11 Soft Touch Reviews: 2one5

2one5 pretty much came out of nowhere, a couple of months ago I hadn’t heard of them, and now they’re a staple amongst tee blogs, with new stuff coming from them on an almost weekly basis. I could easily get jaded about brands that are new to me since I see so many every week, but there’s something refreshingly earnest about 2one5 and their approach to design. They also happen to make some lovingly crafted tees. Yes, quite a few of their products are logo based in some kind of way (and I know a lot of people hate that), but a lot of the designs are really far removed from their regular logo, so it’s kind of like they’ve just used 2one5 as a starting point or theme for their lines.

I really like this tee, the design is big, bold and bright. I don’t really know why, but I get a kind of retro Spanish vibe from this design. I guess the retro part comes from the nuclear atom-like curves and dots at the top of the design, but the Spanish part? I have no idea where that came from. There’s quite a lot going on in the design, crowns, loops, bridge towers, stars, skylines, and even a baseball, but it doesn’t really feel too busy, it all just kinda fits together.

I don’t know what stock tee this is, but it feels pretty good, quite thick and heavy, but pretty soft at the same time. The printing is high quality too, there isn’t a single defect across the whole image, which is pretty impressive considering how large it is, the ink is on fairly thick so it’s a slightly raised print. I sometimes worry about how such a big print will work out when it’s washday in the HYA household, it’s usually an unfounded fear (never wash above 40 degrees!), but I often find that large prints are quite susceptible to cracking, so I’ll probably update this post in a few months after it’s had a good run (maybe I should do that with every tee?).
