The teasing is over. The new A&J line of clothing (AKA, tee shirts) is in production and almost ready for unveiling. I hope it can go on sale early next week, the first of December. Until then, you can help us. I know I have asked you to speculate about this sort of thing in the past, but it isn’t speculation now. It’s happening. If you think you might be interested in owning a shirt, let us know. I’ll tell you how in a moment, but first you’ll want to know something about the shirts.
The shirts are being printed in a ridiculously humble shop in north Mississippi. Artisans screen print each one by hand. I designed the artwork and have been involved personally in preproduction. There are two designs: one based upon the iconic arloandjanis.com car logo and another based on Ludwig, the cat. (I was there when they began to roll off; I think they look good.) Each will be available in two styles: short or long sleeve. The car-shirt colors are: natural, sport grey, military green, charcoal grey and Carolina blue. The cat-shirt colors are: sand, black, pink, red and gold. For today, use your imagination. I know there is more to consider, but I’m trying to keep this short. I’ll deliver specifics as Thanksgiving week evolves. Right now, it will benefit all of us, including customers, if you can help gauge demand. You would not be ordering! You would not be committing to anything, and (ahem) neither would we. There’s no money involved! We just hope you will help us establish a rough idea of what’s ahead, especially with Christmas so near.
I know you haven’t actually seen the shirt. I haven’t discussed price. If you want to wait a day or so for the full details to write, that’s fine. But we’re friends here, and if you’re pretty sure you might want shirts, go to the top of this page and hit the “email” link and drop us a line, or just comment below—but not both, please. Tell us what sounds good to you. Include sizes if possible. Really, folks! This is a seriously local operation. Thank you! — JJ

One of each XL long sleeve and one of each XL short sleeve.
No telling where I will be weatherwise. Jackie Monies
Thanks, Mark/TT.
Hope Steve & family live many safe years in the new abode! {But do recheck your Latin.} The packing/unpacking is the major reason we haven’t moved and won’t unless medically necessary.
Steve has a house. We have tee shirts. And Christmas is still 30 days away.
I just turned house into giant closet and giving away van loads. I just told my new minion to take her choices of my scarves and accessories before calling my daughters should I pass away. I could not face moving.
Incognito days postponed ’til tomorrow.
JJ: When I wrote your email address, didn’t mention sleeves. Short: mostly wear them days I go to the gym, + in summer.
Peace, emb
Debbe 😉 Not Rock. Not classic. But in all fairness, it does help white people dance.

RIP, Little Jimmy Dickens.
JJ, depending on the price I’ll want definitely want one each of car & Luddie in short sleeves in XXL, maybe a matching set in XL for a total of 4 tees.
Regarding the classic, I wonder how many of us would have been happier with our mowers and such if we’d only been taught to drain the fuel each year before stowing them away?
Most likely xxl short sleeve charcoal long tail logo
probably a Ludwig short sleeve – color to be determined.

TIP is Paraprosdokians today.
The way some customers treat their mowers they might as well dump them off
a cliff. Every year
Here’s a fun Christmas advert from the UK:

Very interested…

Long sleeve Car gray
Good morning Jimmy
You said the T shirts are 100 percent cotton…..are they pre-shrunk?
Count me in for a Ludwig, in black, long sleeve, medium size please
When I clicked on the company’s page, and then clicked on the size chart, it did not come in clear, it almost looked like Chinese or something.
Thank you.
Good morning Villagers…..
Hope Indy Mindy pops in to see the new post is up, as I’m sure she’ll want a Luddie too.
We get a Christmas bonus each year, and that should cover the T shirt and my hair cut….
OH, and Jimmy, is Ludwig still going to be purple?
Ya’ll have a blessed day………..
GR 😉 let’s go back….way back
