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.

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!

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.

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.
