So, I live in a ’surveillance society’, there are about 4.2 million CCTV cameras in Britain, and even though I live in the peaceful countryside, I went into a store today where the level of monitoring is to the extent where there were microphones subtly hidden about the place, something that other customers, and possible even employees, wouldn’t have been aware of. So it’s hardly a surprise that when Glass Boutique had a competition to pick their next designs that an image of two cameras facing each other was the eventual winner.

To be honest, I don’t really know why there’s two cameras staring at each other, maybe the idea is that Britain is now so dangerous that even the CCTV cameras are scared and need to watch over themselves (which, by the way, isn’t true). Why’s one camera upside down? No idea, but the way that the pole the camera is on goes all the way up to the shoulder is a really nice touch, especially with the symmetry of the pole running to the bottom hem of the tee. The graphic itself has a slightly fuzzy quality to it, perhaps this is a reference to the low quality images that we see from CCTV cameras on the news?

I know that this is a really weird thing to say about a tee, and it isn’t a test that I perform all the time, but this tee smelt really good, yeah, I experience more fresh tees than a lot of people, but this one smelt really fresh! It felt great too, I don’t recognise the stock brand, but it sure is soft, about as thick as a heavy tee (though not feeling as heavy), and I would describe the fit as somewhere between an athletic fit and a regular shaped tee. Overall, its a quality product that matches up to the expectations that I had of Glass Boutique.
