Here’s a post which is sure to rile up comments. Proletariat Shop in Cambridge, MA wants to re-inforce the hard working blue collar men who helped build the United State. Teaming with Michael Dacey from Repeat Press (down the road from Proletariat in Somerville, MA), they developed a limited run of 25 posters which proudly states the shop’s slogan “Men in Denim Build this Country, Men in Suits Destroy It.”
“The poster was printed on a Vandercook SP20 using a mix of vintage wood type and new woodcuts created specifically for the poster. Four colors were used and a blind impression with our logos was placed at the bottom. Everything was inked by hand with a brayer rather than using the automated inking system on the press. This gives each print a unique texture as the ink was distributed slightly differently for each print. Printed on heavy chipboard in a limited edition of 25.”
The poster is set to launch on the Proletariat website on November 1st with a variety of new products from the shop.

The irony of a ‘lifestyle’ clothing company that calls itself ‘proletariat’ and produces $25 t-shirts seems lost on the bourgeois who buy them…
Oh, and hoodies for $60… Power to you, comrades.
