A new independent clothing company, Above Unknown opens it’s doors next month. Only 3 tee’s available on launch date but more already more in the works. bosh!
Andy: The shirts look pretty good, but what are people meant to do with this submission, mark it on their calendar to check back next month? T-shirt brands, I know it’s easy to get excited before your brand is launched, and it’s important to get your name out there, but I would recommend not submitting your brand to places like HYA until you actually have somethng on sale, or it will be on sale within the next few days, because in an age when there are thousands of places to buy shirts right now, very few people will remember to check back later.

I’ve previously worked with Awesome Merchandise to get some T-Shirts printed. I jumped straight in feet first into the deep end and tried to pursue my dream of selling T-Shirts. I’ve approached this the wrong way and only now just checked out a sample pack from them. For £7 I received a whole slew of sample goodies.
1 x T-Shirt
25mm Badges (regular, neon and metallic)
38mm Badge
58mm Badge
25mm Magnet
58mm Magnet
Bottle-Opener Keyring
Pocket Mirror
Stickers (regular and vinyl samples)
Plectrum
Flyer
Postcard
Business Card
Poster
On to the review. I’m currently wearing the T-Shirt and the material certainly feels good against my skin. It’s a Gildan’s heavy weight shirt, I’ve previously purchased soft shirts from Awesome Merchandise and while it certainly is heavier it’s not a dramatic difference but perhaps in the forthcoming summer a lighter weight shirt may be more applicable. The design of the shirt is interesting featuring 3 cats having a party. As we all know cats + internet = winning formula. The shirt certainly isn’t going to win any awards and turn heads but it might be a bit too much to expect a stellar design for a sample shirt. This isn’t a shirt style I’d usually wear but it’s certainly a design that would cheer up any gloomy day.
As for the printing quality of the shirt I can’t fault it. It’s excellent value for money and from previous experience with the company their t-shirts wash and iron well and don’t warp at all in the wash.
My one niggle with the shirt is that they don’t appear to offer sample shirts of different colours. I’m not a fan of white shirts and it’d be a nice option to be able to ask for a different coloured sample.
If you’re a budding t-shirt designer and want to see what your designs would look like when printed I’d recommend Awesome Merchandise for their quality and value, they frequently offer deals for shirts and not only bulk print but do one-off runs. Even if you don’t want to print T-Shirts and just fancy a random design from them, you can’t go wrong with £7 for a shirt and a whole bunch of goodies.

Kid Robot‘s new apparel collection will be dropping on March 29th for Spring. Featuring a variety of different designs on both men and women’s shirts. There is certainly something here that will take your fancy. My personal favourite of the collection has to be the rabbit’s head with the knife through it. It’s vibrant colours and punk influences appeal to my taste. I hope they will be offering a range of different shirt colours because the blue just doesn’t do it for me. Check out Kid Robot’s website to see some of their other fantastic designs.
Mike over at Crazy Go Lucky got in touch to let me know that he just put a couple of shirts up for pre-order, and if you take the plunge early (up until March 14th) then you’ll be rewarded with a 10% discount and get the shirt for $18. They’re expected to ship in mid to late April, which probably feels like longer than it is since I keep thinking it’s still February.
