Shirts and caps from the shop that sells the panels. Printed in small runs on blanks we sampled first, tagged with our own woven label. Our crew wears these on jobs, so they are built for that and not for a shelf.
The cap our crew wears on the roof. APE SOLAR is stitched on the front and Ready for Anything runs across the back, right above the strap. Dark grey, stitched in white and orange. It's a dad cap, so the crown is soft and sits low on your head. Cotton twill, a pre-curved bill, and a brass buckle in the back. One size, and the strap tucks away once you've set it. When a color is gone, it's gone until the next run.
Gerry's got one foot up on the toolbox and a ground mount behind him, and the captain sitting next to him has an opinion about the size of it. Big Array Energy runs across the bottom. It's printed on the back, so the person behind you in line at the hardware store gets to read it. Drawn by our artist Marvis Quinn, who nailed the vision. He put more energy into that scene than we put into some permit packets. More of his pieces are coming soon. The colors hit hardest on black. White lettering. The front stays quiet: a small Ape Solar logo on the left chest. For the record, the array behind him is a ground mount. That's how you go big when the roof runs out of room. Between sizes, go up. When a size is gone, it's gone until the next run.
Ready for Anything runs straight down the spine, one letter at a time. The front keeps it simple: a small Ape Solar logo on the left chest. Ecru, lettered in orange with a blue FOR. It's the same curved-hem tee as Big Array Energy, for the days you want the motto without the art. Between sizes, go up. When a size is gone, it's gone until the next run.
Every piece is sampled before we order the run and made in small batches in Florida. The shirts carry our own woven tag on the hem.
Ape Solar is a Made By Apes licensed business, #00517-1-03155. Gerry is ours, the swamp is ours, and so is the shirt.
