New stuff at Sub Edition
Our friend over at Sub Edition have just got some relly nice new stuff up into their mix. They have also hooked onto the inevitable MySpace as we just have, so go on over there and hook up if you utilize their service. The tees are still £20 a pop. Be sure to check out and vote for your favorites amongst the submissions, too. There is some really good stuff there.
Bood Brothers: Tunes and Tees
This must be the most generous collection of exceptional band merch I have come accross. Really. Is this a band or a t-shirt business?
Out of the Seattle punk scene of the late ninties The Blood Brothers actually make rather nice and loud music, too, that is in the neighbourhood of hardcore punk/ emo which sounds a bit like The Makers, The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Guzzard and Today Is The Day, but with a hint of black metal even.
Ok then. Before I get lost in the layman music review, let us get back to the tees. They are really well designed colourful pieces of art showing good variety. The scoop is that they are a mere $15 to purchase, too, and there are even hoodies and stuff out there. There is no word on the make of shirt though, so someone just has to try it out and post back here with results I guess.
The Undead Project
As my French is rather rusty, I don’t really know what these zombies are up to, bu what I do gather is that they have this really spanking t-shirt design for sale, and that it is printed on AA, and that it is a mere 20€. I also see a second design there for even less at 17€. The merch seems to be sreened too, which is nice. Please fill inn the blanks as comments below someone…
Limited Tee at The Monsieur
Designed by Andrio Abero and printed by Monsieur T. limited to the number of 48 pcs, you had better be quick be you a fishing fanatic. This catch (sorry about that pun, guys) is released on heather grey 50/50 cotton/poly for guys, and white 100% cotton for gals. Both gender’s tees have a silver foil printed label in the neckline.
Hey Disturbia
Did anyone catch that reference in the title?
I get a lot of emails from people pitching me new stuff. Some are good, some are bad and some I don’t even notice that much. Today I received a notice form the gentleman behind a most wondrous venue called Disturbia Clothing, and this one really struck me. Out of the United Kingdom Disturbia delivers something as rare as contemporary high quality designs within the field of punk rock aesthetics.

The Owl Moves Again
One of our favorite sources of the finest cotton with the sweetest prints is the wonderful Owl Movement.
On May 26th they will be having their not so secret “Secret T-shirt Party” featuring exclusive tees by Jon Burgerman, Skwak, Shawnimals, and Christopher Lee. You know we like it. For those of you who wondered, the tees will be offered online at Owl Movement after the party, and also at Rotofugi.
As a footnote I would like to invite all of you to do as Owl Movement and be our friend at our rather ugly MySpace, if you are a user. Yes we jumped on the bandwagon…
Sale at The Cotton Factory: All Tees $10
Hands on Bean Dip
A big thanks for the guys over at Bean Dip Clothing For hooking us up with these:
The good people of Bean Dip Clothing have sendt us some sweet samples of their handmade print-per-order tees. The guys tee is a heavyweight Gildan- sporting a halftoned image of the late Biggie and 2pac, while the girlie is a boom box themed supersoft Royal Apparel custom sliced piece. The printing is done in the superior mannor of water based ink, which renders a soft print that blends with the fabrique rather than lay on top, like the plastisol ink does.
Be sure to head over and check out the Bean Dip site. As everything is done to order, you can chose the colour you want, too you know. Shirts are $18 a piece for blokes and $21 for birds. They sport some killer hoodies, too.
Destroy
I can’t believe this one slipped by me, but here it is nevertheless…
Mona Lisa, Ernest Hemmingway and Hunter S. Thompson are all covered in the current collectoin of t-shirt designs at Destroy Clothing (to bypass the site and go for the designs, go directly to the store). These collageish designs dig deep into the bowels of pop culture through decadence, decay and darkness. The New Word print is definately one of my favs of the site, and there is a lot of other goodness to choose from.
Shrits are $22.99 a piece, and they also make longsleeves, sweaters, hoodies jeans and what not. There are also a lot of sale items at $9.99, and be sure to check out these belt buckles, too. No word on quality or make, though. Shipping seems to be set to $5, but I don’t know if that covers every location. Checkout works through PayPal
Artful Dodger NY
Back in the day the term Artful Dodger was commonly associated with the two-step genre in British club music, and more spesifically for the whole Bo Selecta thingy with Craig David, but not any more…
I am not sure if there is any connection at all, but these days I only see the name Artful Dodger in conjuction with the New York clothing label called just that. Don’t get me wrong though. I am not sorry at all. These garments are really up my alley. The t-shirts are covered in large scribbly street corner art like designs, and they have the jackets and jeans to match. The whole thing is sorta sofisticated slacker, but scribbled down.
You can view the stuff at ADNY’s own flash hell, and you can buy the sweets at Karma Loop starting at about $30, and probably elsewhere, too.
