Is it possible to get a well-designed Halloween T-shirt? If you look around, you’ll decide the answer is no. There is so much pumpkin headed, witch on a broomstick style dreck out there that it’s depressing. What is it about major festivals and fun that draws all the lousy designers out of their hiding places [...]

Sometimes an entrepreneur also has the soul of an artist. Mark Capicotto might be that man. Since 2005 he’s been producing the most beautiful teeshirts, full of heart and colour, and with a rightly, brightly, youthful vibe that can’t help but bring a smile to your face. And his line is called Glamour Kills. This [...]

Raygun Robyn creates one-of-a-kind pieces – her women’s T-shirts are 100% organic cotton and dyed with eco-friendly dye. This perfect garment art is just $16:00 and can take up to three weeks to arrive. She also writes biographies for her T-shirts which sound a bit like lines from a Barry Manilow song e.g. Pemberton McSquiddles [...]

You may or may not have heard about the fuss over Jan Moir commenting on the untimely death of Stephen Gately. It rather depends on whether you’re under thirty, in which case the Boyzone star’s untimely death will be big in your horizon, or over thirty, in which case you shouldn’t be reading this blog, [...]

I’m very keen on Plain Lazy (and their sister label: Lazy Lady) because I think their relaxed attitude to life is really worth supporting although they do have one of those ‘about us’ statements that make me cringe – this is it: Mission – Plain Lazy is now poised for rapid International expansion. The ethos [...]

It’s not often I get totally blown away by a tee, but this one did it. That’s partly a joke, btw. Only partly though, because from its clean lines, to its excellent noir film homage right through to the sweet joke in the dialogue box, this is a T-shirt in a million. LaFraise have really [...]

While we’re on the subject of debates – another one we go through a lot is the Gameboy/Xbox one (doesn’t everyone spend their working day talking about stuff like this?) and Aeres has a T-shirt that comes down on my side of the scale. I mean seriously (which I’m not, or not in the geeky [...]

We’re having the debate again. Can it ever be acceptable for a heterosexual male to wear a V-neck? She says yes, sometimes. I say no, never. The V necked teeshirt was designed for women, is best worn by women and does not appeal to women when seen on the male of the species – especially [...]

It’s hoody time of year. The weather’s gone lousy, the world has become a harsh place full of deadlines and bad-tempered colleagues who won’t even get you a coffee (you can guess who I’m talking about here) when you don’t even want a complicated coffee, just caffeine in a cup, with or without froth. So [...]

Electronic Sheep is not really a T-shirt label, because its creators: Brenda Aherne and Helen Delany, have a big thing for knitwear. If you grow up in Ireland like they did, it makes sense to focus on woolly knitwear because it’s a damp old place, with harsh winds, draughty houses and a lot of sheep. [...]
