T-shirt News for January 18th

by Andy on January 18, 2012

in Bricks & Mortar,funny,Horror,movies,News,Sales,T-shirts,Text/Typography

Any Dexter fans in the house? I’m sure this TeeFury design will be right up your street.

I don’t think that sounds like a good idea AT ALL. Shirt.Woot.

RIPT couldn’t decide on a reference today so they had to just use all of them.

I don’t get it. Nowhere Bad.

Awful lot of skulls today at Shirt Punch.

One for the atheists over at Stupidhurts.us.

I don’t watch Archer, but I’m fairly sure that’s what this TeeMinus24 shirt is referencing.

There’s a new Doctor Who t-shirt at 24Tee.

As long as you like all-over prints this shirt at DBH is rather lovely.

Hey look, Tilteed are selling that cool sushi t-shirt again.

Design Juices showcase 50 t-shirts with interesting typography.

T-Post are giving away the T-shirt Stories documentary DVD (which I can’t find anywhere in the UK, and I don’t know if I can order it off French Amazon) to people who subscribe to their tee service.

Green Day are running a t-shirt design contest, except you have to be part of their ‘Idiot Club’ to enter, and that has a $20 annual subscription, so you effectively have to pay to enter this contest… lame.

Miles To Go are running a poster sale until Friday.

Wrongwroks have opened a 2nd store in China, it’s fun to watch Tony’s brand expanding.

HYA isn’t going dark in protest of SOPA/PIPA (mostly because I don’t think anyone would miss it) but a lot of other websites are.

Rigu is still a thing.

Karmaloop have a video about L’il Wayne’s new clothing line (that doesn’t look at all like every other BAPE-esque brand out there), TRUKFIT.

604Republic have upped the prize in their design competition.

A couple of new t-shirts from Akufuncture

by Andy on October 16, 2011

in T-shirts

Akufuncture base their designs around Chinese culture and I applaud them for trying to do something a bit different in a sea of brands that seem happy to churn out what’s on trend at any given moment. Of course, it doesn’t matter to me that these designs are inspired by historic Chinese symbols, but it’s nice that there is some meaning behind the tees. The shirts are $20 a piece and available now.

Wrongwroks open a in Beijing, how big are they?

by Andy on September 18, 2011

in Bricks & Mortar

I knew that Wrongwroks was popular in Asia, but I didn’t realise that they had reached the point where they could open a store in Beijing. Yes, they’re sharing it with Stussy, but I think that association alone shows how much of a well respected an entity they are on that continent. I don’t think that there are any HYA readers in China (please leave a comment if you are), but on the off-chance that a HYAer is in Beijning you’ll probably want to check the store out, I presume that the address is in the image below. More pictures here.

50% off to Facebook Fans of Plastered Shirts [Submitted]

by Cat DiPaci on June 23, 2011

in News,T-shirts

Get Plastered! Plastered T-shirts is having a 50% off discount on shirts and accessories on their facebook fan page for just becoming a fan.
Plastered T-shirts is Beijing’s first street design brand. The designs are the products of collaborations with local artists to create T-shirt designs which remix the everyday images found in the streets of China.

Andy: I wasn’t expecting much when I clicked through to this brand, but actually things are a lot more intriguing than they first appear. The some designs have a modern feel that I would expect from an Asian streetwear brand, but they mash that with traditional Chinese imagery. The website is slightly dated, the typework let’s the look down a bit, but as they are obviously Chinese natives I think we can overlook their translated site not being quite up to scratch. The shirts are $25 each, so they’re pretty cheap when that discount comes into play.

Rumours of Linty Fresh’s death have been greatly exaggerated.

by Andy on March 22, 2011

in T-shirts

It wasn’t so long ago that I was musing over whether Eric Terry’s Linty Fresh had bitten the dust after several months of silence and little in terms of news from his store. Then at the weekend I randomly saw a message about LF belts on my twitter feed, I even retweeted it I was so shocked. Then yesterday came news from Eric that he had released some new tees. He’s back in the game!

