“Doc’s Delorean” Back to the Future t-shirt by Sneaky Studios

by Andy on August 7, 2012

I remember thinking as a kid when I watched Back To The Future for the first time that going 88mph was really impressive and fast, but looking at it now it’s not really that fast, hell, I’ve driven vans nearly that fast on the autoroutes of France and still been on the right side of the law. Cool shirt though!

Mechanic Industries combines magic and gambling

by Chris_S on July 10, 2012

Most people I know have a sideline these days. It might be that they clean cars on weekends from their day job; others might enjoy going to horse tracks and becoming a part-time professional gambler. So it’s encouraging to see a t-shirt designer who has a sideline too. We got an email from Jimmy K at Mechanic Industries explaining how his day job parlayed into a sideline (which then transformed into a tee brand. Stick with me!):

A Mechanic is a card cheat that utilizes advanced sleight-of-hand techniques to gain advantage over their opponents. Mechanic Industries give magicians the competitive edge with an arsenal of premium products. This advanced product line taps into the very essence of what Magic & Gambling is all about – advantage.

Appearing in June of 2012, Mechanic Industries Ltd is based in the UK and specializes in the design and production of the highest quality gaming & gambling products for use by magicians, flourishers, poker enthusiasts and avid gambling fans alike. We are fanatical card magicians, poker players and leading designers. It is our aim to become the premium retailer for all things magic and gaming.

So of course it makes perfect sense for them to start designing t-shirts too. There’s only the one design at the minute (‘Work Wear’, £24.99) but I like it, and it comes in three different colours. These guys might be a brand to watch in the future.

Regan Smith Clarke’s shirts are awesome

by Chris_S on June 28, 2012

It’s been a busy few days here at HYA – which is why though Regan Smith Clarke’s summer collection has been around for a little while, we’re only getting to it now. But what a doozy it is: well worth the wait. Regan designs shirts with a vintage art twist, with eye-popping designs which seem to have leapt from a 1940s newspaper comic strip. Coincidentally, that’s exactly the sort of thing that I love, so I’m craving these shirts very badly.

Trailblazer (above, $25) is a shirt which looks like it could well be at home on a wartime propaganda poster for kids, and would undoubtedly draw some looks for its big design and bright colours. Personally, it’s my favourite of the bunch.

But then you’ve got Lone Wolf ($25) – which comes in black and yellow – that manages to take the weird anthropomorphic animal thing that you see in all cartoons (Peppa Pig, Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny say hi) and create a new character. As you might tell from the two shirt names, Regan Smith Clarke’s all about giving the wearers of his t-shirts an identity and an ego boost.

Keeping the wartime propaganda look (and almost making me willing to buy a three-quarter length baseball tee) is the Stand and Deliver 3/4 length ($28). I personally think that wearing 3/4 length clothing on your top half is almost as dangerous as wearing 3/4 length shorts (it runs the risk of making you look like a baby) but the design on this is so beautiful that I’m almost willing to overlook it. Almost. Regan, if you’re reading this: put it on a normal tee. I’ll buy it in an instant.

Costliness = $25-28

Blue Butter T-Shirt Review

by Ben_P on June 25, 2012

If I were alive in the glory days of arcades this shirt would totally be the one I’d rock down there! A quirky take on the iconic Pac man and his mortal enemies the ghosts makes for a delicious ice cream treat. A clever design that I don’t think I would have thought of if it wasn’t for Blue Butter, and the cherry on top… well is the cherry on top of the design. Made using the latest DTG technologies the quality of this design is quite remarkable, the image is going no where and having had one of his shirts before I know it washes well!

The process itself leaves a slight faded look but gives the design a vintage feel. It’s a bonus too that you can pick your garment colour but I feel not all tee colours are suitable for this design. Perhaps limiting the choice to certain colours that suit it is better, but more choice is never a bad thing. It’s certainly something you’d struggle to have with screen printed shirts given the cost of producing them, as these are printed to order.

Which leads me nicely on to the turn around time, considering he has to process the order and get it printed and shipped it was a surprisingly quick process taking less than 2 weeks! I’d say that’s pretty good for the amount of steps it has to take and the fact it came to the UK from the USA. The packaging that it arrived in was nothing special but that doesn’t really bother me because a garment that’s great speaks for itself. I wish Blue Butter all the luck in the world because I love the majority of his designs and I think they’re fantastic.

I think the fact that he uses DTG is great because it allows him to get new designs out quickly, I love these designs but not all of them appeal to me as T-Shirts, however I’m very excited to see what he brings out in the future. Just as a note I own his Breaking Bad T-Shirt which is amazing (mainly because I love Breaking Bad!) At $24 I think it’s good value considering everything that has to happen for this shirt to see the day of light and the choice of garment colour too.

