Every year, since 5518 opened, we created limited-edition 4th of July and Folk Festival shirts to help people celebrate those festivals. This past year, it finally only dawned on us to expand that strategy to other holidays. And just like that, our seasonal shirts were born!
We began in the fall of 2024 with a SimplePlace Halloween design, inspired by the spookiness of Bannack ghost town. That led to 5518’s golden birthday design, a couple Christmas specific shirts, and a Valentine’s Day design. We’ve been having so much fun with these that there’s no stopping us now.
This year, we’re excited to release our brand new Scarecrow design for Halloween. This design didn’t come without its challenge: Jon and our designer Alycia had a hard time narrowing down several ideas for this year’s Halloween shirt. Because of this artistic standstill, we reached out to our wonderful staff to help us choose. When the staff votes were tallied, the Scarecrow beat out three other possibilities.
Alycia reached deep into her unnerving experience at the Manhattan Corn Maze to add a little touch of authenticity to the art. We love that she’s using her fright for good!
We hope you enjoy it too. The Scarecrow limited-edition Halloween design is now available in-store and always 24/7 online at shop5518.com.
