The making of a T-shirt mogul and leader of Mets fans | Capital New York

A very nice profile of The T-Shirt Guy (who gave my mom a pair of sunglasses on Saturday.)

After a little less than four years in business, The 7 Line’s success is easily measurable. As of one recent count, Meenan had 77 items available for purchase on his web site, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and knitted hats and scarves crocheted by his mother, with a tag that reads “Made By Momma Meenan.” Shirts generally go for $20. The 7 Line makes all of its sales through a PayPal portal on Meenan’s blog, the domain name for which he paid $10. This past year, according to Meenan, The 7 Line revenue was in excess of $500,000.
