Waterloo
You would think this to be a London-based label really, with the name and the imagery on the website, but Waterloo runs straight outta Buenos Aires in Argentina…
Digging into the pop culture of mainly the 1970s is no new thing to t-shirt designs. Waterloo does this with a keen eye, an updated sense and a subtle form of humour however. The results are rather successful, and I far on prefer these tees to a lot of the plain retro or re-issue designs out in the big pond today. Just look at the Clash piece. It works as an updated view on a good old classic mixing it with 1950s poster art and a 2000s overall whack.
I can’t find any info about the shirt stock used, but the geometrics give an indication of these being modern fit tees. They are available in girls and guys sizes, and even as tank tops in some cases. Prices are at US$24.95, and they ship more or less anywhere.
If you enter the coupon code “teees.com” on checkout you’ll even receive a 10% discount.
Fisher Price Squeak Box Tee
I just spotted this piece over at LaFraise, and the funny thing is that I actually own one of those kid’s cassette players myself. It is actually sitting right here on my desk. Hook yerself up if you dig it. It i 22€ or 24€ as longsleeve.
Hand On: Swami Safari
I received this piece sometime last week, but due to illness and work I’ve not been able to do the writeup until today. This is a treat of a tee though…
The Swami visits the World Tree Yggdrasil and is introduced to its many inhabitants. The World Tree supports the entire universe on its limbs, its roots gnawed at by the dragon Nidhoggr. The giant rooster Vidofnir is perched at the top of the tree. Both bird and dragon employ Ratatosk the squirrel to pass insults between themselves (and heaven and hell).
The shirt is smooth and soft in light and fine cotton with a slightly roomy neckline at the top. Inside the neckline the story behind the design is quoted together with the company logo.
The design is a nice large print black on the white soft tee base, and the print seems to be of good quality with little touch to it. The detailing is exceptional as you may see from the detail shots after the jump.
This is the first tee from Australian label Swami Safari, and if you like it stay tuned or even subscribe to their monthly teeliveries and receive a 10% discount. The shirt itself is AU$49 in Aussie and NZ, or US$45 to the rest of the world, shipping and taxes included. Payments go through paypal. More images after the jump…

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.
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!
Chateau Roux X x-mas
‘Tis the season for discount shopping over at UK’s finest. Chateau Roux are doing a 3 for 2 sale of their tees these days. They also have some new arrivals on display. With these tees being somewhat expensive in the first place there is definitely some Pounds to be saved here.
I-Manifest
Re-stocks and brand-news are available over at I-Manifest. You have to love that eclipse shirt. It doesn’t scream anything about McGyver or Mr. T, but who wants that anyway? The print is so elegant, and the shirt comes in two colour options. The new cupid design is also a good go, and check out their sale department for 25% off selected items. Nobody would know. Full price t-shirts are US$28 a piece, and you can do the math on the discounteds.
Concrete Hermit Updates
The new bits up in the Concrete Hermit’s place are not to be ignored. Weighing in at £20 a tee, and printed to American Apparel stock these should make for a nice torso cover. They are bound to make you look knife-sharp. The b/wh CH pattern tee is just amazing, and they are doing Burgerman dammit!
Moving Owl Movement
It is not the largest discount in t-shirt retail history, but it is a decent chunk. All tees at Owl Movement, which is one of my very favorite setups are currently rolling out at a 2 for US$36 rate. For the slow ones that is US$18 a piece, which isn’t bad for this kind of quality. Note that shipping costs are not included.
