A blog about hoodies & t-shirts, with news from the independent clothing world


Remember that t-shirt that had a glove stitched onto it? Yeah, that was fun, wasn’t it? Turns out that itself, the company behind the infamous Glove Pocket tee, aren’t just a one-hit wonder, they’ve got more tees that don’t suck, and I handily put pictures of them into the gallery. The black tee is called ‘Never take Candy from a Strange Thing‘, this seven-colour pastel print is yet another great design from Wotto, and marks a departure from itself’s previous minimalist style. ‘More tape‘ is far more in keeping with what I’d expect from these guys, a black and white colourway that’s also kinda funny.

Both of these designs are winners of the Itself design competition. The prize package for winners is pretty substantial, you get $1750 in cash and $250 in ‘itself-coins’ (…store credit), and if your tee is popular and sells out its initial run you’ll get the same again for the second print run of 3000 tees.

I found this on Flickr, and then it was the tee of the day on Rumplo, so I got to cover two of my features in one post (Flickr Finds & Rumplo Rocks), jackpot!

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen gloves stitched somewhere that you wouldn’t expect, although when you see them on a hoodie it makes sense, they’re there to keep you warm, but when you put a glove onto a t-shirt you get something that is a whole lot more weird, wacky and pretty darned wonderful. Of course, you don’t have to put your hand in it, Here Itself suggest that you could put your ID, wallet, or iPod in it. May I suggest you go post modern with it and put an oven mitt in there?
