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

If you thought that ten bills was too expensive, I’ve got a couple of coupon codes that will probably make you happy. You can get…

10% OFF with code: CMONCMON
30% OFF with code: STOCKITUP (must buy $80 or more)

If you’re looking at your virtual basket and thinking “y’know, 6 tees is probably enough for me,” you’d be a fool, with the 10% discount you’d be paying $54 for those tees, when you could get 8 tees for $56 because you’ve hit the 30% coupon code threshold, so just bear that in mind. The codes are valid until 11:59, Sunday May 18th (but which time zone, which time zone!).

Ten Bills

Boat by Super Superficial

Now this, this, this is a beast of a t-shirt. I like it so much that I’m going to put another picture in the post straight away!
Miss World by Atypyk

Yeah, awesome right? I really like it, its got that big rectangular print which we’re seeing more and more at the moment, and the monochrome of the boat sits beautifully on the blue of the waves. If I were to make a suggestion, I think that this would look pretty cool on a lemon or possibly creme blank t-shirt, but it looks pretty great on white too.I guess the price point cuts Americans out of the game, but for us Brits its still pretty attractive, especially with UK shipping included.

American Dad Newspaper Headline

Ahh, too truer words have never been said, people that I meet always think that they’ve had a great idea for a t-shirt (a lot of people think I make or sell t-shirts, not just write about them), and they’re usually lame, so I have to smile politely and nod to spare their feelings. Clearly this isn’t just a UK issue, as shown by this newspaper headline from the title sequence of American Dad (season 3, episode 13 for those of you that are interested).

Confusing t-shirt from CERN

I don’t understand any of the physics on this tee since I’ve haven’t been taught about this stuff for more than 5 years and I don’t think we got to stuff that was this complex anyway, but I do think it looks pretty cool, and I like the idea that CERN would produce a t-shirt that such a small percentage of the population would understand. Fortunately for the person that was given this t-shirt as a present, it came with a leaflet that helps the wearer understand what the equations mean.

This equation neatly sums up our current understanding of fundamental particles and forces. It represents mathematically what we call the standard model of particle physics. The top line describes the forces: electricity, magnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. The second line describes how these forces act on the fundamental particles of matter, namely the quarks and leptons. The third line describes how these particles obtain their masses from the Higgs boson, and the fourth line enables the Higgs boson to do the job. Many experiments at CERN and other laboratories have verified the top two lines in detail. One of the primary objectives of the LHC is to see whether the Higgs boson exists and behaves as predicted by the last two lines.

Let’s just hope that the large hadron collider doesn’t destroy the universe so that we can all continue wearing t-shirts. I can’t find anywhere online that sells the tee, but if you’re really desperate then a visit to France or Switzerland may well be in order to go to the CERN Shop, I say France or Switzerland since the big ring of CERN straddles the border of those two countries and it isn’t clear which side the shop is on.
