1st Edition Red Eyed And Lifted Shirts - Running Through The City



Red Eyed And Lifted LLC has just rolled out our first batch of official men’s and women’s shirts. Working with Puffin Screen Printing in Tucson, Arizona we have tee shirts, tank tops, and girl’s tanks. After some deliberation it was decided that our first R.E.A.L. shirts would be our Running Through The City / Runman design. The decision was made in part because of how much we liked the design, but also because soon these shirts will literally be running through the city. Since this was our first experience ordering shirts we worked closely with the print shop Puffin Printing. We weren't entirely sure what style or bands we wanted and after speaking with the Puffin crew we landed on Next Level and American Apparel brands and could not be happier. 

The girl’s shirts are American Apparel. They’re the perfect combination of style and comfort. We chose to go with American Apparel because of their notoriety and superior quality. While looking into our preliminary order we wanted to make sure we got something everyone could enjoy. These shirts were purchased entirely with you in mind and we hope that it shows.

Our men’s shirts took some decision making too. While the industry norm for t-shirts is generally Gildan we wanted to make sure these shirts fit good and felt great. In our personal experience we had some reservations about the brand and wanted to see some alternatives. Thankfully the team at Puffin Printing was very helpful and emphatically suggested Next Level Apparel above everything else. We’re very grateful for their advice and could not be happier with the shirt quality. They fit tight without being too snug and hang a little loose without looking like a dress. The material is also very soft and great for lounging around or going out.
Since we’re based in Mesa, Arizona we know how warm things get and wanted to have an option for anyone looking for a sleeveless shirt. The Running Through The City, Runman tank tops we got are great for hanging out by the pool, going out on a hike, or hitting the town. We know how annoying tags can be too so we were sold when we found out these tags were tearaways. You don’t have to worry about damaging your tank top by removing the tag or have to look for scissors and get as close to the base as you can.


We're excited to finally be producing shirts and other apparel options and hope you check out our current product line. As an aspiring clothing company we are not in stores yet but you can browse our shop on our website or by visiting us on Big Cartel.