Of course, seasoned LF veterans will notice that these designs aren’t new, so what’s the big deal? The shirts are cut to the exact specifications that Eric wanted at a factory he has visited several times in China. Beyond that, the materials are even matching the same pantone colour of the original design, which I think is a really neat trick. The cut is the same dimensions as an American Apparel shirt (good idea), but slightly thicker to make it more durable (which may affect how it changes in the wash compared to an AA tee), and Eric is now using “Japanese fashion ink” which apparently won’t crack peel or fade. I don’t know what Japanese fashion ink is, but all the shirts I’ve received from Japan have good printing, so it’s probably no bad thing. The new shirts are $22.99 each, which is a slight rise on the old tees (I think), but as it is all custom I can see where the extra costs come in.

Hopefully soon we’ll start seeing new designs from Linty Fresh.

Made in China T-shirt

10.03.2010

I think it’s funny how years ago Americans knew lots of their stuff was made in China, and that was fine, but now that the Chinese economy is a lot bigger all of a sudden stuff being from China is scary. Funnily enough, this tee is actually printed on an American Apparel t-shirt, which as [...]

Linty Fresh’s contribution to Black Friday madness isn’t particularly crazy, still welcome

27.11.2009

Not exactly a huge BF offering from Linty Fresh, but as Eric is in China trying to run the American side of things and get the Chinese arm of LF up and running I’ll let it slide. It had taken me until last week to realise why Eric had stopped tweeting and blogging, I’m pretty [...]

Tired of the City by Linty Fresh

04.11.2009

We don’t seem to have been hearing too much anything from Eric Terry, the fellow behind Linty Fresh, since he moved to China more than a month ago. Maybe his usual communications channels are blocked where he in behind the Great Firewall of China and he’s not able to keep us updated. I’ve really enjoyed [...]

Rebel Bowels from Linty Fresh

02.09.2009

Hopefully Eric hasn’t released this tee because he expects to have tummy troubles with the food now that he has moved to China permanently. You hear quite a lot of stories about tainted food in China, but when I was there (and I recognise that Hong Kong can be viewed as China-lite) I was pretty [...]

China in a Box by William de Almeida for Camiseteria

05.08.2009

It’s a good concept (various icons of China in a takeaway box), and it’s executed well (though the colourway doesn’t really ‘pop’ for me), but… and you probably had the same reaction as me… did they really want to use that image on the product page? Costiness=R$40 Available from Camisteria (non-Brazilians need to e-mail them [...]

Akufuncture are a bunch of characters

03.03.2009

We’re all pretty used to seeing the world’s of Japan and streetwear colliding (I guess that to a lot of people streetwear=Japan), but China and streetwear is a bit less of a common occurrence. Akufuncture are trying to change that, creating an urban fashion line combined with Chinese culture in the form of a series [...]

Fifty Thousand Shirts [Review]

21.01.2009

I really, really wish that I could give this the thumbs up, I am sincere when I say that, but I’m afraid that I just cannot hide the fact that I am disappointed by the way that the Fifty Thousand Shirts project has concluded. When I first wrote about the project back in May I [...]

Kiks Tyo’s Olympics tee won’t be around for long

08.08.2008

I say that this won’t be around for long for two reasons: 1) It’s limited to 100 pieces worldwide. 2) I doubt that they’ve got a license for it, and the IOC aren’t particularly well known for being cool with people making use of their magic rings. I quite like the print on the back, [...]

One x Fifty Thousand (Chinese Earthquake Charity Tee)

22.05.2008

I’m sure that you’ve all heard about the earthquake (and following aftershocks) that have devastated large areas in China, leaving around 34,000 dead, 29,000 missing, and almost 5 million left homeless. At times like this the design community often attempts to finds ways to help that go beyond just giving money, and the above tee [...]

Smile Big Hoodie by Touma @ eno

18.04.2008

I’ve clearly gone a bit Asian with today’s product picks, first a tee from Hong Kong, and now a hoodie from a store in mainland China.This hoodie totally reminds me of the infamous Shark hoodie by A Bathing Ape, except happy rather than angry, and not a shark… so basically the only connection is that [...]
