My not-very-esteemed colleague is making me do a double shift and then she butts in with T-shirts she thinks I should feature! Herself has a whole bollywood ‘thing’ just because she once went to Mumbai. So to annoy her, I’ve picked out a Brooklyn-based Bollywood design.

You might not get it at first, but it’s a blend of Indian traffic and one of those ink blot jobs they make you look at if you have head-case problems. The reason I like it.

It’s one of those piccies that you can encourage people of the opposite sex to get right up close to, so they can make out the design. Just the thing for clubbing imo. And the love-shack summer colours don’t do it any harm either. It comes from Chor Bazaar which as I say, is not Bolly-based but calls Brooklyn home. Speaking of which, by the time junior Beckham is old enough to get a passport, I reckon that region of New York will have changed its name so as not to end up with the Paris Hilton effect

Do you ever get the feeling you�re being got at? Workmates having a dig because you take a few days off? Join the club mate!

About seven million people sent information about T-shirts they thought would tickle the old teejunkie: they were 99% wrong!

American presidential tees who the foursquare is Adlai Stevenson anyway? Bad idea. Not interested.
Cutesy anime Hello Kitty type tees forget it.
4th of July T-shirts? Come on give me a break!

Wading through the emails is like finding out your mum’s ironed your hoodie � bad news that you have to be polite about.

Did find myself going back to this

It came with one of those announcements that makes you want to kick the writer in the slats: mainly cos it started with ‘We are kicking-off’ and didn’t continue to talk about football, wittering about typography instead.

Then more football For this series the main goal will be getting high quality t-shirts with fresh designs on to your beautiful bodies!! Somebody either needs a better copywriter or a life. Because my bod is not beautiful that’s why I put tees on it in the first place, mate. If it looked good naked, why would I bother?

Anyway the man with the good eye and the bad copywriter can be found here: Hellowman and he actually gave me a laugh at the end by saying, A big plus is that, we made sure that the t-shirts are made from biological cotton and are emission and sweatshop free. Fantastic so there’s no emissions from my T-shirt, right? Obviously Hellowman hasn’t been down Brixton on a Saturday night then.

What’s the T-shirt equivalent of karaoke? It’s the hundred and one places you can submit a tee design to be voted on by viewers. Still, as Mikey skipped out on his next post, it was up to me to find something to please you. Well, it pleases me, you can go and do as you like (wasn’t that polite?) seeing as I’m doing a double shift.

Vespamike1 emailed teejunkie to say he’d won the Designbyhumans
contest of the week. Yawn, yawn, yawn, I thought. But I went and had a look and it’s really not half bad.

I like it. You don’t see many good full design tees these days, it’s largely centred graphics or an offset logo I’m in favour of something that uses the shape of the T-shirt (and the person inside it)! to contribute to design, and this is a very curvy feminine image, which is going to work well for day wear but can be combined with a long skirt and take you into the evening just fine. Congratulations Vespamike1 (who’s offering a 20% off discount btw, just mention teejunkie when you order) you are a justifiable winner of the week.

We go the distance to find the best tees, I tell you. Like this one:

Isn’t that a beauty? I’ve got to tell you, fresh back from festival-land, I was wishing I’d had one of these, and I’ve spent the last few days tracking down the designer and finding out how to get hold of one. The coolness of this T-shirt is doubled: it’s a cool design, and if you spill water down your front when drinking from a bottle or pour it over your head when festival moshing, it looks like a deliberate fashion statement coolness cubed! So cool, in fact, that you could be the polar bear on the glacier mint.

But here’s the coolest thing of all this tee is not on general sale and right here, right now I’m going to tell you how to get one. Oh yes, we go the distance! You have to email missmoustache.design@gmail.com which reaches Marta and Herminia who together make up Miss Moustache Design and they will arrange a price for your T-shirt and delivery.

Now delivery is a big deal here, because it includes packaging, and the packing for this totally limited edition item looks like this:

Now tell me that’s not style in a bag!

Can anybody tell me why Neil Diamond was wearing his jammies on stage at Glastonbury?

Anyway after the usual outbreak of fairy wings, leggings and tie-dye, I need to get back to something with a bit of an edge. What better than Element?

Quick confess I don’t wear their girly tees which are branded under Element Eden very nice I’m sure but very nice doesn’t really cut it, for me. I don’t skate either but we don’t care about anything but tees, like it says in the logline, and their boy T-shirts are razor sharp like this apple pickin offering by Emil Kozak.

I don’t have to tell you about Emil, do I? Okay you lazy sods, I do! He’s Danish and lives in Barcelona (the coolness factor reaches warp drive already) and his work is all over the best places. Including this spiffy tee. Anti-Glasto achieved!

Posted by Kay who still can’t get over those jim-jams, even if he can belt it out like a good ‘un
