Pestol Packin’
These seem to be largely printed on AA, and did I say I am pleased to see such nice designs from so close to home?
I have seen other Danish t-shirt labels out there before, but it has been a while since one has surfaced. The shirts from Pestol are willingly playful and have a nice comic book feel to them. The smoking new Hektor “Feelin’ Foggy” design is just awesome, and I love the “Hvad Jeg Er Lavet Af” (translates into “From What I Am Made”) tee. These buggers roll out for 39€, but there are other shirts in the mix from 16€ too.
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.
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: Fantastic Bonanza
We received these tees last week or something bu I haven’t got around to writing the review until now of one reason; The tees at Fantastic Bonanza have their designs printed with water based inks with no flash layer or such. This renders silky soft print that can only be sensed through the gift of sight. These tees need a round in the washer before the print really settles, and this is the reason for the delay.
The other cool thing about this print is that the base colour of the shirt bleeds trough the print giving i a nice organic look. The designs on these is just awesome, too. Just look at the details after the jump. The “Tooth Ache” shirt leaves me screaming for a root canal, and just check out the brilliantness of the “Birthday Party” one.
All tees are a handsome 15% off at Fan Bon until December 14th. This leaves the price at a mere US$17 a go.

ShirtStain Sale
Here is another way of getting you hands on sweet and cheap cotton. ShirtStain are currently rolling out their business at US$20 for two pieces of AA goodness. I urge you to look at the “How to build a Killer Robot” at least. and there are a lot of other good bits out there, too.
HECKLEHOLIDAY…
…is the code you should enter at checkout. That is right! Sam and the guys knock off a handsome 15% off your bill, when ordering from the Hecklewood web storefront. The offer is only good until tomorrow though!
Still Going Ape
Smallish newcomer label Go Ape Shirts are really getting settled. They have just rolled out three new shirts, and their website is looking rather sharp. I think the “Pillow Fight Club” bit is fun, but sorta goofy and the “Amsterdam by Night” shirt by MAKI Ontwerp en Illustratie is looking fresh. The pick of this litter though is by far Olly Moss’ “Evolver” design based on the superior Beatles album Revolver. This is one of these designs that only comes along once in a blue Amsterdam moon. The Beatles meets Planet of the Apes. GO APE!
Shirts are US$18 on AA.
