To say that our Grandma was special is an understatement. She was a shining light of kindness and wit, a true original whose spirit made the world a better, brighter place. She was the handiest person we knew, and she possessed a gift for knowing exactly what to say to make you feel like the most important person in the room.

Going to her house wasn’t just a visit—it was an adventure, a joyful escape that felt just like going to Disneyland, filled with warmth and unconditional love. We will forever cherish the laughter and the wisdom she shared.

Grandma was the inspiration for bringing something truly special back to life: the Toby’s Troops shirts. She always supported our crew, and so I thought it was high time to make those legendary shirts available again!

We’ve recreated the official Toby’s Troops shirt, taking Curtis’s original design and adding a little color for a fresh look! …We also got a bit carried away and designed a few other fun shirts while we were at it.

Here are the details for the first round of shirts:

Pre-Order: All shirts are available for pre-order on the Toastdog website. This helps us gauge interest and know how many to make!

Production: The shirts are made by me using a technique called Direct To Film (DTF), which prints the ink directly onto a film before being heat-pressed onto the fabric. This creates an incredibly durable print that will last for years—no flimsy vinyl here!

Shipping: The first round of shirts will be shipped out to you in early November. If you are local, select the “local pickup” to avoid paying for shipping.

Remember to USE OUR SPECIAL COUPON CODE AT CHECKOUT! If you can’t recall Grandpa’s favorite greeting, that’s your cue to text me immediately and before ordering! (HINT: the appropriate response to this greeting was: “ni hao pa”).

Once you get your shirts, please take pictures and send them to the crew!
