A NERD in Japan
august 2, 2010 | author: scott

Around mid-July, I heard the familiar ding on my iPhone which kindly alerts me that I've got new email. I opened my email to find that I had just received my first international order. The awesome Moriyuki Yamada had just taken Instant Classic global! To large corporations or more established brands, this might not be all that exciting, but to me this was HUGE news! Somehow, someone halfway around the world had found my brand and liked it enough to purchase two of my tees (en Francais and I'm a NERD for those keeping score at home). It's cool to know that two ideas that were born in my head and printed on a t-shirt are now being worn in Japan.

Although we've talked through email, I want to take the opportunity to thank Moriyuki Yamada again for his purchase and for taking the time to send me a picture of him wearing his Instant Classic NERD tee. My brand is small and I'm really trying to expand and get exposure. It's emails like the one below that give me the motivation to keep moving forward and pouring time into Instant Classic. Thanks for your support!

Kind words from our first international customer.
