I always like it when tee companies are aware that they aren’t reinventing the wheel, which is why it is pretty refreshing to see that Nuda Tees have given themselves the slogan of “yet another t-shirt site, but for really, really hip people.” Although its not exactly the perfect slogan, because without wanting to alienate some of the readers, how hip are people who get the reference in this tee?

This tee is pretty ‘hip’ though (whatever the hell that word really means), it looks more like it should be framed up on a wall rather than across my chest, and the more I look at it the more that I like it. As a concept its pretty cool, normality on the top and a severe contrast underneath, it kind of feels to me as if its kind of a day/night contrast, but that’s only because we sometimes have bats fling around our house at night.

Let’s talk quality. The tee is printed on a Gildan heavyweight tee, which to those of you who are unaware is a regular fit kind of tee, fairly boxy, and also quite think cotton. They also seem to last for a long time, although there is a bit of fall-off in terms of softness after a few washes. Print quality feels impressive too.

*Nuda Tees, much like almost every other tee site do accept designs submissions, but unlike most tee companies offer a very competitive rate of $2 per tee sold*

This tee is way too good to have sat in my inbox for at least a fortnight, so sorry about that. This tee, known as Monstabash, is Kotton.de’s first printed tee, which the Swiss designer is hoping will lead onto great things, and judging by the look of the other designs that are on the rather slick Flash-based website I can see him getting some considerable attention in the future.

The pictures of the other tees that are on the site are just photos of the test prints at the moment, but I’m sure that if there is enough interest in Monstabash that the other designs will be available soon.

The site is almost entirely in German at the moment, there is an English version in the works, but the site isn’t too hard to navigate even if your German is about as good as mine (…terrible).

Grey on grey, some would say its a bit of a risky choice, but when you give the print a vintage look like T5S have, then I think it works really well, it kind of has a rock-like edge to it.

Also, whilst I’m no expert on female tailoring, I do dig how this piece runs slightly long, and having the ‘mock’ neck is pretty interesting too, although I wouldn’t be all that sure how you’re meant to wear it, like, can it be treated as a large collar or is it meant to point up?
