remuse collective

Remuse Collective is an artist collective that try to dive a bit deeper with their art. Putting thought and ideas behind their designs rather then just throwing together pictures on a shirt. Printed on Anvil 980 or American Apparel for a modern fashion fit. Shirts are $20, I’d suggest picking one up.

Introducing Aussie T-shirt Label — T-bar

T-bar is an Australian t-shirt label that I’ve been watching for awhile now as their t-shirts seem to be quality stuff. Founded in 2006, their colourful selection of graphic tees is designed by a host of talented Australian and international illustrators. The blanks they print on are soft, comfortable and lightweight, as all good t-shirts should be. In addition to the regular crew neck tees for guys and girls, they also sell some designs on V-neck tees only, which I think is pretty smart as some designs just work better on V-necks.

You may be interested to know that T-bar currently has 23 stores across Australia and one in Singapore, so if you happen to live in or are headed to these countries, you may want to check them out as they seem to have a wider range of tees in-store. T-bar has also launched a new range of basics which is a collection that they’ll be building on.

Their tees are currently priced at one for AUD$40, two for AUD$69 and three for AUD$99. They’ll throw in free shipping if you get 3 or more tees too.

Since Treacle Clothing started printing graffiti tshirts  in early 2010 they have released 14 t-shirts so far, as well as a couple of tote bags, sweaters and prints. There are a few things about Treacle Clothing that make them unique, the attention to detail throughout the range and its packaging to the hand finishing of the garments. Treacle print on carbon neutral, ethically sourced cotton garments that are hand finished and printed in the UK, here are a couple of my faves, I think we will be seeing a lot more from Treacle this year!

Behind the scenes at Loviu

lvoiu production process

I am really hoping that Loviu manage to find a niche and stay on the scene in the long-term (‘tee a day’ sites are a brutal part of the tee world). They sent over these cool photos of their production process, I love seeing stuff like this because it’s still something of a mystery to me, and hopefully you’ll like taking a look too.

Limerence – really, really cool tees

Limerence CollageTee Medium 480x367 Limerence   really, really cool tees
Limerence FlyingHeartsTee 480x367 Limerence   really, really cool tees
It’s pretty rare that a t-shirt company stops me in my tracks (whatever that means, I sit at a desk about 10 hours a day), but Limerence did just that when I saw their designs. When I said a few posts back that I thought 2011 would be the year of the photo tee I was kind of joking, but just a few hours later my prophecy is coming true!*

Sure, they’ve got four shirts in the store, one is a logo shirt (a nice logo shirt, but still), and one is the name set onto photos which is cool though still a bit logo-y for my liking, but the other two are utterly stunning, I’m almost considering bookmarking the Addictive Love for a ‘best of 2011′ post that I will inevitably ‘forget’ to write next December when the lure of mince pies and mulled wine becomes too great. The shirts themselves are produced in the US, but I’m not sure what brand of blank is being used, I do know that the inks are eco-friendly though, so this shirt doesn’t melt the ice caps quite as much as many others do.

For a bit of background, Limerence is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which is also known as where all those Amish folks come from. Doug, the guy behind Limerence sources all the material for his designs from vintage managzines like a 1950s copy of LIFE or his parents yearbooks, or newspaper clipping, basically anything from before 1974. I’m not really sure where that puts him in terms of copyright law and I’m not going to pretend to have any idea about that kind of thing, but hopefully the images have been manipulated enough for them to be okay in the eyes of the law. It’s funny how willing people are to accept possible copyright infringement when cool tees are involved!

Their website could do with a bit more to it though, it’s just a Big Cartel storefront at the moment. There’s not really anything wrong with that, but they’ve clearly done a photoshoot, and Doug can clearly write judging by the e-mail he sent me, so why not pad out the site a bit more?

*2011 will also be the year of me getting a Ferrari and penthouse apartment in New York, in that case.

Happy New Year, Loviu

Thumbnail image for Happy New Year, Loviu

It’s hard to know how to feel when a new daily t-shirt site (in the mould of TeeFury) comes onto the scene, especially when it comes to someone like the fabulously named Loviu. On the one-hand, daily t-shirt sites have come and gone a lot recently, it’s very hard for them to reach the amount [...]

These tees are Bananas, B – A – N – A – N – A – S!

