I am a fan of House Industries. Their design and fonts and whatnot.
Chalet and Neutraface are both fonts that I have lusted over for some time. I would like the entire collection. But for personal use, I don’t know about spending $299 for the whole collection. In a freelance capacity I tend to be more of a shoestring designer, working with what we have to keep things cheap for my clients. “Hey… you know what this project needs? It needs me to buy the entire Chalet collection. This 35 print run of xeroxed Bed and Breakfast brochure will surely rake in the money then.”
I got my occasional House Industries email today. I was going to deleted it but clicked through anyway and found that they’ve got some bike themed stuff for me to needlessly want. I am semi mystified at how my font lust and my bike lust could be wrapped together in on package.
Velocipede Shirt - but who doesn't iron a shirt before photographing it for sale?

Because it is one of my life’s quests to iron as little as possible, I like the wrinkled shirt for sale. It already looks like something I own, versus making me feel like I would have to iron it if I purchased it.
That’s a good point. I now only buy things that I think will not need to be ironed. If they do need to be ironed, I just wear them with wrinkles.
