You know whose very, very good at creating t-shirt designs? AJ Dimarucot, that’s who. Frustratingly, on the product page for this design there is a photo of the lady above wearing a
hoodie with this design on it, but there is no option to buy it… drat and double drat,
Threadless, stop hoarding the
hoodies for yourselves!

Despite all my excitement about it, I still haven’t managed to get to see the new Transformers film, hopefully I’ll get to tonight. It would seem that I’m not the only person that is excited about giant robots fighting, because
Johnny Cupcakes have released this totally sweet Optimus Prime tee, although am I the only person that can’t see a cucpcake/baking reference in the design, I thought all of JC’s designs had that somewhere?

I guess that there may well be occasions over the summer when you want to where something that is ever-so-slightly more upscale than a tee, a polo shirt may well be the answer to that particular sartorial conundrum, and I’m sure there would be far worse options than picking up a polo from my favourite Madrid-based purveyor of character-based clothing (yep, that’s a niche),
Tolky Monkys.
Go straight to the polos here or get more details about them at the TM blog.

A little bit late for my 101 Robot Tees post I guess, but the Dept. have put together a really solid group of designs largely based on robots… and we all love robot tees, right?
Fair enough, the 79′ Battlestar Galactica MK-1 Viper on the tee isn’t a robot, but it’s being driven/flown/piloted by an android, so it’s totally a robot tee!

I think that the irony police might be on the lookout for the Disturbia crew after they’ve released these designs (which you can buy, by the way), about excessive spending. I really like the ‘Keep Buying and Stay Silent’ tee, which is another clever riff on the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ poster that you see so many variations of nowadays, and the biker-style track jacket looks pretty badass (the wraparound bit in the neck is a nice touch, but the Mastercard parody isn’t really working for me I’m afraid, it just reminds me of ‘funny’ tees you’d see in a souvenir shop on holiday, though it’s safe to presume that Disturbia’s take is produced to a much higher quality, so don’t let me hold you back from spending, spending, spending!
