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!

My shop is updated. New mini-clothing-collection, art-zine and some silkscreens… check it out!

For those of you more literary-minded, high society types, here’s some tasty pulp to sink your teeth into. We’d also like to showcase this book for which Shawn designed the cover and illustrations throughout. Nice! Shawn will also soon be featured in an upcoming interview at Z-magazine. Keep your eyes peeled for that one!

More about Shawn:
Turn-ons: Zombies, long walks on the beach, people who use the phrase, “Egads man!”, my kick ass wife & kids, the rest of my kick ass family, French toast, Guinness, horror & Sci-Fi, Dr. Who and To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

Turn-offs: Zombies that run faster than me, especially if it’s while I’m taking a long walk on the beach, people who use the word, “Whatever!”, lactose, chick flicks disguised as cool movies, liking said chick flick, bottled water, sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads and tinfoil across your teeth.

Andy: As usual, yes, I did mention this shirt on release day, but it’s clear that Tshirt Contest put a lot of effort into their submissions, and they make me laugh, so there’s no harm in taking a closer look at the design and desinger.

Not many new tees from Threadless this week but there are some pretty awesome ones, especially those pictures above!

Firstly this week because I adore the colour combination, the black with the ligt coloured print is so powerful. I also really like the design of ElectriciTree by Budi Satria Kwan, I especially think it works on the girly boat neck tee.

This tee looks almost like a brass rubbing or something, I love the gold and the brown and it’s normally a colour combination that I would associate with robot or futuristic type tees. I love the design of I Met A Robot by Danny Burgess showing a teeny man meeting a gigantic robot under the night sky.

I’m sure I have bored you previously how much I love tees that show food with a face, there is nothing not to love about a tee with a smiley fried egg on! Sunny Side Up by Aaron Jay gets some serious cuteness points, I kinda wish it had been on a brighter tee though!

Lastly for the tees this week, as there were only 5 this week.  This tee is so eerie, I love a zombie tee as much as the next guy, this tee shows a zombie family and then in the reflection you can see how they were pre zombie. A Family Once by Jay Fleck is probably one of the most original designs I have see on Threadless in a long while! Well done Jay.

This tee arrived through the mail and was a complete and utter surprise for me, but massive Thank You to Dress Royale for this fantabulous tee because I think that my boyfriend looks particularly hot in it!

I really like the simplicity of these guys website, it is very monotone, and the designs are simply and powerful and sometimes sinister.  They don’t have a massive number of designs at the moment but I am sure that their collection of designs will only increase as the word spreads about their awesome quality tees.

Their tee (and 1 tank) range between $16-$18 in price which you can’t grumble at for a brand spanking new tee from an obscure company, you aren’t going to find these tees on the High St and none of your mates are likely to have one.

Another thing I like about this site is that they only have black designs but they have really nice colour of tees like the Heather coloured one that my Nicholas has on, they also have a Silver one and an Athletic Blue one.  I do like a site that isn’t afraid of a splash of colour.

The quality of the tees and print is super high too, this tee has been washed and worn twice and is just a perfect as it was when it landed on my doormat. One complaint I have is that their ‘Women’s’ tees don’t actually look like they have been made for women, I wouldn’t say they are a flattering fits for us boobed ones apart from maybe the tee called ‘Sleep’ because it has an unusual neckline.

I think this site is deffo worth a look and also there is a 50% off code : DressRoyale which works because I tried it.

SquareThursday have released a new design! Purrrfect* for all you cat (and T-shirt) lovers out there. We also have a reprint of our very popular origami fox design back in stock.

Andy: This is HYA, we love puns!

Quite a few desirable tees this week for the Threadless reprints, bit of Sushi, Doctor Who, Wolverine, Marshmallows and Smiley Clouds! A selection of win if you ask me, lovely rainbow mix of colours too!

Firstly because it’s a lovely spring-esque shade of green and I massive fan of sushi! On the flipside this tee is called I Hate Japanese food by Henrique Lima, it show a cute little slug slinking away from an epic pile of sushi. Original and excellently executed.

Don’t we all love zombies? I know I do, I could quite happily blog a zombie tee everytime I blog. This funky tee which kinda reminds me of the finale of the first half of the 2nd series of the Walking Dead is simply called Zombies by John Warren McDougall.

Oooh nothing like toastie melty marshmallows, I really like funny twist of this tee In Case of Fire by Bruno Acanfora. Lets face it, marshmallows by an open fire are so important it is virtually an emergency.

I really like this following tee too, it is beyond adorable and very easy to relate to as a parent, makes me happy that you can get this for babies too. Here Come the Airplane by Jimmy Daniel Barranco shows a Mummy cloud feeding the Baby cloud an aeroplane in the style we do when spoon feeding our ickle ones. This tee just totally works and the colours chose are perfect.

Lastly for this blog because I have been a bit poorly Old, Old Friend by Rocco Rabar shows Wolverine in a the style of old skool Loony Toons.  I love this tee but I sort of wish it was the orange colour like the product image.
