A photo by Jeremy & Claire Weiss/ Day19this_mel2

For the first opening this FRIDAY (February 12th), the good folks at RVCA have helped THIS out (with the huge price tag it takes to start a place) by printing a limited edition t-shirt designed by LA based artist and THIS pal Mel Kadel.  The shirts are limited to 200, printed on White.  They are RVCA shirts so you know the quality is great. They’ll be for sale at the opening and online here.  $20. Thanks Mel!  Thanks RVCA!  Thank you for supporting THIS!
