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.

Violent Elegance released a couple of new designs called, appropriately enough, Skull and Pyramid, which I figure is because one of the tees has a skull on it (with Mickey ears? scandalous!) and the other two have a pyramid on them. I like the way that they keep it simple (hey, that’s from the title!) and minimalist, especially with the black-on-black and white-on-white colourways.

All Violent Elegance tees are €32, which is a fairly premium price, but that does include worldwide shipping.
