Garza dove straight in without hesitation. He purchased a screen-printing kit from a craft store and started making"all kinds of crazy shirts" — including a tribute to the early '90s band Gameface that his wife Dawn still owns to this day. "They had faith in us, and we printed manually for them for a few months," Garza said."That was a major boost that allowed us to buy an automatic press right away. After that, everything just blew up."
"We've fixed so many cats," added Jesse Garza, an animal lover who arguably became a"cat person" by circumstance. A testament to Jesse Garza's meticulous work, some collectors have tried to resell his restorations online as mint-condition originals. As a deterrent, he's started stamping them and leaving tell-tale signs of repair on the tops of the decks.
