A nice image

patrickmoberg: Converse jockin my shirt :( Spotted by Mareen That sucks, man. I’m sorry. I used to have a clothing company, known mostly for one-of-a-kind hand-knits. All my pieces were very distinctive, especially the patterns of color I would use. Each piece was unique. Well, in the fashion business one only needs to change one or two small details to be free of “copying” your design.  So one day, someone forwarded to me the merchant site page from Wal-Mart (!!!) of one of the Olsen Twins new KNIT COATS. It was almost an exact copy of one of the hand-knit coats I had delivered to Fred Segal (a popular boutique in L.A.) that season. How’d I know it was mine? Becasue I only made one with that color combination/pattern.
