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.
New shit at Dadawan
Graffiti and Graphic designs. Dadawan has just added a handful of new designs to their mix. Some are from La outfit Dissizit, and some from Neo@ in collab with PEARL. Nice cute pandas and hard street graphics.
The PEARL / Neo@ shirts are 34 €, while the Dissizit shit is about 25 €. You can always count on DDWN for nice and sensible shipping costs, too.
Beautiful / Decay
I’ve been it touch with the people of the awsome underground culture magazine Beautiful/Decay. They have pointed me in the direction of the new additions to their shop, and more specificly in the mens clothing section wher they have some smashing new stuff of their own alongside an impressive gallery of tees from other outfits. Beautiful/Decay don’t do their own designing though, they hook up with the hottest names already out there. Their recent additions include designer names Sasha Lee, Saiman Chow, Aya Kato and last but never least Skwak.
These new tees are $29.95 a pop, and prices for the other stuff is around and about the sub $20 to $35 mark. Prepare for stuff form Cryinn’ Tiger, Johnny Cupcakes, I-Manifest and lots of others.
Fresh Bean Dip Designs
The nice people of Bean Dip Clothing have hooked up with a couple new faces in their Artist Connection collection. Matt Collins’ “Speaker Box” tee is available for guys in sizes S to XL, in 7 different colours at $18, and for the girls Mike Fretto’s first addition to Bean Dip’s line, the “Freedom” tee can be had in a variety of styles and sizes starting at $21.
Hands on: Disturbia
The nice folks over at Disturbia Clothing in the UK decided to hook me up with some of their cotton after the recent write-up about them. I even got to take my pick, and after much indecision I setteled for their awsome New Wave design printed on an inside out premium American Apparel shirt, which turned out to be quite the good idea. These shirts hold great quality, and I love the large size of my print. It went really well in cascades of my brand new possibly fake, ytterly ridiculous BAPE hoodie, which also arrived this tuseday afternoon. I took a snapshot in the mirror of them both.
Threadless Summer Sale: All for $10
Here it is again. T-shirt giants Threadless are having one of their trademark ten dollar sales. Eeach tee in stock goes for the price of a $10 bill, so your summer is safe from unvoluntary nudity.
The sale is on until midnight of may 8th (CST) which is just about a week away, and this stuff tends to get ripped off the shelves pretty quickly, so hurry on ladies and gents…
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.

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
