Catalog came in the mail today, I thumbed through it and found the Nuke and Pave shirt.
Been around a LONG time to still be featured in the catalog. I wonder how many folks out there own one who have no clue/don't give a fuck who we are.

Pardon my stupid, but I have no idea what this is that you are talking about but I am quite intrigued. Pleas explain/link so that I know stuff too.

These people make some of the best riding gear on the planet, really. It's pricey, and totally worth it.

They also have a good sense of humor.

I still need to get one of those, I'm full on in favor of nuking and paving.

My Nuke & Pave shirt, bought at the Factory, led me to surf this Electronic Wharf of Debauchery.
Huzzah.

WAFS, did you get the little supplemental catalog? Has a cool "plate flip" mechanism in it. Don't think it's in the on-line catalog.

I got a paper catalog, but didn't see a plate flip. Did see a flip down, behind the plate stash box, though... Looks pretty neat!

I've probably told this story a dozen times, but I'll tell it again.
I was at Laguna Seca in 2005 and saw the bomb&bars logo on somebody's back (the Nuke and Pave shirt has a small one up near the neck). I grabbed this guy and said "Hey, I AM RABBIT FIGHTER!", to which he replied, "um . . . I am Steve?" He looked kind of freaked out, but when I started talking about his shirt, he just mumbled something about the Aerostich catalog and did his best to move along.

I just saw this flipping through my dad's catalog while visiting for the holidays and was quite suprised. I must have missed this thread before. What's the story? Did the ootmik who did the original design sell it to Aerostich? Or how else did it end up there?
I was quite surprised to see it there, among all the doodads and fancy whatsits!

Long story short. His Beemerness had the rights to the shirt with a previous group and Aerostich sold them then. Oddly enough, I had pulled our my "Nuke and Pave" shirt this morning and am wearing it, but it has a different logo on the back. Yep, I'm THAT fucking old.

They almost had me print it on the shirt, but once the realized that Aerostitch has one as well decided against it.

here's a photo from Vansons showroom
and there's the one I ended up printing on the back of the tees they brought to Indy designed by Kevin Nixon.
Charcoal color shirt with either off white or dark charcoal print, they could not decide which they like better so we ran both. Can't seem to find mine, but I only have to dig through few hundred...
