Right Side Supply Co. started for a pretty simple reason: I wanted shirts I’d actually wear.
As a bigger guy, I've always found it ridiculously hard to find funny, patriotic shirts that fit well, look good, and don't feel like they're made out of cheap material. And when you finally find something in your size, half the time the design looks like every other shirt on the internet. I figured instead of complaining about it, why not start making my own?
The name Right Side Supply Co. came from wanting something that could sound patriotic without beating you over the head with it. Take "Right Side" however you want. The right side of an argument, the right side of the country, the right way to live, or literally just the right side. There's a little bit of a double meaning there on purpose.
At the end of the day, this brand isn't supposed to be complicated. It's for everyday people just living their lives. People who work, raise families, laugh at inappropriate jokes, love their country, enjoy their freedoms, and don't feel the need to apologize for every opinion they have.
Some of our designs are patriotic. Some are funny. Some are sarcastic. Some might offend somebody. That's okay. Another person's opinion shouldn't automatically be offensive just because it's different from yours. We can disagree, laugh about it, grab a beer, and somehow the world will keep spinning. There are obviously lines when something becomes immoral or unethical, but simply having a different point of view shouldn't be one of them.
Right Side Supply Co. is a small Texas business based in Orchard, Texas, good ole' O-Town. Right now, it's a one-man operation. I handle the designs, website, marketing, sales, and everything else that happens behind the scenes. That means this isn't some giant apparel company pretending to be a small-town brand. There's an actual person on the other side of it.
One part of Right Side Supply that means a little more to me personally is the FU Cancer collection. It started while thinking about my late Uncle Tom, who passed away from pancreatic cancer. What started as one design turned into something bigger and eventually became a way to use this little business to help raise money for a cause that matters. Sometimes a T-shirt can just be funny. Sometimes it can mean something too.
And while Right Side Supply isn't meant to take itself too seriously, there are a few things I do take seriously:
God. Family. Country.
That's the foundation.
Right Side Supply Co. is for people who still believe in those things, who aren't afraid to be themselves, and who understand that having a sense of humor and having strong values aren't mutually exclusive.
Proud roots. Honest work. A little attitude.
Welcome to the Right Side.
