While Movember has men around the world sprouting facial hair and raising awareness on important men’s health issues, it also has many a girlfriend counting the days until December first. One Less™ Nemesis is happy to help the ladies celebrate with its brand new design, One Less Mustache.
The One Less Mustache design features a full and fluffy mustache being chased by its arch-nemesis, the razor. Printed in Seattle on 100% combed, ring spun cotton quality t-shirts, the light blue One Less Mustache shirt is a great gift or a great way to celebrate the end of the unwanted ‘mo.
One Less Mustache, along with One Less Rainy Day and One Less Cupcake, are all on sale for $19.99 (reg. $24.99) through December 14.
Andy: With all that Movember talk I was expecting there to be a charity angle to this submission, but apparently not.

Loads of new stuff up at Fuzzy Ink, including 6 new vintage-style shirts from their collaboration with the Movember Foundation, three new designs from their regular line of mustache-inspired tees, some of their most popular designs being put on cases for the iPhone 4/4S, and last but not least, a very clean and slick new website. I like the new site, it puts the new products front and centre, making it easier for a customer to see what they’re all about.

Wow, that is one informative title!
I have to wonder about the Chalky/Boardwalk Empire shirt though, because the name/term Chalky is racist (this is possibly better known in the UK because of a character played by racist comedian Jim Davidson), and not everyone in the world has seen Boardwalk Empire so wouldn’t get the reference, which I can see upsetting a few people. I’m going to push the concept here, but if Chalky’s nickname was ‘the N-word’ would BustedTees have released a similar tee? My guess is no. I realise that I’m probably over-thinking this, but the design made me think.
Oh, and the Power Rangers lived in Angel Grove, so that’s the connection with that high school shirt.

I was so excited when I got home from work a couple nights ago as my mom places all my mail on my work desk and I was pleasantly surprised to find amongst all my bills was a pretty package from Motivate Clothing Company. Still fairly new to blogging on here, this will be my very first review and this is the perfect company for me to start with!
Let me begin with the customized poly-bag mailer that Motivate’s clothing arrived in, was not only sophisticated but simple and classy. A slick black bag with a gold circle logo yet with a handwritten return address label. Though you’d assume that if a company is spending the money for custom mailers they’d splurge for a custom return label – yet I have to say it was a nice personal touch. Owning my own clothing company I actually do the opposite – no custom mailer but a custom return label. Hey, personally I think either way balances the scale nicely!
I had no idea what shirt I was getting but I had secretly mentioned to Andy that I was kind of obsessed with the Fingerstache T-shirt off their website. Well what do you know, I ripped open the package and I guess a little birdie squealed on me or it was fate, because exactly what I wanted was inside!!
I reached in and grabbed what items were floating around and what I ended up pulling out totally made me laugh. Alongside a small zip baggie of custom buttons was a small baggie of Warheads!! Yes, the candy! I burst into laughter because well as a second job aside from running my own business I am a Nanny. A few days ago I confiscated a HUGE bag of Warheads from the kids to which I had absolutely no idea where they got them from and they had no idea I took them away and hid them with my own stash of food. So when I pulled out a small baggie of Warheads, it was just too ironic and I couldn’t help but chuckle. Needless to say aside from the buttons and candy there was also a lot of stickers and business cards. I’m not sure how I feel about a bag of candy placed in with my clothing item. I mean if they send that out with all the orders, I’d just worry that if the package sits too long in a hot area, those things melt. Even though they have them in a small ziplock bag, I’d still be concerned that it’d melt, leak and/or ruin the stickers or even worse, the clothing.
I really do enjoy when a company takes the time to include a little hand-written note in the package. It really adds to the charm and appeal of an indie brand. Of course Motivate Clothing didn’t disappoint and sent me a small hand-written note with an awesome discount code that I predict I’ll be using in the near future! It was a nice touch as well as throwing in the clothing companies business card and the owner’s personal business card. I’m not sure if this is done in every package or was just for me but Cory (the owner/designer/creative director at Motivate) has some pretty rad business cards!! (Check them out in the above photo ie: Witty Walrus haha)
My only reservation about the little extras companies include in a package is ‘less is more’. Again, I’m not sure if some of these items were thrown in just for me being that I blog and am a fellow business owner and were for my personal keeping or they’re included in every package but I mean I would have been satisfied with 1 or 2 stickers; 5 might have been over-doing it. Then again, who can ever have enough stickers, right?
Now onto the design, Fingerstache! Motivate Clothing Company donates 10% of proceeds from each different shirt to a particular cause. I really love this about them and think it makes shopping a bit more fun knowing that you’ll be somehow contributing to a meaningful cause meanwhile having a keepsake that you can wear.
Fingerstache’s proceeds (10%) are donated to Movember. Movember is where men usually don’t shave for the whole month of November to raise funds and awareness for men’s health; specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Having been unaware (because I didn’t read their website description when I first noticed the shirt saying how much I liked it) what this particular design stands for, after reading the hang-tag on my shirt that Motivate so cleverly includes, I was very very pleased. Some of these particular heath issues and cancers hit close to home for me which made this shirt that much more meaningful to me!
I like buying t-shirts that have an incredible product description or that have a really great/deep meaning so this is a definite 2 thumbs-up for me for Motivate donating to such great causes. Check out their website to see what other causes they donate to and which shirt belongs to which!! Very inspiring and motivational (pun intended).
Overall the t-shirt was super-soft and the design simple yet creative. I’m not sure if it bothers me or I like the fact that the hand on the shirt reminds me of those clip-art directional hands. You know what I’m talking about. Either way this design is meant to be simple with the emphasis on the stache on the finger and I thoroughly enjoy it. The shirt is a dark grey and the print is a lighter grey. Looking on their website the shirt looks black which may be slightly confusing for some because they don’t have an actual product photograph up. I have to say though the one thing that I was a bit sad about was that this is a unisex fit t-shirt and I love the design so much that I wish it were on a women’s fit for myself so I would be more willing to wear it on a daily basis. I wear a lot of t-shirts to work and out and about but only if they fit me nicely and usually unisex ones I save for when I’m at home lounging or sleeping. Even though it’s a small it fits me pretty large and I’m sort of hoping if I wash it once or twice I’ll shrink it enough to want to wear out – though it’ll never fit like an actual women’s t-shirt fits, so that’s a bummer and really the only downfall.
I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on Motivate Clothing Co. and what they come out with next and more importantly what cause it’ll be for. Their shirts are only $20.00 and are top quality! I love what they’re doing and will be ordering from them in the future hopefully for myself if they produce some women’s cuts !! Be sure to check out their website for a shirt that may inspire or hit close to home for you.
Thanks for the awesome tee & goodies Motivate!!
Keep up with them on Facebook and Twitter as well – I know I will be!

