Hands on: Escape Adulthood
A hands on review seldom comes along alone…
Yesterday afternoon I went next door to the post office to pick up a mystery package. The box contained no less than two t-shirts, a paperback book and a nice little comic book. All were on the subject of escaping adulthood, or how to stay young at heart.
The shirts were of Gildan Stock which is basically a mid-range tee. It is heavyweight pure cotton, and has a loose fit. The shirts had print on both front and back and the printing seems to be nicely done with fine coverage and sharp detail. For more info, or to purchase these tees, the book or other items head over to their store. The t-shirts are US$16 each.

Crowded Teeth: Fall Preview
Be sure to check out this product chart featuring the fall collection of Michelle Romo’s Crowded Teeth. There are some truly kickin’ newcomers on there, not just tees either, but Hoodies, sweaters, knit mittens and what not?
I do love that Eat Crest a lot. Some of these are available for women only, others are for both genders. If it is anything as the last round these are printed on AA, priced moderately and done nicely.
Lipstick Prophets
We’ve got even more suggestions just for girls today. Check out these punk rock inspired pieces by the Lipstick Prophets. There are a lot of spider webs, skulls and crossbones, and they look really nice.
Fred Flare Sale: 9.99
Here is a little holler to all the girls. Fred Flare is having a t-shirt sale with a lot of good pieces for only US$9.99 a piece. They still perform highway robbery on international shipping through UPS though, but if you are in the Americas you’ll do just fine.
Cotton Factory: Ten Bucks Sale
Slogans, illustrations and comedy are some of the things you might find among the 98 tees on sale at the Cotton Factory for a mere US$10 a piece. As far as I am aware they print on heavyweight Jerzees stock, which seems to be quite alright.
New Obey at Digital Gravel
They guys over at Digital Gravel have just stocked up a new lot of tees and other nice stuff from Obey. The tee series is called Obey Antiques, and is cut a bit smaller and sewn from softer ringspun cotton. Tees are about $26 a piece.
Knocked Up: Babu Maternity Tees
Your tummy might not stick out at the bottom even as these tees are made out of a “super stretchy blend of cotton & lycra”. The tees all have humoristic designs relating to pregnancy, and they sell for £25 a piece. Head over to the Babu Boutique for a fix.
Monster Sale: Teetonic
They are calling it a monster sale…
All shirts are now £15 over at Teetonic, and they have a couple of killer bits up in their catalog. I really like the “Clients are evil” shirt, and there are some other good treats too.
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…
