After a faithful viewing of Real Genius I really, really wanted an "I Love Toxic Waste" t-shirt. However, my search for the perfect shirt was extremely frustrating.
I couldn't find one that looked anything like the shirt from the movie. Unable to find a decent replica of the shirt, I decided to make my own.
With the help of some talented friends, I was able to reproduce the shirt with the accuracy and quality that I wanted.
During the course of the project, my appreciation for Chris Knight's other t-shirts grew, so we decided to make some of them too.
Every aspect of those shirts was studied and recreated with great fidelity. During my initial search for an "I Love Toxic Waste" shirt,
I was surprised to find that other people looking for the shirts from the movie as well.
So founditemclothing.com was born, with the goal of making those shirts available to all.
Since then, people have started requesting shirts from other movies,
and I've started noticing shirts in other movies too. And so, our catalog of shirts has grown as we add great shirts from
other favorite movies.

Just wanted to let you know I got "Surf Nicaragua" and "Gorillas" today and they are both most excellent. I'm wearing Gorillas right now and today my friends who know Real Genius are going to poop their pants with envy. Envy, and also sweet, sweet joy, that someone out there had the love, and the freeze frame, to make these fine tributes. Thanks,

I have scoured the net for YEARS looking for this shirt. That it now exists again is in all honesty the end of an extremely long walk through the desert for me. Thank you very much for resurrecting it.

I just wanted to let you know that I received my "Caduceus" T-Shirt just last week and I've worn it about 3 times since (I have a policy of not wearing the same t-shirt twice in a week, but I can't help it with this one). The quality far exceeded my expectations. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is my favorite movie of all time and I've searched for this shirt many times before with no luck. Thank you for making my dreams come true.

My girlfriend got me the "I (heart) Toxic Waste" shirt for my birthday on Saturday. I just thought you might want to know that I love it; it's a great replication and the shirt itself is high-quality.

I could not be more satisfied with my dealings with you and Found Item Clothing. My co-workers and I often bemoan the state of customer service in America these days. You guys do it right and it's very refreshing. Thanks for all your work and attention.

I just have to say, thank you sooooooooo much! I recently found your "Flynn's" arcade shirt from the movie Tron! Oh my god! I seriously thought I was going to have to have it specially made as a gift for my boyfriend. I can't believe it. You rock my world. You just aided in making me the coolest girlfriend ever!
I just wanted to say thank you and let you know that what you do is important to people, creates memories that last a lifetime and you truly do rock!

I just had to write and tell you how great the bunny slippers are! I bought a pair for my boyfriend for Christmas, you see, we had a bet, he said that I would never be able to find a pair of fuzzy bunny slippers big enough to fit him, but if I did, he would wear them.
So I hopped on the internet and found your website, and I was so excited to see that you carry them in so many sizes!
And they were every bit as cute as the picture on your website, not to mention the high quality.
I made my boyfriend open them on Christmas Eve, I couldn't wait any longer! And to my surprise, he loved them!
They were the hit of the evening! I highly recommend them, they are very high quality, very warm and worth every penny!

Last week I ordered Jack Burton's Fu Manchu tank top. I just got it today (amazingly fast shipping!),
and it's freakin awesome! It's even better than the one pictured on [other websites]: the colors and overall fit are much more accurate!
You did a great job of recreating it, and it's great to know who I can depend on to find movie shirts.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank your for recreating some great shirts from classic movies. I've received 2 of the Real Genius designs and 1 Revenge of the Nerds design. I am very impressed with the quality of designs, they seem to be exact replicas of the original shirts. In fact, I've just ordered 2 more designs from your website.

I just wanted to write and thank you and your company. I ordered the Happy Gilmore "Guns Don't Kill People" and Real Genius "Surf Nicaragua" shirts last week and love them. I bartend at my friends restaurant and have gotten many compliments on the shirts.
