It’s Day 5 of the 2026 WA State Fair and it’s clear the ROYL collectors have an understanding of the moment. We saw a bunch more custies on opening day than our previous two years. That’s an awesome sign of things to come and the level of understanding we are seeing in comparison to the other years. We are still waiting to see if we can affect the rodeo goers in a way that grows their affinity with the brand. It’s nothing we can predict and time tells all but the ROYL is certainly finding its footing with our fair audience. That means something to us because ROYL’s original intent is as an anniversary graphic but its performance brought it to the fair and now it’s working hard on staying there. A double up tradition (1 during Anni, 1 during the Fair) doesn’t sound bad as a collector. But this is coming from collectors 😂.

The fellowship between Sasquatch and Big WA is one that is flourishing day after day. It’s growing rapidly through mishaps and adventures on the fairgrounds. These two are bound to get into trouble fumbling through discovery of a world of wonders that’s never closed to them. Competing is a natural act when there are prizes to win!! And in the times there are no prizes there’s pride. But it’s all in good fun!! They have every intention of laughing with each other and not at each other. They share the same passion for the atmosphere and attractions. So no matter what it’s a good time. Their last experience riding Bumber Cars turned into a crash course in drifting into head on collisions. Lessons were learned, back aches were earned and nobody won. At least they had fun 😂.

You asked - we brought it back. Again. We had to honestly because the amount of asking was a little overwhelming in a good way. It’s sort of surreal when there is a true fan favorite, a collective thought of “this is the best one”. It’s not something we can or care to argue. You say what’s goes once we put it into the world and so consider us humbled to be able to release another rendition of the eTceTera State Fair Corndog. This year it’s featuring in a print on a super-heavyweight 8oz longsleeve in Black only. But we felt like that was a bit of cliffhanger, and then what about the real ones who grabbed the pullover last year or the OG T-shirt year one?? They need something to pair and level-up and that’s where the golf cap came into play and has been immediately effective, not to mention a callback to the dad cap era that helped us grow in 907. We did a White run of socks this year too, plenty to pair with the long-sleeve.

We doubled down on two elements here and the results are better than we expected. Both animal focused and collage style graphics are a heavy influence for us this year at the WA State Fair. We started making animals graphics and couldn’t stop. There are infinite eTc ideas but when you talk about something as relatable as the human relationship with animals, somehow you open up more possibilities. Naturally the colors pop because of the nature of fur and animal skin in general. It’s colorful and has blended textures and patterns. It stirs up ideas of some really good cut n sew down the line. We might have a Doja Cat moment if we can agree on a final edit. Who’s saying no to the cow print Anorak?! Aye - we can dream can’t we??

Upset the setup!! Word to the Alma Mater. We are SO back and it’s the greatest feeling. Today we stormed the fairgrounds and got to work. The energy was high and the setup is a little different this year. But the flags are still flying. We might change it up every time just to keep you on your toes, who knows?? Same spot though!! Remember that. Boss man Jeremy and the “O” JWash made sure we got it dialed for day one Sept 4th. That’s Friday and we are excited to see everyone. You’ll find us hangin on the couch like we usually do politic’n and we know you peeped the Catan 👀. So make sure to send your folks our way. We have some fun moments planned and you never know which day it will be, see you soon, stay ready.

Aye JWash kinda fast huh!!?!

Last year informed us of several things we didn’t know for sure but had considered. Flags help. Branded bags help. Blankets galore. But the thing that surprised us in the best way was the reaction to our outerwear; a wool two-tone varsity jacket. It was well received, really well, we sold out halfway through the second week. It was an honor to see longtime Fair employees wearing the varsity and beaming with joy. There’s a point of pride with our pieces because they are limited but it’s really the quality. Last year, when folks were bold enough to approach the booth and touch the product we could see the spark and wheels begin to turn. The satin style bomber we produced this year levels up the delicacy and nods back to our first 5 years as eTceTera, when satin bombers were the belle of the ball. The sleeve hits are different from last year and the feature colorway is a vibrant green. The bold WASHINGTON ties it altogether and all of us together.

We see these in the wild more than anything else and we know why. It’s the one that has the most representation of the fair-goer. And in that way it’s commemorative. Which is why the other two versions of this have been the most successful since our time as Fair partners and collaborators. It’s a graphic that says I went to the fair and I know eTc all in the same breath. One thing is certain they will be gone before we pack it up on Sept 27th. Our favorite part of the appeal with the Landmarks T are the conversations that surround it and spark in front of the booth just because it exists. Great motivation to keep it in rotation.

This is a grail shirt internally. No we can’t hold this one for you. It’s already barely fair as is. This is one of the bangers that let us know our Fair family trusts us to represent us all in a meaningful fashion. Animals have always been a huge part of the Fair lore, three in particular for us. The pig, the cow and the horse. Umi will say a duck 😂. Farm life is both heritage and lifestyle to Puyallup. We were little humans when these were introduced and they are pivotal to imagery that means being on the fairgrounds with the family. Not to mention the amazing art around the Fairgrounds making them more iconic. Look at em - just hangin. It’s an image that says everything about being with the your people and enjoying that all in itself. And THAT is the spirit of the Fair we know, remember and hold dear. Our only mission is to keep Doin it and Doin it well 😉. IYKYK.
