I thought I’d create a post detailing the assembly of our cart display at Celebrate Local. The base is a vintage Lineberry Foundry & Furniture Company railroad cart. The story behind it states the cart came from an old furniture store near New Philadelphia, Ohio that opened in 1926. I drafted plans for a metal shelving unit to mount on top of it in Google Sketch-Up and then my dad and I welded it up. I gave it a paint job, added some detachable features and signage to round it off. Check it out…
Printed in Ohio
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at how our shirts are printed by hand. We take a lot of pride in the fact that our shirts are made in America and screened right here in Ohio, Cleveland to be exact. We go the extra mile and pay close attention to detail by removing the factory tags, printing our own neck tags and sewing hem tags onto the bottom of every shirt. In these photos you’ll see our new Devoted tee and the ladies version of our Columbus Bicentennial shirt in production.

Accessories
One of the hobbies my dad partakes in when he’s not restoring vintage motorcycles or gas pumps is sewing. Here’s a shot of him at his industrial sewing machine working to turn duck canvas into hand bags. He only works on them when it’s raining or snowing so expect these State of Devotion totes to be short runs!

Handmade Hang Tags
Earlier this summer we got a great opportunity to do a wholesale run of State of Devotion shirts for Universitees in Columbus. They were gracious enough to pick up all of our initial designs to hang in their store. To prep for it I had to make a bunch of custom hang tags by hand.
