I like Sascha Says, the first time they e-mailed me was a tip-off about going to visit Graniph in Tokyo, which I did, and loved it, and me going to that shop only happened because of a virutal stranger from the other side of the world trying to be helpful. That, and they just seemed really nice, but I guess that’s probably just a trait of Aussies in general.

Before I get onto the tee I’d like to mention one little oddity of Sascha Says, they sell aprons, which I don’t think I’ve seen any apparel company selling since I started this blog, so that’s a pretty interesting angle, although considering just how much a stereotypical imaginary Australian loves to barbeque it makes perfect sense that they’d want to cover their t-shirt with something, and surely adding a bit of style into aprons wouldn’t be too bad for those people that usually find themselves being the lord of the grill. One issue, if you had a cool apron (if that phrase isn’t an oxymoron), would you be willing to get it all greasy and dirty?

Their tee designs are pretty fun, the boys and girls line are totally separate with no crossing over of designs, but they do share the same spirit. They’re all light-hearted, though I would say that the female line is a bit more of a sophisticated look compared to the guys tees that head a bit more in the Busted Tees direction without quite as much reliance on puns and frat humour. The Fuel tee that I got in the mail is pretty sweet though, it’s a pretty geeky idea, but I know a lot of people who would probably die if they didn’t get their morning shot of caffeine, so this tees probably got a lot of mass appeal. The colourways great too, very complimentary. I’m impressed by their printing quality too, the change from orange to yellow (between the can and the cup) is utterly seamless, its as if they’re the same bit of ink! I don’t recognise the stock brand of tee, but it feels pretty soft, and looks/wears like a fairly standard style fit.

One last thing to point out is the quality of packaging. I know that packagaing is often an afterthought in the tee label process, but Sascha Says have gone with the simple but elegant solution of putting the tee into black tissue paper and holding it together with a logo sticker. It adds a bit more to the t-shirt experience and kind of makes it feel like a present from them to you, admittedly, in my case it actually is a present, but I presume the feeling would be similar if you bought one…
