I’d hoped to do a really big post or posts relating to T-shirt day, but with me working full-time at the moment doing manly things (digging, mixing concrete, laying pipes, cutting slate & breaking stuff with a sledgehammer) I haven’t been able to find any time for it. I felt it would be remiss of me not to give it at least a mention though.I thought it would be fitting to post a picture of that yellow tee from Bean Dip clothing, since they were the first people to ever send me a t-shirt sample for review, and it was when people started sending me tees and companies started e-mailing me that I realised I might not be all that bad at this clothes blogging malarkey. I could get all emotional on you about how t-shirts have changed my life, because they have, but let’s remember that t-shirt day isn’t actually a international day (June 20th is also International Refugee Day, which puts things into perspective a bit), and that its meant to be lots of fun celebrating t-shirts, I’m not entirely sure how someone is meant to celebrate t-shirts, but I’m sure that you guys will find a way somehow.

Things are starting to become a bit clearer thanks to a major overhaul on the T-shirt day website, it’s gone from a plain outline of a tee last week to the fully blown site that you can see in the screenshot. From the looks of things, Spreadshirt will be holding events in Berlin and Boston, giving away about 500 t-shirts both online and off, and they’re also holding a special competition in conjunction with laFraise. It’s shaping up to be more of an event than I rather cynically first expected, so I’ll keep you updated on developments.International T-Shirt Day

When I heard that there was such a thing as ‘International T-shirt Day’, I thought two things “what the hell is this?” and “it must be a publicity stunt.” Spreadshirt own the domain (hurrah for whois!), so it could be some kind of publicity stunt, and probably not a ‘real’ international day, like Christmas or Talk Like a Pirate Day (just 126 days to go!), but I know Spreadshirt love their tees, so I’m interested to see how this will go, and what will happen in June 21st, which also just happens to be the first official day of summer.
Part of it, presumably, is linked to this blog post, in which they ask you to send a picture of you wearing your favourite tee and a short story explaining why it’s your favourite tee. And the prizes that are on offer? Well, 5 people are going to win one of those massive tees in the picture above, which have lots of little printed tees on them in all the colours that Spreadshirt offer. Not exactly that wearable for most people, but still pretty cool and very limited (just 5).T-Shirtday.com
