I would buy Frederick Douglass jeans in a red hot second. WB On Feb 3, 2017 10:15 PM, "Starchild" <sfdreamer@earthlink.net> wrote:

I can't stand women's t-shirts- always too short and too tight
That's what comes from being busty Caryn Ann, lol! But some women, and girls, are differently figured, or do like tight tops. I think having garments explicitly identified as women's sends an inclusive, welcoming message and therefore it's a good idea to offer some, even if they prove less popular among women than "standard-issue" t-shirts. Male Libertarians like myself might end up buying them too, you never know! ;-)
For me personally, the biggest deterrent to buying our clothing items has simply been that they are generally not funky and cool enough for me to want to wear them. I would love to see us offer a more unique/alternative range of clothing/fashion items like those depicted below, with tastefully added libertarian messaging or logos.
If you want to buy a t-shirt with a pro-freedom political message or logo, you've got a million options. But if you want to buy a furry angora sweater, or a faux leather harness, or a corset, or a stylish pair of jeans, or some chic footwear, that's got a pro-freedom political message or logo, your choices are *significantly* more limited. I suspect there is a market out there that is waiting to be tapped.

These fuzzy sweaters would look cool with the image of a porcupine or Statue of Liberty dyed in different color on the back.
Imagine the word "Libertarian" in a fancy, cursive font along the side of these heels. For that matter, how about a whole line of "Don't Tread On Anyone" footwear, in different styles such as hiking boots, sandals, etc., with raised or imprinted rubber on the soles, such as on the sandals shown above, to leave pro-freedom messages when walking in sand, mud, etc.? This gorgeous item could look extra cool/edgy with some subtle black vertical lettering added along the seams with a message like "Power to the People, Not the Government!"
I can easily imagine a wallet or purse with hip-hop type lettering like this reading simply "LP" and then in a smaller font on the bottom or reverse, "Minimum Government, Maximum Freedom"
A harness like this imprinted with small actual text from a book like Peter McWilliams "Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do" would be a truly unique item that I'll bet somebody would want.
Instead of "CUPCAKE CLIQUE", what about "FREEDOM CLIQUE" with the LP logo on top?
Some jeans like these would look awesome with a washed-out image of Frederick Douglass's face on them and his quote, "The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Something like this would obviously be a pricey, high-end item, but imagine a sexy punked-out garment like this with a stylized piece of art on the back reading, "Part of the Rebel Alliance and a Traitor", or "Challenging the Cult of the Omnipotent State", with "Libertarian Party" in smaller lettering at the bottom. I'd wear it in a heartbeat. :-)
Simple stitch-up leggings like these are surprisingly uncommon, and would be even more of a find with a distinctive Libertarian Party label on the back seat.

Women are equal to men and therefore should have access to the same clothing sizes as men. The LP doesn't believe in the separate but equal doctrine, even in clothing.

It was mentioned to me today that we don't carry any women's clothing, or offer our give-away t-shirts in women's styles. I'm aware that an LP event is the only place (outside of an adult establishment) where the line is at the men's room (and not only when our chair is in there with Sen. Paul), but still, would it be feasible to offer some women's clothing?
