Slow Shirts
One genre of design I am down with is the naive crooked lo-fi sort. Slow Shirts (or Slow Loris Shirts?) seem to be down with this, too, so now I am down with them. Their intricate pencil-like designs are very nice indeed. They print at a maximum of one hundred of each piece, and they do it on AA’s. Shirts are $22 and shipping is $4 to the US, $5 to Canada and $8 for the rest of us.
Honkey Threads
On AA cotton for a mere $14 a piece, Honkey Threads are far from the worst tee turn you can make these days. They have a small but sturdy and down to earth set of designs. The Sixpack design is my fav. They even have a sales section where the old shirts go for a $10-er, but unfortunately for us, there is next to nothig left, and there were some good bits there too…
Akadia Cloting s/s 2006
Another label have recently stepped up to the times and released their spring to summer 2006 collection of tees. Be sure to check out there new line of stellar graphically illustrated tees from Akadia Clothing.
There is some nice stuff for the ladies there, too.
Hello Base
Inspired by the great outdoors and country music the Florida based t-shirt design label Hellobase have a great love for nature. This shows through in the designs, too, and a couple of these are very nice, too. The carrot here is that the tees are priced to $9 a piece, so it is hard to go wrong in any case.
Sneak Preview: Hello Minor
The new line from Hello Minor is a sure hit. I don’t have the down low on where to get hooked up, but I’m sure the guys over at the Hecklewood Store in Portland, OR will be stocking these. I am still a sucker for pattern covered apparel, and in my eyes the “Death Tee” is the pick of the litter, although it is hard to make up ones mind about these. They are even sporting a nice 3D crocodile design, so get some of those goofy goggles for your pals. Sneak a peek of all the drugs and dollars here.
Roule® / Vault49™
These tees are really professionally designed. The Roule® / Vault49™ shirts have really steady motifs, rendering them in the “really want one” pile for me.
Shirts are $29, and they have a couple of sweaters at $45 a pop.
Band Tees: Tennessee Beats
Our friends in the Tennessee Beats still have some left of both their tee designs in the merch section of their website. The jackalope tee is really nicely detailed, and they both ship with a free button. The price is 15€ / $17 / NOK 120, and that is including shipping. Transactions via PayPal.
Handmade Horror Tees?
I don’t do Italian, but I just had to hook you up with this entry i found at the Horrorlandia site. It looks to me to be a collection of wonderfully hand painted designs. I really love the Nosferatu image, and there actually is a Nosferatu print by Urban Arts at the ongoing Krudmart sale (see previos entry). This one is far nicer though
Anyway… Go have a look at the images, and if anyone has any more info, a translation or a thought, please leave a comment by pressing the spankingly new comment bubble to the right of the title above.
Big Sale at Krudmart
Addic[tee]d writes that Krudmart are having a great big blow out, and a large section is now 30%-70% off. There is a lot of good stuff out there by the likes of Fuct, Tank Theory, Brown Sound and Commonwealth Stacks amongst others and the prices are nice.
Smoggy Mountain
Not a biggie, but over at Smoggy Mountain they have two good prints for sale. The shirts retail for $25 +s/h, and come in a variety of sizes. I really love the “Love Skull” print. Only downside is that they currently only do the US.
