Velo Nuit by Dargelos

bike shirt

Here’s something cool, a t-shirt that also doubles up as safety clothing!

At first I just thought that they were just brightly printed, but it turns out that some of the wheels on the bikes in the design are printed with a reflective ink so that it makes you easier to see when you’re out cycling on the road. Neato!

    Into the Void by Benjamin Hennessy for Threadless (Glow in the Dark tee)

    glow in the dark t-shirt

    It’s about time I found another glow in the dark tee to post, and this one from Threadless looks nice… but I’m not entirely sure why they feel the need to add the glow in the dark effect, considering how in the past when Threadless have used glow in the dark ink it has been to add another dimension to the design, and sometimes it has been an integral part of the design, whereas in this case it feels like it has been done just because they can.

        Tees that change colour from Ink Fruit, yes please!

        My apologies for the page of pics before getting down to the text (because I know you hang off my every word… right? Guys? Hello? Is anyone reading?), but I wanted to show you a few designs so that the effect was clear. Basically, as the tee gets hotter, presumably from body heat, parts of the design change colour, changing the tone of the entire design. As you can probably guess from the title, this is an idea that I really like, I’d like to see it in reality rather than in mock-ups, but Ink Fruit are clearly trying something really interesting. I’d probably be just as excited about the designs as the special ink if they hadn’t put the text on the tree & suitcase designs, but I guess I can’t have everything. I should probably point out that I can’t find the above tees in their catalogue, which is disappointing (I’d written the rest of the post before noticing), so I would expect that these tees are currently being produced, sorry to get you all excited.

        Also make sure you check out Ink Fruit‘s other tees, they’re a(nother) design contest that have some great tees in their catalogue. [via Shirtlog]

          Ghost in the Dark by Chow Hon Lam for Threadless

          1935 store2 480x480 Ghost in the Dark by Chow Hon Lam for Threadless 1935 store3 480x480 Ghost in the Dark by Chow Hon Lam for Threadless

          I always have such high hopes for glow-in-the-dark prints, I want to like them a lot, but in reality they never quite match up to my expectations. The glow is never bright enough for me to be happy, and if it doesn’t glow enough, then what’s the point?

          I could be wrong about Threadless‘ glow-in-the-dark prints, they could be bright, I’ve never actually seen one myself to judge it, so I might pick this one up for testing because the concept is just wonderful and one of the reasons why I like glow in the dark for adding an extra dimension to designs.

            2 Shirts & 2 Hoodies from Enclothe

            06.01.2009

            You know what I first thought when I saw these new (and new options for old designs) from Enclothe? That guy is consistent. I’m sure that isn’t the most exciting way that you can describe someone’s work, but Enclothe never seem to put out a dud when it comes to their designs, I like everything [...]

            Say Hello To Skilla Fashion

            17.11.2008

            There seems to be a split between me liking and not liking the designs of Skilla Fashion. I like the use of foil, and the tee with ‘Birth of a Hero’ text written in Birth Of A Hero type is pretty clever (has anyone done a line with the names of fonts written in the [...]

            Glow in the Dark by Vintage Vantage [Review]

            02.10.2008

            I can tick off another aspect of my t-shirt collection, no one had ever sent me a t-shirt with glow in the dark ink on it, so when I was offered another review sample from the gang over at Vintage Vantage I thought I’d indulge my love of clothing that glows and lights up by [...]

            The Wonderful Future Life by Terratag

            07.08.2008

            In the UK it feels like every day we get another story about economic doom and gloom, so Terratag are attempting to buck that trend with this bold and bright (as in, fluorescent) tee that tells us that everything is going to be alright at some point in the future. Phew, I was getting worried [...]

            Stupid Devil have pretty smart designs

            07.08.2008

            I don’t think I’ve featured a Norwegian brand before, so this is a first for me, but its certainly not a first for Norwegians to be associated with the devil, although its fair to say that Stupid Devil‘s designs don’t have that classic “hey, we’re Satanists” kind of look about them. All the tees are [...]
