It is going to be traditional pieces in solid colors. Think a mix of W + H and J Crew. But here is the kicker. Instead of having an icon or logo on all the garments, there will be a faded pizza stain on the upper right chest (similar to where the Croc goes).

This way, the wearer will be at the same time sloppy chic and elitist hip (if others of a similar ilk can recognize him). I'd say this is the pinnacle of the 21st century's stylistic deuteronomy.

One issue I have foreseen is forging/faking of garments on ebay. Our pizza stains will be from 100% organic pizza from one of the most storied Brooklyn pizza parlors in history (cannot divulge name). Moreover, they will come with a pizza-scented sticker & patch of authenticity with a serial number (exact time the staining pizza came out of the oven). All of this will be very difficult to fake well.

Feedback? Taking requests for pieces and advanced orders starting now.

We can customize stain placement on smaller pieces. Where would you like it on the underwear?

What types of pizza stains will be available, and will we be able to customize them? I don't fare well with mushrooms.

Currently we only offer two options for pizza stains - regular extra cheese with pepperoni & vegetarian for our environmentally-conscious clientele. Right now the economics make it difficult to offer further customization, but stay tuned for updates.

That is filthy. This is legitimate undertaking, not some kind of sick internet nerd joke.

Can you pretend it's a limited run and then print the number in series somewhere so we can hype it up more and inflate its value?

It actually has to be a limited run, by definition. The pizza parlor we are collabing with is very professional - they will not send a pizza to a customer if it has been tampered with. This means that for every garment, we have to pay full price on a pizza to get the stain onto the garment. As each garment has a unique serial number, using the same pizza for two stains would be compromising the product's ubiquity and the customer's value. As you can imagine, this drives up the cost of production by about $10-$12 per item, depending on pepperoni/vegetarian option. We try to control costs as much as we can, but when you combine the limited production capability of our partner parlor and our own handcrafted organic garment milling process, there really is no option other than a limited run at this time.
