I [bridge] NC by R.Hero for Electrik Sheep

July 25, 2008

I think I name-check Newcastle way too much on this blog considering I don’t live there and only go there about 4 times a years to see family and football, but this hoodie is yet another clever twist on the classic ‘I [heart] NY design that we see being played with so often that there [...]

Hey, remember when I used to write about Bean Dip?

July 25, 2008

It’s weird how I just stop writing about companies for months or years at a time even when I’m really big fans of theirs and still wear their clothing on a regular basis, I guess there’s just so many companies out there that its hard for me to keep tabs on everyone that I like. [...]

Finding Technicolor by David Creighton-Pester for Shirt.Woot [Rumplo Rocks]

July 25, 2008

Usually I’m not all that excited by the designs that are on Shirt.Woot, they’re always technically well produced and they have good artists, but the style doesn’t always appeal to me, and the style doesn’t seem to vary all that much, although I don’t check in with Shirt.Woot everyday so I could easily be wrong [...]

Tee Fury to Shirt.Woot: “We’re cheaper… kinda”

July 25, 2008

I know that its unfair to compare a newbie like Tee Fury with the Shirt.Woot behemoth, but when you see a tee site that sells one design a day you can’t help but think “hey, that sounds a lot like Shirt.Woot except their tees are a dollar cheaper.” Shirt.Woot sells their tees for $10, Tee [...]

LaFraise x Popdeck tees released like lions from cages

July 25, 2008

Remember the laFraise x Popdeck competition I mentioned back in May? Well, the skate deck has been available for a while (I thought it was, but can’t find it in the Popdeck shop at the moment), but its taken until now for the three t-shirt designs to become available. Working from left to write in [...]

This boutique in Helsinki is ‘My Cup Of T’

July 25, 2008

Wow, I’m really linking the posts well at the moment aren’t I? The last post mentioned tea, and this one is about a Finnish t-shirt boutique with a tea pun in its name, its almost as if I actually plan this stuff! I know that most of you don’t live in Helsinki (Finland accounted for [...]

Is this a Jon Burgerman design? Yes… No… Maybe… Yes

July 25, 2008

What, what, tally ho and all that, because this is the third British post in a row, you practically need a cup of tea in your hand just to read the blog today! Famed doodler Jon Burgerman has put his own spin on Yes No Maybe‘s name and produced this rather spiffy looking tee. One [...]

200 new designs at Urban Retro… so summer’s here then

July 24, 2008

That isn’t a typo in the title there, Urban Retro have indeed added two hundred new designs to their store, from brands like Beautiful/Decay, Terratag, Junk food, Wrongwroks, Seventyseven, and Supremebeing. Urban Retro are really turning into one of my favourite stores in the UK, and not just because they’re pretty liberal with their coupon [...]

Marx Hooded Top by Won Hundred at Glass Boutique

July 24, 2008

I know what you’re thinking. A hoodie? On Hide Your Arms? Can it possibly be? I know I’ve been neglecting the arms a bit a lot recently, but its hardly the weather for them, is it? Still, I should probably try and keep things on track since I know it isn’t warm everywhere, which is [...]

Turn Nocturnal have started smoking… still flying

July 24, 2008

Turn Nocturnal have seem to have, ummm, turned direction with their latest release, Smoking, which has seem them leave behind the strong and bold lines for something that is in a style reminiscent of the Imaginary Foundation, with the black and white hand being contrasted by some very colourful smoke. They’ve also restocked the popular [...]

Stream of Life by Zeptonn for Go Ape Shirts

July 24, 2008

It looks like Go Ape are getting back on track with the releases after Josh’s trip to China (I think it was China). Here’s their mailout about the new release: “Stream of Life” by Jan Willem Wennekes aka Zeptonn is a jumbo print on a brown shirt. The gradient on this print turned out amazing. [...]

Andy, where the hell have you been?

July 23, 2008

Sorry about my unannounced couple of days off, I usually like to let you know so that you don’t worry about me (I know you do!), but one of my friends from university came to visit and since he actually flew here to see me I thought it would be rather remiss of me as [...]

Chor Bazaar: New tees for 2008

July 18, 2008

Last time I mentioned Chor Bazaar it was just a two line mention in a Cotton Filter post, but they deserved more than that. So here are the latest tees from the Brooklyn-based indie-Indian company. So, this is four lines of text, double last time, at this rate they might get a decent paragraph by [...]

Electrik Sheep: Prefab

July 18, 2008

[I'm attempting another gallery, this time in place of the main pic, I'm not sure if it really 'works'] To support my spirtual brothers on the other side of the country in Newcastle, here’s a peak at Electrik Sheep‘s in-house line, Prefab, the first half of the line is instore and online now, and the [...]

410BC know how to take a picture

July 18, 2008

One of the things I like about 410BC (and there are many things), is that they really know what they’re doing when it comes to taking product pictures. One of my number one gripes with clothing companies is a lack of decent descriptions and pictures to go with t-shirts, so I thought that when a [...]

Shirts For A Cure: Band Merch + Charity = Good idea

July 17, 2008

Here’s an idea that makes you tip your head on its side and go “huh, that’s clever.” Shirts For A Cure wants to fight breast cancer using one of my favourite mediums; the t-shirt! Rock bands (mostly pop-punk/emo) donate a t-shirt design to Shirts For A Cure, who then sell the tee and give the [...]

A Windy Day by jp33

July 17, 2008

Just because I didn’t write about this tee when it first came out (2 months ago, not two years ago as I stated in the original version of this post) doesn’t stop it from being a great piece of artwork by jp33. And of course, its a lot easier to dodge questions about your sizable [...]

Wrongwroks: Everyone Steals

July 17, 2008

The more I learn about Wrongwroks the more I find that he’s actually “kind of a big deal” in Asia. At a recent toy festival in Taiwan people were queuing up two and a half hours early to be in line for a signing he was doing, and they were waiting in the rain! They [...]
