00001colorblokjesa Colour Bloks by Universe on a T shirt

It has been far, far too long since we’ve taken a look at Universe on a T-shirt, but I guess that absence makes the heart grow fonder since I’ve fallen in love with their designs all over again. It’s also nice to see that HYA is still on their press page too.

The tees still don’t really have names or descriptions (some have partial names in their image files), but in the case of UoaT I actually prefer not having a description because their designs are so ambiguous that I like thinking about my own interpretations, so i guess I’d be kind of spoiling it for you if I told you what I thought this tee was about.

Devolution by RRP OFF

devolution modelb Devolution by RRP OFF

Oh look, a t-shirt with a robot on it, how very unusual for HYA!

There’s quite a lot of tees out there that riff on the traditional image of monkey-to-man evolution, and I think that this one can stand proudly amongst them… because of the big robot on it. Also, you’ve got to applaud RRP OFF for having some of the strangest promo pics that I’ve seen in a long time.

TvHood by Soliloquy Clothing

tvnav1 TvHood by Soliloquy Clothing

I know that in practically every self-improvement article I read says that if you stop watching as much TV then your life will be better… lies. At no point in my life have I ever thought that I watch too much TV, if anything I need to watch more, I’ve never watched any 24, Alias or Sopranos, and just two episodes of Carnivale, which looked pretty amazing. Any other great show that you think might have slipped under my radar?

So, with that in mind, I am philosophically opposed to this hoodie, unless they’re just trying to find a fun way of destroying antiquated TVs…

4519 22 1 Imagine by casajordi @ Design By Humans

I keep hearing rumblings that Design By Humans is ‘taking over’ Threadless as the design competition to keep your eyes on. Personally, I think of them as serving separate markets, even if some of the artists submit designs to both sites, DBHs style is definitely evolving in a way that moves it away from Threadless.Industry-musing aside, this is a great looking tee and yet another solid release, it reminds me of Imaginary Foundation’s style (hmmm, I wonder why), casajordi has done a great job of putting a lot of elements, yet somehow managing to balance it and not make the design feel too busy.Costiness=$19 Link

shirts licks How Many Licks? by Ian Leino @ Threadless

Even if you don’t recognise the name, I’m sure you’ll recognise some of his previous Threadless winners, one of which has a great shot at winner a Bestee when the Threadless awards are announced soon. Also, I should probably mention that I got the above picture from his site, since it showed off the design and the tee better than the fun pics on the Threadless site, but I don’t think it will annoy him too much since it helps expose his design.

If you get your kicks from faux-vintage, faux-technical, faux-factual designs then I’m sure you’re a pretty happy chappy (or chapette) having taken a look at this design. The colourway looks really nice as well, it keeps the illusion of old paper going pretty well.

sowear 1988 71296929 The Hooded Waistcoat in plaid by Hazelnut @ Stars + Infinite Darkness

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I like to point it out when I see an interesting hoodie, even if I personally wouldn’t buy it. One of the reasons why I usually wouldn’t buy these items is because they’re made for women, beyond that Volcom hooded blazer that I, shall we say, wasn’t particularly fond of, there just aren’t too many innovative hoodies out there for guys, unless we start getting into the arena of items made for hikers and walkers.

I like this hoodie, the massive hood conjours up images of little red riding hood, and the plaid gives you so many options when layering it with other items. But I would love to know where the hoodie she’s wearing under the plaid one comes from, since the two pieces seem to work well together. It might be this hoodie, but I think that’s grey and has too smaller hood, still, just because I can’t find the picture combo doesn’t stop this from being a great looking piece.

Heath Ledger by Cyana Boutique

February 25, 2008

Am I the only one who feels a little bit uncomfortable when companies sell items that have recently deceased celebrities on them. I’m sure that its intended to be a fashion-based tribute to Heath, but when they charge $45 for the tee they must be making a profit on it, and whether they mean to [...]

Rebel With Too Much Cause by 1Soul Designs

February 22, 2008

Do you ever get kind of depressed that there are just so many issues nowadays that need people’s help? It sometimes feels like if something exists then there is a high likelihood that something is trying to kill it, and that there are some people trying to save it. Can’t we just have something that [...]

FFFFOUND! by ummm… FFFFOUND!

February 22, 2008

Ok, I know that I pretty much never post anything from Cafepress shops, but since FFFFOUND! provides so much eye candy every day I thought I’d give their tees a shout out, even if I’m sure that there’s enough creative talent amongst their members to muster up something . Costiness=$28.99 Link

83-C by Adidas @ Karmaloop

February 22, 2008

I think that this might be the first time that I’ve posted a track jacket that might actually be appropriate at the track… can you feel history being made? I think that if I was to wear this in the UK, I would be labeled a chav, and with good reason too, I can imagine [...]

Helsinki by Heatherette @ Mod Cloth

February 21, 2008

I went to Helsinki for an afternoon once (I get around, don’t I?) and all I remember is a big church, eating reindeer carbonara, buying a reindeer rug that fell apart a few months later, and becoming sea sick… on land. We were on a cruise and when we got off at Helsinki I felt [...]

Manbot by Palmercash

February 21, 2008

When I first looked at this I just figured it was a badass looking robot, which was enjoying a few nods towards knights of the round table style armour. Then I saw the little blurb, “Manbot just wants to party.” I was immediately transferred to a world where Manbot was a raging fratboy, doing kegstands [...]

Mujer Fatale by Obey @ Karmaloop

February 21, 2008

Again with the black and white prints, I guess that since they’re starting to fill up my wardrobe it just makes sense that they’d start to fill up the blog!I don’t speak much Spanish (un cerveza, por favor!), but i think that ‘mujer fatale’ might be the Spanish equivalent of ‘femme fatale’ (or not, something [...]

Alcott by Mike & Chris @ Rare Chic

February 20, 2008

Despite being incredibly simple, I like this hoodie, although not enough to justify the the high price tag: Another phenomenal hoodie by Mike & Chris. Incredibly soft grey fleece with a contrasting sulfur green stripe across the chest. Welt pockets and gold tone hardware. 80% Cotton, 20% Polyester. Running true to size. Whilst I don’t [...]

A New Idea by sirbeauris @ Design By Humans

February 20, 2008

One of my pet peeves about the green movement is that its all a bit in your face or ecotistical, so to find a tee that both supports the little changes that everyone can make, and is pretty funny is really refreshing. Do you think that when you have an idea using a CFL bulb [...]

Dr. Doom by Sneaktip @ Karmaloop

February 20, 2008

I’ve got an old French Connection windbreaker (80% off, bargain!) that’s called Dr. Doom, I think they called it that because it has a bit of a Dr. Evil thing going on, and that was what first drew me to this hoodie. The Sneaktip logo across the chest on the front almost pushed me away [...]
