OLD ABOUT US

Hi my name is Evan Laisure, and I’m from Lakewood Ohio. The Pastimes is a wholesale print shop where my team & I print apparel for various organizations as well as products for the outdoor brand- thepastimes.com. I sell those products at trade shows across the Midwest and at many of those events, I vend breakfast from my food trailer. My freelance focus now has shifted to public art, and i've been hired as a muralist for clients like Sherwin Williams and Adidas. My dream is to one day move the studio and food trailer into a commercial unit with a cafe on one side, and a print shop in the other. So every shirt, sandwich, or project you hire me for brings that goal a little bit closer and I can't thank you enough. You can see more of my work below, or If you have any questions just send them my way at evan@thepastimes.com.

Our Process and Commitment

At The Pastimes, we take pride in our hands-on approach to silkscreen printing. Unlike commercial printing, every single Pastimes garment is meticulously printed by hand in our Lakewood studio, foregoing industrial presses. This personal touch ensures attention to detail and a unique, artisanal quality to each piece as you see here:

Our Environmental Responsibility

Embracing sustainability, we exclusively use 100% water-based inks, devoid of commercial pigments and solvents. This eco-friendly approach not only enhances the shirt's feel—making the ink seamlessly integrate with the fabric—but also ensures longevity. Our prints withstand the test of time, resisting fading or cracking, lasting for years, if not decades. Unlike polyester shirts that take a staggering 200 years to degrade, our commitment to using 100% cotton means that once our shirts hit the landfill, they biodegrade in just two months. We prioritize sustainability at every stage, ensuring our products leave a minimal environmental footprint.
