hotel du nord t-shirt

pdtimg 1334878b 480x335 Hotel Du Nord t shirt by Sapristee
I suppose that with Sapristee being a French company this shirt wouldn’t be all that exciting to native-speakers, but for an Englishman such as myself it has a certain exotic quality to it that makes it more attractive to me, and the style is really nice too.

Costiness=19.90€ Buy it at Sapristee

McBess at Dudes Factory

by Mr Four Fingers on March 16, 2012

McBess - Dudes Factory

boxer white 441x5552 McBess at Dudes Factory

drum motive 441x5551 McBess at Dudes Factory

meat portrait hoodie heather grey 441x555 1 11 McBess at Dudes Factory

I was recently introduced to the world of Mc Bess when visiting a friend who had a print of his on their wall. Afterwards I looked more into this French artist and found a world that seemed familiar and yet so new at the same time.

McBess sells his his t-shirts through, Berlin based, Dudes Factory where you can pick up t-shirt for €29 and they are all printed on American Apparel. There is also some hoodies (€55), custom t-shirt design builder and loads of original art if you are interested. His website does state that the t-shirt are €35, but I have a feeling that this is incorrect.

The Dudes Factory website itself has a load of other great designers, it’s slick and kinda makes me feel jealous that I’m not a part if it! I recommend a visit.

bulgogi burger decate t-shirt

bulgogi burger 4 480x450 Bulgogi Burger t shirt by Decate
I’m not being stupid am I? This is a printed t-shirt, right? It’s not been crocheted?

How great is the concept of a bulgogi burger? My mouth is literally watering at the thought. Dammit I wish I lived within a few hundred miles of a Korean restaurant.

french star wars t-shirt

Just when I think I’ve seen all the Star Wars t-shirts in the world, Junk food come up trumps with that old geek classic, pretending that just because it’s foreign it’s better (thought it is a lovely design, to be fair).

je t'aime la discotheque

If you went to a British school anytime in the last 20 years you would have heard someone say this during a French lesson. I wonder if French lessons in schools now actually have any bearing on what people want to know when they’re learning French, the swear words, and how to ask for things when you’re on holiday.

Après Moi, Le Déluge

We could go into the deep-and-meaningful about this phrase (attributed to Louis XV), but that’s not my place, even if I have got that politics degree which has clearly been a lot of use to me as a tee blogger and occasional van driver. Let’s just appreciate it for what it is, a really cool, very wearable t-shirt.

OK KO by Kreadid for LaFraise

February 10, 2009

I’m sure that the model being a bit of a cutie is swaying me somewhat, but I find this tee absolutely beautiful, and for something this simple to make its way past the rigours of voting in a design competition (laFraise in this case), where people usually expect visual flair, makes me even more impressed [...]

Ce Soir by Insight @ Karmaloop

February 19, 2008

I actually met a guy from Insight during my trip to London, and I was impressed with what I saw, then a few days later I spotted a new range of Insight gear available at Karmaloop. I didn’t really get much info from Insight (some great stickers though!), so I won’t be doing a follow-up [...]

French KISS by Tom Burns @ Lucky Threadz

Whilst I severely doubt that this design will reach the pantheons of greatness that Tom’s other famous design, the Communist Party, have achieved (it ain’t got no Threadless juice!), this is a damn good t-shirt design.Costiness=$16 Link [thanks, Karl]

Les hommes naissent libres et lego by La Fraise

February 6, 2008

I don’t get the joke on this design (something about equality maybe?), as is oft-discussed on these pages my French can get me, food, drink, directions and and pretty much anything in a builder’s merchants, but I don’t really understand the much else. Still, a very timely release from the La Fraise team since Lego [...]

‘Sous les pavés, la plage’ by Simon Faircliff

February 5, 2008

When I first looked at this tee I thought “aha, you’re not getting me this time, Faircliff, this t-shirt is all about going to the beach!” Then I sat back, impressed with my ability to understand the French language, although admittedly the bucket and spade was pretty helpful. Oh, Andy. Andy, Andy, Andy, how wrong [...]

Rabbit Sanctuary by Angry Retail

February 1, 2008

I think I like this tee, but its just so hard to tell when the picture above is all that I have to go on. When a tee has some large text on it, that would be fine, but this tee is made up of lots of little elements, it practically begs for a few [...]
