Conversation Clothing

You see a guy walking by at the mall and his shirt says "I Stinketh Not!!!" and his friend's shirt says "Touch Me Not For I Have Not Yet... Gone On My Mission". You're thinking that their shirts are cute and even better that you know they're LDS without having met them at a church dance. When they spot you in your "Caffeine Free" hoodie and your friend in her "Mormon Girl - Worth the Wait!!!" shirt they smile and ask your names. Good thing you were wearing your religion on your sleeve--or shirt, anyway.

But what happens when people who aren't LDS read your shirt and give you a really confused look? Then you get the great opportunity explain what your shirt means. The company behind these shirts creates them with missionary work in mind. "We hope that LDS Shirt Company shirts will raise conversation and smiles that will lead to discussions about our beliefs and the LDS Gospel message that we have to offer. It seems that it is hard to break the ice and tell our friends and neighbors of the Good News of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. These LDS shirts will surely spark questions that will lead to the Gospel answers."

As active members of the LDS church, the owners Scott and Michele McKee were also frustrated at what the clothing stores had to offer young people. "Our children were having problems finding wholesome clothes that were in tune with their Mormon upbringing, finding instead low cut, sleeveless, or belly shirts with offensive messages on the front or back.

With 10 years of printing background and a unique sense of humor we decided we could do something about this ourselves. We found clothing that is appropriate and modest, and printed logos and messages that can be worn anywhere from a church dance to school and anywhere in between."

Think of an LDS shirt, hat, etc. like a CTR ring only much, much bigger. Not only does it remind you to choose the right, but it also reminds everyone else that you're LDS. Wouldn't you think twice about doing something bad if your shirt told the whole world you were a "Mormon Girl"? I would.

Just in time for the holidays, LDS Shirt Company has come out with a new pink and brown items. To see their new stuff, go to www.LDSshirt.com.
