I get sent a lot of tees, but I don’t think I’ve ever been sent one with a specific event in mind. This was the last tee I received when I was in Philly, and I warned Monsieur T. that there was a chance that it wouldn’t arrive because I was going to be heading to the West coast to get some hardcore touristing done. Luckily the package arrived, and I found a very appropriate tee inside: Road Trip.

Of course, it could be purely coincidental, but I prefer my story. Naturally, I wore this tee during my road trip, whilst we were driving through Death Valley (aka the place where I drank my bodyweight in water). I really like the design, and I’m sure I’d love the original photo, it conveys the feeling of a road trip perfectly, freedom, going somewhere just because you can, because you want to, but not because you need to, and because you stick your arm out of the window to see if it really is that damn hot or if the AC is broken.

In terms of quality, in comparison to American Apparel, the cotton is a little thicker, and the cut a little less forgiving (it doesn’t stretch as much to hide what 4 months of sampling America culinary delights did to my stomach). Printing an all-over tee can be troublesome, and you can usually expect some problems, but Monsieur T. have performed admirably, and you’d have to look pretty hard to find any errors.

Costiness=$17 (down from $34) Buy it at Monsieur T.
