🇨🇦 Printed in Canada
Another fun one shipped out of the shop this week. 🍄
We printed merch for the Bamfield Fungus Festival, happening September 25–26 in Bamfield, BC.
Their designs landed on our Canada Sportswear Corp. 24/7 hoodies and long sleeves, plus some seriously substantial die-cut stickers. We love a client who isn’t afraid of a big sticker.
The festival is entirely volunteer-run and celebrates the ecological importance and incredible diversity of fungi through walks, talks, workshops and events with expert mycologists.
A very Vancouver Island project — and a fun one to print.

NEW TO THE GARMENT LINEUP
We’re always keeping an eye out for garments we think are worth adding to the mix. Good quality, great to print on, something we’d actually want to wear — and where and how it’s made matters too.
A few new ones have made the cut.
Take a look →
THE QUARTER-ZIP HAS ENTERED THE CHAT.
A little more polished than a sweatshirt, without getting all corporate about it.
Part of Canada Sportswear’s 24/7 collection 🇨🇦, the Flux is made from soft, midweight cotton-rich fleece with a 100% cotton print surface that works beautifully with our DTG printing.
13 colours · XS–3XL · OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
24/7 FORGE HEAVYWEIGHT HOODIE
BASICALLY A WEIGHTED BLANKET YOU CAN WEAR.
This one is for people who take their hoodies seriously.
Part of Canada Sportswear’s 24/7 collection 🇨🇦, the Forge is seriously heavyweight, with a relaxed oversized fit, dropped shoulders and a 100% cotton print surface that prints beautifully.
8 colours · XS–3XL · OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
24/7 HORIZON GARMENT-DYED TEE
THE COLOURS ARE BASICALLY MADE FOR FALL. 🍂
Another new one from Canada Sportswear’s 24/7 collection. 🇨🇦
The Horizon is 100% cotton and garment-dyed for that soft, lived-in look — and the colour range is ridiculously good.
20 colours · XS–3XL · OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
Picking one might be the hardest part.
JERICO ORGANIC OVERSIZED TEE
THE OVERSIZED TEE. WE LOVE THIS TREND.
Jerico’s 100% organic cotton tee is properly cut oversized — wider through the body, dropped shoulders and slightly longer sleeves — rather than just being a regular tee sized up.
The 190 gsm midweight cotton gives it enough structure to hang beautifully while still feeling soft and comfortable.
Made in Canada · 100% organic cotton · 190 gsm · GOTS certified.
This one we’re very happy to have in the lineup.

Fresh print for LOAF oceanside
24/7 tees in ivory featuring a great design by , plus business cards printed on 13pt Enviro uncoated stock with rounded corners.
We love everything these guys send our way.
And if you haven’t checked out Loaf’s new bakery in Parksville yet, you know what to do.

One of the perks of this job? We get introduced to some seriously cool Canadian businesses.
Like Michalina | Perennial Vegetable Seeds. 🌱
They’re based in Errington, right here on Vancouver Island, where they grow seeds on their small farm — including perennial vegetables and all kinds of unusual edibles we had no idea existed.
And they know how to pick good merch.
We printed their very cool Cicada logo on sage green Comfort Colors tees, and honestly, the colour with that logo is SO good.
Then there are the trucker hat. Classic shape, great colour combo. They nailed those too.
We’ve always believed in supporting Canadian small businesses. And with more of us making a point of looking closer to home before we buy, there are a whole lot of great Canadian businesses worth discovering.
Michalina | Perennial Vegetable Seeds is one of them.
Go check them out. Fair warning: you may end up wanting to grow vegetables you didn’t know existed.

The T-shirts are keeping it classy. The stickers have other plans. 👀
We printed this merch collection for HighGuide, from the makers of BudSense — a Saskatchewan-based company.
HighGuide is a tool built for budtenders, helping them navigate thousands of cannabis products and make better recommendations for their customers.
For the tees, they chose Canadian-made organic cotton shirts from Jerico Clothing , printed using direct-to-garment printing with water-based, certified non-toxic inks. Simple HighGuide logo on the front and they look SO good.
And then there are the stickers. 🌈
A whole series of colourful custom shape stickers with easy-peel backing, printed on weather-resistant vinyl using GREENGUARD Gold Certified UV inks. We love these little guys.
A Saskatchewan company. Canadian-made tees. Printed on Vancouver Island. We like how that adds up. 🇨🇦
Merch for the people.
Municipal elections are coming up in communities across BC — and things are getting busy in the shop.
We’ve been getting lots of calls for campaign signs, sandwich boards, flyers, buttons and other election materials.
Here in Qualicum Beach, we’ve been working with Mischa Oak Oak on his campaign for Qualicum Beach Council — from lawn signs and sandwich boards to flyers, buttons and more.
Campaign design + art direction by our own Liz Parsons.
And this one is personal for us. We know Mischa, we’ve seen how much he cares about this community, and we love what he stands for. We’re very happy to see him putting his name forward for Qualicum Beach Council.
Local elections matter. Wherever you live, get to know the people putting their names forward — and get out and vote.
Good luck, Mischa. We’re cheering you on. 🗳️

These designs might actually inspire us to lift something heavy. Almost. 💪
We always love seeing what Wild + United Athletics sends our way, and this new merch lineup was no exception.
Wild + United has built a gym around community, inclusivity and making people feel welcome. We love what this gym stands for.
For their latest collection, we printed Comfort Colors tees and crewnecks using direct-to-garment printing with water-based, certified non-toxic inks.
And can we talk about this artwork? We love all the designs they send us, but this new one by Caribou Creative™ is SO GOOD.
Great artwork. Great garments. Great people.

Tiny stickers!
Which, for some reason, makes them approximately 47% more delightful.
We printed these little die-cut beauties for Ukee Poke in Ucluelet.
They’re printed using UV technology, so there’s no need for an extra plastic laminate layer. Durable, water-resistant and ready for the general abuse stickers tend to encounter.
Less plastic. Great durability. Very satisfying tiny stickers.
And now we want poke. 🍣

North Coast spooky surf rock? Yes please. 👀🎸
Our friends at HIGHBUSH CARIBOU sent us some new artwork to put on tees.
We printed these on our M&O Garment-Dyed Tees in Ivory and Pepper—100% cotton, soft, with that already-broken-in feel that makes a band tee feel like a band tee.
Printed using direct-to-garment printing with water-based, certified non-toxic inks. And the colours on this one came out so good.
Highbush Caribou’s debut record HOLY SMOKES is out now. Go give it a listen.

LITTLE THINGS MAKE YOU HAPPY. 💛
And these kids shirts definitely qualify.
We’ve been lucky to work with Thao Nguyen of Thao Nguyen 🌱🇻🇳🇨🇦 for a while now, bringing her beautiful watercolor illustrations from paper to merch.
Thao is a Vancouver Island watercolor artist whose work is inspired by nature, island life and the everyday moments she shares with her family. Her motto — “Little things make you happy” — runs through everything she creates.
Her illustrations are printed on toddler and youth Rabbit Skins tees using direct-to-garment printing and water-based, non-toxic inks. The ink absorbs right into the fabric rather than sitting heavily on top, helping all those delicate details and soft colours in her original paintings shine through.
Thao stopped by the shop to pick up her latest batch, so we grabbed a few shots of the artist with her merch. ❤️
Check out more of Thao’s work at and find her at QB Farmers Market and other events around the island.
Beautiful art makes beautiful merch.
