Retro Skull Shirt from Cutthroat Clothing

Published November 19, 2008 in Excellent Design T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Urban T-Shirts. Comments (1)

Usually I’m not a big fan of skull shirts, despite them being quite the rage. However, this is not your usual human skull, it’s some type of kickass animal as far as i can see. It’s also replete with some awesome colors and geometry to fill out the package. You can grab it on American Apparel for $22 at Cutthroat Clothing.

Also, you can get a discount (i’m not sure how much) by using the code “cereal“.

Surfing Samurai from Anonymous Venice

Bonnie from Anonymous Venice was kind enough to send me their Surfing Samurai shirt to review. I didn’t know what shirt I’d be getting when she offered to send me on, so I had no idea what to expect when I opened the package. I was pleasantly surprised. The surfing samurai is a pretty sweet (and unique) design.

Also, the shirt it’s printed on is awesome. It’s got fraying on the sleeves and the neck, which I’m assuming is to give it a vintage/worn look. It’s also incredibly soft and comfortable. It fits tight, not like a box as goes with many shirts, which I think is a good thing, and is just overall awesomely comfortable.

You can grab this shirt for $40.00 from Anonymous Venice. Bonnie was also kind enough to create a coupon code for all you readers. The code is “TROUNDUP” and will get you 15% off your entire order.

‘Til Death Do Us Party from EIO Clothing

This one is a sweet collaboration between EIO Clothing and London nightclub, The End. I dig both versions of the shirt, but i’d have to say the foil one is my favorite. I love the effects on the text though – it’s good stuff. It’ll run you about 30 GPB, which is what, like $55? So it’s a tad expensive for us Americans, but it’s still an awesome shirt. You can use coupon code “theend” to bring it down 15%.

And Then I Woke Up from Ugmonk

Published October 27, 2008 in Excellent Design T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Urban T-Shirts. Comments (7)

This one made the rounds on a lot of blogs recently, and for a good reason. It manages to cash in on the ampersand craze, but still remain unique and creative at the same time. You get the best of both worlds. For those who can’t see, the “And Then I Woke Up” is written on the bottom right part of the ampersand.  Grab it for $21 at Ugmonk. It’s printed on the awesomely soft American Apparel tri-blend shirt.

We’ve all heard it before. Your friend is explaining his really weird dream, going on and on about all this random stuff and right when he gets to the good part it abruptly ends with “. . .and then I woke up.”

Propaganda Tee from Strange Monster

I love skull headed guy chillin’ in the car, and how he’s way larger than the car. It’s an awesome design all around. It’s also on sale for only $10, which is a great price for a quality design printed on an American Apparel shirt. Pick it up at Strange Monster.

The propaganda is everywhere. If you don´t keep your eyes open to it then you just might choke. Design by Portland based designer Tim Brenner.

CMYK Shirt from Plastic Sound Supply

Our designer Anthony Cozzi, aka Snowblinded, cooked up this haute t-shirt for the label, now available online. $22 for US orders, shipping included. American Apparel.

I don’t actually know what CMYK is (it’s some design term for something to do with colors, right?), I just think some of these shirts look cool. This one is super limited edition, I think there’s only like 14 shirts left. Be unique at Plastic Sound Supply.

It’s the End of the World and You Are A Part of It

I’m rockin’ the type tee for the second time in two days. This one is for sale at Desired Hearts, but it comes from a designer I really like -  AJ from Collision Theory. He did the Black Hole Sun shirt from Design by Humans, as well as a bunch of other great designs. Desired Hearts is also really cool in that they donate $5 from every sale to the charity of the buyer’s choice – that’s a pretty large percentage going to charity.

Buy an awesome tee and support a charity at the same time!

Crazy Awesome Obama Shirt from Elektra

Elektra was kind enough to send me this crazy awesome, crazy soft, alternative apparel, Obama shirt. The shirts they are printed on are truly amazing – just really comfortable. This shirt got some well deserved publicity when it was worn by Madonna.

The packaging it was sent in was awesome. It came handwrapped in unique, printed Obama Paper. It was tied with cut up strips of fabric, and I even got a card. You can tell that a lot of care went in to the shirt, from start to finish.

Each shirt is also hand-printed, without the use of any machines, which is pretty damn cool.

Be sure to check out the whole Etsy shop, the quality and care of both the designs and actual shirts is top class.

Today Only: Into the Wild from Teefury

I wrote about Teefury awhile back with their Darth Vader shirt. They’ve had a few tees I liked since then, but none that really stood out to me. Cue this one, Enter the Wild. Pretty awesome design – I really like that it’s on blue instead of the usual orange that people use for tiger shirts. You can grab it today only for $9.

Imaginary Foundation Makes Me Wish I Liked Black Shirts

I can’t stand black shirts (I get really hot in them if there’s any sun/light around), but these two from Imaginary Foundation almost make me forget about that – especially the second one. Maybe someday they’ll print these on dark blue or something (hint hint), but until then, I urge all you people who don’t dislike black shirts to pick these up. They’re $30 each at Imaginary Foundation.
