Hands On: The System
Here is another hands-on review. I spilled coffee on this, so I had to give it a wash before reviewing and it washes nicely at least…
This monster print is really awesome, and if you look at the pictures further down in the review, beneath the “read more” mark, you will see that the print blends into the shirt really gracefully. The print is also slightly desaturated giving it a more organic feel and look. Be sure to have a look into the detailed print on the lower torso of this monster too. It is really quite nice.
The monster design is printed onto a Gildan heavyweight tee. I am not tot familiar with this cut, but it is not as fitted and slim as Am. App. and not quite as heavyweight as the Hanes 6.1 oz’s. It does however seem to be well proportioned and it washes really well, with next to no colour spillage. It also has good double seams, reinforced in the shoulders and neckline. It is tubular in construction and has a nice ribbed neck.
The shirt sells for a mere $13. The System also sells some other designs and a couple of wonderful one-offs. More pictures after the jump…

Individualitee
Although I cannot honestly say that this is my new favorite design tee outlet or anything, Individualitee has one of the most professional interfaces I have seen. You can choose from a list of twelve countries and receive full localisation of both product descriptions and sizes. The designs are set in multiple colours, sizes and shapes, and are printed on Hanes or AA, which are two top quality brands. There is a very good and sturdy description of the product and print so there should be no surprises.
There are a couple of nice designs out there, too. I like the classic cassette-cross bone piece, and this cloud design has a rockin’ colour scheme.
Tees start at about £15 and extend to around £21. Shipping seems to be fairly inexpensive, and the quality should be sharp.
Not Threadless Again…
So, it is official. We are once again talikin’ of the big T, the Mickey D of the tee. But why?
Well for the reason that they are acually doing something noteworthy:
- they have redone their entire site
- they are having a new SALE with selected items for a mere $10
it ends on the 15th though - they have started printing slogan wear, and have done this lucious GOLD transfer bit
- and it is printed on American Apparel even for the blokes in white or my favorite asphalt
- and finally they have reprinted Huskworks’ raygun design
- and they are even doing it for the kids
In conlusion. If you have not been checking out Threadless lately, you might want to have another look keeping in mind that most tees are $10 right now.
