Be a New Orleanian - A History of Dirty Coast Shirts




Those of you who follow our crawfish boil know that we at DGA have a special affection for local NOLA clothier, Dirty Coast Press.

It started out with a chuckle at our favorite Dirty Coast shirt, the Po-Boy Patent, a must-have for those who love good food as much as high stakes patent litigation!



Soon we were celebrating the boil with an annual round of Dirty Coast shirts. Before long we were basing the theme of every boil on Dirty Coast's apparel antics, and having custom shirts sent 'round so y'all can be as well-dressed as we are!

After many, many hundreds of shirts, Dirty Coast has decided to sponsor the DGA 2018 Boil, and has graciously offered a special discount code just for our friends! Not only will you get 10% off in the Dirty Coast webstore with the code DGABOIL2018, you'll also be entered into a drawing for 2 weekend passes to Jazz Fest!

So why don't you take a look at all the shirts we've featured in our past crawfish boils, which are obviously the best ones Dirty Coast has!



Soul is Waterproof reminds us of how no amount of adversity can beat the spirit of New Orleans.



We've been featuring live music by local bands at the boil for years, because in a place like New Orleans, you should always remember to Listen to Your City!



Anyone who's been to our crawfish boil understands what Louis Armstrong meant when he sang "I Know What It Means to love New Orleans," and anyone from NOLA knows this is the only time it's okay to pronounce it that way!



We love New Orleans because, as Dirty Coast reminds us, Strange Things Happen Below Sea Level. And for those who come to the boil, remember that strange things also stay below sea level!



Amidst the chaos of 2017 we decided to honor the bottom feeders that make our crawfish boil possible. Sometimes it's good to remember that it takes all kinds. It is, however, much better to have God Bless the Bottom Feeders when they're as delicious as crawfish!



And this year, of course, we will be striving to Keep Our Beds Fertile. You never know what the future will bring, but with loving care and affection we can make sure our beds are filled with the most... oysters in the world for a long time to come!

We hope to see you at the crawfish boil on Saturday, March 10th.

Those of you who come can pick up one of our limited edition specially printed Keep Our Beds Fertile shirts, but don't forget that Dirty Coast has a whole lot of other great stuff for locals and visitors alike.



As always, remember to Be a New Orleanian Wherever You Are!
