The big brrrr summer top

Thursday, May 10, 2012 12:50 No Comments

Why is it soooo cold? This weather is just crazy. So anyhoo, after last week’s snippy conversation between me and Mikey, I get to have another pick this week as he booked a holiday. Poor Mikey. I hope his tent is waterproof. And given just how cold it is everywhere, I have chosen this Poketo [...]

Cleanest T-shirt evah

Thursday, May 3, 2012 8:03 No Comments

Conversation in our office: Me: Look at this, isn’t that the coolest retro Tee you ever saw? Don’t you just love that punched ticket design? Mikey: Mpmph. Me: And hey, looky here! A really solid size guide with all the measurements included. Even HSP. What is HSP anyway? Mikey: You don’t need that. Me: Yeah [...]

Just too clever to ignore T-shirt

Friday, April 27, 2012 6:43 1 Comment

This may not look like the most elegant T-shirt ever, but believe me, it’s been the most exciting thing I’ve seen for a long, long time. This is a garment that, according to the Japanese designers, is based on the area cleared by windscreen wipers. So that’s definitely an abstract depiction! Anyway, depending on the [...]

Adhesion bird-face T-shirt

Thursday, April 19, 2012 6:43 No Comments

My mom was a nurse. This may seem like too much information, but it explains my instant negative reaction to Adhesion. You see, from my childhood, I knew adhesions were bad news because they are ‘bands of scar-like tissue that form between two surfaces inside the body and cause them to stick together’ which is [...]

Dragon Tattoo with a difference T-shirt

Girl with a dragon tattoo? I think so! I love the Steig Larsson books and I love this T-shirt which is, in fact a Geisha image (as an aside, I can actually do that thing with the chopstick hair updo, and it’s pretty awesome) and comes from Akumu (Japanese for bad dream, in case you [...]

Fullbleed fiery T-shirt

Thursday, March 29, 2012 9:14 No Comments

I’m not a big fan of yellow T-shirts (and yes, you can call them gold as much as you like, I know that gold is a malleable metal, not a garment hue!) but this one has a strong appeal to me. I like the color combination, and I am impressed by the boldness of the [...]

Typographically deadly T-shirt

Monday, March 12, 2012 12:17 No Comments

My mind is running on Lent issues at the moment as everybody (except Mikey) seems to have given up something bad or taken up something good. My little world is full of pious ex-smokers and virtuous ex-chocaholics along with foul-mouthed folk who are putting money in a jar every time they curse and sending it [...]

Holy Shark!

Thursday, March 8, 2012 9:19 No Comments

Found over at Design by Humans, this Holy Shark T-shirt is a bloody (pun intended) glorious design by Shinto 896 and it suggests what might happen if you fall off a sailing vessel T-shirt into the briny. I felt the balance between colour, shape and dynamic imagery was pretty well perfect on this one. The [...]

Sailing into Valentine’s on a galleon T-shirt

Not a pirate but still a schooner of a T-shirt, this neat little tee is not the cheapest, but the Euro is struggling and if we don’t support the economy, maybe there won’t be a Europe left for language students to come and invade every year! I like the delicacy of the shading on this [...]

Square Thursday Square Fox T-shirt

Wednesday, February 8, 2012 10:55 No Comments

Square Thursday go across my radar and sometimes barely make a blip, but this T-shirt won my heart. When I was a kid I used to do origami a lot. My mom bought me a book of designs and papers and I used to go to her office after school and sit on the floor [...]
