Introducing our most profound creation yet, the "Side by Side" shirt, born out of our fifth-year reflection as a company. This quiet anniversary became a pivotal moment, inspiring us to redefine our purpose. "Side by Side; Quality Goods Rooted In The Bonds of Companionship" embodies our commitment to honoring the timeless partnership between humans and their bird dogs.
What makes this sticker even more special is its illustration inspiration. A few months before the company's namesake, Skeet, passed away, I took a photo of him walking side by side with my wife Kathleen. This poignant image captures one of the last walks they shared, in a beautiful field in Central Texas. The series of illustration iterations that followed depict the meaningful design process. Beyond symbolizing our refined mission and purpose, this shirt memorializes one of the last cherished moments of our first bird dog's life, embodying the spirit of loyalty and companionship. Another special aspect of this shirt, was caught during the illustrative design processs from the old photos, it was hard to catch the essence of Skeet’s (a French Brittany) body. So we sent a current photo of one of our current female bird dogs, Ruby, for the designer to see. As a result, this illustration combines the legacy and memorable moment of our time with Skeet and our current day memories in the making with Ruby being the inspiration for the dog illustration and pose.
At its core, this shirt is a tribute to tradition and heritage, weaving a narrative of loyalty and trust cultivated through the unique bond with your bird dog. Beyond the fabric and design, it's a testament to preserving connections to the outdoors, cherishing moments with family and loyal canine companions. This shirt invites you to embrace simpler times, reminiscent of experiences shared with parents and grandparents.
The motto "Quality Goods Rooted in the Bonds of Companionship" isn't just a tagline; it encapsulates the very essence of this shirt. Wear "Side by Side" proudly, not just as a garment but as a canvas expressing your individuality and a proclamation of loyalty to your four-legged hunting partner. Join us in celebrating and preserving a lifestyle anchored in quality goods and the enduring bonds of companionship.

Yea it’s one of those shirts. It’s soft, nice cut to it and it has a bird dog on it…what’s not to love? And yea, my wife already stole it. It’s that good.
I love this shirt! It's very soft and comfortable! It's got a classic style that will look good as part of a casual outfit.
Great!
It’s a patch not much to review but a great way to round an order out for free shipping. Note this an iron on patch not Velcro.