Everyone have a good weekend? I did until last night when I had a nasty fall during my snowboarding lesson at the dry slope. Fell on my front, my jakcet rode up and my stomach turned into ‘brakes’, my tummy new resembles those crisps that are meant to look like streaky bacon, oh, the pain!
I really want to get into Breaking Bad, but after a couple of episodes of the first season it was just too depressing so I stopped, I will probably try again though. Shirt is $10 today at TeeFury.
I haven’t read Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, but apparently this Qwertee shirt has something to do with it.
Apparently this RIPT tee is something to do with a cartoon show that may or may not be on TV anymore but to be completely honest I don’t recognise it and no one mentions it in the RIPT comments, your suggestions please!
And what band is this Owl at Shirt.Woot listening to? The Who, of course!
Pretty rare that you see a Gremlins tee, but this is a lovely example of the breed at The Yetee.
Seinfeld Festivus shirt over at TeeMinus24. Funny how you don’t hear much about Christmukkah nowadays.
I haven’t seen Donnie Darko so this shirt at OtherTees may or may not be genius.
You want an Angry Birds t-shirt? 24tee have got it!
A melting Portal companion cube greets us today at TeeRaiders.
I really like this Star Wars design at Graphic Lab, but I do question the black on dark grey colour choice. Then again, it would probably look a bit naff if it was on a white t-shirt.
Ahhh, one of my favourite Loviu designs.
Pikachu gets an outing on this Shirt Punch design.
Tshirt Contest ensure that we have at least one Doctor Who t-shirt today, thank goodness.
Very nice shirt of the day at DBH.
BustedTees deal of the next couple of days is their attachment that you put on a beer to make it look like you have a mustache. Presumably it’s like those little win trinkets people buy so that you know who’s wine glass belongs to who, except for beer. $8.99 for 6 instead of $11.99
Expansion II comes out to play once again at Tilteed.
Tee Mashups is a site I found out about at the weekend that offers designs on sale for 48 hours. Today and tomorrow they have a Dick Tracey vs Carmen Sandiego shirt available.
Megan Fox may be a very attractive lady, and that’s a pretty cool sweatshirt, but I will never understand why people wear stuff that looks like it has spent a few months with a bunch of moths.
Wrongwroks have added hiking boots to their product range, of course.
There’s 25% off everything today only at Loserkids.
Mashable have a good resource for increasing Facebook engagement through custom tabs that should be useful for store owners.
Yes No Maybe have a few coupon codes available. The more you spend the more you save, all the way up to 20% off.
Original Music Shirt, who I still think took a lot of inspiration from Threadless with their redesign, are offering free global shipping with the coupon code ILIKETOMOVEIT if you spend 25€+ before December 14th.
Springleap are holding a contest that is only open to previous design winners, which should make for some pretty tasty entries.
OMUNKY are offering 18% off from now until December 19th with the coupon code 18off2011.
PalmerCash are now selling shirts, the kind with buttons!
The Quiet Life are running a holiday promo, if you spend $100 or more they’ll give you a free duffel bag that they usuall charge $40 for. It would be perfect for carrying around your gym gear since that will inevitably be your new years resolution. Go to the gym more dammit Andy! They’ve also restocked their hat selection.
Terratag are knocking 10% off all orders. No coupon necessary, the discount will automatically be applied at the checkout.
Whilst I do like the idea of ‘ugly’ Christmas tees I think that this Kickstarter project might be a bit too late, it won’t be funded (if it reaches 100%) until January 9th, and then when will you receive the shirt? I’m pretty sure everyone’s Christmas cheer will be long gone by that time.

When I saw this tee, I really liked it, then I looked at the flat mockup they’ve put on their site I thought it looked quite boring. This is a perfect example of why if you own a t-shirt brand you absolutely MUST put real photos of your shirts on your website, or at least a decent mockup of a person wearing it (which I suspect this might be).

Thinking about it, if you had made this a couple of hundred years ago your head would have been on a pike atop the Tower of London and your eyes would have been pecked out by crows, but as it is this seems like quite a fun tee for people that have caught Royal Wedding fever.
Costiness=£35 Buy it at SuperSuperficial (sizes S & M only)

This tee is on sale during Movember, but I don’t think that means BustedTees are giving any of the sales are to charity.

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).

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.
