I looked at Fat Gold’s shop, and decided that they were “actually pretty good.” If you’re wondering where the ‘actually’ in that description comes from, it’s because I judge a company based on their name when I receive an e-mail, and I thought that Fat Gold were going to be another loud & lame streetwear label, and I was pleasantly surprised by the goods that I found on the site. I’m pretty sure there’s a famous saying about judging things based upon an initial observation.
The t-shirts may be a bit logo-riffic for some, although this Daft Punk logo tribute tee truly tickles me, but I like the strong simplicity of the line and that all the colourways look very wearable. They offer free delivery in Malta, so it’s safe to presume that Fat Gold are a Maltese company. I went to Malta once a few years ago, and all I remember is dog crap in the streets, a massive bell that rang out just as I walked up to it, and that the whole island was collectively awarded the George Cross for the battering they received in the Second World War.

Oh, you well traveled, literate, historically educated tee shirt blogger you!

I was only there for the morning (we were on a cruise), and it’s much easier for British people to sound well-traveled because we’re closer to places than Americans. Also, I’d like to think I was historically educated since I have a degree in history!
Having said that I did have to Google what specific award the island received, I knew they were given something, I just didn’t know what!
A very interesting post! Thank you! It was very cool! I love your T-shirts!!
I’ve visited today this urban clothing site and loved the arty T-shirts! Check it too!
