So last week I got an awesome tee, and it was a bit of surprise for me for two reasons, firstly I wasn’t expecting it and secondly I am not a fan of Khaki and I absolutely adore this tee!
The Cyclery are an Etsy store which specialize in Bicycle themed tees but they have their own vintage twist on it. Obviously because they don’t have a website with a huge ‘About Us’ section I can’t tell you too much about them. However what I will say is that their designs are original, perfect for fans of cycling or vintage ads (with a modern twist) and the quality of the tees are second to none.
I have had my tee for about 10 days and it’s been washed twice (yes I like it that much!) and it’s still in perfect, pristine condition.
A lot of their designs can appeal to both sexes and this company definitely isn’t afraid of colour. My personal favourite designs from their selection is probably the Liberator one that I got sent and the Jester one shown below.
Even though their tees are all ‘Cycling’ themed I am pretty sure most people can find one that they enjoy for one reason or another! So please drop by their Etsy store or give them a follow on Twitter or like on FB.
Some pretty good reprints to chat on about this week, some which have been added to the ‘Dee Wishlist’ for sure! It’s pretty lengthy now.
Totally epic B Movie humour hear and colour and comedy that pops ‘Aliens Gave My Cat a Beard’ by Steven Rhodes, is hilarious and in my opinion this is an obvious choice for reprint.
I find the next design to be quite a feminine one but it has been reprinted for guys, sol by Diogo Hornburg and Lucas Alcantara shows two beautiful song birds resting on a treble clef. I love how realistic and stylized the clef is.
My boyfriend, who is a photographer, is all over this design and it’s kind of like two Threadless tees he already owns mashed up together! Sky Aperture by Tang Yau Hoong is a really original design which it’s interesting but not in your face, and one where you see more detail the harder you look. Excellent Threadless tee!
This design is so funny, I am pretty sure I have blogged it before. Totally gutting that it has only been printed for guys though, I’d welcome this tee into my collection with open arms. Crayon Role Reversal No.147 by Nick Roberts would be the perfect gift for a slightly comedic and artistic friend!
Lastly for this Thursday Threadless blog, Invention of Colour by Ben Hartnett shows very well drawn retro cartoon characters in Black and White with a test tube of colour. Excellent concept, excellent execution!
Origin68 has made-over their site and it certainly is looking quite nice. In addition, they have added eight new tees making their 2012 Spring/Summer line. My favorite t-shirt from the bunch would definitely be Enjoy Life (pictured on the pretty girl above). It displays an incredible use of type to create a design – first of all, it grabs my eyes with it’s bold use of red on heathered gray, and then I am intrigued by the way LIFE flows into a circular shape to form something almost organic or whimsical, while ENJOY is tucked away elegantly within the top of the design, that I love! Oh, let’s not forget the subtle details; the placement of their name at the bottom of the design, as well as the hem tag – ah, so refreshing and just right.
Cost: £20.00 Buy it: Origin68
MORE from their new line (and honestly, I enjoy them all!)

I haven’t played Skyrim (I’m pretty sure I spend enough time on my computer already), but I am aware that taking an arrow to the knee is some kind of meme, and that it’s funny. So whilst the details of this shirt are slightly lost on me, I can certainly appreciate the style.
