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.





I'd like to thank everyone who supported and encouraged me to do this.

You can see more info on the merch at www.kelpclothing.com and make orders via paypal. Also available for purchase at OEX Sunset Beach.

Thanks for your support!

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 ....

I cant wait to order up some of your gear!!.......
shit, maybe even finish off my Japanese body suit soon?...

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!!

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



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

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, .
