The Mountain

The Mountain is a t-shirt screenprinting company located in Keene, NH.

Products

The Mountain prints mostly t-shirts, mostly of the tie-dye variety, using a patented subtractive dye process. (I don't know the details of the patent, but it may have to do with the unusual and interesting shapes which often apper in the texture of their tie-dyes.)

At one time they were using strictly organic cotton, and had a web site about this (mountainorganic.com; the domain is still registered as of this writing). The web site seems to have been discontinued; I don't know if they are still using organic cotton, though it seems likely.

Recent Additions

In 2005, The Mountain added a selection of printed solid color shirts to their offerings, as well as a small line of two-sided prints and shirts with pockets. They also recently (2003?) added a line of girls' tops, which was expanded in 2005 to include women's tops. (Their web site, however, is still showing their 2004 catalog only, as of this writing, and none of the new stuff.)

Questions

These are questions which came up as I was entering the 2006 catalog data into our database; I'll include the answers when I find them.

• Last year, tank tops were available for "men", "women", and "girls"; this year there is only one size. How does it compare with last year's sizes? Same for stringtops/spaghetti-straps (available for "women" and "girls").
• What are the measurements for the "fashion styles" (tanks, capsleeves, and spaghetti-straps)? (The size chart seems to have gone away when the site was finally updated from 2004 to 2006.)
