It Goes to 11 — group costumes

Hi friends. We’ve refreshed our annual Halloween project. New for this year are 4 costumes developed around characters from the reel world (that is to say, film). Included amongst them are Goose (Top Gun), Ricky Vaughn (Major League), and Sam Bell (Moon). We also have one group ensemble inspired by the teen queens from 1989’s Heathers.

As you’ll see, some of the entrants are particularly spot-on and painstakingly accurate. Which, on that note, reminds me: if you have pics you’d like to contribute, message me at travis@founditemclothing.com and I’ll post them in this space. (For...

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 customer-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...
