Quality Peoples Makes Quality T-shirts
The surfers/artists behind Quality Peoples clothing did what most people working in a Dilbert comic dream of: “quit their jobs and moved to a foreign culture,” Ed Fladung to Mexico and John Esguerra to Hawaii. In fresh graphics, their tees speak to the discerning artsy surfer and the insanely soft fabric feels as if they've been perfectly worn through many a salty summers.
The price of about $55 is steeper than the standard surf cover-up, but as an added bonus, “for every T-shirt sold Quality Peoples funds one afternoon of after-school programs for a child through P.E.A.C.E., a non-profit organization that provides much-needed holistic education in rural coastal areas of Mexico.”
Way more effective than buying chicle or a pinata from a kid at the Tijuana border—buy this T-shirt and pay for an after-school program for kids in the rural coast of Mexico.
Because they are artists, the Quality People's blog includes loads of inspirational snapshots from everywhere and anywhere through their curated eyes. A personal favorite is the “I See Waves” column of photos and images that wave hunts in non-aquatic mediums, like this below.
