“T-shirt 1.5″ by YCollective

by Andy on September 1, 2011

in Uncategorized

not sure how to describe this shirt, SEO be damned

I spotted this shirt in one of Rumplo’s newsletters a while back (did anyone else spot the HYA logo shirt in the last newsletter?), it’s funny how cutting up a photo and just showing part of it can result in a shirt that looks so good. Definitely check out the rest of the YCollective site too, lots of good stuff going on there.

“Here’s Johnny!” t-shirt by Zest Clothing

the shining movie t-shirt

I have no idea why they’ve added the glasses to this picture (they are added, right?), but I think it gives the shirt a twist that makes you give it a second look, and it’s a pretty good image for a tee to start with. That mockup is a little bit shady though, show us the real thing!

Limerence – really, really cool tees

limerence photo t-shirt

Limerence CollageTee Medium 480x367 Limerence   really, really cool tees
Limerence FlyingHeartsTee 480x367 Limerence   really, really cool tees
It’s pretty rare that a t-shirt company stops me in my tracks (whatever that means, I sit at a desk about 10 hours a day), but Limerence did just that when I saw their designs. When I said a few posts back that I thought 2011 would be the year of the photo tee I was kind of joking, but just a few hours later my prophecy is coming true!*

Sure, they’ve got four shirts in the store, one is a logo shirt (a nice logo shirt, but still), and one is the name set onto photos which is cool though still a bit logo-y for my liking, but the other two are utterly stunning, I’m almost considering bookmarking the Addictive Love for a ‘best of 2011′ post that I will inevitably ‘forget’ to write next December when the lure of mince pies and mulled wine becomes too great. The shirts themselves are produced in the US, but I’m not sure what brand of blank is being used, I do know that the inks are eco-friendly though, so this shirt doesn’t melt the ice caps quite as much as many others do.

For a bit of background, Limerence is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which is also known as where all those Amish folks come from. Doug, the guy behind Limerence sources all the material for his designs from vintage managzines like a 1950s copy of LIFE or his parents yearbooks, or newspaper clipping, basically anything from before 1974. I’m not really sure where that puts him in terms of copyright law and I’m not going to pretend to have any idea about that kind of thing, but hopefully the images have been manipulated enough for them to be okay in the eyes of the law. It’s funny how willing people are to accept possible copyright infringement when cool tees are involved!

Their website could do with a bit more to it though, it’s just a Big Cartel storefront at the moment. There’s not really anything wrong with that, but they’ve clearly done a photoshoot, and Doug can clearly write judging by the e-mail he sent me, so why not pad out the site a bit more?

*2011 will also be the year of me getting a Ferrari and penthouse apartment in New York, in that case.

Containers by Ryan De La Hoz

ryan de la hoz t-shirt

So, I was ragging on sites yesterday for not being as well designed as Threadless or someone that has full time web developers on the payroll, yet I’m going to point you in the direction of site where you have to specify what size of tee you’d like as a note when you buy the shirt through PayPal. Clearly, it’s not an integrated shopping experience, but that’s because this isn’t really a t-shirt store, it’s just a designer that made some cool tees and wants to sell them on his portfolio site, so I’m cutting him a bit of slack, especially as his tees are very cool. I’m gonna call it now, I hope/think that 2011 will be the year of the photo t-shirt, and if it isn’t, I’ll write about them more so that it looks like it.

Rocky, Running by Local Celebrity

20.11.2009

I will grant you that this is a fairly standard design, there’s not really much to a still from a film and a logo, but there’s something about Rocky that makes me feel like it should just be given a pass, and even though it isn’t the kind of shirt that the ‘t-shirt guy’ should [...]

“Never, never, never give up” Churchill by Slut

10.11.2009

As you may expect, I don’t care for the name of this brand, it’s a bit too in-your-face for me, they describe themselves as a “clothing and partying brand” (they run club nights that attract big-name DJs) so subtlety isn’t really to be expected. Calling your brand ‘Slut’ pigeonholes them somewhat, it takes focus away [...]

UFO T-Shirt by Sixpack France

09.09.2009

I must be on a bit of a photo tees kick at the moment because they’ve certainly been getting posted more often than usual, but when they look this damn good who am I to resist? (do I smell a photo tee list coming on?) Costiness=€33.50 Available from Sixpack [via Rumplo]

Dandelions by Rakes & Strays

08.09.2009

I think I might have fallen a little bit in love with Rakes & Strays, the new sister brand to EIO Clothing. They’ve got some of the most beautiful photo tees I’ve ever seen ever, ever, and because I know the EIO crew are behind it, I know the quality is going to be up [...]

The Sighting by IronSpider Clothing

28.07.2009

I was so, so ready to fall in love with this tee to the point of actually paying for it (which is a severe rarity at this point considering how many people are willing to clothe me with samples, thanks all!)… and then I saw the text at the top left. The text, for me, [...]

KIKSTYO still putting hot asian women on tees, I still don’t get it

29.01.2009

I know I mention KIKSTYOs collaborations with hot women too much, but the strange thing is, these posts are actually pretty popular according to my stats, and people aren’t searching for the women featured on the tees (most of which are gravure models, a term I’m still trying to understand, I think it means “not [...]

A Raccoon with an Umbrella (and a fish!) [Flickr Finds]

16.10.2008

I think that this might be my favourite Flickr Find ever, what kind of a minds dreams up a Raccoon with an umbrella carrying a fish as if it were the morning newspaper? As it happens, the mind of Jose Polido dreams up that kind of thing, and sells t-shirts and other things through an [...]

Dadawan & Mad Turnip become NUKOD, release cool tees

13.10.2008

I forgot to mention this when it happened, but a little while back Dadawan (who I’ve mentioned quite a lot), and Mad Turnip (who I haven’t, but they share a retail shop in Paris) have joined forces and rebranded themselves as Nukod, and are now operating out of a Big Cartel-powered webstore, which is a [...]

Kiks Tyo put a hot women on their shirts… genius!

01.10.2008

I can’t really imagine people actually wearing this stuff, although Asian streetwear culture is vastly different to ours, so they’re probably all over it, but for some reason I kind of admire the audacity of a brand for putting bikini-clad models on to t-shirts. Here’s the blurb for the top tee: On October 3rd, Limited [...]

handmade t-shirt by … s u s …

15.08.2008

The chances of you getting this cool looking t-shirt delivered to your doorstep are pretty slim, and by pretty slim I mean impossible, because it’s a one off that the designer did as a gift for a friend, but I thought it would be nice to point out what someone can do with some fabric [...]

Das Monk are AOK

08.07.2008

Das Monk are a graphic t-shirt label based in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia. It’s pretty hard to nail down exactly what their style is, because they’ve got a couple of designs like the one above, but they also have photo style design, comic book art, pattern, hand-drawn (I realise all designs are hand-drawn, [...]

Pipe Dreams by Ambiguous [Rumplo Rocks]

Photo prints can often come out distinctly ‘meh’, but I guess that its a lot easier to get them right when you do them in black and white, and this one has definitely been done right. Costiness=$28 Tee Link (possibly sold out there, but it is available for the rather higher price of £23.50 at [...]
