Glennz: Hey Andy, are there any themes that will pretty much guarantee getting on HYA?
Andy: Well…. ummm… I’m pretty much obsessed with anything to do with Space Invaders even though I haven’t played the game for about 10 years.
Glennz: How very odd, so you just like those funny mosaics?
Andy: Yeah, pretty much…
Glennz: So… if I make a fairly oblique Space Invaders reference then you’ll be down with it?
Andy: Down with it? I’ll probably be so excited by it that I end up writing a really weird post where I pretend we’ve had an IM conversation about t-shirt designs.
Glennz: Wow, that is weird, oh well, I’ve got to go back to my t-shirt design laboratory where I have a team of scientists analysing pop culture references for their hilarity content.
Andy: Cool, xoxo.

[My God my arms are hairy, even though I see them every day I'm still shocked when they're in photos]

Threadless must have heard all the grumblings (including my own faux-anger) over the recent $2 price rise over their usual sale price of $10, making tees $12 a piece, because they’ve lowered the price on over 140 designs to the rather more exciting cost of just $9. Happy now?

Actually, I’m a little unhappy, because I already put in an order for a bunch of tees for me and my brother using my street team points, and now I could’ve got more tees for the same price, it seems like it would be fairer for Threadless to reward people who get onto the sale early who’re loyal supporters of the brand rather than lower the price later, they should have made a decision and stuck to it.

There’s also a street team points contest going on for the duration of the sale (though it wasn’t announced at the start of the sale), in which the 5 people who refer the most sales during the sale fortnight will have their street team points for those sales doubled. So, instead of getting $3 per sale, they’ll get $6. I don’t know why I’m mentioning this contest, its blatantly going to be won by a large coupon code site that don’t even know they’re in a competition.

How crazy is that for a discount? 75%! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 75% off everything discount before. Time to stock up on polo shirts my friends (and even my enemies, this deal is too good for anyone to miss).

Just input the coupon code fivefingerdiscount at the checkout to get the discount applied to your virtual basket. Be quick though, this code is only valid until August 31st.

I think that the thing that drew most people to itself. was the fantastic glove pocket tee, and designers were probably drawn in by the possibility of a $4000 cash prize for submitting a winning design, but if you took a closer look at itself. then you would have found a very promising site with some excellent designs.

Initially, itself.’s tee designs were fairly subdued affairs, single colour designs printed onto white tees. Recently though, their design competition has resulted in a couple of rather more colourful winners, but I still think that their first wave of offerings has a lot of charm about them, and ‘more tape?’ is no exception. It’s simple, it’s fun, and I have absolutely no idea what it means, if its meant to mean anything, and as I’ve mentioned in the past, that’s how I like it. The original version had stripes running down to the hem, but I think it looks a lot cleaner and executes the concept better with a few less stripes.

itself. don’t rely on a third party such as American Apparel or Continental Clothing to produce their tees, they use a custom shirt that they’re really proud of and with pretty good reason too. If you click through on that last link, you’ll see why they like their tees so much, a wide and loose neck, thin ribbing on the neck, as printed tag rather than a hang tag that might be slightly irritating. These things all show that they’ve looked at what they would like to wear, and then seen that vision through. I’m sure they also used to claim that they dipped all the tees in a special wash of love and joy (or something along those lines), but I can’t see it on the site now. The tee is indeed very soft, and the fit is really nice, ever so slightly shorter and ever so slightly thinner in the body than an AA tee (at leas that’s how it felt, I haven’t checked the figures). I’m not in love with the neck though, wide necks aren’t really my style, they make me feel like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, but it isn’t exactly so big that it would put me off from buying the tee. In terms of the print, I was worried that it wrapping around under the arms would make it feel a bit constricting, but thankfully that isn’t the case with the water-based ink print.
