A little more than 24 hours in and we are fully funded, thanks to all of you! Here’s what that means: 1. Blank is a reality! It’s actually happening, people! Get excited. 2. Our backers are (still) amazing. We were pretty confident we’d meet our goal, but

We’re almost there!

Point Blank: you guys are amazing! Less than eight hours in and we’re over 75% funded! We’ve raised $36,000+ since launching at 10:00 ET this morning. That’s a lot of t-shirts! Again, you’ve overwhelmed us with your support. And, again, we can’t say

All systems go

Today’s the day you’ve been waiting for (well, today and the next 27 days) … our Blank Kickstarter has launched! Our project to design and produce better fitting t-shirts for women and men is finally a reality. You want in? All we need from you is $48,000. Relax,

Prepare for launch

We have a confession to make: We love our women’s t-shirts. Alright that’s a little inaccurate, let’s be more specific: We love our new women’s t-shirts. Sound familiar? That’s probably because you remember where we were six months ago… you know, back when you told

Happy Blank Day

It’s our birthday and we’ll talk about Blank if we want to! That’s right, Cotton Bureau turnsfour years old today and we’re celebrating by focusing on our newest project—and by giving away a bunch of 20% off coupons and $400 Amazon gift cards (more about

The samples are coming, the samples are coming!

Started from the bottom, now we’re…somewhere in the middle.

Back in mid-February, we lifted the lid on Blank, our mission to make better t-shirts for women (and men). Then, well, we disappeared for a few months. Frankly, we’ve been a little busy this year: packing and shipping almost 100,000 shirts (more than all of last year), moving

Honest Sales

Our approach to sales at Cotton Bureau is simple: find people who want what we have, or, at least, need what we have and just don’t know it yet. That’s worked out well so far, but if we’re being honest—and, you know, that is the theme—

Better t-shirts for women (and men too). Say hello to Blank by Cotton Bureau.

We have a confession to make: our women’s t-shirts suck. Alright, maybe that’s a little inaccurate, let’s be more specific: our women’s t-shirt sizing sucks. It always has, and if you’ve ever bought a women’s t-shirt from us and it was way too small,

Where we stand.

The past four days have been extraordinary, both for the United States of America and for us as a company. Designers are using Cotton Bureau as a platform for t-shirts spreading messages of love and charity — and messages of protest and defiance. We’ve sold far more shirts since this

Give Back Friday 2016

It's that time of year again, where brands (coughcough like us) try to sell as much stuff as humanly possible before the holidays are over. But last year, we decided that we wanted to use the weaponized force of consumer behavior for some good, and borrowing a few

We're hiring a designer!

Hi there, friends. We're hiring a designer. This is a full-time, salaried position on the mighty Cotton Bureau squad. We're not actually sure what to call this position specifically, because, well, our industry isn't quite sure what to call it either. Web designer. Interface

A Good Endeavor

I’m not sure how to tell this story other than candidly and from the beginning. Cotton Bureau was conceived all the way back in 2011 as an extension of United Pixelworkers, a place our friends (designers and businesses alike) could sell high-quality, well-designed t-shirts on a pre-order basis just

Cotton Bureau 2.0

N.B. design has been modified since publication. Make new home pages, but keep the old; one is silver, the other, gold, is, to the best of my knowledge, how the saying goes. Last week we soft-launched the new Cotton Bureau home page. It (finally) has touch navigation for product

Getting Our Story Straight

Cotton Bureau as it exists today didn’t arise in a vacuum, nor did it emerge from our shared consciousness in a fully realized state. Its quirks and idiosyncrasies, beauties and strengths, warts and blemishes are a textbook case of the intertwingled roles of nature and nurture. Much of the

Start Somewhere

Please bear with me. It’s been a while since I’ve written anything substantial, anything that presumes to represent the company I co-founded. I am therefore falling back on the old crutch of writers everywhere: writing about the process of writing. I wish there was another way. We (Jay
