Wrongworks say hello to Mr. Wrong

by Andy on May 11, 2012

By their own admission, this Wrongwroks shirt based on a song written by someone who is presumably very famous in Hong Kong (Wyman Wong) is pretty simple, but I still like it.

What’s new at Tshirt Laundry this week?

by Andy on May 10, 2012

I had to look it up, but the Capitol City t-shirt is apparently a Hunger Games reference, I still haven’t seen the film, so I guess I’ll have to catch it on DVD now. The magnets shirt will appeal to science fans, but my favourite of the week is “let’s get weird” which sounds like a failed catchphrase from a late-90s sitcom. Pretty nice bunch from Tshirt Laundry this week.

Kanji Kaz T-Shirts Say It With Character [Submitted]

by Kaz Watanabe on May 9, 2012

Konnichiwa! I moved from California to Maryland last year, and I couldn’t help but notice there is not a lot of Japanese culture in my part of the state. So, I started Kanji Kaz, a Japanese-themed T-shirt company that appeals to lovers of Japanese language, food and culture.

Kanji is one family of characters used to write Japanese. Kanji Kaz T-shirts illustrate a Japanese theme using Kanji, Katakana (another family of characters), English translation and pictures.

We are featuring our scarlet Love T-shirt for Mother’s Day. Japanese are tight-knit families and we all LOVE our moms.

Sushi and golf are incredibly popular in my native country of Japan too. Drop by KanjiKaz.com to shop and share a little of Japan with us.

Andy: Japanese food and culture? I’m in! Thanks for the submission.

“They Live” t-shirt from The Natives

May 4, 2012

I suppose it’s the pot calling the kettle black with me posting this t-shirt, I tell you several times a day to buy things and this t-shirt tells you “buy, submit, follow…” clearly suggesting that being one of the ‘sheeple’ is bad, and of course to some degrees I am right there with them. There’s [...]

Status Serigraph – Tees, Posters, & Sales, Oh My!

April 30, 2012

“Medicine heals the body, music heals the soul”, my thoughts exactly. Being a lover of music, I have been captured by this tee over at Status Serigraph. Showcasing just a small number of tees (it’s a small selection, but very nicely designed and that’s what really counts), Status Serigraph’s main focus is prints – and [...]

Notorietees: Shirts With Buzz

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 [...]

hhv.de: a German record store?

April 24, 2012

hhv.de is seemingly some sort of music shop based in Berlin that does a lot of tees (2970, to be exact). Berlin’s a long way to go to buy a t-shirt, but thanks to the joys of the internet (uhhh duhhhh) you can actually get a lot of pretty good designs for relatively little money. [...]

Literary tees from Truffle Shuffle

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 [...]

“Survival of the Richest” t-shirt by Trust Fund Kids

April 21, 2012

I’m not entirely sure if Trust Fund Kids is a brand steeped in irony, or if they’re a bunch of guys with more money than sense who will go around Europe one Summer in a van getting ill-advised tattoos and dreadlocks whilst they ‘find themselves’ and then go back to the US and assume their [...]

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

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…). Compare with the original, as worn by Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Found Item’s previous efforts have drawn accolades for fidelity to the source material, and in keeping with said [...]

I forgot how good Publik were until I saw their recent releases

April 19, 2012

I haven’t checked out what Japanese label Publik have been doing for a while, and as you can probably tell from the image and gallery above they’ve been doing a lot and they’ve been doing it well. Big name artists make up the shirts above including YUYA, Sho Watanabe, Graham Stark, Goeff McFetridge, Fly Productions [...]

New “Mighty Sucker” t-shirt from RockCandy

April 19, 2012

Really nice typework on the latest shirt from RockCandy. Costiness=£11.99 Buy it at RockCandy

“Counter” a typography shirt I don’t understand from Typography Shop

April 18, 2012

When I say I don’t understand this ‘Counter’ t-shirt, I mean it, I’m not trying to be cute and giving you guys a wink and nudge to post the answers or what you think it means, I genuinely don’t know since I don’t have a typography background beyond “hey, those words look nice.” Here’s what [...]

Great ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ Typography T-shirt at Ohh Deer

April 14, 2012

I think I’ve mentioned in the past that I really like Ferris Bueller, it’s one of those great movies aimed at young adults that just doesn’t get made anymore, and that’s a pity. This shirt celebrates the film with a very stylish take on Ferris’ iconic monologue from the movie. Costiness=£22 Buy it at Ohh [...]

New at Local Celebrity

April 12, 2012

The designs that Local Celebrity sell, especially this latest batch, aren’t the typical HYA style, but I feel compelled to post them since the quality of the shirts is fantastic, the samples I was sent a few years ago still look and feel great, and that has to be respected.

Great type tee from All or Nothing

April 2, 2012

All or Nothing got in touch to say howdy a few days back, so I checked them out and I’m pretty impressed by what I see from this UK brand. This fancy type tee caught my eye in particularly but they’ve got plenty of other interesting shirts in store too. Prices are good in UK [...]

Some really good new shirts at BustedTees this week

March 30, 2012

When I looked at the new shirts from BustedTees this week I was very impressed, I don’t have a favourite this week, I have three favourites (the Mount Rushmore parody, Mad Men x Superman, and the one about taking class outside). Well done BT, well done.
