Made in the USA Shirts

Tomorrow is the 4th Annual Cesar Chavez Day March and this year DeFrance was fortunate enough to produce some of the shirts that will be worn during the march.
Below are pics-

The shirts were printed for the San Diego Labor Council with white ink on Red 100% Cotton Union Made in the USA shirts with various sizes ranging from small - XXXL. Shirt's made in the U.S. do tend to be slightly more expensive but when comparing the quality and durability to those made elsewhere there is no comparison.

If your interested in shirts, sweatshirts or other printed apparel call or email DeFrance today!

Letterpress Antiques


Plate on a Kelsey Table Top Pess

One of the many cabinets we found full of wood type

Another shelf full of table top presses

Although Letterpress is a small portion of our business it's our history and our customers love it. Over the past 118 years DeFrance has collected dozens of presses, tools, thousands of trays and many of them full of type both wood/lead and more print related pieces.
Over the past 6 months we have been cleaning out storage finding some amazing piece's and thought sharing them would be cool. This is only a snap shot of what we have so keep an eye out for future posts.

If you have any questons about Letterpress please give us a call.
