I hate it when I get beyond on the regular brands that I blog about every week, not that it really matters, I just like to have that kind of consistency on the site. A few nice releases at Goodie Two Sleeves last week, with the “Makin’ Bacon” shirt being my personal favourite.

1405 480x377 Threadless New Today / Back Today + Sale (14/05/12)

So YAY! Threadless sale! So many tees I want to part with my pennies for too! It’s starting to brighten up outside surely this is the ideal time to acquire yourself some brand spanking new tees! Going to ramble about New/Back today first and then a few of my all time fave tees!

New Today and Captain Jack founder at Threadless just put on FB ‘New Favourite Tee?’ so I am guessing that he is a fan of it. Aptly named W.T.F? by Blair Sayer features a super creepy looking feline covered in plasters.

Back today, and a tee which I have a bit of a soft spot for Doctor-Hoo by Mallory Dyer shows different versions of Doctor Who but as owls. Very simple idea but Threadless fans seem to love Owls!

Here are some of my fave tees that I would acquire for myself in the sale! I adore  The Beach by Lim Heng Swee. It is basically what it sounds like, a very L.S. Lowry sort of feel. The effect of the sea on the lower half of the tee is simply perfection, I can’t think of a better way of seeing in the summer!

I adore food with a face, this is no secret, I have blogged it so many times! Toast by Vo Maria shows some super cute slices of bread sunbathing. Another super summery tee. This one makes me smile and I think it works so well in tank, as pictured at the top of this blog.

I really love the whimsical nature of the following tee, the design looks like an illustration from a children’s book. Water Balloons by Alex X. Zhang and Melanie Herring.  All the colours and everything are beautiful. Only available for gals but I don’t think it’s a particularly masculine Threadless resident.

water 480x347 Threadless New Today / Back Today + Sale (14/05/12)

Lastly for this sale blog, Sock Monkey Just Wants A Friend by Ronan Lynam has a sock monkey as King Kong. I really like the muted colours and the expression on the monkey’s face! Hope y’all have fun Threadless sale shopping! $9.99  tees grab them while you can!

0505 480x346 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

Sorry I have been absent this week, been moving house and everything took slightly longer than it was meant to. I also kinda hoped my internet would get a bit faster but basically I’m working on dial up speed boo! So right now I am blogging a week of Threadless New Today / Back Today and later on I shall blog their awesome Star Wars reprints! icon smile Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

New today from Monday was Mozart : Sterophonic Sound by Efrain Bonilla Flores, have to admit when I saw the thumbnail of the design of the tee I thought it was a ‘King’ from a pack of cards. I love the bright colours but feel the design is a poor addition to Threadless.

moz 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

Back Today from Monday is a tee which I’m ashamed to say I don’t recognise, I’m not familiar with Ultimate Fusion by Chawit Waeswawangwong. I do love the idea of a black bear and polar bear combining to become an epic Panda though. Someone has commented on this design ‘Why blue?’ I tend to agree but I don’t know which colour would of suited this design better.

ulti 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

Next from Tuesdays New Today Void by Budi Satria Kwan has quite an abstracty and spacey feel. I sometimes find it a bit odd to put a child into a design as I feel that generally the only guys who are going to wear a design with a kid on is going to be a parent. Anyway, the colours of the design pop really well in this tee!

void 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

Back today on Tuesday is a tee I am not a massive fan of, I feel it’s safe, dull and anyone could go into a t-shirt printers and ask for it. Now Panic and Freak Out by Olly Moss just doesn’t appeal to me.

keep 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

New Today on Wednesday is Am I a….? by Darel Seow which was part of the ‘Dysfunctional Families’ challenge. I think this tee is mostly around the idea of ‘fitting’ in. It’s cute and the muted colours work for this design.

ami 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

Back today for Wednesday was Liberty by Kneil Melicano, it has quite a feminine feel to it and I personally feel it an odd choice to do the same design in Maroon and Red, they seem like a very weird combo.

liberty1 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

New addition on Thursday was Paper Zoo by Katerina Manor, I think this is probably by far my favourite newbie tee of the week on Threadless. There is nothing not to love about this black/grey origami inspired tee.  The green girly V-neck is particularly fab.

paper 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

Back Today from Thursday is one of my favourite Threadless tees that I do not yet own (most of my desired tees are green too I have noticed). A Happy Slice of Life by Aaron Jay is a funky tee with a super summery feel.

slice 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

Last two for this blog! New today yesterday is this pretty dark and dramatic design, Everything Breaks by Ralph Pykee Lambaco. Love the black, grey and orange together and the design has been done so well. This tee seems to be selling like hot cakes, so if you want it you should nab it shortly!

everything 480x347 Threadless : A Week of New Today / Back Today

Lastly with a bit of a japanese / Star Wars mash up we have Ink Empire by Sebastien Ducourtieux. It’s quite a simply design but at the same time it’s obvious what it’s trying to convey! Perfect reprint for yesterday which was Star Wars Day! Hope you all had a Force-filled one! I will blog some of my favourite Threadless Star Wars tees later! Thanks for reading my extra long Threadless New Today / Back Today Blog!

Post image for 8-Bit Zombie Bub’s Records Top Review

While I was waiting for my 8-Bit Zombie (8BZ) package, I felt like one of Pavlov’s Dogs. The door bell would ring and my mouth would salivate over the thought of the fresh, sweet joy of a new top. To my dismay however on most of the occasions it was just a door-to-door sales person or something equally uninspiring. Alas.