One very last final note I love the fact that you can purchase the designs in mens, women’s, babies and kids! I’ll certainly consider getting my nephew a kick ass design from his shop at some point soon.

Turning An Engineering Dream Into An Effective Reality: The Crossbow Project Shirt

Random Objects ring in the summer

by Chris_S on June 9, 2012

I’ve just spent a weekend in a caravan in Wales, and though it rained solidly for one day, the other two days were bright, sunny and almost Mediterranean. That can mean one thing: it’s summer time.

Of course, the weather can be unpredictable, so it’s much better to rely on Random Objects’s summer line release. We’ve written extensively in the past about this brand, and regular readers will know we’re a fan. Luckily the Summer ’12 releases (or rather, the first part as the press release we were sent teases) look to validify our good faith.

‘Be Polite’ (up top, $24) is a great example of a strong typographic tee. In a bright blue, the white text really stands out and it’s the little details such as the highlighting of the “and” which really separates this from the sort of thing you can pick up for ten bucks on Cafepress. It also preaches a good motto too: if I could, I’d be asking Random Objects very poliltely if they’d let me do a wear test on this design.

The other three designs are a little less strong to my eyes, but are nonetheless something which would fit well in any wardrobe. I’m not a fan of tank tops, but for those who are ‘What Goes Around Comes Around’ ($20) would be a great buy. It’s the sort of thing you’d wear in Instagrammed photos with the sun streaking across the sky behind you.

‘A Sailor’s Life’ ($24) looks like a shirt you’d buy in a high-end department store (which isn’t meant as a slight) and has an inspirational message; ‘Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’ ($24) is a smart play on the age-old turn of phrase which is equal parts cute and scary. Most importantly, I can imagine wearing all of them with some shorts while padding along the beach. Summer is here people! Enjoy it!

Understated ‘Karate Kid’ t-shirt from Last Exit to Nowhere

by Chris_S on May 25, 2012

I try and ignore the fact that there’s been a remake of The Karate Kid, simply because it ruins the previous, original, excellent film from the 1980s. Because of the Jackie Chan remake there are a lot of Karate Kid-based shirts out there, but this one from Last Exit to Nowhere (who we haven’t mentioned in a little while here at HYA) is an excellent understated nod to the original – with a great, minimalistic design. It could theoretically be just a regular karate competition t-shirt, but the devoted and dedicated (read: those older than 12-years old) will enjoy the reference.

Costliness: £18 (Buy it here)

Super7 go 8-bit with a Duck Hunt t-shirt

by Andy on May 25, 2012

It’s kind of amazing really that back when they released Duck Hunt you could actually point a controller at the TV screen and that would actually control the game with a pretty decent amount of accuracy. It seems fairly advanced technology (though I now know it’s fairly simple) considering the t-shirts design is a spot-on recreation of the quality of graphics that you could expect from the NES. T-shirt available from Super7 now for $30.

SheldonShirts.com – Big Bang Theory Tees

by DeeHYA on May 6, 2012

So I actually stumbled across this site when I was looking for a tee for my boyfriend, he has got a thing for one of Leonard’s tees in the Big Bang Theory which shows the different lunar phases of the moon. This website indicates where you can buy items worn by the characters in the show and also tee’s which show the characters in the show like the one above.

Obviously there quite a few tee’s that are pretty easy to find. Sheldon especially tends to wear a lot of Comic based tees such as Aquaman, The Flash and Green Lantern which you can find on a lot of sites by doing a pretty simple search. A few of the tees are from 80′stees.com a site which I have used several times and I would recommend them highly. Of all the generic Sheldon tees, I particularly like this Batman Gradient one!

I think Sheldon’s Science based tees are probably the ones most desired by his adoring fans. It also makes a super cop out Halloween/Fancy dress costume to go to a party as Sheldon by simply buying one of these awesome tees! This “Screens and Lenses Work Magic” tee from Thinker Clothing has a pretty awesome and intriguing design!

This tee I find to be a memorable one, I’d quite like this one for myself. Melting by Glennz Tees shows a melting Rubik’s cube, the rainbow of colours against the black tee works absolutely amazingly.

All the my favourite of Leonard’s tees are from Urban Outfitters and are all out of stock in all sizes, however this Periodic Table tee on Cafe Press is pretty good too!

I always enjoy the way Howard dresses, more men should dress like him. The only product that SheldonShirts.com links you to for howie is his belt buckles. Although after checking pretty much all of them are out of stock, sure you would be able to hunt down similar ones though.

Stylin’ Online is where you need to be for your Big Bang tees, massive selection, even more massive for guys of course (boo!). Have to give Raj a mention though, I adore his shellsuit tops! This Ladies Man tee made me giggle when I first saw it!

