Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction Logo T-Shirt

Published October 3, 2011 in Cool T-shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

Over the past few weeks I’ve gotten really into Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (often shortened to Art in the Age). I’ve featured them in the past, but I never realized they were located in Philadelphia and have a flagship retail store here (which I will be going to soon). They just do a ton of cool stuff, my favorite being their crazy awesome organic and historical liqueurs (a  big part of my birthday present to myself). I bought Root, and Snap, which are both incredibly delicious. They also have a third, Rhuby, which was unfortunately sold out when I went to the liquor store. The two that I got are amazing though, and I think they’re fairly well distributed at this point, so you have a chance of finding it in your area. I heartily recommend that you check out the descriptions for all of them–they are indeed as delicious as they sound (if not more…).

Anyway, I chose to feature there very cool logo t-shirt today, and will be blogging about a bunch of their other tees in the near future. Maybe I’ll even try to get some pictures of the tees in their native Old City flagship store environment. I really do love the logo–it feels very Illuminati’ish (in a cool way). It looks simple and clean on the tee, which is just the way I like it. Plus, when people ask you about it, you can tell them about this awesome group called Art in the Age.

I think it’s time to stop rambling about my fan’dom for Art in the Age. But…you can pick this tee up for $28.00 at their online store, and you should also definitely check out all the liqueurs. You will not regret it. They cost about $33 each for a very sharp looking 750 ml bottle and are worth every penny.

Real King LA–Kobe Shirt from 1two

In honor of the Lakers beginning the playoffs tomorrow, and entering into their run for a three-peat, I thought I would post up this shirt from 1two. As you can see, the text reads “The Real King Plays in Los Angeles.” This statement is, quite obviously, true, as Kobe is approximately 1.47 times better than Lebron. I’m checking out for the night now, but go Lakers!

You can pick this shirt up from the 1two store. It’ll cost you $27.99 if you want to add it to your closet.

Insound 10 for 10 Music Shirts–Beach House, Neon Indian + More

Published August 21, 2010 in Cool T-shirts Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (2)

I’ve unfortunately not had Internet for the better part of the past week, leaving me unable to post even though I actually had time to do posting. But…I’m moved into my new apartment in Philadelphia, have working Internet, and am ready to get going. So let’s go…

These offerings come from Insound. They’ve made 10 shirts (and 10 posters) for 10 bands that had a significant impact on music in 2010. I love music (look how unique I am!), so I’m pretty embracing of such motivation. The shirts come from Beach House, Neon Indian, Liars, Titus Andronicus, Broken Social Scene, Girls, Mountain Goats, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and Owen Pallet.

All the designs incredibly well done, and Sonnenzimmer’s (the artist/s) style is pretty dang good. I’ve posted four of the designs from some of my favorite bands on the list, but you should check all 10 of them out. They’ll run you $22.00 over at Insound and they’re printed on American Apparel. The posters are also awesome. Check them too.

Mouth Tee from Pirate Bath

Pirate Bath is a company who (whom?) I’ve featured before. They’re also one of my “favoriter” brands, so I wanted to share them again in case anyone missed out on the first post.

This one, aptly titled “Mouth”, is probably my third favorite out of the five designs they currently have. I dig the sketch style and the horizontal lines on the back are just class (World Cup speech infiltrating my typing).

You can check out all their offerings over at the Pirate Bath store.

Albert from Imaginary Foundation

Surprise! Another killer shirt from Imaginary Foundation. Spacy Einstein on a black shirt just looks awesome. Real awesome.

At the bottom it reads “Imagination is more important than science”, a quote from our good friend Albert (surprise again!). I would have to say that I agree.

Check it out over at Imaginary Foundation. It’ll run you $30.

Fashion Rules from Go Ape Shirts

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about Go Ape Shirts, partly because they’ve been quiet as well. However, Josh’s new release of a shirt by Olly Moss, in Momento Mori, prompted me to go back and take another look.

I can’t believe I’ve never posted about this shirt before. The dude just looks awesome. Pure, pure, awesome. I would be proud to wear this shirt.

Check it out over at Go Ape Shirts. It’s printed all up on an American Apparel tee.

Technicolor Typewriter from Rethink Clothing

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: vintage typewriters on t-shirts look cool, especially when you do interesting/different things with the color pattern. I think I’ve pretty much described Rethink Clothing’s new shirt, Technicolor Typewriter, with that statement. To reiterate, it looks cool.

You can find this bad boy over at Rethink Clothing in white or heather gray. I like the white option the best. It’s printed on American Apparel.

Pop Zebras from MVplus2A on Etsy

Published July 7, 2009 in Cool T-shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted one of my Etsy finds, so to remedy that, here’s Pop Zebra from MVplus2A, a seller I just discovered. It’s a simple design, but I think it comes off quite well and looks real cool. Plus, I give it props because I have one of those pop cameras that uses the different colors, I just haven’t gotten a chance to have the film developed yet.

You might have to search around the seller’s store a bit to find your size, but if you’re interested, head on over to Etsy and grab it for $29.00.

Techno Tiger is Shirt Fight’s Newest Winner

Published May 24, 2009 in Cool T-shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (1)

I have yet to write about Shirt Fight, not because I don’t like them, but more because I just…never got around to it, I suppose. I decided to change that today, because I like this week’s winner, Techno Tiger. This design was the winner for the contest theme, “The Letter T.” Pretty sweet–colorful designs usually catch my eye, I suppose I’m a sucker like that.

You can grab it for 4 more days for $15, after that the price jumps up to $21. They print on American Apparel.

In Full Swing from Fullbleed

I should have written about this shirt a long time ago. It’s one of my favorite designs, which for some reason I don’t own. I need to get on rectifying that. If you haven’t checked Fullbleed out before, I definitely recommend you give them a gander. All their shirts are awesome, and unique designs. They’re all printed on American Apparel too. Check it!
