Pop Junkie
In a really distinct printing manor Pop Junkie make some nice classic-meets-contemporary designs on various stock. Just take a look at those argyle tees. They are a bit pricey to start off with at US$35, but shipping seems very affordable it seems. There are no shipping details on the site though.

Ichabods
in the mid US$20’s there are a fair amount of beautiful hand crafted tees available at Ichabod’s place. Out of New Orleans this social conscious t-shirt label print their produce on American Apparel shirts and then donate 10% of their net proceeds to a charity of your choice, as long as you choose one of the four good causes they support.
The have a lot of designs for both girls and boys, and the one that first caught my eye was the simplistically wonderful “Knives Out” design. What a looker
Second Place is The Winner
Not currently the largest retailer out there with a mere two designs in their bag, but the designs are sweet nevertheless. The tees from Second Place is The Winner are printed on AA, and are going for US$21 a piece. They also ship with a free sticker each.
All Jelly No Toast
Out of Buffalo, NY they are rolling out discounted orders of Bean Dip and Poketo tees over at All Jelly No Toast. The shirts go for a handsome US$19.95 a piece, and keeping in mind that these are top quality products this is quite the catch.
They also have some of the beautiful Poketo wallets at a killer discount, and they do Bean Dip Hoodies as well.
News at Owl Movement
Hoot, hoot! The owl moves again!
One of my favorite outfits Owl Movement have just rolled out four new tees and some printed pillows. Three of the tees even have owl illustrations printed on them. Everything at Owl movement is beautifully screened onto American Apparel stock for your wearing pleasure. They retail through a Merchline storefront for US$20 a piece.
Chanoir at DDWN
Dadawan has gone and stocked up with new designs from Chanoir. A lot of these are good digs, and there are tees, hoodies, vests and sweaters to be had. A lot of niceness to be had, tees starting at 34€.
Funny T-shirts: One Night Stand Outfitters
We don’t tend to really mention this kind of shirts, but when we were asked to do this paid review of One Night Stand Outfitters I thought I would give it a chance.
Personally I would never dare to slip into one of these rude and loud designs, but I know quite the handful that would. A lot of the shirts at One Night Stand Outfitters are quite amusing but they don’t really reach hilarious that often however. I myself favor a few of the more subtle designs, like the “pleasure town” and “mama san’s” tees. It makes more sense to me wearing a shirt that makes people look twice.
Quality wise these guys have opted for the sensible solution of printing onto good old American Apparel. I see a lot of funny t-shirts out there that aren’t up to much when it comes to quality, so I am pleased to see that someone in the segment are up to par. I can’t find any information on how these are printed, but a mere guess would go in the direction of some sort of heat transfer technique. The shirts retail for a sober US$19.95 a piece, which is quite good.
Hands On: Bean Dip Clothing Design
I’ve always been a sucker for these natural fibers, and some of the 50/50 poly/cotton blended shirts out there feel as stale as a loaf of bread in mid February. This is not the case for the 50/50 shirts from AA, though. If anything these are way softer and far sleeker than their cotton counterpart.
The guys at Bean Dip Clothing Design now use these excellent shirts for all their designs, and they have been as kind as to send us three samples for review. The designs seem to still be printed with super low profile water based inks, and the detailing is marvelous. The shirt base bleeds through the inkage giving a great subtle look to the swag.
These guys really know how to place the designs on the garment. The blue “Propaganda” shirt is excellently rendered, and looks far better in life than in any image. I love the hugeness of the “Streets are Watchin’” tee even if I’m not on the roof about the text blending on the bottom. The halftone pattern detail of this design is amazing however. Be sure to check the detail images after the jump.
The gravy is that these are only US$25 a piece over at the Kazbah.
