NEW FALL DESIGNS: B'LAOW!
In time for fall 2009, the scientists at Statriot Towers have un-hatched a handful of new designs. First up, Montanka, a design by Missoula artist Andy Smetanka. Montanka is a clean, crisp snapshot of Montana's natural wonders, and it's already begun to move into the realm of the gift, for holidays 2009/2010 gift giving. Smetanka's a talent, and we're stoked-as-hell to be able to offer this shirt to the world. His previous art has included animation for musicians as diverse as Volumen, the Decemberists and Le Force, and collaborations with filmmaker Guy Maddin among othe luminaries.



Second is our third in the popular High, Wide and Handsome series, this time with the prince of the prairies, the king of the canyons, the Bison. Betty's Divine in Missoula is currently stocked with both designs, and our other retailers should have them soon. You can alway pick what you need at Statriot's Online Etsy Store.





Third up: our newest, and number two, in the Coats of Arms series, it's Jim Bridger's and John
Bozeman's rugged western dream, the gateway city to Yellowstone Nat'l Park, the Bridger Mountains, the Spanish Peaks, the Metcalf Wilderness, and the list goes on, on, on: Bozeman. The Bozeman Coat of Arms is available exclusively via Cactus Records in the Snowy City.

HIGH WIDE AND HANDSOME: TROUT
Friends, we here at Statiot Towers have gone and decided, officially that this internet deal is all-right. We've gotten ourselves well into the 20th century, and commerce can officially occur at our brand-spanking new STATRIOT STORE on the Etsy.com website. It's easy as shoe-fly pie, features a good handful of our shirts and totes, and accepts every type of payment this side of Diner's Club and the Soviet Ruble. Dang!

The Statriot Store has got our brand newest design, known in these parts as the "High, Wide and Handsome (trout)" design. We're awfully proud of it, and owe a debt of grattitude to Monsieur Twigg, whose steady hand helped this thing leap like a mighty Cutthroat right of the soft American cotton. Aahhhhhhh.
