Shirts featuring the hair of famous people. Not like ‘Britney’ famous, more like important. Well, mostly. Oh, and some beards too.
And that’s what Hirsute History do. I like the way that the site (yet another offshoot from Amorphia Apparel) has a concept and sticks to it, there’s no deviation from one design to the next, and having historical figures rather than pop culture icons from today is a plus too, I’d rather have Nikola Tesla on my chest than Paris Hilton (so to speak). You can also get 10% off your order by using the coupon code HIRSUTE between now and August 22nd.
You know how
hipster guys all had beards, then they all had mustaches, and apparently all of them have poor eyesight because they need to have thick-rimmed glasses? I’m pretty surprised that monocles haven’t become the latest trend. By the way, if monocles become a trend now, one, I called it, and two, you can blame me for all the people wearing monocles looking like tools.
Sir Critter is a new brand from Jeremy Kalgreen (the Amorphia/Tech the Controversy guy) that’s all about classy animals… thus all my monocle based chatter. Here’s the blurb:
Sir Critter ~ Hey Nature, Why not class things up a bit?
Isn’t it about time nature got with the program and started showing a little refinement, maybe even a hint of elegance? For some reason animals just can’t seem to get their act together, so let us provide nature an example to live by with these fine t-shirts emblazoned with classy critters.
As you may have gathered from the picture above, the designs all run along a fairly similar theme, but they’re pretty funny so I’m going to allow such a lack of diversity.

The last two
IT Crowd posts of this current series are a bit late because of the Christmas break, and because I didn’t actually expect C4 to broadcast new episodes during the festive season, presuming that they’d have “Top 100 Christmas Moments” or something like that running in the 9pm Friday slot. Unlike my poor show for tee coverage on the
4th episode of this series (which has now had the blanks filled in by readers – love you guys!), I’ve managed to find all of them this time around… huzzah!
The tee at the top of this post is called Filthy Panda and is available from Genki Gear for £15 (mens, womens), or you can get the size XL at Play.com for £10 with free delivery.
The second tee of the week was from someone you see fairly regularly on HYA,
Amorphia Apparel. The t-shirt is obviously a reference to the
Alien franchise, and can be yours for the low price of $12.49 if you
visit this link.
The last tee that Roy wore in episode five was pretty easy to find to be honest, all I needed to do was Google
“Laugh this off twinkletoes” and I found out that this tee was related to a comic produced by 2000AD. Finding somewhere that had the design on
sale was rather more troublesome. It isn’t available at
Amazon,
Play, or a number of other smaller retailers, and it is only
available in size small in the official 2000AD shop. I guess it’s entirely possible that they’ll reprint the twinkletoes tee after the exposure it has been given by the show, but I’m afraid that unless you’re a small guy, you’re out of luck.
Like a lot of people, Jeremy, the guy behind all those brands mentioned above, has decided that one of the best way to kick off the new year is with a
coupon code. All you have to do is use the coupon code
NEW19 at the checkout and the discount will be applied, providing you had $20 worth of goods in your basket.

You’d have thought that
Black Friday would have been the high point for
sales, but I think my inbox has actually been seeing more hot sale action than ever before over the past week or so. If I wrote a post about every deal I think I’d still be writing about them after Christmas, so instead of that, what follows will be an orgy of savings.
