A blog about hoodies & t-shirts

Leopard print skull hoodie (black) by Lipstick Prophets

I can’t decide whther this hoodie is emo or not, Lipstick Prophets is an emo name, and the model looks emo, but there’s just something about leopard print that reminds me more of middle-aged housewives than dudes that rock out and are comfortable with expressing their feelings. Still, its not every day that you see a leopard print skull.

Curtain Call (feat. Kate Moss) by Veece @ 80s Purple

I guess that chucking what appears to be a naked Kate Moss onto a t-shirt is a sure fire way to get some interest in your product, but to be fair to Veece, they’ve actually made something really innovative with this tee, with a surprisingly effective print to create the curtain effect. Hurrah for optical illusions!They’ve slapped their logo on the back of the tee though… so I’m taking off points!

The Magic Jebus Piece by Corner$tone Hero @ Karmaloop

I only picked this tee because of joke in the Simpsons where Homer shouts “save me Jebus!” for some reason. Seriously, that’s how I pick items for recommendation. I guess that the gold foil kind of attracted me to it as well… what can I say, I’m a foil addict!

I’ll just give you the blurb (which also contains the text of the print):

The Gbus Tee features a cotton composition, and a print on the chest of the illest deal on earth. A Magic Jebus-Piece for what? 19 Dollars! Get blessed with girls, money, more chains, and money! All of that for nineteen bills.

Here’s my issue with that, if you have “all that for nineteen bills” in the blurb, and “$19″ actually printed on the shirt, you should sell the tee for $19, not $36. I realise that its the ‘Magic Jebus-Piece’ that is being advertised as $19, but still, there just feel like there’s something wrong with having a price on a tee which is less than the price you paid for it, much like how I won’t wear anything with XXL on the print now that I’m not an XXL.

Bountee/MySoti Preview

Remember when I got a mysterious e-mail that “definitely wasn’t from Bountee” which leaked some of their redesign? Well, I have an update on the situation… a screengrab of Bountee’s new site.

Two words: pretty, sexy.

More words: If you click on the thumbnail below and take a look at the entire screengrab rather than my teasing crop you’ll notice that along the top of the image is the word ‘MySoti‘, which stands for My Stuff On The Internet, which is a web 2.0 name if I’ve ever heard one!

From what I can tell MySoti seems to be the next evolution of Bountee, they describe it as “a place for you to create, share and sell your original artwork on the Internet”, or Bounteex1000=MySoti. If you go to mysoti.com right now you can add your e-mail to sign up for the beta. Along the top of the image it also says, ‘bibyu‘ and ‘byoodoo‘, both those domains link back to MySoti, so I don’t know what to make of that, perhaps they’re also acronym’s for new services, or maybe the Bountee crew were just having a bit of fun.

They’ve also got some coupon codes on the go to apologise for some downtime that occurred this week, one for 20% which will be active until April 20th, 80UNTEE, and one for 50% off which will remain alive for 27 hours and 44 minutes after this post goes live (so 12:44 GMT on April 12th) which is BOUN733. Enter either code into the ‘Gift Code’ box during the checkout to receive the discount.

Nat wearing a SuperNAT-ure t-shirt

Are you all ready for some more Wrongwroks news? Or at the very least enjoy a bit of Nat-licious eye candy?It would seem that I’m not the only one smitten with the model, since she’s popped up on a few designs recently, the latest of which is a collaboration with a Singaporean store called Super Clique. You can also now get the embroidered Dorabob character on a red American Apparel track jacket with white raglan piping (which is a sweet colourway), and they’ve taken the WcDonald trucker hat (basically, the McDs logo upside down) super-stealthy by offering it in a black-on-black combo. As usual, this is probably all limited edition, so if you want it, go and get it… now.

I don’t really know what you guys think of a t-shirt with a photo of a girl in her bra, but I kind a like it, although I’m sure it would receive a few less-than-complimentary stares if I wore it to go shopping, and a few unwanted stares from drunk guys on a night out.

More pictures after the break (I haven’t done a ‘more’ for months, have I?)

Spreadshirt Shrink test AA tees

Spreadshirt, my favourite print-on-demand company, have carried out a test of American Apparel tees to what happens when you wash them 20 times. It turns out that they shrink, and that some shrink more than others.

It would be great if they carried out the same test with some of their other brands so that we’d be able to find a more scientific way of deciding which tee brands were the most consistent beyond “but this one feels better, I think.”

Check out the test on the Spreadshirt [EU] blog
