I’m going to repeat that for a third time, since you’d be forgiven for thinking I’d made a mistake not once but twice, Wooshka, the up-and-coming Australian t-shirt design competition that I haven’t given nearly as much coverage as they deserve, are going to be selling tees for just one dollar a piece for 48-hours next week.To try and keep things fair, you can only order one $1 t-shirt per order, but you can make as many orders as you want. This does give rise to the situation where shipping will probably make up the bulk of your order, although shipping is totally standardised at Wooshka, being £3.50 for the first shirt and then £1.50 for each shirt on top of that (why an Aussie company does their shipping prices in pounds I don’t know, maybe their site knows I’m in the UK and just makes things easier for me). Even with shipping being more than the cost of the tee it is a very good deal, working out to about $8 if you buy just one tee (suck it, Threadless!).

Here’s the press release that explains how and why this sale came about:

True to its word of asking members to take the reins of Wooshka,
founding members of the website were recently asked to vote on how they would like to be thanked for
contributing to the successful launch of Wooshka.

Members were presented with three options to choose from:
a. A 500 shirt member‐only free shirt giveaway
b. A never‐before‐done‐(we think)‐member‐only‐$1‐sale on every shirt
c. A buy one, get one free member‐only sale

With 68% of the vote, members overwhelmingly decided that they would like to be thanked with a $1 shirt sale!

So… for 48 hours from this Tuesday 27 May (New York – 10:00am, London – 3:00pm, Sydney – Midnight) any Wooshka
member can buy any shirt in the range for just $1! Members have the right to buy at least one $1 shirt, subject to stock
availability. Members can only purchase one $1 shirt per individual order (to try and make it fair for everybody), but multiple
orders can be placed.

Even those people that join Wooshka during the sale period will be eligible for the $1 offer.

So, is it safe for me to assume that a few of you are going to be hopping onto this offer? May I recommend you hop on this quickly because I can see their servers getting hit pretty hard by this. Oh, and I’ll post again telling you when this kicks off as a reminder.

Things are starting to become a bit clearer thanks to a major overhaul on the T-shirt day website, it’s gone from a plain outline of a tee last week to the fully blown site that you can see in the screenshot. From the looks of things, Spreadshirt will be holding events in Berlin and Boston, giving away about 500 t-shirts both online and off, and they’re also holding a special competition in conjunction with LaFraise. It’s shaping up to be more of an event than I rather cynically first expected, so I’ll keep you updated on developments.International T-Shirt Day

I don’t expect anyone to be buying this pair of hoodies since the price is $480-$600, but you know how I’m a sucker for instances when clothing and technology, and these hoodies are most definitely one of those instances. I could try and explain it myself, but the makers are far more eloquent than I am, so…

A fitted dark-blue canvas hoodie sports the collection’s abstracted logo in a pattern made of a futuristic silver conductive fabric. When two people wearing the hoodies embrace they actually power each other up through that pattern. The symbolic energy transfer becomes fully actualized and the embrace is instantly translated into an explosion of light and sound.

Small white lights flicker in the back of each hoodie forming a big-dipper pattern while a faint heart beat sound is emitted. The hoodies themselves take their design inspiration from the construction of early Siberian hooded coats, creating an enveloping safe haven, a tranquil vestige of protection and romanticism. The hoodies also come in a luxurious, cashmere-like 100% bamboo basket weave — very huggable indeed.

Amazing, right?

I know that it’s practical application is actually pretty limited, but the very idea of a hoodie that is powered by hugs, let me say that again> Powered. By. Hugs. Is just utterly fantastic to me, its like a real life version of the Care Bears. Its cool how Studio 5050 seem to have also made a quality garment too, usually techno-clothing is more focused on the electrical side of things than the quality of the clothes, so its good to see them going above and beyond in the name of comfort.

I never really know what to write in these celeb posts because I’m not a celeb blogger, and I only really write them because I like to change things up around here in terms of content (and celebrities are traffic gold), but I’ve been a fan of Mila’s since the That 70s Show days (by which I mean I’ve thought she was hot since then), and she is wearing a Nightmare Before Christmas hoodie, so I thought I’d give her a bit of HYA love.

I haven’t managed to find an exact replica of the hoodie that she is wearing, but I have managed to find the same design as a zip-up hoodie at three different UK based stores for the same price, here, here, and here, may I recommend that if you want to pick it up then see how much shipping is at each shop and then you’ll be able to find the cheapest of the lot.

On account of this 6 colour t-shirt being a bit of a beast to print up, Mustache and Friends have taken the unusual (for them) approach of putting it up for pre-order. If you place an order for it now you’ll receive $5 off the regular price, and a free 4-button pack, and free shipping in the US, and a soothing back massage from a team of squirrels (which item in this list isn’t true? The answer might surprise you).Costiness=$20 Link
