Obviously, buying gear is a cool way to support our local spots! Who is making cool shirts and other fun stuff in LA these days?
I personally recommend this Hail Mary tee.

Once upon a time Lasa had a really cool shirt based on restaurant shirts in Manila. I think Kumquat Coffee (which is really a delight) also has some really good stuff.
Anybody have favorites? (also, usual apologies if this is in the wrong section.)
great topic.

Oo that’s a great link. I’m gonna have to buy a la morra shirt. Their team has such good style that I’ll get cooler just by association ha.
Lol the cat is too good
See this is why I made this thread. I was at prd on Friday picking up some of that stupidly good chicken and I didn’t even know this shirt existed. (Hope it ain’t sold out.)
I bought a whole bunch of merch in the early pandemic. Might be time to go on another spree…
Some of my local faves are from:
Kumquat, Kindness & Mischief, GGET, The Hermosillo, Highland Park Brewing, Cellador, Woon, and Bub & Grandma
Also got stuff from out of town spots I like:
Eem (Portland), Cafe du Monde (NOLA), Josey Baker Bread (SF)
Got my eye on some of that Hail Mary, Angry Egrette, Langer’s, and Cafe Santo gear next…
Model’s gut is not big enough to be me 
Merch4relief is a great shirt company representing a lot of restaurants throughout the country! 100% of the profits go back to the restaurant. Keep in mind shipping may take a while because they wait until they get a certain amount of orders for that specific shirt before going into production, but they have really neat designs.
Sad to see that a few of the Merch4Relief restaurants have closed. RIP Maam Sir and HLAY
anyone know any graphic designers? I’m looking to make some t-shirts. Sorry this is off-topic.
Eater put this list together in December
Lol what kinda animal is that on the front? I might have to pick one of these up
