Bonkers really....this journey we are on🤯
2 years ago we'd sold a few tees locally.
Yesterday...
We sent orders to👇
England. Wales. Scotland. Northern Ireland. Eire. Chicago. Arizona. Norway. Australia & Paris.
Lovin it & ready for whatever's next🙏
5 AM awayday pick-ups, mates you ain't seen since May, train cans & minibus piss stops, showing off your new ///, pre-match pub pints, getting lost & missing kick-off, a dodgy half-time burger, the joy of a win... back-to-back losses & frustrating draws.
'Back to the terraces'⚽️
78% of our sales start with an interaction on SM.
We've run zero paid ads...
Everything is organic or 'word of mouth'
If you can support us AND...

Then a retweet → like or follow
@fdr_clothing
helps more than you'd think 🙏
Root for others 🙌
Might not be the 'done thing'... shouting out other Indies BUT...
I don't care.
The quality of clobber at the price is outstanding.
If you're not involved yet...
Worth a look.

The BIG BRANDS are being challenged.
The INDIES are rising up.
And we love it...why?
Because customers are sick of...
• Paying silly prices
• Crappy service
• Looking the same as everyone else on the terrace
If you're not already..get onboard
