In case you missed it:

When we started Threadless back in 2000, designs were printed using fairly basic screen printing methods. With the launch of our Select line in 2006, we began to encourage artists to explore new inks and printing techniques allowing them more creative involvement during production. We decided to end the separation between regular Threadless tees and Threadless Select tees by offering the use of all inks and printing techniques that we use for Select to any artist that submits.

This is super exciting for everyone! Before today, most chosen designs were printed with plastisol inks, some with a chino additive and a few with water-based or discharge inks. Starting today, designers can now use up to 8 colors, specify super glow, puff, high density, suede, UV color change, shimmer, metallic clear, glitter, blister, flock, vinyl, foils, embroidery, gradients, simulated process and even belt printing. Here’s a PDF explaining in detail each of the new capabilities.

…which is nice. Personally, I always thought that it was a bit weird that the Select people got options that the normie’s weren’t given access to. And whilst I know you’re thinking it, this move probably isn’t a reaction to Design By Humans printing options, us bloggers love the idea of Threadless vs. DBH, it just isn’t there.

Anyway, let’s start seeing some awesome designs with foil on them that I can spending my street team points on!

Straight from their mailout:

We just have a few updates to let you know about. First, we have reprinted three tees. Many Billers have requested them to be reprinted and they are now available in more colors than before. We will have pictures of the new colors up next week but we wanted to make them available asap.

Also- We are prepping our site for some big things and you can see some new changes made to the site. We are getting ready to launch some exciting new things in the near future so be on the look-out.

From now till Friday night, you can take $10 off all orders $50 or more with code: TAKETENOFF. Just add 5 or more shirts to your stash and use the coupon code at check-out.

We are also continuing the Free Shipping on all Domestic Orders $75 or more.

The new look appears to be a bit wider and clearer than before, which is nice since it was kinda bunched up on my widescreen before, and things just look a bit more polished in general.

I’ve said it before and I’ll reiterate it to prevent myself using a well-known phrase; innovation is usually in quite short supply when it comes to tees and hoodies, but Anticon do like to try and be different. Sure, its highly doubtful that they were the first to do a full-zip, but there’s were one of the first that I saw, and they also seem to be the first that the British tabloids saw and were outraged by (”rah rah, encourages crime, by immigrants, that cause MRSA, whilst kidnapping Madeleine, and obstructing the truth coming out about Diana!”).

Anticon have returned with a new version of their mask hoodies, this time being a being a bit more experimental with their designs, well, they actually have real designs to start with, not just lines around the eyes like the old versions had. The mexican wrestling mask in particular tickles my fancy, not because I actually want to wear it, just because it’s such a clever idea conceptually, and I’m actually quite surprised that I haven’t seen it before.

I have it on good authority (i.e. from the people that make them) that these are far better quality that the last ones they produced, although I don’t actually know what the old ones were like… still, onwards and upwards!