01.11.2010

Bananas Tees is a new t-shirt label on the block described by themselves as “fun, cool and relentlessly positive graphic tees for the unpretentious”. The range is the brain-child of illustrator and t-shirt fanatic Dale Edwin Murray, who having designed tees for countless clothing labels and bands, and won at almost every t-shirt competition site [...]

“Embrace Imperfection” t-shirt by Urban Sasquatch

Thumbnail image for “Embrace Imperfection” t-shirt by Urban Sasquatch

Time for another edition of “Andy’s a prejudiced douchebag!” I got an e-mail from the guys behind Urban Sasquatch Clothing, and in it they mentioned that they had been selling shirts at local hardcore metal concerts. That set off a few alarm bells in my head, I’ve been to hardcore metal shows, and the first [...]

OMGPOPTees – This means something to a lot of people

Thumbnail image for OMGPOPTees – This means something to a lot of people

You’d think that for someone that spends a large (possibly too large) proportion of their sat looking at two LCD screens I would know everything there is to know about the internet, and yet, somehow OMGPOP, their 6 million users, and being named as one of Time magazine’s top 50 websites of last year completely [...]

Thumbnail image for FrogFacedSouply, they’re new and British!

I’ve actually been hearing from the people behind this brand-new-brand for quite a long time, they haven’t just walked into the scary world of selling t-shirts blindfolded, they’ve checked things out and been prepping for launch for a long time, so I feel like they’re a lot more mature as a brand than some others [...]

Thumbnail image for LUVD make t-shirts that I… erm… like very much

LUVD are one of the best new brands I’ve seen come along in a while. They have a style that I feel a lot of people are into at the moment, myself included, fiarly simple with interesting use of typography, with a slightly vintage look and not too many colours, most of which are complimentary [...]

A few days ago on my Twitter I put out a call for t-shirt brands and stores to get in touch if they wanted to put a photo tour of their shop/office/aquarium on Hide Your Arms and Exposed Clothing were one of the first to respond (though, as store owner Chuck usually gets up at [...]

Artybuzz: The latest entrant into the POD art arena

Thumbnail image for Artybuzz: The latest entrant into the POD art arena

Artybuzz are a British company that will print and sell your art as tees and ‘hangable’ prints (obviously you can hang a tee, but I think you all understand the differentiation I’m making here). You could say that they sound an awful lot like MySoti and RedBubble, as all three companies offer roughly the same [...]

Say hello to Infinity Six Clothing

19.11.2009

Infinity Six is a clothing company that was born in August and has a small but growing number of interesting shirts on offer. Yes, all the tees have ‘Inifinity Six’ written on them underneath the main design, so you’d probably expect me to moan about that, but I’m clearly not going to change the clothing [...]

The Beautiful T-shirts of Extraweg

10.09.2009

Why did I put every tee from Extraweg’s 2009 line up there rather than picking one and putting the rest in the gallery? Because I think these tees are a bit too special to pick one over the rest. Extraweg are a German company that are clearly producing some really good looking tees, their website [...]

Dandelions by Rakes & Strays

08.09.2009

I think I might have fallen a little bit in love with Rakes & Strays, the new sister brand to EIO Clothing. They’ve got some of the most beautiful photo tees I’ve ever seen ever, ever, and because I know the EIO crew are behind it, I know the quality is going to be up [...]

An interview with the Hipstery (and a coupon code!)

I said on Tuesday that I was going to run an interview with The Hipstery ‘later this week’ and bam, midnight on Friday, here’s an interview with Willem Von Tinkel, it’s like I’m a professional or something! How did you come up with the idea for the site? Well the year was 1922 and the [...]

Say Hello To The Hipstery

02.09.2009

Usually when I see that a website has a manifesto, I roll my eyes and may even shake my head a bit, because generally clothing companies do not need a manifesto, they make clothes, not overthrow governments. However, The Hipstery do need a manifesto, because they have got quite a hard sell on their hands. [...]

Hirsute History, for people that like hair

17.08.2009

Shirts featuring the hair of famous people. Not like ‘Britney’ famous, more like important. Well, mostly. Oh, and some beards too. And that’s what Hirsute History do. I like the way that the site (yet another offshoot from Amorphia Apparel) has a concept and sticks to it, there’s no deviation from one design to the [...]
