Don’t hear so much from the Owl Movement crew nowadays, do we?
I was just thinking the other day that I hadn’t heard much from Owl Movement recently, and then a newsletter turns up announcing that they’ve done a massive restock of their most popular designs, and are having a sale in which everything (I think) has got 15% knocked off. No coupon code needed, the discounts have already been applied.

Owl Movement released their seventh range about a week ago and I somehow managed to miss it despite receiving a couple of e-mails about the collection, so my apologies about that. Its a solid range of four new pieces, with some recognisable names doing the design work, none of which have produced designs for OM in the past, hurrah for keeping it fresh!Owl Movement

Second Life isn’t that hot anymore, I never really understood the attractive of it myself. I downloaded the client, set up an account and played it for about 15 minutes before becoming bored, and I think about 5 minutes of that was spent giving myself various haircuts (ginormous afro FTW!).I first read about people ripping off t-shirt designs in Second Life a few years ago (in pre-HYA-istory) regarding Threadless designs, but had never heard of it happening to anyone else. I call it ripping because if these designs are being sold in Second Life then the Linden Dollars can be exchanged for real money, if it was just fan creations I’d view it in a slightly different way. Owl Movement don’t seem to be all that peeved about ‘Gee, Thanks‘ turning up in the game, so I guess this is just a case of someone really, really liking that shirt.

I don’t really get it when websites have hidden items and secret sales, it just feels like they’re trying not to sell what they’ve spent time and money making. Although in the case of Owl Movement, I’m willing to make an exception, because I know they’re only keeping it on the down low since their new hoodie is seriously limited edition (ie, there isn’t that many of them available) and presumably they want to give loyal fans first dibs on getting one.
And even when they wanted me to know about it, it still took me rather a long time to find out where it was hidden. Whilst I am a nice guy, I’m not going to spoon-feed it all to you, so you’re going to have to find it yourself (coughlookatthetitlecough).
As hoodies go, it’s got a lot to get you hot under the collar, skulls, diamonds, and yes, even an all over print on the back (which I guess isn’t technically all-over, but that seems to be the term that ‘we’ use). The detail on the front with the skull design is contrasted nicely with the simple diamond background, which has a subtle look with the light blue print laid over the heather grey fabric.
In keeping with OM’s idea of keeping things hidden and secret, you’re going to have to click ‘read more’ to see some pics.

No recommendation tonight because I have my last ever university exam tomorrow afternoon and I need to study more, but I’d already written this weeks cotton filter, so I thought that’d do instead:
Steve Rosswick Clothing: The failed math geek in me really loves this tee, even though I don’t have a particular fondness for white tees, but those graph paper details are freakin’ sweet! (via A Piece of Shirt, good to see APS back in the tee game)
Tshirtlog.com: There’s a lot of tee blogs out there, but this one seems to post more than anyone else…. probably because it’s all copy/pasted (or cleverly RSS posted) from other tee blogs, with a little “all credit for this post goes to ‘x’” at the end of the post. It would seem that Preshrunk doesn’t like this practise (and nor do I, which was why I notified Jason about it) and changed one of the images in a post of his to reflect his feelings, which was of course duly posted on Tshirtlog. I know web 2.0 is about sharing, but bloggers spend a lot of time writing their content.
Split the Atom: They may well be very similar to Threadless in terms of business model, but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (the above paragraph excluded) and STA have got some great shirt designs as well as a well designed site, and their prices are very reasonable for a British site (£15 each and it was £1.40 postage when I tested the checkout). (via T-shirt-alert and TeeJ ages ago)
Monsieur T: Free shipping on all orders in the US and Canada throughout June (including this lovely piece of self-promotion)
Owl Movement: New series of tee’s now available from OM, with a wide variety of styles, the tees run along three themes, ‘future perfect’, ‘your brand new love’ and ‘nostalgic notions’.
