I’m pretty sure that David hasn’t had the chance to set up a photoshoot for this latest round of releases, seeing as he usually has studio-style photos of his tees up, but I didn’t want to wait for that to let you guys know about these new designs and colourways, including Miniboss, the name for which came from a T-Shirt Day competition.

To our American friends, I can’t remember if you understand the term ’satnav’, if not, it’s what we Brits call ‘GPS’. On the subject of GPS, last weekend I went to Manchester, but I forgot to grab my TomTom on the way out of the house, but then remembered that I had an iPhone, and the maps app guided us all the way to my friend’s house (admittedly, I had a friend telling me directions off the map, but still). Can you imagine if you had a time machine and went back even twenty years and showed them an iPhone, they’d probably be so amazed that they’d drop their Rubik’s cube in astonishment, and not just because you arrived using a freakin’ time machine.

Anywho, howie’s tee of the week takes us back to a dark time before GPS when we actually had to take notice of our surroundings and know where we were. I know that they need the ‘before satnav’ for the joke to make sense to people looking at the shirt, but I think it would work better as a design if they dropped the caption, though of course it wouldn’t be a jokey shirt then, just one with a few constellations on it. Not the cheapest of tees at £25 a pop, but organic cotton doesn’t come cheap.

This is actually a reprint, so it’s not the freshest of designs, but I missed it the first time around, so I thought I’d share this piece of Wotto collage loveliness with you. Close-ups in the gallery.

If you’re looking for consistently excellent designs, you don’t need to look much further than Tolky Monkys. They have a style that they stick to and they do it damn well. This time around they have changed things up a little bit in that they’re using more of the tee as a canvas by print much closer to the edges of the shirt. Also, they’re finally started printing shirts in women’s XL sizes, by popular demand.

Pandy Cane is a British-based brand all about pandas and candy, which I do believe is one of the most niche-y of niches I’ve ever covered on HYA. The designs are pretty swee… sorry, cool, especially the one pictured which is obviously a play on the King Kong story. I’d like to see them following that kind of idea more, taking famous images and transplanting candy and pandas into them, not that there’s anything wrong with a simple panda + candy cane design.

Every order from Pandy Cane receives some extra goodies in their box along with the tee, like a CD/poster/stickers, which is always a little bonus, and, all UK orders qualify for free shipping. As if all of that wasn’t enough, how about a HYA exclusive coupon code? You’ll get 15% off anything in the store with the code hideyourarms. Awesome!

It may have taken a ridiculously long time to come to fruition, but LaFraise are finally shipping tees to the U.S. and Canada from their main site. Now I won’t have that little twinge of guilt that I would always feel whenever I posted one of their tees, because most of you reading this are American, so the LaFraise posts were more than a little bit of a tease. Hallelujah!

If you were worrying about shipping rates from Europe over the the US, then don’t, at least not for this weekend, because they’re offering free shipping until midnight Sunday (CET, presumably) with the coupon code FREESHIPJUNE09. So, are any of you going to be taking up this offer now that you can make purchases from what is probably Europe’s finest t-shirt design competition?

In other Strawberry news, their initiative for T-Shirt Day is to give away 500 tees to a charity nominated by you, and by you I mean probably not you specifically but someone else. You have until 6pm CET on June 19th to make your suggestions, and all the details can be found here.

It’s taken a while, but Jon Kruse (the guy behind Mediocore Clothing and the How To Start A Clothing Company blog) has launched his latest venture, Shred Clothing, along with a few other guys I don’t know but am sure they’re probably swell fellas.

As you can probably tell from the picture above, the designs have a decidely 80s/horror/metal look about them, which is something I’ve never been able to get into, but I know that a lot of people like it (have you seen Emptees?), so each to their own. At least the designs have been done well, so whilst the content isn’t necessarily for me, I can most certainly appreciate the skill that’s gone into designing each tee.

I don’t know how long this offer is going to last (so you’d probably better get on it), but you can bag yourself a coupon code for 25% off an order if you sign up for their mailing list… now!

I guess you could call this a shameless attempt for me to get extra traffic to HYA, and you’d be right. I don’t really understand what all the fuss is about Twilight, I guess it’s the new Harry Potter. I was at lunch in Philly one day across the street from a rock venue/bar called The Khyber, and there was a queue of women (who all looked the same, which was weird) who had obviously been queuing for quite some time, some had self-made t-shirts for a band called 100 Monkeys, some people had monkey hats, someone even had an inflatable banana. I guess it was pretty obvious that my friends and I were confused as to 1) who were 100 Monkeys, and 2) why were people queuing up several hours before a gig to see them, as a group of people from the queue told us that they were waiting to see “Jackson from Twilight’s band.” Naturally, when he and the rest of the band arrived, I expected Beatle-mania, but things were actually pretty calm and no one tried to cut off a lock of his hair for their vampire-styled shrines.

Anyway, whilst I was learning the fascinating news that Robert Pattison was issuing Kristen Stewart an ultimatum to get serious about their relationship (I hate myself for writing that, and admitting I know about it), I noticed that Kristen was wearing a pretty cool tee in the accompanying shots, and whilst I was searching for the tee I found that Robert Pattison had been spotted in the same design (possibly even the same tee). Two birds, one stone, I love it!

The tee has ‘Delicious Vinyl’ written on it, which made this celebritee sleuthing really rather easy since I just had to Google it, but hey, I did find the tees..

In their words:

My clothing line, Grim Threads, blends the darkness of the macabre with bright, bold colors of graffiti
and street art.

It’s unusual to find a brand that has designs focused on the more macabre side of life (though I don’t find these designs to be that ‘dark’), and yet they’re totally onboard with non-depressing colourways. It’s unusual, and I like it.
