After much debate and heated procrastination, we’ve finally constructed a Facebook page for Founditemclothing.com and our sister sites, Bunnyslippers.com and Usefulthings.com. If you’re a happy customer and want to help spread the word about FIC, show us some love and befriend us.

We’ll bring word of news, new products, office gossip, the occasional product sighting, sales (however rare), and so much more, including exclusive content and contests for FB friends. This page will also provide a forum for loyal fans to submit pictures and videos of themselves rocking FIC gear (and looking good in the process).

Let us know what you think — put your facebook into myspace: travis@founditemclothing.com.

Maybe you overlooked the outsized rectangular block embedded on our homepage, but there’s a big development here at FIC — we have 6 new shirts available for purchase!

In a Found Item first, we’ve hooked up with a trio of accomplished apparel designers whose style we dig — Poketo, Option G and No Star Clothing — to bring you some fresh threads as the holiday season nears. Option G and No Star kinda trend towards modern icons and witty pastiches; the Poketo approach employs hand-drawn illustrations and is by nature, a bit cuter and less scripted. There are two sides to every tee, yes?

In September, an exhaustive process of trial and error a field trip to Las Vegas yielded these designs as part of a valiant effort to expand our offerings for loyal customers (that’s you…).

In all seriousness, I urge you to buy these shirts now because they won’t last I will be fired if this experiment in web retailing goes terribly astray.

Obviously, we’re fishing here for some honest feedback here. Do you like these shirts? Will you buy them? If not, why not? Do you come to FIC for movie-centric shirts, or are you open to the possibility that our brand might feature other, non-celluloid-related garments? Are you still reading this? If so, why?

For the record, I’m partial to Loose Lips and Skull Forest (viewed below).

One of our crack FIC agents — thanks, Linz! — spotted the unidentified fellow on the left at a Halloween party last month, dressed as Nigel from the 1984 cult classic Spinal Tap:

Hey kids.

In a previous post, I asked for readers out there to send us Halloween-themed pictures (ideally, you wearing our shirts as part of your costume). Sadly, I haven’t received a single submission, which means that I will be claiming the FREE T-SHIRT that I promised to the best entry.

In lieu of costumer-generated pics, let me share some of my own. The good company man that I am, I took my sartorial cues straight from The 3rd Annual Found Item Clothing Halloween Costume Guide, and lived life, for one night at least, as the character Stiles from Teen Wolf. For those that haven’t seen that fine flick in some time, here’s what I was aiming for:
