T Junction: If TJ isn’t on your RSS reader yet then it should be. It’s just deals, discounts, sales and coupon codes for tee stores. Adam recently asked if other bloggers would like to contribute to keep up the frequency of posts. I obliged, and hopefully others will too. I would like to think that this will lead to their being less duplication of information on tee blogs in general, but I doubt it.
Bedlam Clothing: All inventory is $6 until they get rid of whats left before new designs can be rolled out. Yeah, $6, I can barely buy a sandwich for that! (free postage if you buy 3 tees on March 5th)
Noisebot: I don’t know why, but I’m always surprised when I see how good a new wave of designs are from Noisebot, and they print all of their designs on hoodies so I really should pay a lot more attention to them.
The Handsome Sausage: Rafael is selling hats now! In a variety of patterns, some of which are as bright as his website. There’s also a limited sale of old items going on, check out the THS blog for more details.
It was a bit of a leaner month in terms of advertising revenue compared to January, mostly because January’s figures were boosted by accumulated affiliate payments from previous months and me not having the time to ask advertisers for money (I think that I’d better have a proper invoice system rather than e-mails like this: “hey, gimme some money, thanks, Andy”).
But every little bit counts as they say, and I think that this months chosen charity is a good illustration of that. Kiva was February’s donation recipient, or to be more specific, Winifred Ongalo (a clothing store owner from Kenya) was February’s recipient of a $25 donation, plus $2.50 directly to Kiva for administration costs. Here’s an explanation of what Kiva is from their own site:
“Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can “sponsor a business” and help the world’s working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you’ve sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back. “
Now, I’m sure you’ve just read that last sentence and now you’re thinking, “wait a minute Andy, you get your money back? Not exactly a donation now is it?”, well, I can understand your concern, but I promise that I’ll just keep re-investing the loan if I get it back. Historically, repayment rates for micro loans are above 95%, Kiva claims a repayment rate of 100%, so chances are I will get the money back for re-investing.
As ever, suggestions for charities for next months donation are welcomed, though I may stick with Kiva for a while since I like the way it works.
You know what’s awesome about this hoodie, it’s only available in XL, so just this once all you thin people can by jealous of people that have BBQ sauce on their tees. Yeah, I know, that thin/fat joke was a real stretch…
That isn’t the only thing that I like about this hoodie though. If I were to make up some kind of standardized test to judge the quality of a hoodie then this item would be getting a lot of ticks from the green pen. There’s printing on the hood, graffiti mashed with logos, paint splatters, and possibly some piping along the stitches, although it may actually be a stitch detail, its pretty hard to tell from the picture. OH, and the blurb says its extremely limited edition, there’s no exact figure but you can bet you won’t ever see anyone else wearing it (in a good way!).
Away from this hoodie I actually like a lot of other stuff that 2one5 are doing, they’ve got a good ethos and are backing it up with great designs (this is probably my favourite tee from the collection).
