Buy my stuffs kthxbye
Ever thought to yourself, “Gee, I wish I had an Abbotts Aerodrome tee shirt in real life”? Well, you probably haven’t. But I did, and so now you can get the official Abbotts Aerodrome tee shirt at Cafe Press. I have one of these myself (though it has the older logo on it), and it’s indeed a high-quality shirt that I’m happy to say covers every part of my upper body that I’d expect to be covered while I’m clothed.
Not only that, but I’m drinking coffee at this very moment out of an official Terrabucks Coffee mug. Mmm. You can really taste the plywood.
