Huge Clearance Sale to Make Way for Destee-Nation’s Cool New T-shirts!

Dispatch — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:43:10 +0000

Our big pre-holiday season clearance sale is now underway—we’re blowing out all of our older-style t-shirts to make way for our new Destee Brand T-shirts. All of our Classic Fit T-shirts are on sale for a flat $18 bucks, with free shipping as usual. Get them while sizes last! It’s the perfect opportunity to do some early holiday shopping. Go ahead, check a few people off your gift list!

We are happy to announce that we’re now able to produce our very own All-American, ultra-soft, fashion-worthy shirt. Working with an L.A.-based textile mill means we get to spec the t-shirts right down to thread count, sizing, fit and color. No more compromises. Can you tell we’re excited?

Our new Destee Brand blank t-shirts are custom dyed, pajama-soft and downright refined, but not in a super-tight way that only people with perfect bodies can wear. We also revamped our print shop to silkscreen with water-based inks that give the shirts that soft-hand feel. Check out our new t-shirts today!

Destee-Nation on KIRO Talk Radio

Dispatch — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:56:42 +0000

710 KIRO Radio’s infamous duo Ron & Don of The Ron & Don Show invited our founder, Matt Morgan, to spend some quality on-air time discussing Destee-Nation and our ongoing t-shirt expedition. One thing that stands out about radio is just how quickly and articulately these guys can make their point and cover all the bases! Callers rang in to suggest their favorite spots (some even recommended places we already have!), and overall it was a great day in the sound studio. Visit their website to listen to the full interview.

New Hawaiian T-Shirts: Oahu Destee-Nations

Dispatch — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:17:19 +0000

Time flies. It’s already been over a month since our scouts were on Oahu looking for the top landmark establishments on the island. Until recently, our Hawaiian t-shirt collection has been predominantly from Kona on the Big Island. But our scouts finally had time to do a little island hopping, and we’re slowly rolling out the new designs.

Our latest additions include: Honolulu Scuba Co., Matsumoto Shave Ice, Like Like Drive Inn.

And coming soon to a t-shirt near you:

Kualoa Ranch
Rainbow Drive-In
Waiola Shave Ice
Lulu’s Waikiki Surf Club

Destee-Nation is in the New York Times Magazine!

Dispatch — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 14:19:01 +0000

When columnist and author, Rob Walker contacted our founder a couple months ago for a piece he wanted to do, we quickly did our research and discovered a kindred spirit. Rob’s new book, Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are, strikes a deep chord and articulates so many of the original notions we embraced when we started this little t-shirt company. We feel honored to be the recipients of his attention and powerful words.

Go read Rob Walker’s great piece about Destee-Nation in his New York Times Magazine column Consumed! You can also visit his blog Murketing.com to read an archive of Consumed and so much more.

Just in time for the Half-Yearly Sale!

Dispatch — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:10:37 +0000

We’re finally ready to announce our big news: Destee-Nation t-shirts are now on sale at Nordstrom! After a few months of meetings, planning and some grueling production decisions, we shipped our first order to Seattle-area and Southern California Nordstrom stores earlier this week. Next up on the agenda: Northern California and Hawaii, with Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Florida all on the docket later this year.

In spite of its nation-wide presence and household name, at heart Nordstrom is a family-run and privately operated company, and we have felt that energy resonating from everyone who has been integral in this process. Everyone we’ve worked with has been super helpful and accommodating, and if you’ve ever shopped at Nordstrom, you’ll know the sales team members are knowledgeable about their products and take great care to assist their customers.

We feel confident our relationship with them will be lasting and rewarding for all of our Destee-Nation member businesses, whether their t-shirts are sold in Nordstrom or just benefit from the added buzz to our t-shirt shop.

We’ve been on a bit of a blog hiatus these last few months, but it in no way reflects how busy we’ve been. New shirts are rolling off the presses every day, and our stores (Seattle, Kona and online) had a great holiday season. As we enter into the new year, there are lots of big deals on the horizon, including possibly distributing to major, national retailers. Stay tuned!

On Sale Today — Bad Juju Lounge T-Shirts

Here’s what we have to say about this cool lounge located in Seattle’s infamous Neumos:

Once a standalone bar, the Bad Juju Lounge has moved into Neumo’s, one of Seattle’s premier music venues, and the marriage is a happy one. Separated from the live sounds of the club, this full bar offers a comfortable spot to chill out before, during and after the show. Nightly DJs serve up music in varying degrees & flavors of rock, and a plethora of plush sofas make weary show-watching feet happy. Keeping with the original location, the surroundings are embellished with New Orleans voodoo art and complemented by local artisans’ glasswork and iron sculptures.
