Knifey Spoony t-shirt by Powerup Apparel

by Andy on July 31, 2010

I am such a sucker for a Simpson’s referencing tee, especially one that takes something that was only said on the show once (unlike a catchphrase) but is remembered by almost everyone that’s seen it.

Costiness=$25 (free US shipping) Buy it at Powerup Apparel

Stars & Stripes by JWORK Limited

by Andy on July 31, 2010

in T-shirts

I’m not the most patriotic Brit (and yes, I know this is a mightily American shirt), but red, white and blue is a pretty sweet colourway, and this tee does a lot of nice work with those colours.

Costiness=$15 Buy it from JWORK Limited

TeeCycle Tim’s house got flooded, buy a tee from him

by Andy on July 31, 2010

in T-shirts

When we had floods in the Lake District last year they were major national news for days as people struggled to cope with the rising waters. Despite living close to a valley floor our house is a few metres up the side of the valley, so whilst the field in front of my house had a river running through it for the first time in anyone in our families memory, we were safe. Tim from Teecycle hasn’t been so lucky, from the looks of it his house is going to need a lot of work, and even though he’s got a lot of friend’s and family helping him out, I’m sure some cash wouldn’t go amiss either, so check out his tees and pick one up so that we can get Tim, Jess, and their baby Clara back home soon.

A rather old batch of Johnny Cupcakes tees

by Andy on July 30, 2010

in T-shirts

Still sifting through the big backlogof e-mails that accumulated during my hoiday to Cornwall, which has resulted in this post about a bunch of Johnny Cupcakes tees that were released more than a week ago. If they actually were cupcakes they’d be well moldy by now, but thankfully they’re t-shirts, so they’re still fresh even if they aren’t covering much new ground for JC fans. Of interest in the mailout was this little paragraph:

-Future Plans include, but are not limited to; UK Pop-Up Shop, as well as some of the bigger
stops from the recent Johnny Cupcakes Suitcase Tour. Random meet-ups. Secret collaborations.
Obscure events. Contests. Scavenger hunts. And a whole lot more.

A UK pop-up shop? Gas up the HYA jet!

eBoy x Engadget t-shirt is totally cool, totally sold out

30.07.2010

When I first saw this t-shirt, a collaboration between one of my favourite design collectives and my favourite technology blog, I was happy to say the least, to the point where I was almost prepared to dust the cobwebs off my credit card (it’s a rarity for me to actually buy a t-shirt nowadays), but [...]

Telemanipulation, another great tee by Lead & Light

30.07.2010

Lead & Light tend not to put too much stuff on a t-shirt, there’s almost never that feeling that they’ve gone overboard, and their latest tee is another great example of that. I like that it’s just a one colour design, though I’m sure that some people looking at their store wish that they’d make [...]

Sale time at Concrete Hermit

30.07.2010

Not sure how long this sale will be going on but as long as it includes half-price books and other goodies then it’s definitely worth checking out. The e-mail I’ve got telling me about it is dated July 14th (my holiday really did come at a time when the whole world decided to e-mail me) [...]

50% of Summer Tees at EIO Clothing

29.07.2010

As I sit here I am wearing a t-shirt made by EIO Clothing, and I think it’s a tri-blend so it’s pretty lightweight, which in my eyes makes it a summer tee, and a mighty fine one it is too. I’ve been banging on for years about how good their tees are, but they really [...]

Dead Bury Dead will Never Die Easy

29.07.2010

And the award for most over the top promo picture of the year goes to… Dead Bury Dead! Actually the most over the top thing is probably the little movie they made. I quite like this tee, but it doesn’t really fit with other items that they’ve got in their store, although the Never Die [...]

The IT Crowd T-shirts: S4E5 “Bad Boys”

29.07.2010

Well, just one shirt in this episode, and one that Roy has worn in the past too, so it was a pretty easy find. Good episode though, loads of one liners, I especially liked Roy complaining about “have you tried turning it off and on again?” being some kind of catchphrase for him, and Moss [...]

I [Pretzel] Philadelphia by CHRMNG Industries

29.07.2010

When I was in Philly I remember there being a lot of joy in the office the day that someone brought in a couple of boxes of fresh, delicious pretzels. When I first tried them I thought there was way too much salt on, but after brushing the majority of the salt I really enjoyed [...]

Pandycane’s secret store for their anniversary

28.07.2010

It’s Pandycane’s anniversary (I’m guessing 2nd because it feels like they’ve been around for more than a year, and to celebrate they’re doing something quite unusual, opening a secret shop with two super-limited designs in it that you can only gain access to if you e-mail Pandycane owner, Tom. This promo was actually launched when [...]

The IT Crowd T-Shirts: Season 4 Episode 4 “Italian For Beginners”

28.07.2010

As a side note before we get into the traditional meat of The IT Crowd t-shirt roundups, after listening to Pirate FM in Cornwall when I was on holiday me and my girlfriend were inspired to watch The Boat That Rocked a film inspired by the pirate radio station Radio Caroline that operated from a [...]

Little Bird t-shirt by Cosmosnail for LaFraise

28.07.2010

It’s quite unusual for laFraise to do a one-colour print, I think of them as a rather more colourful bunch, but this design certainly doesn’t suffer for it. Presumably the concept behind it is “smile for the birdie” which if I haven’t completely lost my mind is sometimes used to make people smile when they’re [...]

Planet Express Logo t-shirt by Busted Tees

27.07.2010

I’m a really big Futurama fan, I couldn’t understand the reasoning behind canceling it in the first place (look at the huge DVD sales and syndication across the globe, how couldn’t this show be making money) and was really happy to see the ‘movies’ and even happier to hear about the new episodes that are [...]

Rockin’ the Tree World t-shirt by Origin68

27.07.2010

Since I’ve been on my ‘summer holiday’ to me it feels as if the summer is already over, which probably has more than a little bit to do with the lack of sunshine since I got back from Cornwall. However, I’m sure it still feels like summer to a lot of you guys, and this [...]

Forty-Four Sixteen BMX T-shirt by Electric Sun

27.07.2010

I must admit to a certain amount of ignorance to this design, I know it’s about BMXs since that’s what the e-mail I received said, but beyond that I don’t know much because my knowledge of BMX bikes extended to wanting one when I was younger but not getting one because I live in a [...]
