Beyu Apparel got in touch to let me know about a stop motion video that they made recently. It’s a nice video and I like the music (though I’m not sure how long a video with that music will last on YouTube), but the thing that I really like about it is the location. When I was in Philly (which is almost 3 years ago now, it feels like a lot less) I would cross that street every day on the way into work, just about one block South of where it’s shot, so this vid got me all nostalgic and thinking about my time in one of America’s under-appreciated cities.
AVG Apparel launched about a month ago with a three t-shirt collection (and a beanie) and by the looks of things they’re doing a lot right. The video above is really nice, take a couple of minutes out of your day before heading http://www.avgapparel.com/over to the site. Tees are priced at $19.99 which is pretty reasonable.

Usually when I post a teaser video you guys can’t buy the shirts shown yet, not the case with this video, everything shown is already available in the Cheer Up shop.
When I opened all the daily sites today (21 tabs, Firefox doesn’t care for that much) I wondered whether I’d actually get to see the TeeFury site. Thankfully it turned up, so any possible malware that may have existed yesterday appears to have been removed and all is right with the world again. I remain disappointed by the response from TeeFury about the issue, it took them at least 13 hours to acknowledge any kind of problem (done by their Facebook page), and they only wrote about it after the warning message had been removed. They posted this message on Twitter at the same time as the Facebook message: “If you had trouble reaching http://teefury.com earlier, try now! We’ve addressed the issue that was causing problems: http://ow.ly/7LyK8″ That link now goes to a 404 page. Frankly, that is not good enough, if you might be exposing your fans to malware via your site you have to tell people by every avenue about the issue and warn them as soon as possible, not when you’ve fixed the problem, and you should make some kind of mention of it when you send out a newsletter that day (presumably to thousands of people). I still like TeeFury and will continue to write about them, but I do not like the way they dealt with this situation.
I stopped updating the Black Friday t-shirt deal list once it hit 109 items and I got a migraine, but please remember that not all those deals were just for Black Friday, a lot of them carry on until today and a few beyond that too. Not often that you’ll see a Pokemon x Katamari [...]
I, for one, am impressed. Any of you guys tried this now that you’ve seen the vid. I gave it a go and I don’t think I was nearly as elegant as the fellow in the video.
Oh yeah! TeeFury Were Tilteed not selling this design just a couple of weeks ago? Nice Zelda shirt (right reference?) at Shirt.Woot today. RIPT bring us a Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure mashup today. It always amazes me how few Simpsons t-shirts there are out there. The Yetee. Was someone else selling this Buffy the [...]
Adam over at I Am The Trend is really churning out the videos at the moment, meaning that this post is a double including two episodes of IAMTHETRENDTV. First up is a short vid taking a look at a new print from Dance Party Massacre. I guess then when you’re looking at a piece of [...]
Another solid review by Adam over at I Am The Trend, would you guys like to see me getting into video reviews? I don’t think of myself as being all that comfortable in front of the camera, but the only way to get better is practise, right? IAMTHETREND TV: Eternal Clothing | I Am The [...]
Muck A/W Collection 2011 – Part I from itdrewitself on Vimeo. Thirty seconds of your life isn’t too much to spend looking at a little video with cool music on it. Quite nice shirts too, a bit different from what I usually write about but variety is the spice of life as they say. Both [...]
I don’t really know how I stumbled upon Threads TV, but it’s cool too see a UK website putting videos together that look professional and cover the UK fashion scene, and by UK I pretty much mean London. It’s videos like this that remind me that I live in the middle of nowhere (lovely though [...]
Really, really impressive video review from Adam for BLVD, he gets deep into it and analyses the shirt well. IAMTHETREND TV: BLVD Clothing T-Shirt Review
Another good shirt review by Adam over at I Am The Trend, this time showing us when you get when you buy a $50 shirt from Johnny Cupcakes that sold out within a few hours of release. IAMTHETREND TV: Johnny Cupcakes Cupgun Unboxing
Martian Attack – Zapparel from Zappar on Vimeo. If you haven’t got time to watch the video, it shows a t-shirt being the backdrop for a game on an iPad, can you imagine showing that to someone even 20 years ago, they’d call you a witch and dunk you in a pond, it boggles my [...]
Hey, I remember Threadbanger! I didn’t know it had gone away, I just knew that I had departed from their audience some time back, not because they were doing anything wrong, but I realised I wasn’t going to do any of the DIY stuff they were talking about so it wasn’t particularly useful for me [...]
As you may well have guess I’ve decided to start posting videos whenever Iamthetrend and Coty Gonzales release them, they put a lot of effort into their videos and I want to recognise that by hopefully bringing them to a wider audience. Also, isn’t it nice to have some video content on the site? In [...]
I haven’t watched one of Adam’s reviews for ages so I thought I’d check out the one embedded above and I really enjoyed it, especially the parts where he gave pointers on how to improve their offering, people can learn a lot more from criticism than excessive positivity.
T-world 7: New York tee-ser from T-world on Vimeo. Long-time readers will be well aware that I am a fan of T-World magazine (no point linking to the website, it’s literally a black page), even though I haven’t been able to pick up an issue for years now, since they seem to be stocked in [...]
frank & jan – 2011 from frank & jan on Vimeo. As is the fashion, Frank & Jan got some attractive people to wear their new shirts and just hang out whilst being filmed, cut it together with some nice music and called it a lookbook video. This latest release include some really great slogan/typography [...]
