Strangers Hoodies!

These 50/50 cotton/poly blend zip up hoodies come with the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness logo on the back.

Patches!

We've got two back patches for you! Both are about 8"x14" and printed on heavy black canvas. Put them on a vest. Put them in a frame on your wall. Both are great options.

Willem Arondeus Back Patch

This one seems really timely, especially as we see the GOP continue to repress queer and trans people.

Willem Arondeus (1894-1943) was a Dutch author, illustrator, and anti-Nazi resistance fighter from the Netherlands. He was also openly gay and lived with his boyfriend Jan. He designed posters and illustrated poetry for a living until the Nazi invaded the Netherlands in 1940.

He then, along with a bunch of his friends, joined the resistance movement. Although Willem himself was not Jewish, he spoke out against the forced registration of Jews before it was widely viewed as a problem. Willem and his unit then spent most of their time falsifying identification papers for Dutch Jews and others targeted by the Nazis.

On March 27th, 1943 Willem and his unit attacked the Amsterdam Registry building, destroying thousands of files, so that their falsified papers couldn’t be checked against records, and so that the Nazis would lose lists identifying Jews and others they were targeting. Days later, Willem’s unit was betrayed and turned into the Gestapo. Willem was interrogated and tortured, but refused to give up other comrades in the resistance. Willem and his friends were executed on July 1st, 1943. Before he was executed, Willem wanted the world to know that gay people fought to stop the Nazis, so he asked a friend to let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards.

Uliksi Patch

These patches are leftovers from the Kickstarter for Margaret's The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice. They depict the three-antlered demon deer, Uliksi over a piles of bones. Uliksi appears in the Danielle Cain books, originally summoned to enact revenge. These are patches that the in-world characters might themselves wear.

Shirts!

Back by popular demand, we have the Strangers logo shirt and a new design of the Live Like the World is Dying shirt. Both are printed on 100% cotton shirts.
