I usually try and let news items build up a bit before I post…. I may well have left things for a bit too long this time, since I’ve got almost a dozen sites/items for you to check out. Also, sorry about not posting on Friday, but when the sun is shining on Cumbria you’ve really got to make the most of it!
Rosa Loves: Very cool idea, even if they don’t spell it out simply enough on the info section of their site. As far as I can tell, tees are designed with certain real life stories as the inspiration, and some of the proceeds from the sale goes towards helping the people in the stories. Whether you’re down with the charity aspect or not, the tees look good, and the web site is nicely designed.
Shirt A Day: I was pretty skeptical of this site at first… when I didn’t understand it. Now I understand, and I like it. Shirts go on sale for one day, and one day only, the more people order the shirt the cheaper it becomes, at the end of the day everyone pays the final price (so everyone pays the lowest price in the end). Tees are then typically printed and shipped out in 4 days. The designs I saw were pretty good, although I guess they can be quite adventurous with their designs since don’t print up tees before they’re on the site, so they’ll have no stock lying around if they offer a lemon of a design.
Planet Truth: I’m not sure how much more environmentally friendly organic tees are compared to regular ones, but they probably use less water and chemicals (I think I read that in WorldChanging, not sure), and Planet Truth have some decent designs, so do your conscience a favour and check them out.
Oddica hoodie Blowout: One of my favourite online stores are selling off their hoodies cheap for the rest of the month, I can testify that they’re nicely made and printed, so buy with confidence.
Imperfect Articles: Hands on review of them coming up sometimes next week (tomorrow, probably) but I like their designs so much that I thought I’d give them a mention anyway.
Aloha Victory: Only a small collection of tees at the moment but very cool all the same, some with a slightly retro vibe. I know what you’re thinking, they’re Hawaiian, nope, Florida. Yeah, I thought that was weird too. Oh yeah, they offer free shipping, yay!
AMP Street: Some fantastic designs from this Bangkok outfit, definitely worth a click and a few minutes of your time. I know it’s not exactly my area of expertise, but their bags look pretty cool. I’m very impressed with these guys, can’t wait to see what else they do.
Human Empire: Yeah, I’ve mentioned them before, but they e-mailed me and I was reminded just how good their designs were, how’s about you get reminded too?
Rote Raupe*: I’d never heard of Rote Raupe before, probably because I don’t speak German, but I really like this little project they’ve got going. Every three months they’re going to release a limited edition t-shirt by some of their favourite artists. In December it was Yack Fou, who I’ve mentioned a few times before, and this month it’s Human Empire, who I mentioned a couple of sentences ago. Hmmm, an indie website releasing clothes by their favourite designers, now there’s a thought…
[2 one 5] sale: Everything in the branded collection is down to $20.
Danger Russ: Fresh off having a design printed by Threadless as both a tee, a hoodie, and even baked as a cake, Taylor isn’t resting on his laurels, he’s trying to shift some of his old hoodies that were previously HYA mentioned, and offering a Threadless Gift Certificate contest as a sweetener on the deal. Click through to have it explained in a much better way.
Crooked Monkey: I know some people groan when they hear the term ‘funny college shirts’, and I would count myself among those people, but I must say that Crooked Monkey are of a higher quality than most, they’ve actually got some original ideas, and you wouldn’t be ashamed letting your mother wash them (which is always a big consideration for me!).
