Owl Movement drop Series 6: Neverendingsummertime

September 21, 2007

Owl Movement have really carved out a niche for themselves, a niche that I like to think of as “great looking tees”, and series 6 is keeps that grand tradition going strong. The ‘Up Up Up’ design that I’ve picked out today is probably my favourite of the bunch, when I saw the thumbnail I [...]

Karmaloops’ $3000 t-shirt design competition

September 21, 2007

I guess that running a t-shirt design competition must be pretty infectious, because it almost feels like everyone’s doing it. Karmaloop have just thrown their hat into the ring, here’s the deets: Grand Prize winner will receive $2,000 in cold hard cash and $1,000 in gift certificate for use at Karmaloop.com, 5 free t-shirts printed [...]

Death is Nothing To Fear from Ghostly International

September 21, 2007

I like this tee, I’d be happy to wear it (happy feels like the wrong word when it comes to tees with skulls on them), but there’s something about looking at it that makes me feel as if Ghostly International aren’t doing their best to get the most out of the design, it just feels [...]

Wtf, Jason Lee models for Karmaloop?

September 21, 2007

I was working my way through my RSS feeds last night when there was a familiar face (well, mustache) on an unexpected source. The Karmaloop product feed. Jason Lee, who I don’t think most people would describe as ‘conventionally beautiful’, was modelling WeSC hoodies. I don’t think that they actually picked the best of the [...]

‘I don’t recall’ by Goats.com

September 21, 2007

I know no ones gonna believe that I found this on my own since a link to the same store turned up in the comments for yesterday’s webcomic tees post. But I promise I did, really, really!!! Even though when I look at Alberto Gonzales I’m more reminded of a turtle/beaver hybrid than an elephant, [...]

10 Great Tees from 10 Great Webcomics

September 20, 2007

[I would like to think that if I'd actually tried hard to make a comic it wouldn't have looked as lame] Y’know who’s pretty good at designing tees that are actually funny. Webcomic writers. It shouldn’t be surprising, and yet, here I am, a bit surprised. Crafting a tee that’s funny is a pretty tough [...]

Wrongwroks Fall Collection 2007 highlights

September 20, 2007

Wrongwroks have released their fall collection of tees, and in keeping with what seems to be a theme of theirs, all the designs are on white. There’s a couple of pieces that I think really stand out from the range. Whilst I’m sure that it won’t be long before the lawyers coming knocking on their [...]

Threadshow: This saturday in SF

September 20, 2007

As if I needed further proof that I need to get out of the Lake District (I’m already pissed that I’m missing 100% Design down in London) I’ve found out about this cool looking ‘Fashion Shopping Event’ called Threadshow that’s going on in San Fransisco at the weekend. Lots of great brands are going to [...]

‘Drop Skully Not Bombs’ by Monstar Clothing

September 20, 2007

I l-o-v-e the dedication to hand-drawn style in this tee, it looks like it came straight out of a school notebook. It’s also good to see Monstar dropping their skully logo into all their designs and keeping it all contextual, they’ve kind of got a Johnny Cupcakes thing going on in that respect. Costiness=$20 URL

Review: PB&J Wrestling by GorillaTank

September 19, 2007

Here’s something curious, GorillaTank price everything up in pounds, yet my package came from The Netherlands, where you’d usually expect them to work in Euro’s, since that’s their currency and all. I guess that doesn’t really matter since my package turned up in a reasonable time and that’s the main issue that concerns people when [...]

Major League hoodie by 2one5

September 19, 2007

Once again, I think I’m dropping an exclusive here (HYA gets more like Hypebeast everyday!). 2one5 are going to be releasing some (presumably customised) Jordan 8s this week, and this hoodie is going to be part of that release. This Houston Astros/2one5 logo mashup has really grown on me over the past few months and [...]

The Mexi-Beads Zip Hood by Freshjive

September 19, 2007

I think this hoodie can be filed under ‘safe to be worn to church’, but only if you’re Catholic, right? Catholics are the ones that use the beads? Whilst I don’t think that you really need to be religious to were this hoodie, it would really want to put me off wanting to buy that [...]

Hardwear by Red Tide Clothing

September 19, 2007

Olly Moss is a name that seems to keep popping up all over the tee world, and with good reason too, he makes great designs. This design from Red Tide Clothing doesn’t really fit with his usual style, but I still like it, it kind of makes me feel as if he’s drawing the contents [...]

Seibei goes to Renegade Chicago

September 19, 2007

It’s a real pity that we don’t have this kind of community in the UK (at atleast that I know of, if you know different please let me know), hey, maybe I could start one? Nah, sounds like work. Anyway, HYA buddy David from Seibei was at the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago this weekend [...]

Threadless Store Grand Opening video

September 19, 2007

Threadless Store Grand Opening from cshimala on Vimeo. I think that pretty much everything that could be said about the Threadless retail store, has been said, luckily I don’t need to say anything, this video does it all for me.

Random Robots by Me&Yu @ Brand Neusense

September 18, 2007

I will never stop writing about robots! Yeah, the picture is way to small for me to really tell what is on the hoodie, but I trust Me&Yu’s skills enough to recommend something that I can’t really make out, my best guess would be some kind of robots and love theme, robot/human relationships perhaps? People [...]

Time to go Lhome

September 18, 2007

Kieran, the man behind LHOME, is one of the people that I like to say, “gets it.” I think that me and him are pretty much on a level as to what good t-shirt design is about. He doesn’t want his line to be about logos, because when other people do that it doesn’t excite [...]

Butterfly Effect by Ban T-shirts

September 18, 2007

You all know how political t-shirts make me uneasy, even though I’m sure I could probably write about anti-Bush shirts all day and still get traffic from it, but this one from Ban T-shirts is really spot on. It’s subtle, a positive message, and a really well put together design. And it’s on a baby [...]

Housekeeping: Archives no longer suck

September 18, 2007

I got an e-mail from someone yesterday chastising me for not having pictures in the archives and on the second page of the blog (single posts still looked right though), telling me to loosen the purse strings and shell out for the extra bandwidth needed to serve up all the images, when in reality I [...]
