From the daily archives:
I’m heading off to Amsterdam tomorrow morning and I’ll hopefully be back late on Sunday night (as long as EasyJet doesn’t end up acting like… EasyJet). I was intending to get to posts written up to automatically post over the next few days, but unfortunately work has got in the way and I haven’t had the chance to do any. Sorry.
If anyone has any ideas for where I should go and what I should do in Amsterdam than feel free to leave a comment.

I’ve been getting quite a lot of e-mails from new (to me) brands recently, and whilst I do intend to point out some of the better looking items when I get a chance in the future, there’s a few in there that I’m not overly impressed by, but I thought I’d let you guys be the judge anyway.

Is it just me, or is the cut of this track jacket a bit futuristic? The day-glo blue is probably adding a bit to my perception as well, but I think that the brown parts help to level it out somewhat. Blurb:
“Faux vest style track jacket with zippered front and mock neck collar; front zippered pockets; ribbing at sleeve cuffs and waistband; leather brand applique small on front left chest with faux pocket and large on back; leather and gold Luxirie brand accents; cross stitch dertails; 95% cotton, 5% spandex.”

Yesterday Threadless announced that every time a design gets reprinted, the artist would be given $500.
Today, Design By Humans has set out their own payment structure for rewarding artists who create popular designs. Sell, 1000 tees, get $500, and then there’s varying levels of reward all the way up to $5000 for selling 10,000 tees.
The interesting thing to me is that I’m pretty sure Threadless print a minimum of 1500 tees (based on a figure I think I remember from last year, so its probably higher now) when they do a reprint, and whilst I’m no maths whizz, that ends up being less going to the artist per tee sold, right?
That said, Design By Humans doesn’t have the same amount of people buying their shirts as Threadless (at least not yet), so it would probably be considerably harder at the moment to sell 10,000 tees at DBH than it is at Threadless, but DBH are clearly showing themselves as a very serious potential rival to Threadless, and I’m sure that reward programmes like theirs are going to be getting them quite a lot of attention.
