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 we all know is famously made in downtown LA by massaged Mexicans*.
Costiness=$19 Buy it at Raygun
*I once read that AA employees are offered free massages and CEO/Founder Dov Charney likes to support immigrants to the US, especially as he is one himself.
This tee is actually sold out so if you liked it and weren’t happy before… maybe you should go play with a kitten or something to cheer yourself up.
This is actually a quote from Louis C.K., the hilarious comedian that I saw perform in Philly about a year ago, and regular readers will be well aware by now of how much I enjoy reminiscing about my three-month skint in the city of brotherly love. Louis makes a fair point, we have loads of awesome stuff nowadays, and people are happier than ever to complain. I think one of the examples he gave was about wifi on airplanes and some guy he was sat next to complaining that it was slow or didn’t work, as if he shouldn’t be amazed that he was flying (flying!) in the air. I have the same thing about mobile phones, people will just casually say “my phone sucks.” Really? You have something that goes in your pocket that can make a call to someone else on the other side of the planet in an instant, if you showed that to someone from the 18th century they’d probably execute you for being a witch.
Costiness=£41 (no wonder no one is happy!) It used to be available at Goodhood [via ATB]
This tee is at TeeFury, so there is a chance that by the time you read this unfortunately it won’t be available, which is the only problem I have with “tee a day” sites and why I don’t mentioned them much on HYA. If you’re after daily updates on those kind of sites, popculturetees and teemagnet will treat you well.
Regular readers will know that I have quite a large soft spot for Hokusai inspired designs, and I think that this is one of the finer examples that I’ve seen. At $11/$14 shipped (US/International) you can’t really go wrong.
Good old Snorg Tees, they’re always reliable for a Star Wars tee, and this one has the added side benefit of not being a played out concept.
