Does anyone know of a source for hoodies with culturally Irish iconography or references that doesn't suck like a Patty's day bobblehead from amazon?! 🤷‍♂️

I feel like there is a MASSIVE opportunity for someone to hang a shingle and claim this entire sector of the market.

In fullest honesty, if @Ciaraioch made a hoodie like this, I'd likely pre-order it sight unseen and not regret it for a moment.

(Extra massive bonus points if we could yeet any refs to the US entirely. Please and thank you. 😅)

@MadSc13ntist Love the idea, I'm a bit fussy about things being made sustainably and ethically and to do that with a one-person business for clothing is difficult - maybe could team up with someone eventually, but at the moment just a pipe-dream!

@Ciaraioch is there a threshold of sustainability that we could aim for? Is anyone else out there meeting a standard that you would find acceptable?

"Not really" is fully valid, and on a planet drowning in plastic fast fashion I agree that we should be finding more sustainable options for clothes.

All of this said, could items be made as close to the mark as possible and carry an extra fee for a related (underfunded) org?

I appreciate that you sound like you've genuinely sat with this a bit.

@Ciaraioch it's a damn shame I can just launder a hoodie I already own and send it in to get printed. 🤷‍♂️

@Ciaraioch @MadSc13ntist dála an scéil, bheadh suim mhór agam a leithéid a cheannach freisin. LDT 🙏
