Production Well Underway!

Hello Everybody!

It has been far too long since we have last checked in, hope you have missed us as much as we have missed you!

Here is just a little bit of what we have been up to. We have been working closely with a brand new printing agency right here in the heart of San Diego. They have been stellar so far and it is very exciting to be working with a fellow startup that is literally down the street from our two houses. Right now most of our Bear Republic Tees and Borninfornia Logo Tees have been printed! We will be sharing pictures very soon.

We finally have all of our ducks in a row as far as legality in the Golden State, it feels great to be prepared to sell clothing to individuals throughout California, the United States, and around the globe.

And finally, as we prep for shipping soon we have also been working on new designs that you are going to LOVE. As always, any suggestions are welcomed with open arms.

Goodbye for now, keep an eye out for pictures of your rewards coming soon!

Weird California Laws

Now everybody knows California is pretty dang awesome - amazing beaches, great surf, Disneyland, warm weather year round, etc. But there are some pretty odd and unusual aspects about California, including the following laws:

• In California, no vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 MPG. 

• In California, animals are banned from publicly mating with 500 yards of a tavern, school, or church.  

• In California,  house sellers must warn potential buyers if their house is thought to be haunted.  

• In California, it is a punishable crime to not relinquish the phone in an emergency situation. 

• In California, it is illegal to sell or prescribe liquid silicone for breast implants. 

• In California, it is illegal to shoot a turtle. 

• In California, it is illegal to capture or sell a chipmunk.

Order Has Been Placed!

Danny and I spent the majority of last night putting together a bulk order to place with our shirt supplier. They have confirmed receipt of the order and plan on beginning shirt production starting early next week. The production of the shirts will be done right down the street from Danny's house and my apartment so we are going to be a part of the process of the entire time and be able to perform quality control checks throughout the production process.

Not only will we be able to keep an eye on the process but we will also be able to be a part of the production process by working the printer and sewing on labels and pockets ourselves. This is very exciting for us because we have always wanted to be a part of the entire process and by choosing a local supplier we are able to do this. We are both hands on people and are very excited to be able to help produce the shirts ourselves.

We will throw up some pictures next week once the production process starts and we will continue to keep you guys updated throughout the entire process.

Cheers,
Andrew & Daniel

10-hours Left!

This is it. The final countdown. The last hurrah. The conclusion. In less than 10-hours Borninfornia's Kickstarter Campaign will be complete. But fear not, this isn't the end - this is just the beginning! Once the campaign ends and the funds clear, that's when the real fun begins as we start the production of Borninfornia's Statewide Collection. 

This is the final time we will be making the following request - please share Borninfornia's Campaign with your social network by using http://kck.st/14ED60N. Facebook it. Tweet it. Instagram it. Text it. Myspace it. Sign language it. Smoke signal it. Whatever it takes, spread the word! 

Just remember that every single time you decide to not share our campaign, one innocent child receives a mullet haircut. Just think about that... Do you really want that on your conscience? 

This is it. It's game time. 

The Borninfornia Bear is hungry. Let's feed it.

What do you guys think?!

One Week Left!

7-days left for Borninfornia's Kickstarter Campaign and we need less than $200 to hit our goal of $5,000! Danny and I couldn't be more excited as we are slowly but ever so surely getting closer to making Borninfornia become a reality! All we need is to average $24 for the next week and we will hit our goal and finally be able to start production!

91% Funded And Growing!

We are excited to announce that the Borninfornia Kickstarter.com Campaign surpassed $4,500 in funding earlier today! That means that the campaign is now over 90% funded with only 9-days to go!

At this point, we need an average of $42 per day to reach our ultimate goal of $5,000. We truly think that this is possible but we really need your help for our dream of a Borninfornia brand to become a reality! Even if you aren't able to financially support the campaign yourself, a simple share on your Facebook or Instagram account would mean the world to us. For the purpose of sharing on social media platforms, it is easier to use the following shortened URL that will direct your network straight to the Borninfornia Campaign: http://kck.st/14ED60N

 

Thanks again for all the support! Without your guys' help, this wouldn't be possible and for that we are eternally grateful!


Best Wishes,
Andrew & Daniel
