I completely understand why anyone would say that. I'm the type of person who hasn't spent more than $20 on a shirt in probably 15 years.
Although, I personally love the quality after getting my first one, these aren't designer tees. I'll be completely transparent (I know, it's a rarity in business) until I can take on inventory, the tees will come direct from the manufacturer, which means I'm paying a pretty high price. Don't be shocked when it comes with their logo on the packaging. I could have gone with a cheaper quality base brand but I checked my closet and all the tees I love are Gildan. They are good heavy quality tees that will last. They are longer than other brands, so for those of us who are a little on the bigger side (myself included) you don't have to worry about your belly showing.
Aside from the quality and single order direct shipping, the reason these tees are worth $30 is because you will be buying into the early stages of what I hope will become a movement. I started this "company" without a direction but with a clear mission:
Mission of Rogue Wanderer: To inspire people to get out and do whatever they are passionate about.
I hope that I can turn this mission into a prosperous company. If it turns out just to be something that I pour my personal money and I never recover a dime, that's fine too. As long as whatever comes of this idea inspires people to stop just going through the motions of life and explore the world around them, I'll be happy.
To share a personal story, there was a time when I would have considered a 23 episode Netflix binge, interrupted only by a few trips to my local sports bar, to be a successful weekend in my life. That all changed with one tough work meeting and one random weekend road trip. Less than 2 months since that day, I have published over 20 articles, designed half a dozen new designs (some still to come!), and planned a promotional road trip that has been picked up by two newspapers already.
I know the Shop page has been up for a while, but with this post I formally invite everyone to tell the world you're "Not Lost, Just Wandering".
