MAN-O-MANISCHEWITZ!
URBAN SCHMATTA BY JEWCY.COM LICENSES KOSHER LOGOS TO MAKE
DELICIOUS TEES
Urban Schmatta by Jewcy.com, the clothing line that brought
Jewcy T-shirts to fashion-forward Jews around the globe, is
giving Torah worshippers and their comrades something new
to 'nosh on.'
In an unprecedented licensing agreement with the B. Manischewitz
Company, Urban Schmatta has produced a brand new line of vintage-style
t-shirts boasting the name of the famous matzoh maker. A staple
in grandma's kitchen and signpost of Jewish-American culture
since 1888, Manischewitz brings to mind all things Hebrew.
This reinvention of the Manischewitz brand in such a fashionable
form brings out not only the hungry, but also the hip Heeb
in all of us.
Unlike the green and orange gefilte fish jars that adorn
supermarket shelves, Urban Schmatta's t-shirts display the
classic Manischewitz logos (collected from vintage cookbooks)
of the 30s, 40s and 50s. The vintage logos lend an air of
cool nostalgia to these stylish Tees, making them perfect
for observing the Sabbath, or going out on a Saturday night.
Urban Schmatta will also release a brand new line of Manischewitz
t-shirts for babies and toddlers. The t-shirts and onesies
feature the one of the same vintage logos as the adult shirts,
but in little pisher sizes. It's more fun to wipe the schmutz
off your little tottela if he/she is wearing the ultimate
sign of baby-Jew pride.
The entire Manischewitz, Baby Manischewitz, and original
Jewcy product lines are viewable/available at www.jewcy.com.
Prices range from $21.00 - $30.00. Clothing/product
samples sent upon request.
Urban Schmatta by Jewcy.com is the name of the line of apparel
that is created and sold by Jewcy.com.
Jewcy represents kosher-style fabulosity and has garnered
international press and attention since it went live in November
2002. Aimed at today's members of the Tribe, Jewcy celebrates
the life via a line of lifestyle products and events that
sizzle like fresh latkes. You don't have to be Jewish to be
Jewcy (although it doesn't hurt!) - it's also good for Jew-Lovers,
Honorary Jews, and even gentiles. It would be a SHANDA to
wear anything else.
