"Saved By The Gecko" looks great with anything! And the glow is insane! It looks like a "black hole" or "retro galaxy" in the dark!
Why is it that so many "modern" shirts today can't truly recreate that much sought after, summer, retro 80's & 90's, laid back & nostalgic beach vacation feel? It's something that can be EXTREMELY HARD to put your finger on -- but Gecko gets it -- and it's how we are able to make it stand apart from anything else out there. It comes down to 2 major secret components that are a part of Gecko's DNA:
1. Using the original retro processes to recreate the apparel and paying close attention to the smallest details.
2. Using actual humans that care instead of digital machines that save money.
These are core to Gecko's DNA -- And 2 components that we believe can make or break the nostalgic vibe of a tee.
Nowadays -- even when people are trying to re-issue old, retro tees, they completely miss the mark -- and you can tell that the tee "has no soul." They don't realize that in order to fully bring back that feeling, it starts with the original PROCESS -- which (in our case) uses REAL PEOPLE -- as you can't get the same look and feel using a computer graphic and digital printer. It takes REAL HUMANS to make sure the details are on point. And real humans means skilled labor, which costs money -- and unfortunately, most companies are only thinking about the bottom line -- and not the end experience the product is going to have on the customer.
Gecko's theory is that with REAL HUMANS working on each piece of the artistic process, from splattering, to mixing ink colors, to analog printing, to labeling, -- the creator of each part of the process shares a little bit of their soul and care with the apparel they are creating. In our opinion, this creates a far superior, happier-feeling, more nostalgic and authentic 1980's & 90's experience -- which can't be duplicated by a simple "print on demand," automated production.
