This was one of the first 2B designs. (1990?) It features artwork I did based on a photo of Eric Wever doing a fast plant. Soul Kitchen was the name of the 2B skatepark contest series, which were more about having fun riding with your friends than competing. Hence the tagline on the b

Tossed Salad was a jumping contest series put on by 2B and we designed this shirt to promote it. Not sure what year it came out, 92? It features a photo of Mike Forney jumping at Landsdowne skatepark. Many thanks to Mike Laird for sending this photo of his very own Tossed Salad tee. &

This is some serious oldscool here. Leigh Ramsdell, around 1990, doing a miami hopper drop-in wearing a 2B Wraparound Lizard shirt. (and with a ton of 2B stickers on his bike) This is when Leigh first started riding for 2B, back before we even had a multi-color shirt press. This was o

This 2B knit cap was made by hand-sewing a 2B oval patch to a beanie. Pretty high tech right? Many thanks to Mike Laird for sending in this photo of his 2B beanie. [Trivia: Mike Laird was a Useless team rider]

Matthew Marteinsson sent this pic of an original 2B Convoy tee shirt. Often referred to as “the Truck”, it featured two tractor trailers lined up in a convoy around the bottom edge of the shirt. This particular shirt has stains on it worthy of a real truck driver. Steve an

Steve Buddendeck and I made a point to write a personal note to everyone who ordered a shirt from us. Somehow these letters have remained in people’s private collections around the world. Here are a few we have received copies of. All letters written between 1990 and 1995. Many

This photo was sent by Matthew Marteinsson who has kept this original 2B patch in mint condition. I freakin’ loved this patch and I wish I still had one myself. Probably produced around 1991? Design by Steve Buddendeck. Matt was a regular 2B customer and he kept a lot of the ran

Many thanks to Dan Williams for sending this pic of his original Soul On Parole tee shirt (Free James Brown) by 2B Homecooked Garments. The artwork is by Steve Buddendeck and features a photo of me jumping over a shopping cart (on my seatless bully?) under the Super Fresh grocery stor

This shirt was officially named “The Soul Series” but was generally referred to as the Free James Brown shirt or the Soul Behind Bars shirt. It was one of the first designs by 2B Homecooked Garments (1989). Back in those days we didn’t have a press yet and printed a

Many thanks to Shawn Burnham for sending this pic of a business card I gave him some time around 1994 while riding in Freedom Plaza in DC. I am honored that he still had it in his collection. Steve Buddendeck and I liked to make up random redneck phrases for our titles. This was durin
