    Welcome to the Urban Profile T-shirts Weblog

    The US Postal Office has raised their rates...

    Posted by Steve on 09/07/07

    ...so, we gotta do it to.  Our previous shipping charges were $4.50 for the first t-shirt and $1.50 for each additional t-shirt.  Now, it’s $4.95 for the first t-shirt and $1.50 for each additional t-shirt (US shipping only).

    Please note, we haven’t raised our shipping charges - not once - since we went online four years ago (July, 2003).  But, the Postal Services’ fees have increased twice since we started selling t-shirts on the Internet:

    Just a few letters...

    Posted by Steve on 11/30/06

    I receive letters all the time.  And it’s fun to read and respond to them.  The two letters I’ve listed here I received back-to-back, and it pretty much represents the variety of things I receive from one extreme to the other.  I just wanted to share them.  Feel free to post your comments and thoughts.

    How To Get Into The T-shirt Business

    Category: T-shirt & Website Info.
    Posted by Steve on 10/23/06

    I’ve been receiving letters from people who want information and advice about how to sell T-shirts for sometime now.  I’ve always been flattered by these requests, because I never considered myself any kind of “expert” or “authority” on T-shirts.  I’m just a regular guy that makes and sells T-shirts for a living, that’s all.  But, I thought about it a little more, and after 12+ years and a ka-zillion T-shirts later, I guess I’ve learned a few things.  So I thought I’d share some of those things I’ve learned along the way here:


    1) Have a plan.

    “How do I get started?” “What’s the first or most important thing I should do?” A business plan, in my opinion, is crucial.  It doesn’t have to be anything formal…

    Guestbook Revisited

    Category: Customer Feedback
    Posted by Steve on 11/16/05

    Not too long after this website was launched (mid 2003), a Guestbook was added.  It provided visitors and customers an opportunity to leave comments about the T-shirts and this website.  Since UrbanProfile.com has recently been given a face-lift, the Guestbook is no longer around.  This weblog has taken its place. 

    I am hoping that as more people discover this new feature, they will take advantage of it by leaving comments, giving feedback, and participating in conversations about the various topics that are posted here.  Express yourself.

    Am I really a Pimp?

    Category: News & Views
    Posted by Steve on 11/09/05

    Back in late July of this year, Gregory Kane of Black America Web wrote an article about Black T-shirt vendors entitled: Commentary: By Selling Images of Black Victimhood, We’re Pimping Our Own Misery.  After reading the article, I immediately went into self defense mode and contacted the Black America Web editorial dept., an Atlanta radio station that responded to and discussed the story on one of their talk shows, and I left several *heated* comments on the message board where the article was published.  (Needless to say, I was pissed off.)

    At the time I learned about the story, I never heard of Mr. Kane.  After doing a little research, and reading through some of his past articles, I learned…
