Lawyer Howard Malfeasance approving Soi Dog #1 by Chris Coles
Chris Coles sent over his lawyer last night to sign all the paperwork approving the world-wide distribution and possible franchise opportunities for Bangkok Soi Dog #1 Tshirts, which will be available soon from this very web-site.
BANGKOK SOI DOG #1 to be available with or without lettering of BANGKOK SOI DOG #1
This stunning fashion statement can be yours for less than the price of a Caribbean vacation. Details coming in June.
After all, who wouldn’t want to be the proud owner of this Tshirt, while making a unique fashion statement that clearly says …. well, I am not sure exactly what that statement says but I am sure there is one in there somewhere. It is art, after all.
I’ve done my homework on Fashion 101. It seems the best way to get someone to buy a new Tshirt is to make them feel guilty over wearing something old. Guilt sells, I am told.
So what better way to celebrate the new fall fashion than by showing a lot of people wearing a fashion trend that is, let’s face it, post peak. Of course we will be putting the few remaining Gop Frog in the Coconut shell Tshirts on a drastic sale. But wait, there’s more! Anyone buying a copy of my upcoming book, Bangkok Beat, will get a discount on this beautiful Tshirt which is sure to make you the envy of everyone in your neighborhood, or not.
So without further ado, Gop Tshirts – a retrospective:
Kindest thanks to the creator of Gop Tshirt design.
Others were more willing to take the risk. Here is just a sampling of the people now possessing an outdated trend:

I’ll leave you with a quote from a former editor of The Paris Review (He had no idea he was working for spies. I believe him.)
“I have never been convinced there’s anything inherently wrong in having fun.”

Love the Gop T-shirt retrospective – I recognise a few mugshots in that line-up. I like the Soi Dog T-shirt – any chance if a follow-up Soi Cat version?
Chris does have some artwork of female soi dogs, Angela. They are, in my opinion, not as flattering as Soi Dog #1, if you can imagine that. Perhaps for the Fall 2016 season … 🙂
Your site’s looking great. … The post that I couldn’t leave the other day merely said I enjoyed your review of Burdett’s latest book. Haven’t read the book
Pointedly, I see no sign of me in a Gop t-shirt.
Our whole advertising campaign for the Soi Dog #1 Tshirts is based on obtaining Collin Piprell as The Most Interesting Man in the World, which, of course, you really are anyway. I picture a photo-shoot at Hemingway’s, perhaps a cigar and Mojito … “I don’t always wear T-shirts but when I do it’s Bangkok Soi Dog #1 for me.”
A man of discerning taste, obviously. Just the spokesman we need for Bangkok Soi Dog #1
Must buy me a Soi Dog T!
Would you like lettering or no lettering, Phillip? I’m finalizing the order tonight. .6″ lettering saying, BANGKOK SOI DOG #1 or pure … no lettering. Best, Kevin C
With lettering I think – adds that extra literate touch.
80% with lettering. 20% without for the purists …. Thanks, Phillip
Would like to buy soi dog shirt, but not in your store and no email address found…
Nicole, Thanks for your interest. Soi Dog Tshirts will arive within 10 days. I need to spend some time on the store, so I appreciate the comment. You can email me at ThailandFootprint@gmail.com for any other questions. What country are you in? Best, Kevin
