A blog about hoodies & t-shirts, with news from the independent clothing world


For the next three days you guys and girls can get 40% off all apparel and hats at Monsieur T.


I know that its unfair to compare a newbie like Tee Fury with the Shirt.Woot behemoth, but when you see a tee site that sells one design a day you can’t help but think “hey, that sounds a lot like Shirt.Woot except their tees are a dollar cheaper.” Shirt.Woot sells their tees for $10, Tee Fury sell theirs for $9…. but Shirt.Woot’s price includes shipping (+$5 for overnight shipping or international) whereas Tee Fury pop $2 on for shipping. But hey, its just a dollar extra so I probably shouldn’t have wasted time explaining it.

I like the way that because Tee Fury only sell one tee at a time that they can keep the site really simple and keep the artwork/artist on the front page, with the tee at the top and comments on the design straight underneath them. They aren’t hiding away what people think of the tee, its right there on the front of the site, which takes serious amounts of belief in your artists and your designs. It’s hard to tell whether their designs are consistently good since they don’t have an archive of previous designs, but I do like the one featured today (which is actually yesterday, since I wrote this post yesterday). Looking around the Tee Fury forums they seem to have a few recognisable (Tom Burns, Rikki B, Jimiyo) names from the tee world that are already getting involved, which bodes well for the future.

One reason why those artists might be fans is because Tee Fury won’t ‘own’ your design if your tee is sold through them. As I understand it, the design is just ‘rented’ to Tee Fury and they sell it for the day, then the artist owns it again and can do whatever they want with it.

What, what, tally ho and all that, because this is the third British post in a row, you practically need a cup of tea in your hand just to read the blog today!

Famed doodler Jon Burgerman has put his own spin on Yes No Maybe’s name and produced this rather spiffy looking tee. One of the things that I like about Yes No Maybe is that whilst they do put their name in most of their products, they never do it in a way that screams “this is a logo tee, everyone go and buy YNM clothes,” its more like they’re using they tell artists to create a design that is inspired by the name, not about the name, which I guess means that they’ve got a lot of great opportunities for playing with typography. Another interesting thing about this design is that it marks the beginning of YNMs summer colour range, they’re going to be using the traffic light colourway of red, orange, and green over the next few months in a lot of their summer releases, possibly in reference to the ridiculous amounts of traffic that clog up the arteries of Britain’s road network as soon as the sun pops out from behind the clouds for five minutes.

Keeping things British, Terratag have also got that summer feeling and thrown a few more items into their sale section.

Check out the selection here.


I know what you’re thinking. A hoodie? On Hide Your Arms? Can it possibly be?

I know I’ve been neglecting the arms a bit a lot recently, but its hardly the weather for them, is it? Still, I should probably try and keep things on track since I know it isn’t warm everywhere, which is why I’m pointing you in the direction of this hoodie by Won Hundred. The funnel hood is cool, the small zip on the side of the funnel is cool, the zip on top of the kangaroo pouch is cool, and its price being cut from £79 to £23.70 is very cool.

I think they only have one left in stock (size XL) so if you want it, buy it.

Whenever I see the term ‘up to 70% off’ in an e-mail from a brand I like I wonder if I’m going to wipe the cobwebs off my credit card and actually buy a shirt or two, rather than just waiting for the sample tees to come to me.

Congrats to Glarkware’s customer service manager Leah on the (early but a-okay) arrival of her first daughter Olivia! It threw our schedule out a bit but now that we are back we’re looking to move our office around and that’s easier when there’s less shirts to move with it!

* 2XL and 3XL at base prices

I don’t know when they released it, but the tee in the picture seems pretty apt for this time of year (though admittedly a few days late). It’s a design which has the Declaration of Independence on it, except signed by one of the lesser-known founding fathers, Zartram the Merciless, who wasn’t a human but a “nine-foot alien from an unknown planet from beyond the stars.” Beyond the subtle joke (would you notice it if someone walked past you wearing this?), I really like the idea of putting a historical document on a t-shirt, especially when they’ve done it in a way that doesn’t give it a novelty or souvenir look.

$5 tees at Linty Fresh

Eric has to clear out some space and knows the best way to do it, a sale. The designs that are on sale aren’t exactly the freshest that he’s made, but they do come at the beyond awesome price of just $5 a piece.

Yes, $5. And I thought it was great last week then Cotton Werks were selling tees for $8. All the guys tees are printed on Fruit of the Loom and the two girls designs are on AA.

Check out the details on the Linty Fresh blog, or just go straight to the store before they sell out.

Cotton Werks, who come under that category of ‘oh, I remember them’, popped back up on my radar recently when I found out that they needed to clear some space for new designs, and we all know what the best way to clear some space if you’re running a t-shirt company is… a sale!And what a sale it is, they may not have the largest inventory (just 4 designs), but they are impressive designs, including the one above by Olly Moss, and all are just $8. Yep, $8, and they’re even printed on American Apparel tees, I can’t remember seeing a design printed American Apparel for a price that low for a very long time.

Big savings to be had at XLarge

I’m actually spending the vast majority of this week outside (gasp!) redoing the patio outside our house. I’m trying hard to keep up the posting schedule, but I’ve got to let the quality slip a bit. So, with that in mind, here’s a very lazy quote-post.
