When I first looked at this range of shirts from
Ardentees I was impressed. I then checked out their store and was shocked to find that they were charging $50 per shirt, the same went for the tank tops, and they don’t even have sleeves!
I calmed slightly when I found that their prices are listed in Singaporean dollars, which makes their shirts a lot more like $35ish or £20ish, still not particularly cheap for Americans, but fairly normal for us Brits. The series of tees is largely based upon a poem by Tamkya Bell, who, naturally, I have never heard of.
I told you I’d mention these shirts and I actually remembered too! Sure, I’m a few days late, but better late than never, right?

I don’t think I’ve ever done two Singapore-related posts back to back before, but there has to be a first time for everything. 9 Fountains have impressed me since their launch with maintaining a regular release schedule of impressive shirts. At a time when it seems like every new t-shirt design competition appears to be doomed to failure these guys look to be getting it right and running a sustainable business. The three shirts above are available now, they’re the grand prize/1st runner up/2nd runner up winners, and there will be four more designs going live on Monday that are the editors choices from the June competition that I will try to remember to mention, but I make no guarantees since I will probably be pretty busy after my weekend in Belfast (which is currently happening, this is an auto-post I wrote on Wednesday, weird huh?).
Last time I wrote about Concrete Rocket I asked you guys to pick which one you thought was the best, and I’m going to do the same again, but let’s be honest, one of these shirts is far more interesting than the other, so it’s pretty obvious which I’m going to pick. Both shirts are $22.90 (I’m presuming that to be American rather than Singaporean dollars) and are available in guy and girly fit sizes.
Really nice from the Concrete Rocket team as usual, that shirt on the left in particular is piquing my interest.
