We're finally reordering custom long-sleeved hooded tees. They've long been limited to our OG members who were here for the first run, but it's time to let some new folks into the Cool Kids Club. We'll be taking orders for a few other custom models as well (ladies' crop tees, crop tanks, and muscle tanks), so this is your chance to stock up on Spider Couture. No off-the-shelf styles for our Spideys. We can't have you showing up at a party in the same outfit as somebody else, after all. We'll be submitting our final order on October 13th, and we won't be stocking these styles, so your order and payment must be in by then to get one of these little beauties. These are all screen-printed with the Spider logo on the front, on the back, and you have the option to have your name and sport heat-pressed on the long sleeves.
You can pay by PayPal, Venmo, cash, or miscellaneous web payment, but we will need payment by October 13th to put your order in. We're happy to ship if you'll cover costs. If you'd like to order, shoot us a message. We'll confirm your order with you, and these should be available for pickup at Spider by the end of October. Stay stylish out there!

We’d like to take a moment out of this absolutely insane year to congratulate and on their marriage. We love our dynamic ginger duo, and they are further proof that our folks are super strong AND super attractive. Congratulations and best wishes to this power couple, and way to make this into a banner year! You show 2020 who’s boss.
