[Picture unrelated to anything, I just think that Ames Rooms are cool]

T-shirt Island has changed its name to Cottonable, which doesn’t really change anything in terms of the blog, but it is a pretty cool name.

Shirtlog, who had their first birthday recently (huzzah!), held an interview with Filip from Allmightys recently, check it out here.

Subtraction, which is a very nicely designed blog, has posted a great description of Rumplo, in case you don’t know what it is yet.

Atticus (the brand founded by Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge of Blink 182, though Hoppus doesn’t have anything to do with it now) and Ebtm (a British clothing site) have launched a fashion blog that I imagine British emo and scene kids might like.

Continuing the music theme, Ian Watkins, who is the singer/frontman of the Lostprophets, a band who are big in the UK (I’ve seen ‘em twice), has moved on from designing the bands album covers and merch, and released his own line of t-shirts with the brand name of Made In Hell, which are actually pretty good, and to prove that he’s keeping it indie and not selling out to ‘the man’ the store is powered by Big Cartel. If you’re wondering how I’m shoehorning this piece of news into a post about blogs… ummm… here’s an interview he did with Punktastic.

You The Designer wrote up a great tutorial last year (and I just re-found it in my bookmarks) that they’ve called “The Ultimate Guide to Designing Your Own Custom T-Shirts“, that’s a pretty lofty claim, but it is a pretty good guide to be fair to them.

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.

Great use of negative printing and a minimal colour template. A really cool print running along the back lower edge too. And look, a giraffe!

I’m thinking of starting a regular feature in which I post a tee that I found on Rumplo. They won’t have much text, because that’s what I like about rumplo, all tees, barely any chatter. Of course, the first tee I picked for the ‘Rumplo Rocks’ segment did have to be sold out didn’t it, so I’ve hunted around and found it available in most sizes at a few stores.Size Small (and 1 XXL) at Digital Gravel for $25Size Medium at Sneakers n Stuff for €37.53

Sizes Small & Medium at Become Fitted for $26

I’ve been getting more and more into type/text tees at the moment, so the Rumplo team must have been reading my mind when they put together a blog post (that also went out in their newsletter) of 30 incredible type tees.

See the rest of them… here.

The Rumplo crew have put together a blog post that has twenty high quality costume tees. I’m usually not a fan of costume tees since they’re a bit too novelty for my tastes, but some of these are actually pretty cool, especially since most aren’t really for costumes, more like visual tricks (like the one in the pic).

I’m scared, and its all because of Rumplo!

Well, not too scared, you guys come here for the commentary as well as the clothing finds, right?

Rumplo is a website that I think can be best described as what would happen if Notcot got married to Emptees, had a kid, and gave it a web startup friendly name. Basically, people submit tees, people fave tees, people comment on tees, and it all looks very pretty. There’s only two pages of shirts so far but I think that the quality level has been set already, and hopefully it won’t be overrun by t-entrepreneur’s spamming submitting with their own designs.
