I don’t why it is that I feel that I can make fun of Teetonic just because they’re a Scottish company,but I promise, I do love them really!

And yet another reason to be a fan of them is that they’re ‘going green’ by switching over to organic fair trade cotton tees. Here’s the announcement from their mailout:

“Teetonic.com are pleased to announce that we are going green! We are currently sourcing fair trade organic, cotton tees which will be hitting the shop in the next few weeks. This isn’t some sort of fad, this is something we genuinely believe in, and shows once again that teetonic.com is ahead of the rest! Moving forward with our new range, we hope to phase out our old stock and existing tees. Our first organic tee will be Scissors vs Rock vs Paper by ‘Davec’. More info on this will follow over the next couple of weeks.”

I don’t know if they’re going to be switching to organic inks as well, but I don’t know if that is even possible, maybe one day. They also have a new tee out that from a competition that they ran with the Scottish version the Page 3-loving The Sun.

Brooklyn Industries released a new wave of goodies and I was so impressed that I thought I’d mention three of their products. The first is this fairly simple, yet rather stylishly impressive hoodie, which I think would be set off quite well if paired up with a big-print tee. Costiness=$72 URL

Lovin’ the colourway on this, although I don’t really know what that green squiggle thing is down on the bottom left. And I guess its a bit topical since Britain has been under clouds for what feels like months. Costiness=$28 URL

This is a bit of a departure from the other two items, so I guess there isn’t really a unifying theme to the new designs, but it doesn’t them from being damn good! I’m sure they’re just sticking true to an old advert, but I don’t really know if having two gramophones if really all that necessary to the design. Costiness=$28 URL

Just for a change, I’m going to tell you not to buy something, because NerdyShirts has got a 25% off sale coming up on Monday, so if you were going to buy a tee or two it’d probably worth waiting a few days. Here’s some blurb:

“Starting Monday morning, NerdyShirts will be running a sitewide
25% off sale. Our standard shirt price of $20 will drop to $15 for
a limited time. All of our gear, from t-shirts to undies to accessories,
will be marked down.”

So, anyone in the house of HYA into marriage equality rights? I saw quite a lot gay and lesbian couples in Amsterdam, and saw a hobo at the homomonument (I love that rhyme), and I can’t really see a reason why they shouldn’t be allowed to have similar rights to male-female couples. Obviously, this tee is all about giving gay couples those kinds of rights, and a proportion of all sales goes to organisations promoting marriage equality.

File this under pointless but fun: Threadless has a real-time map of orders being placed on their site, I dunno if they’ve had this for ages, but it does feel like they only way that they were going to cram some kind of google maps mashup onto Threadless.

Check it!

This news is about 6/7 hours old by now (I’m still working through a big RSS feed backlog, 1774 items read already today!) so I’m not sure if these will still be available, as Cool Hunting is a wildly popular blog, but they’re exclusively selling some rather lovely looking Space Invaders hoodies for $150 (inc. US shipping).

Without getting all informercial on you, if you want it, e-mail in your order now!

Linky linky linky!

If only it weren’t a fake!

I spotted this at a flea market on the Waterlooplein in Amsterdam, a long with a whole host of other ripoffs, including one of those Che Guevara tees where the guy looked like me rather than Che.

The printing was absolutely terrible, otherwise I might have actually been tempted to drop €25 on it since I don’t think Threadless have ever offered this design as a hoodie.

For the first few years of this decade/century, I pretty much only wore black tees, largely because my t-shirt collection was a bit of a who’s who of pop-punk band tees, and those guys did love a bit of black, nowadays my wardrobe is a veritable rainbow, but I do still enjoy a well designed black tee, especially as its a rather more slimming colour than most!

Loving this! To be honest, I don’t really get it conceptually, is there a story behind it? Still, it just looks great, especially with the rather subdued colourway options that are being offered by Oddica.

This is just one of nine new items that have been added to the Oddica shop today, some are new designs, and some are old designs printed on new apparel, such as polos or tank tops.

Man, how many coupon codes are flying around at the moment?

No Star Clothing who are far better than their lack of HYA-love suggests, have got some cool new designs coming, and I guess that in celebration of the new releases (or maybe just ‘cos its summer) they’re giving you a generous 20% off your order when you spend $20 or more in their store. The coupon code is ‘SUMMER07‘ and whilst there is no published end date for the coupon, my guess is that it will last until… the start of Autumn?

Check it out! (I don’t think all the new stuff is in the store yet, so keep an eye out)
