The best coffee T-shirts
Saturday, January 30, 2010 11:06 3 CommentsOoh, coffee, our nearly favorite! Can’t say what our favorite favorite is for legal reasons, but coffee comes damn close. In reverse order our top three tees are: #3 – The Herkimer Coffee T-shirt from Destee-nation – you may not known Seattle and you may not have tried Herkimer’s coffee but this teeshirt wins because [...]
Threadless gets anatomised T-shirt
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 13:00 No CommentsYou can visit Threadless every day and look at the new Tees and it gets a bit like clothing porn. Yeah. Yawn, T-shirt. Yawn. ‘nother T-shirt. Drink coffee. Do work. Yawn. Which isn’t to say they aren’t good tees – quite often they are. But it takes something really outstanding to be stand-out. And this [...]
Rahzo cubist T-shirt
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 11:41 No CommentsThis cubist inspired T-shirt won my heart for two reasons: • the way that it’s constructed of a range of visual elements that become more harmonious the way you look at them • the powder and chalk shades of blue used in the design, which are colors all too rarely featured in T-shirt design, and [...]
Haiti T-shirt
Saturday, January 16, 2010 10:18 No CommentsIt took just two hours for this tee to hit the market. It just shows how fast the world can work when it wants to – and for those buried, stranded, injured or seeking their loved ones in the earthquake devastated country, every hour counts. I’m showing the $20 option – there’s a $15 one [...]
Belle and Sebastian snow T-shirt
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 7:33 2 CommentsWe seem to be inundated with good British T-shirts right now – where are the American T-shirt brands? So, Mikey tells me that Glasgow is a place that gets a lot of snow (as, right now, is Florida – wtf?) and I wanted a T-shirt that featured snow. Belle & Sebastian are from Glasgow, and [...]
Shoot the Baddies T-shirt at Threadless
Monday, January 11, 2010 8:25 1 CommentPicking good design often involves considering what has stood the test of time, and how it can be given a new twist. Burberry, for example. Okay, I’ve stopped laughing now, but seriously, the way Burberry re-invented its weird sticking-plaster coloured tartan garb is a lesson in how classic design can be brought up to date. [...]
The ‘Name that City’ T-shirt
Wednesday, January 6, 2010 10:39 No CommentsJustin from Burn Suburbia got in touch to remind me about their one designer, one city T-shirts. Funnily enough (okay, it’s not that funny) he picked a city I know pretty well – I spent a couple of months in KL as she is affectionately known, a few years ago, and have never forgotten just [...]
Elegance in Action T-shirt
Saturday, January 2, 2010 10:37 No CommentsWe make no New Year’s resolutions here – or to put it another way, we make resolutions for each other which are immediately broken. I resolved that Kay wouldn’t spray herself with perfume a dozen times a day so my Seven-Up tastes like the fragrance counter of a posh store. She resolved that I wouldn’t [...]
