanks and even changed our original vision for colors based on a suggestion they provided. If you’re in need of custom shirts in San Francisco, we can definitely recommend them! And if you’re anywhere else in the country, or the world, looking for custom shirts, try to find some local shops to see if they can fulfill your order requirements before going with the big-box print shops. It might be a bit more expensive, but the hope is the people are better compensated, better trained, t supports your local economy, and the quality of the shirt and the print itself will far exceed that of the mass-market providers. 
There are a few extra shirts because we had to purchase a minimum count to get them printed, so if there’s any interest in them, let us know! We could test a micro store through our wordpress site to get them to you, at cost, and test the feasibility of selling our Leaf Trees through our own portal here. If you email us, leaftree@gmail.com we will definitely see it and get back to you asap.

And we want to give a big thank you to everyone who’s been keeping up with us so far!
