Katamari gets Rock N Roll! [Submitted Post]

15.09.2010

[Andy's note: Our first ever submitted post! It's a good example of what I'm after too, it has personality without being too self-promotional, thanks to MJ for the submission!] Katamari Damacy is one of those games that, once you’ve played it, just won’t get out of your head. Soon you’re walking down the street and [...]

Submit your news to Hide Your Arms!

15.09.2010

Over the past few weeks I have been trying to juggle more and more projects whilst still having a ‘life’ that extends beyond sitting in front of a computer screen. I feel like HYA might have been suffering a bit because of that, I absolutely love writing Hide Your Arms, but at the same time [...]

Where can a HYA reader get this Ghostbusters t-shirt?

15.09.2010

A fellow called Manak (from France!) dropped me an e-mail asking where he could buy the shirt above that he found on 9GAG (if you click that link, be prepared to work through about 20 pages of archives like I did, funny, funny stuff. I’m sure I’ve seen a tee like this on sale before, [...]

“Traditional Greeting”, AKA possibly the greatest hoodie of all time.

15.09.2010

It feels like the whole internet is going crazy for two things right now (three if you include porn); GaGa’s meat dress, and this Star Trek referencing hoodie from Threadless. It’s one of the cleverest uses of a zipper that I’ve seen for a long time, so hopefully you’ll excuse the hyperbole in the title. [...]

Some sweet new tees from Thriving Ink

14.09.2010

As is the usual disclaimer, Thriving Ink are an advertiser on this site, and I’m a total sellout so you shouldn’t trust a word I say, so I won’t say much at all about these new shirts (and a crewneck!) and let you make up your own mind. Is it weird that I prefer their [...]

Awesome Packaging: Muji Shrink-wrapped T-shirt Cubes

14.09.2010

At the weekend the love-of-my-life and I went to the gargantuan Trafford Centre near Manchester to shop (I bought pants!), exchange her broken iPhone (Apple were having none of it, but they’ve sent one now, huzzah!), eat burritos, watch Scott Pilgrim (post about the tees in that coming up soon on HYA), and generally have [...]

Space Invaders + American Flag = Cool T-shirt

14.09.2010

You’d be the best dressed person at a Tea Party rally wearing this shirt! Am I the only person that sees a political angle to this shirt, it robably wasn’t Headline Shirts intention, but nevertheless I can be seen that way if you wish… or it can just be a cool tee. Costiness=$19 Buy it [...]

Storenvy (printing) turns into Threadbird, remains basically the same

14.09.2010

Storenvy are one of the more popular printers out there for indie brands, because they offer good service, at a good price, and they understand what folks want. I used them for the HYA tee and I don’t really have any complaints (there were a couple of slight misprints, but that is just part of [...]

“The Ramones sold more t-shirts than albums” a t-shirt by James Lillis

14.09.2010

The fourth comment on the page for this shirt at RedBubble says “harsh but true” I highly, highly doubt that it is true, and now that I’m a little bit more mature than I was in my teens (sure, I still laugh at the word ‘titmouse’), I’ve learned to just get over it and accept [...]

FrogFacedSouply, they’re new and British!

14.09.2010

I’ve actually been hearing from the people behind this brand-new-brand for quite a long time, they haven’t just walked into the scary world of selling t-shirts blindfolded, they’ve checked things out and been prepping for launch for a long time, so I feel like they’re a lot more mature as a brand than some others [...]

Teejunkie Designer of the Year 2010

13.09.2010

I was ready to rag on this as being just a way for Teejunkie to get lots of hits on their blog since they aren’t the most read or most frequently updated t-shirt blog out there (though I must admit they are at least posting quality), but I’m as guilty of that as anyone (possibly [...]

“Crow’s Valley” by Quinelas at LaFraise is creepy, awesome

Design By Humans $10K top 8 revealed!

13.09.2010

It’s funny last week when I was looking at the top 24 I felt like there was quality across the board and that just about any of the designs in the DBH $10K would be a worthy winner, but now they’re down to the top 8 there are some pretty clear favourites for me, and [...]

Save up to 30% in the Sutsu Sale

13.09.2010

The site says that the sale will be going on until September 20th at 5pm UK time, but I’ve been told it’s September 24th, so I’m not entirely sure which is which, but to be on the safe side you’d probably better not sleep on this one if you want to avoid disappointment in the [...]

Fistful Apparel are giving away a badass skateboard (when you preorder their new tee)

10.09.2010

I’ll be the first to admit that I know practically nothing about comics, so this t-shirt doesn’t really resonate with me. It’s a cool image, that much I can admit, but it means nothing to me, apparently it’s an homage to Italian comics “Teschio di morto is a master criminal/sadistic killer who dresses in a [...]

Sea of Atlas by CXXVI

10.09.2010

It’s not particularly cheap at $36, but you could certainly go out and spend a lot more on a lot worse. It;s a simple tee, but it’s got everything going for it, if I was walking down the street and saw someone wearing this I’d think to myself “that dude is cool.” Costiness=$36 Buy it [...]

“Love Your Work. Work Your Love” a cool t-shirt by Holiday Matinee

10.09.2010

I see a lot in this phrase, I think it sums up HYA quite nicely, because I’m certainly not doing this job for the money! Holiday Matinee, is that another case of t-shirt brands sounding like an indie band? Costiness=$22 Buy it Holiday Matinee’s Supermarket Shop [via Josh Spear, Coty]
