Houston Flood Tribute T-Shirt “Hell Or High Water” by Grits Co.

This past weekend Houston experienced some truly devastating floods. The Blot’s own neighborhood was one of the hardest hit areas in the city. All of the homes around me seem to have taken in huge amounts of flood water, with many families losing everything. Thankfully, my family and I emerged from this disaster unscathed, and honestly I still don’t know how that happened. We were truly one of the lucky ones. Dedicated to all of those affected by these recent floods throughout the state of Texas, fellow Houstonian Levi of Grits Co. has decided to reprint his indie clothing brand’s previously sold out t-shirt “By Hell Or High Water”.

As Levi explained, “We didn't get Hell but we definitely got the High Water. We are sending our prayers out to all that were effected by the storms that hit Texas and the nation.” A portion of the proceeds of each “Hell Or High Water” t-shirt sold will go to the Red Cross of Houston. This heather gray t-shirt featuring Grits Co.’s mascot Roscrow is currently available for pre-order, in sizes S-XXL, at the Grits online store for $32. This design’s pre-order will end June 14th and orders will begin shipping no later than June 19th.

For its Summer 2015 T-Shirt Collection this awesome Texas based indie clothing brand has released eight new t-shirts featuring 6 different designs. Most of the tees feature Grits’ beloved mascot, Roscrow, and feature the brands signature style of retro graphics with striking typeface.

After a brief hiatus, Grits Co. is back and better than ever with an all new collection of t-shirts, raglan baseball tees, hats and even a baseball pennant! I can’t lie, The Blot is glad to see them back with some stellar new products. I’m a huge fan of the brand and their motto, “No Grits No Glory”! You can be sure that this Houston, Texas based indie clothing company has never stopped representing the southern experience in an unapologetic way. Grits Co.’s Winter 2014 Collection predominantly features the brand’s new mascot, Roscrow, in three awesome t-shirt designs. I love the way Grits combines retro graphics with striking typeface. The only problem I have is choosing which tees to order!

The Shakin' N Bakin' T-Shirt Series Pt 1 by Grits Apparel

Houston’s Grits Apparel is back with an all new series of killer t-shirt designs! The Blot’s been anxiously awaiting a new release from my buddy Levi, and his new Shankin’ N Bakin’ series has definitely proven to be well worth the wait. There’s four brand new designs, plus an all new colorway of the classic Grits Logo tee. I’m especially digging all of the different type designs Levi’s incorporated in this release.

Grits is doing something a little bit different with this release. Because Grits is doing something a little bit different with this release. Because their shirts typically sell out so quickly, they’ve decided to make each t-shirt in its Shakin’ N Bakin’ Series available for pre-order. This way you can ensure you get the designs you want in the sizes you need before production is complete.

The Shakin’ N Bakin’ T-Shirt Series Part 1 by Grits Apparel is currently available for pre-sale at the Grits online store. Each shirt retails for $30 and comes in sizes S-XXL. Initial shipments should start shipping March 20th, and keep your eyes peeled to The Blot Says for details on Part 2 of Grits’ Shakin’ N Bakin’ Series sometime soon!

The Nitty Gritty T-Shirt Series by Grits

Houston’s own Grits Apparel released its newest t-shirt collection yesterday, and The Blot loves them all! Entitled The Nitty Gritty Series, Grits’ Spring 2011 collection features 5 new designs including a collaboration with Houston based Hater Magazine entitled “Wake-N-Bake.” I think it’s safe to say it was no coincidence this collection was released on 4/20 with a design like “Wake-N-Bake” included!

What I like most about this release is that there’s a little something for everyone in it. My personal favorite is the “Grits Co.” t-shirt, which is dedicated to Goode Company BBQ, a popular local Houston restaurant. Their motto is "You might give some serious thought to thanking your lucky stars you're in Texas," and you know what? They’re right!

The Nitty Gritty Series by Grits Apparel is currently available from the Grits online store. Each shirt retails for $26 (except the "Wake-N-Bake" design which is $30) and comes in sizes XS-XXXL. Grits always stays cooking, and these tees are definitely “Fresh n' Hot Straight out the Pot!” But act quickly, because certain sizes have already begun to sell out.

Grits Apparel x Complete Clothing “Greasy Spoon” T-Shirt Release Party

On Sunday The Blot attended the H-Town Sneaker Summit and finally got to meet in person an internet friend of mine, Levi of Grits Apparel! Not only is Levi a fellow lover of art, toys and the southern lifestyle, but he also knows how to make some killer t-shirts (see more here). In fact, one of my main reasons for attending the Sneaker Summit was to get my hands on Grits’ newest design, the “Greasy Spoons” t-shirt seen below.  You can pick up one too, in black or blue, directly from the Grits online store for $25!

To celebrate Grits’ newest release, Levi will be teaming up with Austin’s Complete Clothing to throw a “Greasy Spoon” T-Shirt Release Party this Saturday, January 29th from 4pm-7pm. The event will feature Jaekim (91.7 fm KTRU's Phunkwhatchaheard/Houston) on the ones and twos and free adult beverages, all in honor of this exclusive t-shirt collaboration by Grits Apparel and Complete Clothing. All of The Blot’s Austin readers should definitely hit up this killer event, and please tell Levi hi for me.

Grits Apparel x Oven Fresh Dreams "Gritty Dreams" T-Shirt

"No Grits, No Glory" - Grits Clothing by Reuben Levi

The Blot was recently introduced to Grits, a killer new clothing line from Houston’s own Reuben Levi. It began with “Grits,” a name that reminded Levi of Houston, Texas and Southern culture in general. As Reuben tells it, the concept was simple: “No Grits No Glory.” A reminder that if you want to do something you love, you have to put your whole self into it. Hold back and you won’t. It’s that simple.

What amazes me about Levi and his line of limited edition t-shirts is the fact that they are being produced in my very own city! I hate the fact that I know of t-shirt brands from around the country, yet here’s an amazing artist doing his thing in my own backyard and I had no clue. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case, and you can now expect updates on this talented designer regularly on The Blot Says…

Grits’ awesome limited edition t-shirts can be purchased for $25 each at the Grits online store. To learn more about this growing Texas brand check out the Grits blog, follow Grits on Twitter and join the Grits Facebook page.
