Kirkpatrick recently told LAUNCH about a limited-edition red, white, and blue FuMan Skeeto "Made In The U.S.A." shirt that his company redesigned after September 11.
"We had a shirt that was called 'Made In The F.U.S.A.', and as soon as everything happened we just kind of changed it to just 'Made In The U.S.A.' because we didn't want to put any marketing ploy on anything and try and make money off of what's going on," he said. "We just wanted to put something out that said we're feeling what everybody else is feeling, you know? Our national pride is coming out and we just wanted to give people a chance to wear their national pride around, too."
FuMan Skeeto products can be found at your local Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Eatons, Fast Forward, or Vanity retail store, or online at fumanskeeto.com.
