Printing Is Complete!

We are so excited to finally be able to announce that all the printing of Borninfornia shirts has finally been completed. We know that this announcement is long over due and we are so thankful for your continued patience and support.

It has truly been a stressful and trying couple of months after we found out that our original printer was part of a lawsuit and had to cut ties with us. We had been working with this printer for several months in preparation before we even launched our Kickstarter and it was extremely disappointing to hear that we had legally had to stop working with them after our many hours and countless late nights spent working with them. We are very much looking forward to day we are able to once again work with them but until then we found a very dependable local printer (after several weeks of searching) that will complete our work for the near future.

Our main goal from Day 1 has been to offer high-quality apparel that is Made in California. Now that our first full run of shirts is done we are excited to say that we were able to stay true to our main goal. When we say our clothing is made in California, we mean it. Every aspect of our shirts, even the print ink itself, was made in California. The designs were made in Santa Cruz. The shirt blanks came from Los Angeles. The shirt printing was completed in San Diego and the cut and sew aspects will be completed in San Diego as well. We possibly could have gotten better quality printing done outside of California but we never even considered that option as Borninfornia is all about being 100% California.

We cannot begin to express how disappointed we are that this project two a couple of months longer than anticipated to be delivered to your doorstep but the wait is nearly over! The next step is that we must have the pocket and patch designs cut and sewn onto the shirts and the clip labels attached to the hip area of every shirt. This process should be fairly quick as the shop we are using complete cut & sew projects for their main source of income. We are dropping the shirts off to have these final steps completed and then will host a major packing and shipping party to make sure we get you your shirts ASAP!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, or would rather receive a full refund instead of your Borninfornia shirts please contact us via email using borninfornia@gmail.com. Also, we have the very basics of a website up and running if you want to check it out at www.Borninfornia.com. It is nothing pretty and we aren't selling any product on it as of now but hope so in the very near future.

Much Love,
Andrew & Danny

Borninfornia Clip Labels

Here's a preview of the Borninfornia Clip Labels that will be attached to the bottom right hip area of each and every Borninfornia Shirt. One side says "BORNINFORNIA" while the other side reads "100% CALIFORNIA". What do you guys think?

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!
