Here we go! I hunted down my own company to review for Hide Your Arms. This company is called Culture Cloth, their website ‘http://culturecloth.com/‘ is currently under construction hopefully looking to launch in 33 days time! I actually discovered these guys in their Etsy Store which stocks a massive 191 items at the moment, massive selection of items in a selection of different colours.

My fiancé Nicholas is awesome modelling their ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ tee above. All their tees are available on a selection of colours and are made to order however I do feel that this design works particularly well on the yellow tee. The design takes over the whole chest area and the print actually get’s better as it’s washed. It’s not like an iron on transfer, it’s comfortable, bends and softens as it washes.

As mentioned before the selection of designs is epic, they have a massive collection of your favourite cinematic characters and musicians covered. Their ‘thing’, their gimmick is the nose of their designs is normally a different colour than you would expect.  This little original oddity is borne from the childhood of one of the company’s founders.

Nicholas also got this amazing Christian Bale American Psycho t-shirt on the white coloured tee. I adored this one, probably by far my favourite of the ones we received. It has a super expensive look about it and gets people’s attention. I am wearing an orange Willy Wonka tee. If I am honest I was a bit disappointed with the ones for me, they weren’t proper girly fit t-shirts, I basically got what felt to be a small guys tee. I don’t understand why tee companies would actively choose to only cater to 50% of the population. Guys tees on girls aren’t comfortable or flattering. Edited to say that you can get girly fit tees via their RedBubble store but I can’t review these as these aren’t what I received and I haven’t actually bought anything from RedBubble before.

I do sometimes find with guys tees you can save them and make them more feminine but with a lot of the ones from Culture Cloth a lot of the detail on the tee is at the bottom so if you tuck it in you’re affectively losing a third to half of the design. They have quite a few Star Wars designs my favourite of them is this Chewbacca one!

I do however adore the tee above, this Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany’s tee has design placement perfect for tucking in, gorgeous vibrant blue tee and super colour print and amazingly created design. One of my favourite tees, doesn’t even bother me that it isn’t proper girly fit!

In my contact with the company owner he is super pleasant and I’d imagine the level of customer service is super high. I think they are probably better for gifts for guys or tees for guys though, although if you can get a nicely central placed design like the Audrey Hepburn one about they can be fantastic for girls too. You aren’t going to find a selection of tees like this anywhere else and perfect for hunting down an original tee from a niche movie or cult classic TV show.

As well as the forthcoming Culture Cloth website, you can visit their Etsy Store, Red Bubble Store and they are on Twitter too ‘@culturecloth’!
