My new company-Kelp Clothing
 

Inspired by the lack of apparel that reflects the style and images directly related to us here in So Cal I decided to start my own t shirt line. The logo and all the images are my own artwork. I just want to put something out there that reflects what we're in to.


I only have 3 shirt designs and a hat right now but there's more to come. I plan on doing everything from spotties to threshers. White seabass and women's tanks are next in line.


The images are all printed on AAA shirts and run from small to XXXL. The hats are Flexfit's and come in S/M and L/XL.

I've stood side by side with some of you at about a dozen of the MLPA meetings and watched the whole scam unfold before our eyes in disgust. Until now I've only been able to donate my time, letters, and a few bucks. The meetings are over, but the fight is not. I made a line of limited edition (olive green) t shirts where 100% of all proceeds will go to the Ocean Access Protection Fund. There are only 30 of these shirts in sizes L-XXL and if they all sell I'll be able to write a check for $600 to go towards the fight to protect our resources.

looks like i found the tattoo artist i've been looking for

I gotta tell you , this is an amazing concept!!!!!!! I have been trying to pitch a few of these ideas out to some investors over the years, but they arent creative enough to see the picture...The problem i have found in our scene is a lack of inshore species ect..there is so much coverage and designs available for Tuna, Sails, ect...but you have now taken care of that......THANK YOU!

i tried to get one of my sponsors (BUFF) even interested in a special So-Cal line with an exclusive "White Sea Bass UV Buff" decked out with an iridescent purple scale pattern and stripes reminiscent of ol' Mrs. Croaker..guess no ears are :bigear:....

I cant wait to order up some of your gear!!.......
shit, maybe even finish off my Japanese body suit soon?...:cheers1:
MORE EMBROIDERED BISCUIT HOODYS!!!!!!!!!!:wsb::wsb::wsb::wsb:

I'll get a hat and shirt as soon as I have some 'fishing moneys available. Are you planning on making any visors or long sleeve shirts? I agree 100% with Wade regarding the inshore species clothing.

P.S.
awesome artwork!!

The artwork on those Checkers is awesome! I would be proud to wear one of these shirts

love your concept.

This is sweet!

Sick! Already placed my first order. Was quick & painless. Hat and shirt came quick. Stuff looks awesome! Thanks Charles :cheers1:

P.S. I agree with Wade. How 'bout a nice cozy WSB hoodie for searching for the wee hours ghosts :wsb::wsb::wsb:

X3!

Wore my yellowtail shirt with pride this weekend Charles,
(Now I just have to go catch one)

Everything looks awesome and big thanks for the donation to help fight the fight...
I got my Limited addition Calico shirt, and will be telling everyone the story behind it!

Good luck with the new business
with your talent and passion, it predict a huge success!
:cheers1:

Charles,

I need hats! next time you are down my way bring a dozen, I may need a refill on shirts too!

I am bringing a few of these on Saturday to the Wounded Warriors event to give to some of the stand out volunteers

http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwegall...0/IMG_3598.jpg

I will make this a sticky if it falls to the bottom of the page :luxhello:

So that's where the ltd. edition sheephead shirt with the print on the front went! Doh!!!

You got it Andy. I'll drop some hats off next week.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and support!!! :cheers1:

Awesome looking gear, if I dont luck out and get one from Andy at the WW event, I think I'll just stop by oex and get some on sat.

There were 2 in the bunch :D

BTW price on the shirts is $17.95 +tax at OEX Sunset Beach

Any at Mission Beach?

Dang Andy did you have those Sunday? If you did I must have been distracted by all the " tourist" will have to stop by this weekend.
Thanks Charles, :cheers1:.

Charles, I like!!!! :cheers1:

Both XXL's, right? I only made 6 shirts outta the whole batch like that :doh:

Cool shirts. Just placed my order.

Let me know if you want to swap em, I'll put em away.

Love it. What about some sun shirts for H20? Print them up on a rash guard. Like the hat, I am gonna pick one up!:luxhello:

Yeah, hang on to 'em for me please. I'll swing by next Monday.


I'll be doing long sleeves, hoodies, and I'm looking into getting some of those breathable long sleeve UV protectant shirts as well. I'll do my best to get the seabass shirts done before the end of August.

The support has been overwhelming guys. Thanks again!!

I have never been a tattoo fan but I think the shirts and hats are excellent artistically. Make some in Hawaiian shirt styles and I am ready to order.

My skill set is in the marketing and business realm. From that prospective I think you may have hit on a very good way to leverage your artistic talents. Maybe you are the next Tommy Bahama and we can all say that we knew you when you were just getting started.

Best of luck.


Bob

Quick service. I ordered my shirts yesterday and they came today. Good Looking Shirts. Thank You

If you guys like his clothing artwork, you should check out his fish tattoos on his website posted on his tag line. When you get to the site, click on Tattoos on the top of the page then select Fish Tattoos. I would not put my fingers anywhere near the mouths of his Sheepshead tattoos.

Got my calico shirt today. Really nice shirt and art work. Thanks.

Got my LTD shirt today. F***ing sweet design. I need to stop in and talk to you about a tattoo ive been dreamin of.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j2.../goatfinal.jpg

Agree all around here, killer artwork, this is our favorite, Clay wants one and now I do as well...:cheers1::you_rock:

You da man Charles...I think Clay is a bit too excited about this design...

Thanks Martin! Gabe's got one for Clay next time you see him.


Spottie shirts are being printed as I type this and should be available on the site some time this week. I'll let you guys know.

Also check out Kelp angler Denek of Team Low Budget sporting the gear while holding up a toad Calico in the new issue of PCS. He said there's no way he would've landed that fish if it wasn't for the shirt and hat :sifone:

Shirts
 

I will pick up one of each! Nice artwork!

Where/how does one order/purchase a shirt? And I saw someons say something about a yellow tail version?

Charles, just curious....do you happen to know someone with the last name Havlu? One of our drivers showed me a cell picture of someone that had a tattoo identical to the one on your profile.

<HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=1>"I will pick up one of each! Nice artwork!"

Thank you!


You can order shirts and hats at www.kelpclothing.com.

The 1st shirt I did has an image of yt's on it. It's more of a tattoo style though and looks different from the rest of the shirts.

\

Don't know his last name but I think his 1st name was Dave. Big tall white guy.

It's a Guy Harvey yellowfin, I just added the water.

Check it out! Spotted Sand Fish tees now available at www.kelpclothing.com in sizes S-3X

Lots more in the works. Beanies, buffs, long sleeves, and new species coming soon....

Charles- I saw Brian rocking this shirt at the SWBA Championships on Saturday, pretty f-ing sick! I'm gonna have to buy one for sure. Is anyone down in the SD area carrying those Charles?

TL-Moyer

Maybe Siebler can pick them up from OEX SB if you ask

I won myself a Spotted Sand Bass shirt at the SWBA viewing and couldn't be happier, these are some quality tees. Any chance you'll print up some more Calico shirts with non colored Calicos (white) like the limited edition shirts?

Count me in on long sleeves!!!!!
