Andre from A Better Tomorrow dropped me a line a few days ago to let me know about their upcoming allover tee who Benny Kohl (whose Scribtee I reviewed back in November). Allover design are still hot property, and this one is a lot less jarring than some that you see, I can imagine it working nicely with quite a simple zip up hoodie.No word on when it will be available but expect it fairly soon.

Our friends over at Fat Rabbit Farm dropped me a line to let me know about their latest ridiculously cute design. It’s called Ninja Attack and is a continuation of this design, called “FRF Platoon.” Its a little hard to make out the image, but it sticks to their tried and true formula of being cute and funny in an almost equal measure. This design also marks FRFs second foray into the world of zip-up hoodies, though it is also available as a womens tee.If you click through you’ll also notice that they’ve redesigned the site, and also have some comics for you to look through that are drawn in the same style as the tees.

I’m not really a Radiohead fan, I’ve got nothing against them like a lot of people do (I can’t see this whole ‘ooooh, I don’t want to listen to radiohead ‘cos I don’t want to slit my wrists’ nonsense), I’ve just never had that much of a draw towards their music, free or otherwise. I do however, think that this tee is pretty funny, even is most of the time when I see interviews with Thom Yorke he appears to be in a pretty happy mood. I love the description of this tee too:

thom yorke has a funny eye, and 22% of the letters in his name are redundant.

Very true, very true.

Mishka NYC are having a one day sale to celebrate Eli and the Giants winning the Superbowl (pretty good game, right guys?), so I guess that even if you are a Patriots fan then you can at least console yourself with savings. The Mishka team must have been pretty excited about the win, because I got sent the e-mail four times, but I’m just going to repeat parts of it once:

Well, well… the underdogs came out on top today, and in honor of our hometown NY Giants walking away victorious at the Super Bowl, we’re going to have one Giant sale… and I mean, GIANT SALE!

We’re so delirious in joy that, to celebrate, EVERYTHING on our site is 50% off, whatever the previous lowest marked price was. Yes, that means for one day there are tees as low as $7, New Eras as low as $12.50, and jackets lower than $40 a pop! Have we gone crazy? Yes, but only temporarily… and we want to spread our joy onto all of you outside NY, too!

But in 24 hours, this sale is over with! We’ll get back to our senses, things will be back to normal prices, and our celebrating will be done. No exceptions. When the clock strikes midnight EST tomorrow, this ends. So no emails at 2am on Feb 5th going “Pleeeeeasseeeeeee, I just saw this!”

We all know that Obey are on top of the tree when it comes to streetwear (well, hanging out in the top branches at the very least), and this all-over print is a good example of that. There’s a lot going on, and yet it doesn’t feel all that jarring on the eye, which is something I often find with all-over prints. The three repeating emblems look pretty badass, too.Costiness=$43.99 Link

Okay gang, I’m going to class up the joint by kicking off each day (UK time, you Californians will be getting your dose of culture before bedtime) with a tee from Simon Faircliff, who is a friend of a guy that I lived with at university.Simon spends about six hours crafting each t-shirt. The designs aren’t printed, he sketches out each design on the tee in pencil before filling it in using using fabric paint. As such, Simon isn’t exactly mass-producing these tees, but if you really, really, really want one, e-mail me through the contact form and put the wheels in motion.

The source for todays tee is the title page of a Russian Futurist manifesto published in 1913, presumably this one. The text says (when translated into English) “A slap in the face of public taste” which I was a little surprised by, as it didn’t feel as grand of a statement as you’d expect from any kind of a manifesto. If you’d like to learn more about Russian Futurism you could take a look this Wikipedia page. I like the style of the tee, although I guess that’s because cyrillic is so indecipherable to me, I dunno what the little pointing hand is about though, maybe its some kind of a nod towards the futurism?
