Hot Dog Show by Reax Magazine

REAX hotdogYEL Hot Dog Show by Reax Magazine

It’s not often that I’ll write a post about a tee that comes from a magazine I’ve never read or even heard of before, but there’s something about a repeating print of yellow hot dogs that really tickles me. I just don’t think I’d be able to wear this and not be in a good mood.

Cotton Filter: 280907

by Andy on September 28, 2007

End of the week, time to clear things out:

Gridskipper: A pretty cool map from GSkip of 6 t-shirt shops in San Fransisco that are apparently rather good.

Stereo Panda: “Finally our full stock on tees (short and long sleeves) and sweaters has landed ! All colors and sizes are now available for your shopping pleasure.”#

Tee and Toast: “Tee and toast were very happy to collaborate with the folks at Oxjam Belfast to come up with this limited edition t-shirt. Oxjam Belfast is a unique music experience that aims to stage as many music events as possible throughout the month of October to raise money for Oxfam Ireland.

All profits to OXFAM IRELAND – so the more we sell, the more dosh oxfam gets,
we guarantee at least £8 from this sale will be going to charity – if not more. yeah icon smile Cotton Filter: 280907

Quixotic Clothing gets freshened up

quixoticclothing Quixotic Clothing gets freshened up

‘Tis the season apparently, site redesigns seem to be coming in thick and fast (three! in a week!). Quixotic is the latest to receive a make over and Brad has done a great job with it, with a look that is pretty reminiscent of his efforts over at Indie-Threads. There’s also some great new designs up in the store, some of them aren’t quite ready for sale yet, but they aren’t far off.

Check it out! Quixotic Clothing

100 Anthropomorphic tees (1-50)

by Andy on September 27, 2007

title2 100 Anthropomorphic tees (1 50)

Anthropomorphism is huge when it comes to tee design, especially on design-competitions like Threadless and Split The Atom. I guess people just like seeing animals and inanimate objects being put into human situations, or maybe a jar of mayonnaise is easier to draw than people…

I realise that despite the broadness of anthropomorphism as a defined term (pretty much anything that isn’t human acting with human qualities or traits), some of these tees are fairly questionable as to whether they are actually anthropomorphic or merely drawn in a way that makes them appear that like that. But hey, why argue semantics when there’s great looking tees to look at!

The 100 tees have been split into two posts because 100 in the list would just be far too long of a page.

(Please note that some of these tees, especially the ones from Threadless, may have sold out between the time of me writing this and you reading it)

*Update* If you’re on the hunt for long lists of t-shirts, check out this huge collection of t-shirt lists (from lots of different sites, not just this one), or the lists category. Also, if you enjoyed this post, it would be very much appreciated it if you mentioned it on twitter, facebook, or another other form of social media like digg, stumbleupon or delicious.

Robot Army hoodie by Me&Yu

by Andy on September 27, 2007

me&yurobotarmy Robot Army hoodie by Me&Yu

I never really intended for HYA to become the hub of all robot based clothing on the ‘net, and yet, here we are!

Me&Yu have got such a great style, they seem to be able to make really simple images look amazing, and somehow, just by having two colours printed on this hoodie makes it look so much better (I would imagine) than if they’d just used one colour.

1/2 price tees at Imperfect Articles

by Andy on September 27, 2007

From their mailout:

Beginning today, for the next 5 days (til Tuesday, October 2), all of the shirts in our website store are half price! That’s $17.50 a shirt. You heard me right. I’ll say it again, $17.50 a shirt! We only have a few shirts left of most designs, so don’t wait too long to see what’s available.

(The shirt description will show the normal price — $35 — but it will ring up $17.50 when you place a shirt into the shopping cart).

We are finalizing the roster for our fall run and will be announcing the line-up soon. We have some amazing shirts coming up…

Get on it!

