what are people saying?
"This hemp shirt is my favorite choice for the wide range of climates I work in here in Southern California. Adan’s artistic designs are so colorful that they pop and grab the attention of anyone around. There’s something hallucinatory about all his designs, especially the ones I chose, that frequently cause me to remind people that 'my eyes are up here!' As a photojournalist, I love wearing shirts that provoke thought with inspiring messages, and Adan’s shirt hit that bullseye in the best ways!"

"Dude! I Love the shirts! I have My mind is a machine and Fuck em’s.. I absolutely Love them, they are so comfortable and feel so good on the body that I wear them at Home all the time.

"This shirt is a F@#%en a game-changer! It stands out and is super comfy. I had never worn a hemp shirt before and was skeptical, but this one is incredibly durable and keeps getting softer each time I wear it. However, it's the bold artwork that truly captivates me—and everyone else who comments on it. I love that I can literally wear my values on my sleeve. If you're looking for style with substance, this is it."
