I’ve never really been all that into Halloween, but apparently its gaining in popularity back home, and the French seem to be big fans of putting decorations up, though I haven’t seen a single carved pumpkin yet (possibly because the fruit & veg here starts rotting after a day or so).

Friends of the mustache can rejoice, because Fuzzy Ink have put all the tees from their first series on sale at just $9.95 a pop. They’ve also released some very cool looking belts, and a track jacket with their name on it.

Straight from their mailout:

We’re very excited to announce the release of four new tees (part of Series 2) printed on the softest materials known to man, animal or plant (yes plant). As usual each shirt has that wonderful tag-less feel and comes with a few delectable goodies to boot. Additionally, we’ve teamed up with the effervescent Craig ‘Wotto‘ Watkins yet again to bring you You’re Nick’d Guv, an absolutely bonkers design featuring a cheeky front and back print (a Fuzzy Ink first!!…and def. not last:). One of the designs, Vernacular Spectacular, also offers a more lady-like shirt color as opposed to the male option (this is the game-plan for future tees as well).

When you receive a sample package and a fake mustache falls out of the envelope, you just know that you’re dealing with a company that gets what selling tees on the internet is all about. I know its just a fake mustache, but I always think that unnecessary extras are what separate indie clothing stores from mainstream labels, these guys are cutting into their profit margins just to have a bit of fun and put a smile onto someones face, and that is most definitely a good thing.
The design itself.is quite an odd thing to find on a t-shirt. I wore it on a night out, and it got a decent amount of reaction, most people were confused by the tee, thinking that the character was someone from a movie, or at least someone that they should recognise. As far as I can tell, this design is just a regular Joe Everytache getting a hefty punch in the face, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a rather odd choice for a design subject, but there’s no denying that this is a very well finished design. The paint splatters on the disembodied wrist are a good way to deal with the common problem of how to draw a limb when you don’t want to put a whole arm or body in the design, the spit and tooth popping out of the characters mouth is a great touch, and the swirling background is a great way to portray the stunning effect of the punch.
Fuzzy Ink to do not disappoint when it comes to quality. I’m not sure what their stock tee is, but it does feel very soft, and has a slightly stretchy quality to it. When I was taking the pictures it looked as if this tee was pretty wide in the body, which is odd because they claim an athletic cut to their tees on the Fuzzy Ink FAQ page, although I guess that my unfortunately still-rotund frame may well have given it a bit of a stretch when I wore it since I haven’t washed it yet. Print quality is decent too, good and bright. There is a tag printed on the inside neck and a small logo print on the neck, I think they’ve kept the print subtle to ensure that it isn’t too intrusive for those of you that don’t like logo prints.Costiness=$17.95 Tee Link (Flash site, so no product links available)

I feel kinda sorry for Fuzzy Ink, every time someone mentions them, they also have to mention Fantastic Bonanza’s Fancy Mustachio design, and of course, Mustache & Friends. Some people might be thinking that they’re jumping on some kind of mustache based band wagon, but let’s think about this, take a look at their site, you don’t wake up one day and go “mustache’s are popular at the moment for some reason,” whip up a site and some t-shirt designs, it takes time, quite a lot of time judging by the polished job they’re done on the site.
The designs are surprisingly original, I never thought I was going to see another original ‘Say Anything’ parody until I saw John Cusack holding a mighty mustache aloft, so clearly the Fuzzy Ink crew are willing to put ‘taches pretty much anywhere that they see fit.

One really cool idea that they’ve had is to give people the chance to get an 11% discount their order by answering a trivia question correctly. I don’t know what the questions are, but it might be a good idea to bone up on famous people who have mustaches.