So if you’re a Big Bang Theory fan or you’ve just spied an episode and been like ‘OMG I NEED THAT TEE’ http://www.sheldonshirts.com/ is the perfect place to try and hunt yourself down that much coveted wardrobe fruit!

Threadless – Star Wars Tees!

by DeeHYA on May 6, 2012

Can’t believe I totally missed Star Wars Day, hope all the Star Wars fans had an epic May the Fourth 2012. I’m SO happy that Threadless have plenty of Star Wars tees up their sleeve! Here are some of my personal favourites.

I actually treated myself to Logical Conclusion by Matheus Lopes, I like the super cool pop art feel to it. The colours and concept are all working for me in this tee.

I have a soft spot for R2-D2 and lighthouses actually as me and my fiancé got engaged by one. Rebel Lighthouse by Andy Farrell, the design looks looks like a very basic stencil print but I think the simplicity adds to the character.

This one is probably my favourite of the Star Wars Threadless tees that I don’t own yet! Slave Two by John Tibbet is a Slave One and a VW Campervan! There is nothing not to adore about this tee! The colours and design all scream ‘Perfection’ to me and I’m delighted it’s been reprinted.

I thought I’d lost this tee but I found it when we moved house, score! Retold with Unicorn by Branco Ricov and Jonah Block features a light side and dark side unicorn battling with their lit up horns! So crazy and surreal it works! Here is me wearing the tee while holding a gigantic owl called Beryl.

I do like the following tee, although it is a very literal take on ‘Star Wars’, also just realised how many of the Star Wars tees are Navy and Blue! Star Sabers by Tal Zubalsky shows Darth Vader and Luke fighting. They look more like star shaped biscuits than stars to me. Yummy. I love the size and placement of the design on this tee.

Now for something completely different and super clever! I don’t know how some designers come up with such amazing concepts for tee designs! Saber-toothed Tiger by Tobias Fonseca is certainly a tee that will make your Star Wars loving friends snarf their tea! Want, but unfortunately this tee is only for the male half of the Threadless population!

Review of Cuppa-T and their Dark Lord

by Mr Four Fingers on May 1, 2012

I must admit I had my reservations about writing a review for a Star Wars related t-shirt as there are countless designs out there lacking ‘another level’ or simply relying on overused ideas. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that Cuppa-T have not one but two good ideas that show they have put a little more thought into it.

One of the designs in mention is called ‘Dark Lord‘. The design is a relatively complex illustration that subverts classic religious imagery which, in the case of Star Wars, becomes very apt. The design is witty and goes in a relatively new direction with regards to existing Star Wars related designs out there.

The print is a 3 colour screen print on black 180gsm smooth combed cotton . The design sits well on the fabric and is surprisingly not too thick as can sometimes be the case when printing on dark fabric. I have worn and washed and there are no issue with the print and as far as I can tell the t-shirt has not shrunk noticeably, if at all. Fits like most decent t-shirts.

There are a few small details which I appreciate like the logo label on the sleeve, red foil block printed logo traditional swing tag and a separate screen printed label on the inside collar. These are all signs that let you know that Cuppa-T appreciate quality and are investing into their product.

I’m not sure how long the t-shirts journey was door to door but going by Andy’s surprised response to me having already received the t-shrit, it must have been quick. So don’t let the fact that Cuppa-T are based in New Zealand put you off. Their packaging needs a little love, maybe throw on a logo sticker. But that’s me just being pernickety.

What is good to see about Cuppa-T is that their store does not rely solely on Star Wars themes but rather they have a good mix of sci-fi and robot designs. They have a nice brand ethos and they describe their brand as “Sci-fi propaganda streetwear”, which is perfectly suited to the most famous space war yet.

You can visit their shop via their website or directly from actual stockists if you live in NZ (stockists listed in website) or from Sneaky Studios online shop. There is also the option to buy a design as a print or cards which is nice to have. The t-shirt costs $49 NZ dollars, $40 US and £25. So more expensive than the average, but not bad by any means considering the details and the fact that the designs incorporates 3 colours.

They seem like a good bunch of guys and I’m keen to see what else they have in store for the future.

Super LINtendo T-shirt [Review]

by Umang on May 1, 2012

First off, I am not a New York Knicks fan but happy to say that Jeremy Lin did play college ball in my home state (hint). Regardless, it is a great Cinderella story and pretty exciting to have a home grown Asian guy making headlines as a minority in the NBA. They say he may even be ready for game 4 against the Miami Heat. The series needs a spark.

