pipiripau

The good amigos at Pipiripau were nice enough to send me a shirt to review. I present to you “Los Sospechos” or “The Suspects”. I love the design, of course I’m a sucker for devilish cartoons. The print is super soft and it’s printed on American Apparel for that modern fashion fit. All in all I really dig this shirt.

3 480x408 Hands on Review: Los Sospechos t shirt by Pipiripau
It was packaged with stickers and is presented really well. I was unfamiliar with Pipiripau before this but will definitely be keeping an eye on them in the future. Good art, good presentation and a good theme go a long way. Now if I could just decide which other shirts I want to buy. Check them out here and show them some love. P.S.

awesome merchandise sample pack

I’ve previously worked with Awesome Merchandise to get some T-Shirts printed. I jumped straight in feet first into the deep end and tried to pursue my dream of selling T-Shirts. I’ve approached this the wrong way and only now just checked out a sample pack from them. For £7 I received a whole slew of sample goodies.

1 x T-Shirt
25mm Badges (regular, neon and metallic)
38mm Badge
58mm Badge
25mm Magnet
58mm Magnet
Bottle-Opener Keyring
Pocket Mirror
Stickers (regular and vinyl samples)
Plectrum
Flyer
Postcard
Business Card
Poster

photo 7 480x642 Awesome Merchandise Sample Pack Review

On to the review. I’m currently wearing the T-Shirt and the material certainly feels good against my skin. It’s a Gildan’s heavy weight shirt, I’ve previously purchased soft shirts from Awesome Merchandise and while it certainly is heavier it’s not a dramatic difference but perhaps in the forthcoming summer a lighter weight shirt may be more applicable. The design of the shirt is interesting featuring 3 cats having a party. As we all know cats + internet = winning formula. The shirt certainly isn’t going to win any awards and turn heads but it might be a bit too much to expect a stellar design for a sample shirt. This isn’t a shirt style I’d usually wear but it’s certainly a design that would cheer up any gloomy day.

As for the printing quality of the shirt I can’t fault it. It’s excellent value for money and from previous experience with the company their t-shirts wash and iron well and don’t warp at all in the wash.

My one niggle with the shirt is that they don’t appear to offer sample shirts of different colours. I’m not a fan of white shirts and it’d be a nice option to be able to ask for a different coloured sample.

If you’re a budding t-shirt designer and want to see what your designs would look like when printed I’d recommend Awesome Merchandise for their quality and value, they frequently offer deals for shirts and not only bulk print but do one-off runs. Even if you don’t want to print T-Shirts and just fancy a random design from them, you can’t go wrong with £7 for a shirt and a whole bunch of goodies.

83 Mark Collective

by Matt on December 14, 2011

dinosaurshirt 41 83 Mark Collective

This review was suppose to go up a while ago and I want to apologize to Andrew at 83 Mark Collective for taking so long to get it up. He was nice enough to send me a free shirt (and painting!), so I should have been more diligent about getting this post up. Without further ado, here it is!

83 Mark Collective is an independent t-shirt line hailing from New York City. Not only are the shirts limited edition and hand printed, but so is all the packaging and hang tags. And the first 30 orders each year include a hand numbered and signed 4×6 water color painting. You can see all the dinosaurs that now have new homes in the boneyard. Mine is pictured below.

83 mark collective bag tag 480x320 83 Mark Collective

83 mark collective painting 83 Mark Collective

The reasonable price of $21.95 always includes free shipping! (in the United States)

These custom prints are done on heathered 6.1 0z 100% cotton pre-shrunk Gildan tees. Gildan is not usually my favorite blank, but this style is new to me and I definitely like it. Fits comfortably and true to size.

So if you like dinosaurs, hand printed limited edition t-shirts and being a part of someone’s dream, I recommend checking out 83 Mark Collective. I know Andrew will appreciate it.

“I want a unique experience when someone purchases my tees. I want them to know I put a lot of hard work and sweat into the company. Everything from the unique hangtags to garment colors and inks chosen. This has been a dream of mine and thank you for taking the time
to be a part of it.

Type – Eat Fast Die Young [Review]

by Abigail on November 30, 2011

eatfast Type     Eat Fast Die Young [Review]
I received a tshirt last week from Euan Gallacher of Type, a Scottish brand run by a talented graphic designer. It came with stickers and flyers (all beautifully designed) and in its own vacuum pack bag (like meat) which I was very impressed with, I have seen all manner of packaging but this was simple yet effective and assured me that the tshirt got to me in good condition.

eatfast packet Type     Eat Fast Die Young [Review]
The tshirt is Gildan Heavy Cotton, I wear a small and much prefer the fit of a small men’s shirt to a girl’s fitted tshirt, the design is striking, along with the rest of the designs on the Type shop (which can be seen here)

chillprint Type     Eat Fast Die Young [Review]
I am a sucker for brands that offer something a bit different like art, club nights or vinyl toys thrown into the mix and Type do stock a print but I think the brand could lean a lot more on the art aspect, as the designs are striking and would all make great prints!

Adam over at I Am The Trend is really churning out the videos at the moment, meaning that this post is a double including two episodes of IAMTHETRENDTV.


First up is a short vid taking a look at a new print from Dance Party Massacre. I guess then when you’re looking at a piece of paper there’s not as much to discuss as a shirt. They’re well priced at $14.95 for a 3-colour screenprint, check out what Adam has to say.


Up next is a review of a clothing line I haven’t heard of before, Maintenance Clothing. In this video we find out if they have hit the ground running with their first shirt design.

Review: Gryphony T-shirts

Thumbnail image for Review: Gryphony T-shirts

Gryphony are the latest in an increasingly long line of companies entering into the limited-release tee market. I would call it the ‘tee a day’ market, but it would appear that people are realising just how demanding that model is and giving themselves the slightly less daunting task of releasing a new tee every few [...]

The guys over at Seventh.Ink were kind enough to send over a tee for review, and it’s one of the most time appropriate tees I’ve ever got, since it’s all about Santa and some marauding snowmen. Most people have a Christmas sweater, but as you might imagine, that’s not really my style, so I am [...]

Feel by Blend Apparel [hands-on review]

December 12, 2009

As ever, I’m behind on the reviews, but this is a great tee to review, because despite it’s fairly simple appearance, it’s actually really interesting. You probably recognise the print as being braille, we all recognise those dots, but if you’re anything like me you probably don’t read braille, so you’re just going to have [...]

Hands-on review of ‘Tattoo’ by Rakes & Strays

September 25, 2009

It has been a little while since the last review on HYA, and this tee from Rakes & Strays is certainly worthy of bringing back this once-regular feature, especially as I think this might be the first ever tee I’ve received that has been panel printed. If you’re unfamiliar with Rakes & Strays, they’re a [...]

Chain Smoker by Graniph [Review]

June 16, 2009

If you can say one thing about Graniph (and I say a lot), it’s that they run through designs pretty darn quickly, so for those of you that flip healthy society the bird by inhaling smoke (think about it, you’re inhaling smoke, isn’t that an odd concept?), I’m afraid you can’t complement your habit with [...]
