“Parting the Red Sea” a clever hoodie from Threadless

11.08.2010

It’s fairly rare to see Threadless printing a design that works better as a hoodie than as a t-shirt (this design is available as both), but fortunately this is one of those times. We all know that I’m not particularly religious, and by that I mean I’m an atheist, but I shouldn’t let a silly [...]

T-shirt grab bags from less than $6 at ThinkGeek!

11.08.2010

ThinkGeek tees wouldn’t usually grace the pages of Hide Your Arms since they aren’t really my style, but since HYA has become something of a haven for sysadmins recently following the publicity The IT Crowd posts brought the site I couldn’t resist posting such a tempting deal, and who knows you might pick up a [...]

Chop Shop makes a tee with 37 monkeys on it…

11.08.2010

… perhaps their next collage shirt will be 50 people flogging dead horses? I like this series of shirts, they’re fun, but when they’re down to ‘celebrity monkeys’ it feels a bit like they’re grasping for themes. To be fair to Chop Shop, at least they’re doing it with a touch of class and thought [...]

Summer has arrived at Enclothe

11.08.2010

Our old buddy Derek at Enclothe has just dropped his Summer 2010 range and it’s full of typically Enclothe-ish designs, that is to say, good designs that you’ll want to wear. There’s nothing too crazy or flashy, which is good because it would feel a bit strange if he turned his back on the style [...]

Evil One Crest t-shirt by Beware of the Hype

11.08.2010

Like quite a lot of t-shirts this week I don’t really know what the point of this one is, it seems to have quite a lot of stuff on it that is both specific and vague at the same time, and yet again, that doesn’t stop me from thinking that this is a good, wearable [...]

J3Concepts 2nd release at LTD Tee confuses me, still good

10.08.2010

J3concepts is one of those designers that I just naturally trust, so even though I have no clue what this design is meant to mean, I like it, and not just because it looks wearable on face value. This is the second week of Jared’s month-long takeover of LTD Tee, and I think it’s going [...]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt by Atslopes

10.08.2010

The style is a bit too immature for my liking, but then again this is a t-shirt based on a kids TV show, so I can hardly mark it down for that. Costiness=$25 Buy it at Atslopes

Has anyone else been ripped off by 5quidink?

10.08.2010

Yes, that title is slightly incendiary, but I feel that in this case it is more-than-likely warranted. Regular readers of HYA may have seen that a few months ago 5quidink were advertising on the site. I was happy to have them there, they were a new tee-a-day site with good designs from well known designers, [...]

“The Bear’s Little Brother” t-shirt by Thread Thirst

10.08.2010

I probably shouldn’t be expecting a t-shirt to be providing me with a science lesson, but I was not previously aware that bear and raccoons were related to each other, in fact, I’m mighty dubious of such a relationship. Still, that doesn’t ruin an otherwise good design (though the inclusion of the Thread Thirst name [...]

“Lion For A Day” cool t-shirt by Random Objects

10.08.2010

I read the quote on this shirt and I was all like “yeah, fuck yeah!” and then about two seconds later I realised that being a metaphorical lion is sooo much harder than being a metaphorical sheep. Sure, I try not to let the crowd influence me too much, but sometimes lots of people are [...]

“The Early Years” t-shirt by SteveOramA at Infectious

10.08.2010

Dang y’all, I really wish I’d seen this tee earlier because it’s only available in S/M for guys and S for the ladies, though judging by the sales of HYA tees those are the most popular sizes amongst HYA readers. Those are some mighty happy looking trees, and why wouldn’t they be, they were painted [...]

“Niñote” a taco loving tee by Psycho Reindeer

09.08.2010

I’m pretty sure that this will be my favourite product photo of the month. I don’t exactly run a competition in my head for them, but come on, look at the beard! I do kinda wish that the print was a bit bigger though, seems a little on the small side for my taste. Costiness=$12 [...]

“Apres Moi le Deluge” t-shirt by MJ for Design By Humans

09.08.2010

When MJ tweeted that one of her favourite designs that she’d ever made had been printed I was expecting to see something pretty special when I opened up the Design By Humans homepage, so I was actually a little bit disappoinbted when I saw the tee for the first time. Yes, it’s good, sweet, and [...]

Based on a true story t-shirt by Mon’ry for LaFraise

09.08.2010

I’m curious as to whether you guys would consider this a typography tee? I think of it as a typography t-shirt because it does something interesting with the typework, but I’m sure that strictly speaking a typography shirt needs to be referencing some element of typography, like kerning or a particular font. If you were [...]

“How To Wash Your Dark Sides” Star Wars t-shirt by Reece Ward for… umm, Star Wars?

09.08.2010

There are a lot of Star Wars fans out there, and there are also a lot of graphic designers out there, and let’s presume that there is at least some overlap between the two. I assume that when Lucas Film call (or more likely e-mail) a designer and say “hey, make us a t-shirt” the [...]

Hoody Sale on at Hoodiepeople.com, 40% off! (then 30%, then 20%)

09.08.2010

As if to prove that I don’t give my advertisers preferential treatment, I almost missed the biggest part of hoodiepeople.com‘s month of savings for their ‘back to school’ promotion. For just a couple more days, you can get a whopping 40% off anything in store with the coupon code SchoolDaze. As you’ve no doubt worked [...]

A t-shirt for nerds at Instant Classic

08.08.2010

I find the acronym to be a bit of a stretch, but I really like the style of this shirt, and yes, I saw it and was initially reminded of this shirt by Threadless, but then when I actually looked at it, they really aren’t all that similar. Costiness=$20 Buy it at Instant Classic

Concrete Jungle by a.mar.illo at StupidHurts.Us

08.08.2010

Stinky Pinky by KTB Brand

08.08.2010

Y’know, I actually really liked the style of this tee, and then I connected the name and the image and immediately disliked it, why the hell would anyone want to walk around wearing that? Each to their own, of course, but that’s just not for me, thanks. Costiness=$22.50 Buy it at KTB Brand

Suits Suck by NerdyShirts

08.08.2010

NerdyShirts are in no way the first company to release an Entourage referencing Suits Suck shirt, and I don’t really understand why they’re releasing shirts at the moment based on movies that weren’t that huge when they were released (and released a few years ago too), and shirts based on internet memes that I’ve never [...]
