Ames Rooms are cool]
T-shirt Island has changed its name to Cottonable, which doesn’t really change anything in terms of the blog, but it is a pretty cool name.Shirtlog, who had their first birthday recently (huzzah!), held an interview with Filip from Allmightys recently, check it out here.Subtraction, which is a very nicely designed blog, has posted a great description of Rumplo, in case you don’t know what it is yet.Atticus (the brand founded by Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge of Blink 182, though Hoppus doesn’t have anything to do with it now) and Ebtm (a British clothing site) have launched a fashion blog that I imagine British emo and scene kids might like.Continuing the music theme, Ian Watkins, who is the singer/frontman of the Lostprophets, a band who are big in the UK (I’ve seen ‘em twice), has moved on from designing the bands album covers and merch, and released his own line of t-shirts with the brand name of Made In Hell, which are actually pretty good, and to prove that he’s keeping it indie and not selling out to ‘the man’ the store is powered by Big Cartel. If you’re wondering how I’m shoehorning this piece of news into a post about blogs… ummm… here’s an interview he did with Punktastic.You The Designer wrote up a great tutorial last year (and I just re-found it in my bookmarks) that they’ve called “The Ultimate Guide to Designing Your Own Custom T-Shirts“, that’s a pretty lofty claim, but it is a pretty good guide to be fair to them.
Tolky Monkys, the Spanish company who make character-based tee designs, have released their summer line (everyone’s at it at the moment, aren’t they?), and if I may say, its pretty damned cool. Click
here for a Flickr set of the new designs.

I’m really glad that
Dadawan put both English and French blurb in their newsletter, because I don’t plan on brushing up on my French skills until I head back there in October.

Well, I guess they didn’t translate “Du 25 juin au 12 juillet”, but I think its pretty obvious what that means.

I guess that these tees might be a turn off for some of you simply because of the use of a logo, but I kinda like them. They have the look of a band tee, if
Monstar were a band of course, and at least they’ve made the effort to try something different with the design of their name in each of the designs, so I think that if it were a crime to put your own name on a tee Monstar wouldn’t even get community service.

I didn’t realise that we were even in the middle of summer, but I don’t give a damn what you call it as long as it means there’s a
sale on:
Hi Andy

Glenn
Here’s what I like about Glenn, the guy is polite, and he puts the time zone into his e-mail, just so that everyone knows where they stand. All the tees are now $13.95 (*a couple are actually $15.95, sorry, still a good price though), which is pretty damn good for American Apparel tees, especially when they’ve got the artwork of Mr. Glenn Jones all over them (note, tees not actually all overs).
