A blog about hoodies & t-shirts, with news from the independent clothing world

The FB crew have gone condiment crazy in their latest release of three designs, and also got in on the latest tee meme of putting mustaches in places where they wouldn’t usually be found (apparently they’ve been putting mustaches on bears for ages). I take exception to their anti-mustard stance though, as I have only really come to love the yellow stuff over the past few months (its revolutionised my breakfast pastrami bagel!), but other than that I’m pretty darned impressed with these designs. I really like how they’re pushing themselves by using ‘fuzzy suede ink’ and metallic ink on the bear design tee, you all know I love it when people use different printing methods and whilst I’m always a fan of metallic ink, I’m particularly impressed by the fuzzy suede being used because it makes sense and fits with the design rather than just because they could.

The three tees are on preorder now for $20 rather than the usual $24 until June 1st, and the tees will ship on June 16th. If that’s a bit much for you, how does 15% off sound? Good, right? Well, just input the coupon code HYA into the appropriate box at the bottom of the first page of the checkout and press ‘recalculate’ and the discount will be applied. You might not actually have to press recalculate, but that was how I checked it so maybe that’s how you should do it too. Oh, and this code works on any shirts in their shop, not just the pre-order ones.

Tokyo Art Beat, who release five limited edition tees every year (I think I mentioned them about a year ago), which are all pretty beautiful as long, as you like cyan and magenta!Until the end of the month all five of the designs are on sale, down from 3800 yen to 2500 yen, which is about $24, although tees seem to be rather rapidly selling out, so be quick if you want one. All the profits go to feed the staff of their non-profit organisation, so, are you going to go and buy a t-shirt and help someone eat delicious, delicious tempura, or let them go hungry?
