I often get emails like this:
"Hey man, love your stuff. Just not on tees so much. Ever thought about getting into _____?"
The funny thing is, I can totally relate to the feeling.
Confession: I dont wear a lot of my own shirts.
Its kind of weird, I guess, but some of them just dont feel like things Id wear. I love to design them and they leave the shelves pretty quick, but Id say only 50% of the designs make it to my closet.
So my challenge to those of you in the same boat is to fill in the above blank. What would you like LF to start getting into?
Ive got my own ideas and have started production on 3 of them in particular, but its always nice to have others' input on this sort of thing!

watches
gameyy said 3 months ago
What type?
heavyprints said 3 months ago
Sneakers with your characters all over them would be amazing. Or canvas shoes, whatever. Im a sneaker guy, though.
I like hats too.
RustyEight said 3 months ago
Pocket watches = baddass.
Oh man Plugs too, I would rock a set of Keith plugs any day.

Yeah, I guess mine were kind of expensive. An epidemic poster would be pretty hardcore. Maybe a few color choices, print on demand or something?
Kevvbo said 3 months ago
Designer toys!!! I think your characters would be awesome on vinyl. I would definitely pick them all up.

Best slogan ever "Now your car can smell Linty Fresh too!"... hey, dryer sheets anyone?

jaynajaynajayna said 3 months ago
You are a genius brander, the toys and all that little stuff would be 100% win for you. Anything you can incorporate your characters into. Watches would be dank
basil said 3 months ago
keith plush toys
DrewGliever said 3 months ago
watches would definitely be cool. like just a super basic round one with a character in the back
Id definitely collect LF toys as well.
maybe pattern print bandanas? socks? if youre creative with anything, people will buy it. LF r00lz!

Leather chaps.
And vinyl stickers/stick-ons. Small to moderately sized for car windows, notebooks, guitars, drum kits, home appliances, laptops, stereos, whatevers. I think its something that if the price could be kept down, people would add to their shopping carts before check-out.
basil said 3 months ago
keith ice cream
downrodeo said 3 months ago
Yeap, vinyl stickers would be great. Since you love street art, itll be good to see u getting into that scene as well, like John Burgerman used to do.
dsprad said 3 months ago
"Hey man, love your stuff. Just not on tees so much. Ever thought about getting into tees?"
I like your tees just fine..
4Sevens said 3 months ago
Mints? Caffeinated or otherwise, in a fancy "Keith" printed tins. Perfect for Linty Fresh brand. Im pretty sure those still sell. JC, UO, and others sell them in-store. I dunno if these small-ticket items are what you were looking for, but mints might be worth looking in to.
Incarnadine said 3 months ago
shower curtains, normal curtains, scarves, rugs, your stuff is applicable to almost anything.
Yaknow what would be great? Those vinyl wall decals, like:

I remember you had a big astronaut in your room, itd be rad to have some official linty fresh stuff on my wall!
Acid said 3 months ago
Yea, that astronaut is a good idea, but a keith one, or some characters from epidemic like the robot... I would put a robot on every door in my house.
boxer shorts would be good, wallets, hats, shorts, calendar? idk lol. socks, pillows definately, along with bed linen, trainers/sneakers, more variety in stickers and bigger ones, all sizes really like from 2 inches to 5 or 6, then to massive wall ones.
gaunty said 3 months ago
boxers definitley and PJs for the ladies
wotto said 3 months ago
a linty fresh wallet and a tote for my lady would be cool.

i think you should start putting your cool little faces on tote bags, theyd fit nicely and the girlies will eat them up
chech95 said 3 months ago

2 or 3" wide belts. Not belt buckles; belts themselves.
like a printed nylon or canvas.
people could rock 'em through one side belt loop and theyd look amazing.
gameyy said 3 months ago
Wow, I actually forgot I made this thread last night! Geeeez, its been a busy day. In any case, thanks for all the wonderful suggestions!
Of the things mentioned, 3 of them (and one in particualar that a bunch of you mentioned) are actually in production or design stages. But theres a lot of other things I hadnt thought folks were really into. I think the mints and air freshener ideas are especially unique!
skullface said 3 months ago

gameyy said 3 months ago
I actually do have a bunch of belts in the works, but theyre the usual kind, not the ones you mentioned. And most unfortunately vinyl toys arent it either, although I just recently met someone who can produce them... so well see!
