You know what gang, it’s getting cold outside and I don’t particularly care for it since I can’t show off my cool tees in public without also showing off some frosty nips. Usually thermals are also the kind of thing that would be hidden away under a few layers, but it’s good to see them with pleasing prints on too like these

For this review you can basically wash, rinse, and repeat what I said in
my first Melon Kid review: the logo is cute but it’s still a logo shirt; the shirts are high quality and I believe custom made; and that you shouldn’t write off Melon Kid as being a ‘logo tee’ company because they make up a small selection of their inventory, in fact they actually have some great designs.
Costiness=€18.80 (down from €25 for who knows how long) Buy it at Melon Kid.

You know what I’m looking forward to when I finally, finally, get to America, which will hopefully be next week (fingers crossed!), is to eat a hoagie and lots of other stuff that I know would result in me clogging my arteries if I lived there for more than 6 months. It’s funny that on this tee it says that there is “no charge for extra grease” because just last night whilst I was chowing down on some post-drinking onion rings that it was important to “embrace the grease” because of its near magical ability to give stuff that shouldn’t taste good, taste good. So, on that basis I figure that me and America are going to get on swell, presuming I can go to a diner from an 80s teen movie.
The tee is a direct copy of Booger’s shirt from
Revenge of the Nerds, so for me to critique the design would be pretty darned harsh, seeing as it is out of
Found Item’s hands to a certain extent, although I guess that they do pick and choose designs based on whether they like them.
The print looks just right; it is ever so slightly thicker than you’d imagine on a normal shirt, which gives it the feel of a tee that you would expect to get from a diner or bar, but at the same time it also has a slightly vintage look to it. The stock tee is made by American Apparel, but unlike normal, it is from their athletic range, which means it is a tad stretchier, and with a bit more of an athletic cut. Found Item have altered the shape of the tee (which has three-quarter-length-sleeves, they go to just past the elbow on me) at the lower hem to give it a rounded shape, which I assume is 100% accurate, but for me it made the cut look a bit less flattering, although that was probably more of a belly issue than an issue with the tee.
