DBD have reversed the concept of their logo for these tees, which usually have the skull as the larger head and the little face on the hat. The cool thing about this is that it is interesting to hardcore fans of the brand since it does represent something different to them, but to casual people approaching the brand for the first time it’s still wearable. Tees are £25 each and the varsity jacket is £50.

Joy Division Parody Is Awesome, Topical

by Travis on May 20, 2013

Let the record show — pun intended, guys — that this Joy Division spoof was developed prior to yesterday’s announcement that Yahoo had purchased Tumblr (* rolls eyes, shrugs shoulders *).

1369045696650 480x528 Aesop Rock and Nujabes at My Main Man Pat this week
50% hit rate this week for me at My Main Man Pat, meaning that I’ve heard of Aesop Rock but not Nujabes. 50% hit rate in terms of me liking the designs too, the Nujabes tee feels a bit off to me, it’s probably due to the shape of the stylized image, though with me knowing nothing of Nujabes work this might actualy be a very fitting tribute to the artists’ work.

As usual tees are available for one week and are $20 including shipping.

A week of indifference at laFraise

Usually I’m excited to see what laFraise have on offer at the start of a week, but unfortunately that’s not the case this time around. There’s nothing particularly wrong with any of the designs, they just don’t float my boat. Ah well, I’m sure they’ll be back on form next week. If you disagree you can pick one up for €23.

livefree Live Free by Country Fried T shirts [Submitted]

Say what you want this is my first time posting here, So please give me your critiques I think I can handle it.

Country Fried T-shirts

Andy: Well, if you do insist…

1. The picture quality for this mockup is awful.
2. Who is going to wear a shirt with this image on it? I know there’s a trend towards hot women on tees, but they’re usually photo tees, whereas this doesn’t look attractive and I doubt it does the model any favours.
3. What does the text add to the design?
4. One of the sliders on your website appears to be using elements from the Snorg Tees site.
5. There’s too wide of a variety of designs in your store, I have no idea what your brand is about.
6. Do you have a license to use those comic book covers that are found in your store?
7. On the positive side, the shirts seem well priced, and items like ‘Deal With It’, ‘Cry Baby’ and ‘Original Sailor’ are well designed and very wearable shirts, had that been the submitted design (and the store was pared down to the higher quality designs) then this would have been a much better review.

51 480x339 Life Sucks for The Clothing Face, but their tees dont
Pretty cool two-piece capsule collection from The Clothing Face entitled ‘Life Sucks’ that, as you’d imagine, focuses on how life can sometimes be hard. I could do without the back print on the work hard shirt (can you imagine walking behind someone wearing that?), but otherwise I like the simple typographic style.

They’re limited to 25 pieces of each design, and are £25 each with free UK postage.

 Check out the gorgeous new French brand Follow Your Bliss
 Check out the gorgeous new French brand Follow Your Bliss
 Check out the gorgeous new French brand Follow Your Bliss
Being a Brit it’s traditional for me to make fun of French people, and for them to do the same to us, it’s one of those friendly rivalries that used to mean something but now it’s just a bit of fun, just like Brits and Germans, Brits and Australians, Brits and Americans, and well, you get the idea. But there’s nothing I can think of making a joke out of with Follow Your Bliss, a new French brand that has based itself upon the philosophy of American writer Joseph Campbell. Usually I would mock any brand for claiming to have a philosophy, it’s one of those things that brands usually say to fill space on their about page, but in this case I actually believe it and find it to be an interesting idea to base the core of a brand around.

Tees are €29,90 each which is pushing a bit but we all have to remember that this stuff just costs more in Europe, and they are using green printing methods (though I can’t elaborate on the actual process) which I presume would push the price up a bit.

Take a look at Druu Clothing

Druu Clothing have got in touch with me a few times and it has taken me an almost-rude amount of time to get back to them, HYA gets a lot of e-mail and whilst I want to reply to everyone and cover everything, it is usually just not feasible. Here’s their blurb:

From urban origins, the indie label Druu has attracted the talents of various street artists from all over the U.K. and U.S. to share their work with the emerging brand. With much of DRUU’s influence coming from the skate/street art scene the brand has already amassed a significant following from its recent launch in 2013.

Producing all original designs on high quality materials DRUU has firmly established itself in the indie sector. And with a growing portfolio of underground and street artists contributing to the cause, the continuing influence of the brand looks certain to continue on both sides of the Atlantic.

On the whole, I like what I see, but I wish that the pop culture designs weren’t there. Even though I like those designs and appreciate the artwork, it would be great if they were using the talents of their designers to create original art rather than trading on the popularity of something that already exists, which could be risky in terms of copyright too, they could be told by a lawyer to stop selling them and then what happens to all those tees they’ve had printed? The original designs work better as t-shirts anyway, so fingers crossed that’s the direction that they’ll be moving in the future.

When we first took a look at True Tarpan I noted how professional everything looked for a first collection and how their presentation showed a level of experience beyond people who had been running for less than a week. Well, unsurprisingly, this second collection shows that same level of quality that they brought to the first, and there’s some really cool designs in the collection. One thing that stood out to me in their press release was this; “printed using a new revolutionary print technology that will ensure long lasting wear and are printed on high quality tees.” That’s got me really curious because they don’t specifically mention their printing technique, but I don’t keep my ear to the ground on these matters so maybe there is some revolutionary printing technique that’s sweeping the nation, who knows?

Price wise they are keeping things fair at £19.99 for a tee including free UK shipping (something I feel that they should make a bigger deal of on the website).

RIBMAN StanLee Shirtpunch 480x507 Big News: Stan Lees POW! Entertainment + ShirtPunch Are Teaming Up!

Well the title says it all, POW! Entertainment, founded by Stan Lee (yes THE Stan Lee, comic book icon) is teaming up with tee-a-day site, ShirtPunch.com, to bring you limited edition merchandise! Even better, the series of designs will all be Stan Lee inspired and will be sold throughout the year of 2013 on ShirtPunch.com! Another added bonus, these designs will be sold for only a 24-hour period – after that they are retired and never printed again. I say this is a bonus because that clearly means these designs will be so unique and limited, possibly making these some of the most rare Stan Lee collectables out there since they are only available for purchase in that 24-hour time… and who doesn’t like getting their hands on limited edition merchandise, especially ones featuring a legend like Stan!

The first of the twelve Stan Lee inspired tees to be produced at ShirtPunch.com is this one pictured above appropriately titled Stan the Master designed by none other than Captain RibMan! This t-shirt is up for sale today, Friday, May 17th on Shirtpunch.com, and ONLY for 24-hours you must remember. I do say, this is a great start to this series – I can’t wait to see what ShirtPunch and POW! Entertainment will bring us next!

I’ll leave you with this, a statement from the man himself, Stan Lee, about working with Shirtpunch, which also conveys the devotion he has to his fans:

“Comic and Entertainment fans are certainly the most passionate community when it comes to collecting high-quality limited edition merchandise of their favorite super heroes and movies. By partnering with ShirtPunch to offer flash designs, I feel I am creating something very special and unique for my fans that I think will set apart from other merchandise they may have but is incredibly accessible, affordable and fun to own.”