Success occurred finally and I was blessed with the presence of a delightful looking package neatly stuck together with an 8BZ logo sticker. The package didn’t stay neat for long. Upon opening the pack I found the top, a hat and a slew of goodies which greatly surprised me. The goodies contained a few badges, trading cards based on 80′s films and games and a vintage Muscle Man toy. I digress.

bubz 480x456 8 Bit Zombie Bubs Records Top Review

This is the first vest top that I’ve actually ever worn so for me it was an unusual feeling. It certainly felt snug and nice against my skin but I don’t think the top flattered my physique in any way shape or form, however this may be the gentle kick I need to get in to shape. The design is based upon Bub’s from George A Romero’s film Day Of The Dead. Having watched the film I struggled to remember the character but a few quick google searches and I could see the inspiration clearly. 

The print quality is fantastic and certainly feels like it will last a long time and even if it were to crack it certainly wouldn’t ruin the design of the shirt unlike other designs out there. I’ve yet to actually wash the top because frankly I don’t want to take it off, but I have faith that it will wash and iron well. 

photo 91 e1335718721631 480x642 8 Bit Zombie Bubs Records Top Review

(I want to note here that I am truly sorry for my appalling photo, I’m in no way shape or form a photogenic person.  Please don’t let this reflect poorly upon the top! )

The top is both printed on the front and the back and the design is something I absolutely love and reflects my punk rock taste, it will certainly become one of my most worn tops. For the amount of work that has clearly gone into this I think $20 is brilliant value for the top. I’ve already received positive comments and general jealousy toward this top from my friends, this coupled with the fact the design is almost sold out entirely on the website shows just how popular the top really is. Here is to hoping he gets more reprints in so more people can enjoy the shirts!

 

The top really goes well with the black and white snap-back hat that Ross kindly sent me too. The hat has Gizmo from Gremlins on it with a multicolour screen print on the peak too. Again the print quality is great and I’m very curious to see the process behind screen printing the peak of the hat, because it certainly looks like it could be fiddly. It’s nice to see some really unique hats being made as well because I like my all of my clothes to reflect my tastes, not just my tops. I don’t generally wear hats because I find hats that are readily available in the UK to either be flat peaks which I don’t think I can pull off, or boring designs. This is neither and is likely to become my main hat of choice in my wardrobe.

photo 8 480x723 8 Bit Zombie Bubs Records Top Review

(Because I was so un photogenic I decided to use my lovely nephew for a hat pose! He photos far better than I. Proud uncle here!)

It really must seem that I’ve been paid* to write fantastic words about 8BZ but in all honesty I love the shirts and it’s the main reason I started getting in contact with them because I was so drawn in by the designs. I’m not sure why I’m defending myself to you the readers, but I’m sure if you check out or purchase any of the stuff from 8BZ you are likely to agree with me. If you are interested in 8-Bit Zombie then definitely check out their website for more interesting retro shirts (and hats)

donkey kong george washington t-shirt

I’m sure that you guys will not be shocked to hear that I think this is a cool t-shirt at Chop Shop. 8-bit style shirts are really popular at the moment and it’s a trend that I’m happy to see. Here’s how Chop Shop describe the tee:

Help Georgio navigate his way toward Liberty while avoiding all of the King’s royal cannonballs. Use the axe to deflect the cannonballs or simply chop down the cherry tree… but if anyone asks, tell them the other George did it.

Mustachioed Man Going Green

April 12, 2012

Zen Threads, based in Sacramento, California caught my attention. They produce vintage, urban inspired designs and use eco-friendly inks so that you can bury your t-shirt in the ground and not worry about degrading ink infiltrating your water supply. Their graphics are clean and to the point and they offer American Apparel t-shirts in your choice of fifteen colors so you can match your t-shirt [...]

Some are cute (predictably), some are chic, but others are curious, macabre and a bit further afield. Included in the [...]

I think that might receive the fictional ‘title of the week’ award! Goodie Two Sleeves have dropped a couple of nice shirts this week, with my personal favourite being the cloud-based design, which is unfortunate (for me) since it only comes in women’s sizes. Oh, and you can get 20% off with the coupon code [...]

ThreeSixSix just turned a year old, and to celebrate this they decided to release a design based upon one of their favourite artists, Ian Curtis, and the seminal cover art to the Joy Division album Unknown Pleasures.

Ron Swanson, I know, Breaking Bad, I know, but the Room? The Room was new to me so I had a bit of a Google, and it turns out that it’s one of the worst films ever made, and because of that people love it. Tshirt Laundry must have heard of it though since they [...]

Everyone gets what I mean when I say ‘wearable’, right? There are some tees out there with great art that I can appreciate but wouldn’t particularly want to wear, whereas I feel that these shirts are the kind of thing that just about anyone would want to wear. Clear? Favourite for me this week at [...]

Frischfleisch (‘Fresh Meat’ in German) sent me an e-mail saying “hey we have cool shirts” and I would tend to agree with them, the idea of a shirt with FRISCHFLEISCH stamped on the front in a fairly imposing typface with unique and individual blood-like splatters on the front of the shirt is fairly cool. Admittedly, [...]

Dexter’s Laboratory meets Mythbusters in this shirt from Teefury. Y’know, I’ve never seen Donnie Darko, judging by the amount of shirts about it, including this one from Qwertee, I probably should (lots of shirts usually = a good movie). Shirt.Woot have a delightful 8-bit Ghostbusters design. Strangely, RIPT also have a Ghostbusters shirt, though with [...]
