Colus has some cool t-shirts

by Andy on April 13, 2011

colus havenga

I’ve been sleeping on the e-mail I got from Colus for way too long, which is unfair on both them and you because they’ve got some cool shirts. The designer (who I think is actually called Colus, is that a name?) hails from South Africa but now resides in San Diego, and I think that you can see an ever so slight hint of stereotypically African style in the designs because of that. They’re all black & white (you’ll find the rest in the gallery), which certainly goes a long way to making this first release look like a cohesive collection. I was going to say “there’s a lot of symbolism” like a hungover philosophy student trying to BS through a presentation, but if you want to get a bit deeper “Colus explores themes from morality to mortality with bold, contrast rich works with a symbolic tone leaving questions unanswered.” Tees are all $30 a pop and you can pick them up at ColusHavenga.com

a year of tees

I say going ‘old school’ because A Year of Tees is making a comeback, but isn’t following the same format as last year (adding a new t-shirt design every day). In reality, the comeback is more of a reissue, all of last year’s designs are being made available again after popular demand.

I’m not sure if this means that the store is going to be kept open indefinitely, but it’s certainly welcome to have all those designs available again, and I’m glad that Keith’s project is gaining more interest even though he’s ‘finished’ with it.

The World’s Best Ever T-shirt

by Andy on April 30, 2010

the world best ever t-shirt

There’s something really enjoyable about the bluntness and ambiguity of this shirt, it is what it is, and I have no idea what that is. Also, it reminds me of hat-fan Judah Friedlander.

Costiness=$15 Buy it at The World’s Best Ever

Lhome has undergone some changes over the past year, they’ve dropped all their previous shirts, and are starting a fresh with this beautiful tee, and some pretty beautiful promo pics to go with it.

Centerfold by Frank & Jan

January 14, 2010

I haven’t got a clue what the text says, but this tee is achingly cool, I love it, the only thing that would stop me from wearing it would be if the text said “the dude wearing this is a total tool.” Actually, I’d just say I was wearing it ironically and I’d probably be [...]

A4 T-Shirt by Little Factory

January 13, 2010

  I was under the impression that Americans didn’t use the same standardised sizes of paper that we do here in Britain and Europe, where we have a letter then a number to denote sizes, but this shop sells items in dollars, so I’m more than a little bit confused. Whatever, this is still a [...]

The Revenge of Phobos by Maroof at MySoti

January 9, 2010

I saw this tee on Rumplo and I was thinking to myself “I like this, quite a lot, but that type treatment down the bottom isn’t really doing it for me.” Clearly Maroof felt the same way, becayse when I clicked through to the MySoti shop page, the text had magically disappeared, wunderbar! Costiness=£14.18 ($20ish?) [...]

Open Your Eyes by T-Shirt Forums

Thumbnail image for Open Your Eyes by T-Shirt Forums

It would appear that sites that previously just talked about t-shirts selling their own t-shirts is becoming a bit of a theme this year. Me and Micah both announced tees back in December (and Micah’s is actually available to buy now), and now the T-Shirt Forums are putting out their own shirt based on designs [...]

Human Being by Origin68

January 4, 2010

      I saw this tee and was immediately reminded of the ‘Ingredients’ tee I featured back in August. They are fairly similar in concept (in fact there was a comment on HYA on Christmas day saying the previously mentioned Ingredients tee was ripping off Origin68, which obviously doesn’t take account of Ingredients going [...]

Squatch by Badd Habit

November 11, 2009

I really like the style employed on this tee, it looks more like a painting that a t-shirt design, yet it works well as a tee, probably because of the black & white colour palette. If it wasn’t called ‘squatch’ I would have presumed that this tee was about some creepy guy that hangs out [...]

Ontour is available at Roktic: This is a good thing

November 10, 2009

There’s no denying it, some of these designs are absolutely spectacular, and now it’s easier to get hold of Dutch brand Ontour in the UK than ever before, now that Roktic are selling them (and the only people in the country, at that). They’ve actually been selling Ontour for more than a month now, but [...]

Space Face by Das Monk

November 8, 2009

As a standalone design it’s okay, but could really be brought to life by a well planned outfit… not that guys plan this kind of thing, tough guys like me just throw on whatever they find… and we definitely don’t exfoliate. Costiness=AUD=$50.96 (until Thursday, when it goes up to $59.95) Available from Das Monk

Wood by Violent Elegance with €3 per tee going to Greenpeace

July 22, 2009

Whenever I see something like this tee and I know that a portion of the sales goes to a charity, I always think “why wouldn’t I just give money to the charity directly?” But I shouldn’t think that, because shamefully, I don’t give to charity as often as I feel I should, so if me [...]

Skyline Belt by Beetnik Aesthetics

February 27, 2009

This may not be a belt blog (now there’s a niche!), but you know what? It’s Friday night, so to hell with it! Also, I think I’m going to NYC tomorrow, which is home to a mighty-fine skyline, so this post almost makes sense. Costiness=$10 (bargain!) Buy it at Beetnik Aesthetics

Barack Obama Is The President of the United States

January 20, 2009

I know I’m jumping the gun a bit, but as it is officially January 20th here in the UK we Brits have entered Obama day, and I thought it would be remiss not to post a tee of Barack today considering the amount of Obama tees I posted in the lead up to the election [...]

S.O.S Tee by Lovefoxxx for Graniph [Review]

January 12, 2009

It’s quite cool that I received the tees that Lovefoxxx (the singer in CSS) because I usually get to write about lots of cool collaborations, and it doesn’t get much cooler than the Japanese-Brazilian singer from a hot indie band designing tees for a super-cool Japanese t-shirt company, but it’s usually pretty rare for me [...]
