Summer Sale: Crowded Teeth
Don’t miss out on this chance to get some awsome threads on the cheap as Crowded Teeth are having a summer sale to work up funds for their upcoming fall/winter collection.
A good portion of their designs are now cut by 38%, retailing at a mere $15 a tee. The shirt base is American Apparel, and there are pieces out there for both guys and girls. Among my personal favorites are the various pattern prints. I actually ordered the Teru Teru Bozu hoodie even though it is only available in women’s large, hoping it will pass as a guy’s small. I hope it works out.
To Die For
Out of Costa Mesa, California the name of this clothing label gives great expectations…
To Die For Clothing also fills its own shoes. At least in part. Operating in the realm between tattoo aesthetics, airbrushed car hood looks, 80’s iron on patches and b/w cartoon sketches the visuals are really on the edge of what is accepted within good society. It is however on the egde of things innovatism starts and new stuff emerges, so we salute them. I really love most of these smashing designs, although i find some of them to be a little too extreme in their expression. The ink and daggers tee is just breathtaking, and the Beautiful/Decay piece is almost equally nice.
Tees are $15.99 to $24.99. A bunch of choices for lads and a couple for the ladies.
New Batch of Cupcakes
Just a short notice that Johnny Cupcakes have made som updates to their line. An array of different small logo crossbone cupcake shirts as well as a bathing cake and more to be had. Top of the muffin!
Lost In Translation: Uniqlo
Here is another source out of the eastern regions of the world that is toatlly lost on me. The only things I gather is that there are a lot of nice pieces on the Uniqlo site for both ladies and gents, and that they are extremely modeartely priced at ¥990, which currently is about US$9. If anyone can make more out of this please leave a comment below.
Lucha Workshop
I’ve allways liked shirts with that extra hand made feel. This is why I draw yor attention to Teees sponsor Lucha Workshop. They have the most wonderful little collection of hand printed designs on American Apparel shirts, made to order. The designs are really sketchbook like in apperance, and have a strange feel of some movie I might have seen. The tee collection gives me associations to silver screen names like Fritz Lang, Jim Jarmusch and Tim Burton. Just look at the noir-like “detective” design, or the “thirty” shirt which I just love.
As I said… Tees are of AA stock, they retail at about $18–$20, and USPS shipping of your choice (int’l $10). Lucha also pushes out some killer bags and purses, so don’t miss out.
Hands on: Oddica
With their online store opening today, what could be better than a hands on review? We just got some stuff from Oddica in the mail.
First off, I just have to say that these guys have set up a totally quality deal here. The tee was bundled in this really nice custom sealed plastic ziplock envelope, which was almost too nice to pop open. Bundled with the awsome Vader /Storm Trooper ping pong design was a bunch of postcards, a nice artist card and a square badge of the design.

Kung Fu County: GmTee
Basically I never got into the whole “eastern signs I do not understand” thing, and I am not about to change this, so until I can read it, I ain’t wearin’ it.
There is more however to the eastern culture than their magnificent calligraphy and that is why I still love Hong Kong based outfit GMTEE, and their wonderful designs.
Shirts are a $25′er, and Teees reader Nate tells me the quality of these is at its best.
!Update: Check the comments for a $5 discount, which is good until the end of may.
FreshJive
Totally hot Freshjive designs have just been tossed in the spring/summer salad of ‘06. Just have a look a the imagery abobe. Be sure to check out their awsome brass knuckles all-over print, too. It is only available in sz large, but it really rocks.
The tees start at $20, and they also have lots of other sweet stuff going on. Be sure to eyeball those hoodies guys and gals. They kill.
Brazilian News: Camiseteria
All the way over on the South American continent, some guys are printing up wonderful tees. It may not be that strange if you take the climate into consideration. These people are the ones really in need of cool combed cotton.
In any case they’ve got it now with these three new designs from Brazilian tee vendor Camiseteria. I think I’ve been through the conversion rates of their monies before, just search for it.
