New swag and lots of restocking done!

View fullsize

A tremendous amount of re-ordering and re-stocking is underway! We've had a tremendous demand recently, and that's awesome! In response, we've been hard at work getting everything restocked, and hopefully expanded so we stop running out of everything so fast. 

Some updates!

• Shirts of all sizes are back in
• For the first time, we are now carrying green, brown, grey and black T-shirts of both the tri-doug and doug flag
• Cascadia Belt Buckles are back in
• We are still waiting on our new order of Nylon flags. Flags were supposed to be in by the end of September, but obviously that time frame has come and gone. Updates will be posted as we get them
• Our first order of awesome Cascadia beanies are on the way! They're awesome - USA/Cascadia made
• Our first order of awesome Cascadia trucker hats are on the way! They're awesome - USA/Cascadia made
• Our first order of 12x18 Cascadia nylon flags (USA/Cascadia made) has arrived - but the green on the tree is really dull and doesn't stand out so we're trying to figure out if we will sell them at a discount or see if we can return them.

The Washington State Flag Sucks (Go Cascadia!) | Fun article in the Seattle Weekly

Cascadia got a nice mention today in a fun article on the history of the King County and Washington State Flags giving a thorough critique, but noting:

"The Cascadian flag, meanwhile, was designed by Portlander Alexander Baretich in 1994 to represent the “Cascadian Bioregion”: British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. For some, Cascadia is ripe for secession from the U.S., as outlined in Ernest Callenbach’s admirably goofy 1975 classic Ecotopia. But for Baretich, the flag and the concept of “Cascadia” represents something much simpler. “What this is really all about is decolonizing the imperialism that has been put into our brains,” Baretich said in an interview with The Portland Radicle. “Decolonization is something that we need to do on a personal level and on a paradigm-shift level.”

and concluding:

"Anything would be better than our current flag, the Cascadian flag is just one example of the power a symbol can have on the collective consciousness of a place. When you put a tree on a flag instead of a slave owner, suddenly people want to talk about the environment and equity instead of money and power. It’s a lesson our state could take to heart."
