A blog about hoodies & t-shirts

Clearly Social-T are trying to help me impress the ladies in my life (free t-shirts=love, right?), seeing as they’ve sent over this girlie sized version of their April ‘issue’. Since I covered their subscription model fairly extensively in my last review of Social-T it seems a little silly to go over the entire process again just a week later, so if you missed the first review then check out this post and you’ll find out what sets Social-T apart from other t-shirt companies.

Most of Social-Ts shirts have a social message or issue attached to them, and that is the case with this design. This one takes a look at over-development and pollution in coastal areas, and how that is threatening surf spots. I know, there are bigger things to worry about than where people can go surfing (of course, I don’t surf, so I would say that), but I’m sure that if I lived in a place where the water was rather more inviting then I’d be all over this like a rash, a rash that I would have presumably got from pollution in the water whilst surfing. The 20 spots are listed on the back of the tee in a highly, highly, stylised font, so it doesn’t look like a bands tour t-shirt, which is always a danger when you’re putting a list on the back of a tee.

The quality level, as you’d expect if you read the last review, is pretty damned good. The stock tee is once again provided by American Apparel, I don’t have much experience of wearing girls tees, as you’d imagine, so I can’t really tell you much about the cut, but it feels just as soft as the guys ones and that’s good enough for me. The print feels a little bit thicker than the other Social-Ts that I’ve reviewed, but that might just be because this tee has the largest coverage of print of the three I’ve seen. It isn’t a big issue though, the printing is still of a high-quality. As with their other tees, there is info printed on the inside neck of the tee instead of a hang tag, so there’s not even a chance of tag-showing embarrassment.

cnnshirt 40lb chunk of metal hits driver in face by CNNshirt

I think that this t-shirt makes a pretty good example for why CNNs idea to put news headlines onto t-shirts is a bit stupid. I didn’t write about it a few weeks ago when it went live because I couldn’t really understand why a person would buy a tee that had a news headline on it (unless, perhaps, it was a historical one like ‘Dewey defeats Truman‘) and this tee that I found on Digg is a pretty good example of that. I guess its funny, but only because it points out how silly this headline t-shirt idea is, although I must give props to Spreadshirt for getting such a big name client to use their API.

Want a free t-shirt?

I was on teeburst a couple of days ago and noticed a Digg story about free t-shirts. Well, we all know how I get ‘free’ t-shirts (how free are they when I spend about 2 hours writing about each one and taking photos?), but I’d like to be able to help you guys get free t-shirts too, so I gave it a quick look.

I can’t make any guarantees on whether the links are still good or if the tee you receive will be of good quality, but hey, free is free, and you get what you pay for.

grand-theft-auto-lrg-hoodie-1 LRGs Dead Serious hoodie turns up in GTA 4

Like a lot of people across the globe I picked up a copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 last week, although I didn’t wait outside a shop at midnight, I just went to a supermarket on Friday (violent video games and a wide selection of fresh fruit and veg? Thanks Tesco!). The detail-level in the game is pretty amazing, Karl Lagerfeld even has his own radio station(!), and the in-game clothing is no exception. Hypebeast noticed (or at least reported on first) that the most hyped hoodie ever… ever, Dead Serious by LRG is being worn by people in Liberty City. I don’t know if Nico Bellic (your character) can buy and wear the hoodie, but I don’t think its really his style anyway.
