New Shirts at Teetonic
The British submission based outfit Teetonic have been rolling out some nice updates to their set lately. Their line has acquired an unique feel, even if they do designs from various participants, which is a really nice deal. All tees are £20, and are promised to be of top quality, made from ringspun and combed strands of cotton, and with just a touch of the stretchy stuff for the ladies.
Threadless $10 Sale
I just bought a couple of t-shirts over at Threadless, as they are going for US$10 a piece again. The sale will reportedly run for thirty days, but some items may sell out way before this. On the other hand there will probably emerge several new bits in the next few weeks. I see they have been rolling out some hoodies and stuff again, too.
Hands On: Toke
Siplicity is king! The designs over at Tokeworld are streamlined and simple, and somehow they are great…
We received two specimens for review. One guys “Top Hat” design and a pink girly cocktail print. The two shirts are of different character; while the guys tee is a preshrunk cotton, white, tubular, medium weight, semi-fitted shape, the girly tee is a rounded cornered heavy, yet soft fitted tee. The print quality on these seems excellent with good precision and keen detail. They both have the inscription “High Society”, and both have nice custom labeling. Pay notice to the “Wash Sometimes” care label. Pictures speak louder than words, more after the jump.

Hands On: Me & Yu
We’re still getting some nice samples sent over from the independent teesign community. One of the latter picks is this sweet Bootsy-like pop-art printed translucent yellow on blue bit of goodness from Me & Yu.
To start with the basics, the base of this shirt is a good medium weight tubular jersey knit shirt in a bright blue shade. The printing is as I have already mentioned translucent with a repetitive design slightly sandwiched rendering it more saturated in the overlapping areas. The design is very pop art, but with a seventies soul/funk/disco twist. The shirt feels somewhat rocked nevertheless.
Men’s shirts run £25 a piece, while women need only hand out £18 to £20. They even sent me a copy of their nice photocopied fanzine, and every order ships with 6 free buttons and some candy. Be sure to have a look at heir hoodies, sweaters and other goods too. More pictures after the jump…

New Store at Naive Clothing
The guys of Naive Clothing have put up a brand new store section on their site. There are some nice picks there, and I could really go for the Argyle print myself. It is most definitely one of the better ones out there these days. Another good thing about this label is their pricing which lingers at about 16 bucks US, and keeping in mind that they print on AA this is really good.
Beautiful/Decay + Poketo
The Beautiful/Decay store has been enriched with some really nice stuff from the awesome Poketo. Be sure to give it a go.
Hands On: Custom Industries
In the past I have actually been less than dazzled by the works of this label. Up front these tees are something else. They are totally custom and really nice. My favorite of the two items in the care package I received form Custom Industries is by far the cut/sew short sleeved “white horse” tee. The detail is magnificent and its quality excellent. The motif is sorta reminiscent of a puma t-shirt I once had but far nicer. Both shirts have heavy contrast seems around the sleeves, waist and shoulders. The colour schemes are great too. Check out the rest in their online shop, or see the rest of the images after the jump.

Monsieur T’s F/W 2006
Although I am still very busy elsewhere these days I cant believe I never stitched you with these goodies off the fall/ winter rack at Monsieur T. These are some of the nicest pieces around theses days, all made by top notch designers, and playfully compiled. I know I’ve previewed these, but now you know they are out there at least.