The package arrived thanks to Ricky Cheung. It came in a standard manila envelope with no chotchkies like stickers, buttons or cute things that I can decorate possessions, like my lunch box with. That being said, this was really about the tshirt and its quality. These guys cared to source an alternative tshirt manufacturer and didn’t skimp on details by using a Hanes Beefy-Ts that hangs like a dress. Unless you are as tall as Jeremy Lin of course. They used “Next Level Apparel t-shirts” which is a company that I had not heard of until now. The t-shirts look and feel like ring spun cotton, which is soft like a baby’s bum for those that don’t know? They are fashion fit so you can act like a Diesel model when you root for the Knicks.

The print is plastisol ink and the quality is surprisingly very good for, four colors and its finite detail. For those that have never silk screened, it a pain to align multiple screens, especially with trending, angular dot matrix graphics like this one.

For the sake of New York Knick fans and the NBA, lets hope that Lin gets a contract extension. It would be sad to see him disappear into a small market team like the Raptors. Sorry Canadians.

Bottom line, you can’t go wrong with this Super LINtendo t-shirt. They spent some money producing this product.

8-Bit Zombie Bub’s Records Top Review

by Ben_P on April 30, 2012

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.

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.

(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.

(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)

Notorietees: Shirts With Buzz #1 (LeBron James, Pizza Shirt, Nice New Girlfriend)

by Travis on April 27, 2012

Welcome to Notorietees, a new column here at Hide Your Arms that will chronicle “problem” shirts that fall a bit further afield from the general programming you’ve grown accustomed to. Tees in the news, tees making waves, tees raising hackles, tees giving pause, tees with an edge — all are fodder for discussion (and snarky commentary).

>Our first ~~controversy~~ conteeversy (groan…) wrestles with the sticky nature of identity and authenticity. NYC & Company, “the official marketing, tourism and partnership organization for the City of New York,” has partnered with Aéropostale on a product range that celebrates city agencies such as the NYPD (sample embedded below).

Home is where the art is.

The program’s goal are moderately laudable; a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the T-shirt collection “will benefit the New York City Police Foundation and the FDNY Foundation,” but as critics have noted there’s one glaring problem: the tees are manufactured and screened in, gasp, Central America. Embarrassing… [DNA Info]

>Embedded below is a bootlegged design of noted curmudgeon Jim Leyland puffing on a cancer stick.

Literary tees from Truffle Shuffle

by Chris_S on April 21, 2012

I’m an English Literature graduate. It was a couple of years ago that I graduated, admittedly, but you’ll find that almost all bloggers on the internet are those who took an unhealthy obsession with books to the extent that they paid thousands of pounds to be taught it in tertiary education. And so this post is for all those who spent three, four or more years of their life reading 5 full novels a week and writing about them.

Truffle Shuffle have a brand of tees called ‘Out of Print’, which are based on some of the best novels in history. They’re beautiful, retro designs, slightly aged for that dog-eared effect that you get from the best-loved paperbacks in your collection (no word on whether the t-shirts come with the fusty old book smell though). I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t crave these shirts – and badly.

The one problem? Cost. At £27.99 a shirt, it’s something that a guy who took a non-vocational degree has to press his nose up to the glass for and save his pennies over the weeks. But save up I will, and end up splurging my cash on one. The question is which one to go for: ‘Animal Farm’, ‘The Great Gatsby’, ‘Catch-22′ or ‘A Clockwork Orange’? (PS. Truffle Shuffle, what’s up with not putting ‘Wuthering Heights’ on a guy’s tee? We like Bronte too!)

Replica Brad Pitt “Sock It To Me” Fight Club t-shirt

by Travis on April 20, 2012

The retro recreationists at Found Item Clothing have posted a new design (their first of 2012), Sock It To Me, and this one pulls no punches (groan…).

sock it to me design thumb Replica Brad Pitt Sock It To Me Fight Club t shirt

''The things you own end up owning you..''

Compare with the original, as worn by Brad Pitt in Fight Club.

fight club sock it to me 15 480x562 Replica Brad Pitt Sock It To Me Fight Club t shirt

''I want you to hit me as hard as you can…''

Found Item’s previous efforts have drawn accolades for fidelity to the source material, and in keeping with said ethos, they’ve printed SITM on both tees (American Apparel blanks) and custom made short-sleeve sweatshirts (which stays true to the garment in the movie).

Costiness = $22 (tee) | $37 (sssw)

In related news, Found Item’s blog, It Goes To 11, has a pair of new reads that will interest tee lovers: the first, 15 T-Shirts From Vietnam, is an assemblage of designs collected from abroad that traffics in both the curious and the cliche; the second is an interview with Jeremy Henrickson, a Vancouver-based graphic artist with a number of excellent movie and game-themed designs to his credit.
