Trust ThinkGeek to release this, very cool. I get the feeling that the effect has been tampered with in photoshop for the product image which is a little disappointing, but I still have high hopes for this shirt.

Now here’s something you don’t see every day, t-shirts that have been cut up with lasers. I’m sure it’s not an original concept, but off the top of my head I can’t name anyone doing a similar thing, it will be similar to see what other style PERF Apparel (short for perforated?) come up with in the future because I think this could be pretty fun. Tees are $35 and up from their Etsy store, you’d think they’d be cheap since you aren’t buying a whole tee! [via Buy Tees]

One of my issues with wearable technology is the problem that they can be a bit of a faff to wash. A hoodie with built in earphones sounds pretty cool, but it loses some cool points if you have to spend ages removing the earphones when laundry day rolls around, so I was quite excited when I saw that it was machine washable. You’d expect something like this to be mighty expensive (especially since I found out about it via a PR company), but they’re actually very much afforable at $44 for a guys hoodie. I guess the proof would be in the pudding as they say because I have no idea what quality you get through the earphones, if they were a weak link then I can’t see many people having an interest in this hoodie.

In collaboration with Boosted, Vans Outerwear is proud to introduce the Vans x Boosted Program. Designed for fast and easy communication on the mountain, the program is available in the Grunt Insulated LTD Jacket and the Down Supreme LTD Jacket. The jackets are embedded with Boosted branded Bluetooth technology that seamlessly links your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone and favorite MP3 device. The stereo headset allows for convenient use on your mobile phone while listening to your favorite tracks, without interrupting your ride.
How cool is that? I know that there are other brands out there that have put bluetooth technology into their jackets before, but I still think its really cool, and a nice looking jacket too. I’ve haven;t snowboarded much before, so I’m probably not the best to judge, but how often do people make calls when they’re on the slopes? I guess that using it to play mp3s would be pretty awesome when you’re snowboarding though.

I know what you’re thinking, these tees are pretty normal looking, nothing special, not really worthy of blogging, right?
Well, Mister (or Missus) Know-it-all, prepare to eat humble pie, because these tees are heat sensitive. As the temperature rises the cloud begins to fade away and the sun appears, which is not only a really cool use of heat sensitive ink, but also a great way to illustrate the point behind this design.
You know when its winter and the days are really short and it starts to get you down? A more extreme version of that is Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.), which is what this tee is very cleverly highlighting. As the weather gets sunnier and hotter, your tee is hotter, and therefore gets sunnier, and you’re happier, sooo cool!
There’s another design that has a cloud on it which brings up the message “the sun is nature’s prozac” which is technically just as impressive, but I don’t think it has quite the same impact.
Neither are for sale, unfortunately, I think they’re just part of a designer’s portfolio. [via Kottke]
*The designers website seemed to disappear as I was writing about the tees, so those links probably won’t work, unless there’s just a temporary issue.
