Most of you probably don’t realise who Jason Cosper is, but he was the first guy to run a blog about t-shirts (and even if he wasn’t the first, he was the best),
Preshrunk.org. That blog has been quiet since April (and pretty quiet for the past couple of years, really), but there’s still a lot of good stuff in the archives, and I probably wouldn’t have started HYA if I hadn’t been a Preshrunk fan, so I guess I owe him quite a lot.
Fortunately, this isn’t one of those occasions when I feel compelled to write about something just because of the person that did the design (you can tell which posts they are, right?), because I like Experimental Jetset style tees (yes, I am gathering links for an upcoming list, naturally), and I really like Mad Men. I’m a few episodes behind Americans, so the finale is a long way off for me, but I’ve really enjoyed the season so far, if anything you should be jealous that I still have more episodes to watch!
Incidentally, the original Experimental Jetset designs are being re-issued by a Japanese brand called Publik, after many years of not being officially available.

It’s a good thing that Jason started posting at Preshrunk again otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to contact him to be the latest person who reveals what it is that “hides their arms” (patent pending). Ever the modest fellow, it took him time to adjust to the fact that I wanted his opinion on clothing, but when it became clear that I hadn’t made a mistake I got the following gold nugget of information:
I’d love to be involved so long as you realize that you weren’t
trying to ask Josh Spear what’s covering his arms…
It might make you cry, but the lion’s share of my hoodies are plain black Dickies ones, sans the thermal lining and washed enough times in warm water to fade them down to more of an Asphalt color.
The only hoodie I own with anything other than pasta sauce or refried beans – I’m a messy eater sometimes – decorating it is the fantastic 1337 hoodie from Little Gamers. Well, I should say that I used to own it. You see, it’s such a sweet hoodie that I sort of loaned it out to my girlfriend and now she refuses to give it back.
*shrug* Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.
He also gave me a link to his original post where he gives a less sauce and girlfriend based review.
