Excess in Moderation Patch

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ART:

4" embroidered patch with iron-on backing

My old friend Evan Lorenzen recently started working with us, and one day he brought in some beautiful patches featuring his artwork. When he showed them to us, we thought they were so cool that we decided to offer them in our shop as well.

These are iron-on patches that can be applied to sturdy, heat-tolerant fabrics such as cotton, denim, canvas, and durable polyester blends. You can attach them with heat following the included instructions, or sew them on if you prefer a more permanent attachment.

We’re excited to share them with you and hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

I lifted this motto from Doug Stanhope’s “No Refunds” comedy special. It offers a very good description of how I live my life. I believe that there are times when embracing wildness is healthy and too much restraint is not.

I didn’t always believe that however. I lived a life of very strict sobriety and restraint for 11 years. Not a single drop of alcohol or coffee or any other intoxicants. Not because of any addiction, I just valued that kind of control.

I’m no longer that way now, but I still value temperance a great deal and when I need to, I go for very long stretches of strict self-discipline.

I think it is possible to be addicted to temperance. Everything in moderation. Including moderation.

Quick note for the record, I’m not referring here to people who have identified their own addiction and instituted a zero-tolerance policy for themselves. This, I respect very much and I do not view this decision as an addiction to temperance. In my opinion, being alive is one of the most difficult things one could ever do!
