Tee Rex, T-shirts Not Dinosaurs

teerexAn added bonus to the First Friday’s on Penn Ave and the GA/GI festival is the Cotton Factory Studio Sale!

Calling all t-shirt lovers! The Cotton Factory is a nifty little website that has been selling t-shirts online for awhile now.  Their shirt designs have gained praise and fame from the t-shirt community and few people know that The Cotton Factory has recently located their headquarters to Friendship.  Check out this great post from the Pittsburgh blog Steel Town Anthem with lots of photos from The Cotton Factory’s headquarters. All of The Cotton Factory t-shirts are designed and printed here in Pittsburgh.

The Cotton Factory created some wonderful t-shirts in honor of the Parking Chair after the big snow in February.
