I ordered two of these t-shirts. One is for my daughter and one is for her husband. They are a cute little couple who like to look like Mutt and Jeff when they go out. There are currently living in the Baha and I talked to them last week and they asked for a care package. Immediately I thought of Mountain. I have purchased 3 other t-shirts from them and they were great. Since it is difficult to get cool things of American quality, never mind American humor standards, when you are living in Mexico, I decided this shirt was just the one.
The kids are acting missionaries and like to blend in with the culture most of the time, but now and then, they like to make an American Statment and this Mountain t-shirt is just about as American as you can get. Then again, it too has its bi-cultural side, since it is "Made in America" but assembled in "Mexico."
I love the way Mountain puts its shirts together. The are 100% cotton and it is THICK cotton, not some wimpy stuff. The frog logo on this one is done in georgeous colors that seem to jump off the front of the shirt. The photo cannot do justice to the real colors. They are SO vibrant. The stone washed portion of the shirt is well mottled and is very nice looking also.
The frog appears to be silk screened into the fabric. It is certainly not like the rubbery logos that I have seen previously which just beg to get into the washer so they can start to flake and peal apart. This frog will be on the front of this shirt for a long time ad will live through many, many washings without damage.
Of course, the real reason I bought this shirt was the little peace sign the frog is making. It looks like his little hand will come right off the fabric so that he can shake hands with you. It is very realistic. Just the right statement for two missionary kids: "Hi there, let's get to know one another." It will be a great conversation starter.
Remember to order one size too small for a female. My daughter would be swimming in this size Medium.
So, my hat is off to Mountain, for making such a great product and for making this specific shirt that exactly meets my personal needs. Darned nice of them to call me before they put it into production. But I will not be greedy, I can think of lots of reasons you might want it too.
So this is my 5th Mountain T'shirt and I expect I will buy more. They have been really great.
