Storm Trooper – made up of itty bitty Tie Fighters

9470 0 Storm Trooper   made up of itty bitty Tie Fighters

On the face of it this is just a run-of-the-mill Star Wars design, but, as the title probably gave away, this particular storm trooper design is made up of loads of Tie Fighters. This makes it awesome.

Don’t Stop Believin’ by 2k Shirts

9410 0 Dont Stop Believin by 2k Shirts

Do you ever have that thing when you pretend that a song from the 80s is awesome, even though you know that it kind of isn’t awesome. Then you listen to it a lot, you force your friends to listen to it when you’re going places or driving back from a night out, and the song starts to be more than just the music, it starts to remind you of all the people that are on the other side of the Atlantic that you left behind when you moved to Philadelphia. Then you’d probably get a bit sad, but luckily there’s a special song that always cheers you up.

10% off at Electric Press [Coupon Codes]

in Coupon Codes

electric press uk online clothing store wear something nobody else has  1235707217176 479x410 10% off at Electric Press [Coupon Codes]

Okay, I’ve been wanting to write about Electric Press for ages, but I wanted it to be an in-depth review, but I always put off writing the long reviews because, well, they’re harder, which explains why I still have 10 reviews to do of t-shirts that I furiously photographed on the day before I left for America. It also explains why I haven’t written about Electric Press before, a web shop that wants to bring the best HYA-esque brands to the UK, so that Brits don’t have to fear getting a dreaded card from the Post Office saying that you need to pay customs charges on a package, and a ridiculous £8 handling fee even when the customs charge is about £1.50 (not that I’m bitter about it… at all). So in summation, Electric Press = Good Thing.

A 10% off coupon code just makes the situation even better. Enter the coupon code HYA at the checkout for the discount to be applied.

Collective Names for Animals by Xenotees

il 430xn58953013 Collective Names for Animals by Xenotees

I thought it might be fun to check out what Philadelphians on Etsy were producing, and I found this really cool pullover which has loads of the weird collective terms for animals, including the best band name ever “Murder of Crows” and the hilarious “business of ferrets.” You can’t make out the text in any of the pics, but this is the kind of clothing that I think I’d find fascinating, though it does basically give a guy a reason to look at a ladies chest, so (“sleuth of..”) bear that in mind women of Philadelphia. Not that you wouldn’t be wearing a coat in the city anyway, it was so cold I thought my ears were going to snap off on Monday when I was crossing Broad Street.

Finches by Boy Girl Party

27.02.2009

Boy girl Party sounds like the name of a super-awesome band that no-one you know has ever heard of, and then they get popular because they’re on Gossip Girl and you decide that they actually sucked all along, and then a couple of years later you’re listening to your iPod and decide that actually they’re [...]

S/S09 from EIO is A-OK

27.02.2009

That title formula will never get old! I don’t think that there are any new hoodies as far as I can remember, but there are some excellent new tees for both the guys and the girls for you to peruse. It’s a really impressive release of tees, not a huge departure from past collections, but [...]

SEIBEI Spring 09 Line will never stop pooping, or being weird and stuff

26.02.2009

Seibei/SEIBEI officially launched their/his Spring range a couple of days ago. In a week, Mr. Seibei will be giving up his day job at a print-shop and going full-time on Seibei, so I guess you could say that this release is the most important he’s had to date since these designs are going to be [...]

Who Watches the Watches by Rocky Davies for Go Ape Shirts

26.02.2009

Oh, another Watchmen reference on the left there, or am I now seeing The Watchmen everywhere? When I first looked at this design I wasn’t so into it, but then when I saw it on Flickr being worn by Josh I actually really liked it, there’s something about the size and the slight curve (that [...]

Octopus Attacks Tokyo by Graniph [Rumplo Rocks]

Design By Humans Music Contest is on Fire

25.02.2009

Design By Humans special contests don’t usually involve bands that I’ve heard of (with the exception of Fleetwood Mac, who I was very surprised to see on DBH), but I think that the Kings of Leon are a bit of a ‘get’ for a design competition. I guess they’re big in America too, but right [...]

2008 by Annual Apparel

25.02.2009

Here’s the thing, I think this is a good design, I like the way that they’ve tried to capture the zeitgeist of last year, but there’s just something about wearing a tee from last year that dates the tee, and not in a particularly good way in my eyes, kind of like the way that [...]

Monroeville Zombies hoodie from Zack & Miri Make a Porno

25.02.2009

I was watching Zack & Miri Make a Porno last night (proper Sunday night with takeout food watching), and I thought to myself, “Square on Square’s ‘famous’ BBQ ribs aren’t that good” and also, “hey, that hoodie is pretty cool.” The hoodie is merchandise from the fictional ice hockey team in the movie, the Monroeville [...]

50% off sale at Springleap until Thursday 26th at 6pm GMT

24.02.2009

I wasn’t sure if I was meant to release this information, since it was described as being for t-shirt blogging communities. Does that mean that they just wanted us bloggers to get the 50% off, or did they just want bloggers to spread the news? Well, Shirtspotting posted it, so I reckon that gives me [...]

Threadless Artist Programs, hey, that’s a good idea

24.02.2009

Threadless have launched a new artists page on their site that lets people who have somehow never heard of Threadless know all about how much cash they can get if their design is chosen as a winner. They have the marquee number of $25,000 posted at the top of the page, which, whilst accurate, is [...]
