Caught this one before the newsletter, I knew something good would come out of getting up early toward (besides watching the sunrise across the bay)!

Go Ape are keeping up their impressive release schedule with this design from ‘theworksteady’ aka Colin Strandberg. I have utterly no clue what Strandberg was going for with this piece, except perhaps trying to make a face out of various elements. Whatever it means, it looks cool, so I’m happy.

ShirtCity recently gave themselves a rather shinier new look, which looks rather lovely, but that’s not really of interest to me today, I’m looking at Scribtee, their latest baby. If you look at their brand as a whole, ShirtCity offers a process and service similar to Spreadshirt, whilst Scribtee is much like Threadless (and laFraise, Split the Atom, Teetonic, etc., etc., etc.).

Whilst the idea itself is hardly original, they’ve got some great designs, and seem dedicated to keeping things limited (the first range of shirts is limited to 100 a piece, I’m not sure about future releases) and as environmentally responsible as possible (fair trade, organic, buzzword friendly tees from American Apparel and the increasingly popular Continental Clothing).

I’m sure some of you will groan and say “arrrghhhh!!! Another design competition!!!” But to me, as long as the quality is good the more the better.

Here’s the latest news of line releases from my inbox:

XLarge: If you like XLarge than I get the feeling that you’ll really like this new Fall range from them, lots of great gorilla-loving designs.

A.M.P Street: Leif has been keeping up an impressive release pace of limited edition tees so there’s bound to be something in there that’s new to you. Here’s my two favourites.

Glarkware: They dropped three pretty-damn-random designs earlier this month, that might tickle your fancy.

Wrongwroks: They dropped a few new hats and tees a couple of weeks ago, which was apparently a good enough reason to get their model in her underwear again (yeah, you’re clicking that link, aren’t ya?).

Mimoco Apparel: I was actually pretty excited when the guys from Mimoco e-mailed me about this, which I think proves just how much of a geek I am. The people that make those extremely coveted USB flash drives (which sometimes wear hoodies, I do believe), have branched out into thw rold of apparel and are now offering a selection of tees that have the USB flash-drive shape integrated into the designs. I know you’d think that sounds lame, but it actually works very well, on both a geeky and a non-geeky level.

Neighborhood - Technical Apparel: I usually hate Flash-based websites, but these designs are good enough to make me forgive them for that. More new stuff coming from them on October 22nd too, so make sure you check back for that. (notice that the date in the top tee design is the same as today? creepy?)

TenBills: They’ve ‘finally’ managed to get their latest line out of the door, and it’s a continuation/sequel to their first called, as it has been named ‘First Flight pt.II’ and is very much worth your click through, especially since they’re still just $10 bucks a pop (I bet the TenBills guys wish they’d bough fifteenbills.com!).

Nodiktat: For no reason other than that I drove through their hometown of Antibes on my way to Nice airport a couple of days ago and was reminded that I should check them out more often. So I did, noticed that they’ve got some great designs (including fantastic multi-coloured wallstickers), and thought that you guys might be interested too.

Triko seem like a good company, I’ve been meaning to write an article about the work they do to try and help the environment, but this will have to hold you over until then. Also, isn’t it about time I wrote about camo a bit more? Especially when they’ve actually gone to all the effort of trying to be original by giving the camo that interesting cloud treatment.

Pretty big day for them, I’m sure it’s not a significant milestone for them in any real world sense, but I’m sure that they felt pretty great when the order counter (which I assume isn’t a real thing) flashed up an one and lots of zeros. Here’s how they celebrated it:

Wow! Today Jublin, an active Threadless blogger who has had SIX of his submissions printed so far placed the millionth order on Threadless!

It is outrageously awesome that such an active participant on Threadless happened to have placed this monumental order. To celebrate, we have decided to ship Jublin every tee shirt we release for the next year… that’s over 450 tees! OMG.

We are also going to be giving the 999,999 person to order and the 1,000,001 person to order free 12 club subscriptions for being so dang close!

450 tees? That’s even more than I have!

Really cool stamp/pattern design, and if you’re a fan of owls (and who isn’t?) then this hoodie will have you hooting for joy!
(Oh yeah, I went there with an owl joke)

The inner hood lining really finishes this piece off well, a nice colour contrast. And you’ve got to say, Palmercash really know how to name their hoodies!

OMG! Monsieur T., their name sounds at least half French, and they opened their mailout with a hearty “Bonjour”! I simply must blog this!

Basically, their Fall/Winter line is going to be dropping pretty soon, and I guess they need to clear out some space because they’re having a big sale with up to 50% off some items, so check it out before the sale ends on the 21st.

I managed to fix the internet here in France (by turning it off and on again), although the router (one of many) has since been replaced by the home entertainment team (who have worked for ‘the other guy’ that owns Google, amongst others), negating my own achievements.

All this means that I will be able to keep a bit closer eye on things around here and might be able to post a few of the deals that land in my inbox. I should also be working my way through e-mail replies over the next few days, although the work schedule is pretty hectic and I’m often getting called away from one job to do another so there’s only so much time I can dedicate to HYA. Just thought I’d keep you all in the loop, and I’m posting little things over on my personal blog if you want to see how things are going.

Oh, and I think Threadless are having a sale just for hoodies, they’re all down to $25 for 24 hours starting from a few hours ago (if I remember the e-mail correctly). I was pretty impressed by the quality of the hoodie I’ve got from them, so check it out and grab yourself a bargain.

Great looking design, lots of interesting layering going on. The text is pretty funny too:

“Du må gjerne bli med meg hjem og se på frimerkesamlingen min” translates into “Feel free to follow me home and check out my stamp collection” in English, and is a well known pick-up line known by all Norwegians. So if you’re looking for those tall, blonde norwegian girls this is the shirt for you!

I wonder if that’s true?