There’s Nowhere to Hide by Keithmore @ Design By Humans

September 27, 2007

DBH, how on Earth do you manage to keep up the quality of your tees? Today’s $750 winner is great, well illustrated, good space and sizing, well used metallic ink highlights (the stars, presumably) and even a bit of social commentary thrown in for good measure too. Costiness=$19 URL

Improvising Electronic Devices is Not a Crime

September 27, 2007

Picture credit, P. Torrone. When I first heard about this story, I just thought it was the mooninites all over again, a big over-reaction by the authorities, but now that I’ve seen the hoodie that Star Simpson was wearing I can understand how someone could have acted upon instinct when they saw a circuit board [...]

Beach hoodie by Angry Retail

September 27, 2007

Pretty simple looking hoodie, but I quite like it, the black outer works really well with the blue inner lining of the hood. Sometimes you don’t need a crazy pattern or design, just something that looks good. Costiness=€70 URL

EIO Clothing massive sale

September 26, 2007

EIO (Excess is OK!) are dropping their Winter collection in the middle of October (it looks awesome, trust me), and one must presume that they need to make some room because they have a massive sale going on for their summer range. They’ve got some great pieces and they’re up to 70% off. EIO Clothing

Design By Humans looks shiny like a robot

September 26, 2007

Design By Humans got a new look recently and I think it’s an improvement on the old look, I haven’t had a proper poke around yet but on the face of it everything seems to make a lot more sense. Everything is laid out simply and you can get to where you want to be [...]

Public domain gets some exposure… in public

September 25, 2007

I knew it! I knew I’d be able to cram Halo 3 into my posts this week! HYA’s copy of H3 is on pre-order so I guess it won’t be turning up tomorrow on the European release date, so we’ll have to wait a while before you all kick my ass on multiplayer, but thanks [...]

The IT Crowd S2E5: Roy wears 7 tees!

September 25, 2007

Damn you IT Crowd! Hunting down tees was easy when he was only wearing one or two a week, but then they had to go and through me a curve ball (although, they are in the IT department, so the throw might not have reached) and make Roy wear 7 tees. One of them was [...]

Gabriel @ Faveur Clothing

September 25, 2007

It’s been a while since I checked in with Faveur Clothing, and when I saw their latest newsletter in my Gmail I was pretty impressed with their new designs, and this ‘Gabriel’ hoodie is from their latest crop. It’s a pity I can’t make out what any of the word coming out of the trumpet [...]

A t-shirt flipbook… wah?

September 25, 2007

This vid is doing the rounds today, and I’m a big fan of stop motion video (here’s one of my own efforts) so I got a kick out of this. It’s a pretty odd way to promote a sandwich chain though. Ebert & Gerbert’ Human Flipbook [via notcot]

‘Betty Ford’ by Concrete Hermit

September 25, 2007

CH two days in a row? I really am spoiling you! Really nice one colour design, I love seeing green on white, it just feels like a really fresh combo, and JuJu Delivery (which is an odd name for an artists) has an almost effortless style to her graphics that really appeals to me.

Scrabble @ Poketo!

September 24, 2007

Click through. Now. You need to see the detailed view of this tee for it to really make sense. The concept is what draws you in, but the execution is what would actually make you want to buy it. Oh, and I love that in their blurb for the artist (Marc Atlan) they name drop [...]

Beautiful/Decay Redesign

September 24, 2007

Beautiful/Decay have redesigned their site, it looks good, although not really in the style that I would expect from them. One cool little feature that they’ve introduced is the ‘public feed’, that’s the box on the left there, where you can post your own topics/links and they get displayed on the front page. That sounds [...]

The Blueprint by Village Hill @ the Kazbah

September 24, 2007

This design is probably a bit too busy for my liking, but I’ve got to admire them for the idea, and I really like the way that the outside and inside contrast on the hood. Actually, I just straight up like the inside pattern, although I couldn’t see myself wearing this on the reverse, although [...]

Concrete Hermit Gallery is open!

September 24, 2007

Okay, so it hasn’t had as much buzz as the Threadless opening, but I’m really happy that Concrete Hermit have managed to get past the myriad of obstacles that have stood in the way of them opening their store and are well on their way to having their first show there (which might already be [...]
