TEEES

- a guide to short sleeves

Angry Sale

Angry Retail
I just salvaged an email out of my spam bin this morning stating that Angry Retail are having a massive clear-out. Tees are 5€ a pop, and other items are also ridiculously inexpensive. I went ahead and punched through an order at once. I’ve shopped at Angry before, and they are some of the most accommodating guys out there, so there is no need to hesitate.

KIKS TYO

Check out these killer bits over at Tokyo based venue KIKS TYO’s international store. Tees are ¥5,500, and are getting ripped off the rack in a rude manner, so get them in a hurry.

Threadless Sale

Threadless $10 Sale
The big brothers of printed community tees over at Threadless are having one of their signature sales once again, so head over if you want to grab some cheap threads for the summer season. Not all of these are of the highest quality, but I just this nice one from the Threadless Select series which are printed on AA stock, so It should be good. It set me back US$20, which isn’t that bad, still their common stock is a mere US$10 a pick.

Beautiful/Decay Sale
All Some of the tees are now US$20 or less in the amazing Beautiful/Decay store. Be sure to browse through their vast catalogue of stock to see it they have something that tickles your fancy.

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…
Waterloo
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 codeteees.comon checkout you’ll even receive a 10% discount.

Hands On: Bean Dip Clothing Design

I’ve always been a sucker for these natural fibers, and some of the 50/50 poly/cotton blended shirts out there feel as stale as a loaf of bread in mid February. This is not the case for the 50/50 shirts from AA, though. If anything these are way softer and far sleeker than their cotton counterpart.
Bean Dip Clothing Design
The guys at Bean Dip Clothing Design now use these excellent shirts for all their designs, and they have been as kind as to send us three samples for review. The designs seem to still be printed with super low profile water based inks, and the detailing is marvelous. The shirt base bleeds through the inkage giving a great subtle look to the swag.

These guys really know how to place the designs on the garment. The blue “Propaganda” shirt is excellently rendered, and looks far better in life than in any image. I love the hugeness of the “Streets are Watchin’” tee even if I’m not on the roof about the text blending on the bottom. The halftone pattern detail of this design is amazing however. Be sure to check the detail images after the jump.

The gravy is that these are only US$25 a piece over at the Kazbah.

Young Lovers

Young Lovers
Seldom if ever have I seen such an annoying background for a website as the one over at Young Lovers. In spite of this they make some serious t-shirt designs. They have reached a perfect blend of the hand drawn and top of the line illustration in large print over combed ringspun slim-fit cotton tees.

HECKLEHOLIDAY…
