I’m thinking of making a regular (some would say weekly) feature of my favourite Threadless product of the week. Tell me if you think this idea sucks in the comments.

The inaugural pick is actually pretty old-school, well, as old-school as a 7 year-old company can get. Sure, it’s faux-stitched (puff ink, apparently), but that crest is really well thought out, and the four paneles on the shield are pretty funny. I think this design really signifies Treadless’ growth as a community that when this tee was originally printed it came on the back of only 374 votes, compared to the 2335 votes that one of this weeks latest designs.

Also, it’s great that Threadless are releasing more and more hoodies.

YackFou: They’ve got a really cool theme running over the next three months. T-shirts designed for a fictional band known as ‘The Yackfous’. It’s an idea that I toyed with back at uni, and I still have a fake album promo-poster that one of my housemates made for a fictitious emo band, if I remember correctly, the album was titled “Must Cry Harder”, meh, it made us laugh.

A Better Tomorrow: I really wish I could read German (or work out if this site is available in English) because then I’d be able to give ABT a much bigger review, I’m sure they’re a great company and they’ve got some great designs, I just have no idea what they’re talking about. Essentially it’s a design competition, but there are also ‘brandstores’, which are mini-shops for some great German labels, including Yackfou, Rokko Foyer and Human Empire.

Pistol Clothing: This Australian company specialises in making custom tees. I think it’s a pretty good idea if you’ve had an idea for a tee and just want to make up a one-off using their simple online design creator (although they do wholsesale orders as well ). From the looks of their gallery they do quality work, and from the looks of things they’ve got their own range of designs in development at the moment as well, so keep a lookout for those as well.

Noisebot: They released a few new funny designs at the weekend, this pocket panda is pretty cute, although it might look a bit weird on a hoodie. I like Noisebot, they’re take on pop culture is a little more subtle than some tee companies out there. Oh, and if you want free shipping on your order this month (when you spend more than $45) use the coupon code LIST45. And just for a change, that’s a coupon code that I couldn’t possible earn anything from!

Oh golly gosh, Little By Jenny is quite the find!

I could have posted pretty much anything from the hoodie section and you’d have been in for a treat. I can’t really think of a reason why I picked this design over the other two available, but it just jumped out at me a bit more (which is pretty unusual for a brown hoodie).

There’s a lot of intricate detail in these hoodies, so it’s a bit of a disappointment that there aren’t any zoomed pictures available, but they still look good nonetheless. All the hoodies have printing on the sides of the hood, and they’ve taken some interesting options in terms of body print placement, so if you’re in the mood for something different you might be in the mood for some Little By Jenny (wow, how much of an ad slogan did that sound?).
