facebook t agged 1240697588611 480x258 T agged, a Facebook page about Tees by some students from Stanford

I probably wouldn’t have mentioned this if it weren’t a class project. Check out the e-mail I was sent below:

Hi Andy,

I’m a student at Stanford University doing a class project that requires us to build a Facebook page. As huge fans of t-shirts, we decided to make a page dedicated to t-shirts and the regular folk who wear them.

It’s called T-agged (http://www.facebook.com/pages/T-agged/69015416579) and our aim is to have fans upload pictures of cool shirts that they stumble upon. These could be pictures of you wearing your favorite shirt, or pictures of shirts you find on the web, etc. Our hope is to build a vibrant community that shares a passion for discovering well-designed shirts,
and create a browsing gallery of shirts from around the world. Users can also write about where the shirt can be bought, or an interesting
story or two about the shirt. We’ll also want to alert our users to sales happening on selected websites.

I’ve been reading your blog and thought that you might be interested in our little experiment. It will be wonderful if you become an active fan and recommend the page to friends who might be interested!

Thanks,
Nate Ng

The chances of me become an active member are approximately 0%, not because I don’t think it’s a good idea, but because I can barely update HYA at the moment (e.g. copy/pasting whole e-mail in lieu of actually writing a post).

rethinkpromofortune2 480x240 Fortune Cookie by ReThink Clothing

I don’t believe in fortune cookies whatsoever, they’re random pieces of paper that are stuffed into a cookie you otherwise wouldn’t eat, and they all have positive messages on them, if they were all right, we wouldn’t have anything to worry about because everything would be awesome. That’s the rational part, the irrational part is that I keep every single fortune I get from the Chinese takeout, and since for the past three months I’ve lived within 2 blocks of a good takeout place (though Chinatown has it beat, American-Chinese food is a bit far away from the authentic stuff for my tastes), I’ve amassed quite a few. I don’t know why I’m keeping them, I just do. Here’s one I just found lying around the apartment: “you will have a bright future.” Well, that’s reassuring, because I haven’t got a clue what I’m going to do when I get back to Britain, so it’s good to know it’s already mapped out for me.

Ware are the geeks?

by Andy on April 29, 2009

118725 preview 480x640 Ware are the geeks?


I kinda like Ware Clothing (see, I didn’t just lose the ability to spell simple words), the designs don’t blow me away, but I find them pretty endearing anyhow, also, they’re $12 and printed on American Apparel, so they’re a pretty good deal.

divineclothing 461x640 Divine Clothings Range is disappearing in 18 hours

I don’t know think this means Divine will be closing for good, just that it’s time for a new direction and to move on from old designs. Hopefully I’ll get to meet Bill Pyle, the man behind Divine, at some point this week, so I’ll assume ask him then.

The Lost Mystery Finally Revealed. It’s all about T-shirts. Probably.

April 28, 2009

Brian from Foepaws was kind enough to do all of the work for this post after spotting Miles wearing an Ames Bros. t-shirt on a recent episode of lost, not the crappy recap one they had last week (hey Lost, don’t call it a new episode if it’s all clips, even if I’m confused this [...]

Octopus Attacks Tokyo by Graniph [Review]

April 28, 2009

Anyone remember when I pointed out this tee back in February and it was a total tease because it was sold out? Well, the situation has improved, but not by much. They must have reprinted it, but only size small is available for purchase at the moment, and considering that Graniph‘s sizes already run quite [...]

EIOs latest Men’s Range is Available Now

April 27, 2009

It’s fair to say that I’d be a fan of EIO Clothing whether they occupied advertising space here or not, and this latest range is one of the reasons why. They make great, tees, simple as that… they are a tad on the skinny side though.

Love by Akomplice Clothing [Review]

April 27, 2009

Okay, this one has no boobies, no buttocks, and no bling (I’m only using that word for alliterative purposes, if you met me, you’d know why I don’t say ‘bling’), is there anything that you’re able to find offensive about this tee from Akomplice? Actually, I’ll cover that angle for you. 1) My photograph’s of [...]

Free shipping at Graniph when you spend 10,000 Yen

April 26, 2009

10,000 Yen is about $100. As I’ve never ordered a tee from Graniph, I don’t know what their shipping prices are like, but as the tees are coming all the way from Japan (which is pretty far from a lot of the HYA readership, that’s right, I know where you live… in country/city sense), I [...]

Before we resume our usual cotton-based jollity…

April 23, 2009

Ok, I’m probably going to take another day or two off from posting, because I simply don’t have the time at the moment, but should be able to get a lot done at the weekend. It would probably be prudent to give you early warning that I’m going to be taking most of May off [...]

And I’m out… have a good weekend everyone

April 18, 2009

Long weekend in NYC with this dude for me, so no posts until… let’s call it Wednesday just to be safe. If you know of any fun places to go (in terms of nightlife, I’ve got tourism nailed now), comments/e-mails would be greatly appreciated, if someone suggests something cool that I end up doing and [...]

XLarge’s Summer 09 Preview Video is a pretty good way to spend a minute of your day

April 17, 2009

Pretty damn polished for a preview right? I like the way that they don’t actually show any of the t-shirts at any point, just the designs.

Buy a NES belt buckle because you aren’t ironic enough yet.

April 17, 2009

You what’s cool about this belt buckle? It’s ACTUALLY made of an ACTUAL NES controller. On the downside, it costs $30, which may be expensive, I don’t know how much a belt buckle usually costs since I’m not a cowboy (usually), but on the plus side it does mean that I’ve got $120 worth of [...]

Toykyo S/S09 [Preview]

April 17, 2009

Okay, they’ve technically released these tees, but you can’t buy them because the online shop isn’t quite ready yet, so this is a preview of tees that don’t need to be previewed because I’ve been given the opportunity to review them (but with the end of my tenure in Philly not that far off I’m [...]

Apples by Violent Elegance

April 16, 2009

I’ve gotten into the habit of taking an apple to work with me most days as an ‘emergency’ if I end up not being able to leave for lunch (which is usually my own fault for not being able to say ‘no’ when people ask me to do tasks), but I seem to always end [...]

WiiXploded add it to all your other geeky exploded tees

April 16, 2009

Exploding things seems to be something of a trend, it was around for a while a couple of years ago, then went away for a bit, but seems to have come back strong, and this latest installment is in the form of the console that makes it okay to prance around like a tool even [...]

Doin’ It by Akomplice Clothing [Reviews]

April 16, 2009

I like Akomplice, and the guys that run it, but this kind of tee isn’t really for me, some people will like it, some people won’t, some people will find it offensive. I question whether I’ll wear this tee, it will probably remain in my closet until one of my friends has a themed-party that [...]
