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.

threadless at $10
Be sure to get your dig now if you are shopping new tees over at Threadless, cuz the stack is rolling out at US$10 a tee again.
Hecklewood Rides Again
Brand spanking new stuff is set to appear in the Hecklewood store. Their new line looks none less than awesome, and Sammy and the guys have made a great bunch of wicked clothing once more continuing down their successful path of halftone illustrative designs. This stuff is truly cutting edge.
Fullbleed Finally
Rob over at Fullbleed has finally got the f/w 2006 line in stock. There are some smashing good pieces out there, and he has even printed up a heather grey hoodie of the goofily named yet sweet as syrup “Surf’s Up Dudes” design. All pieces are still swinging AA stock, and at a whopping US$16 a tee you probably can’t do much better. These are printed at the highly renowned Mammooth Printshop and should be razor sharp.
Hands On: Monsieur T.
Yesterday I received an envelope in the mail containing the awesome Deactivated tee from Monsieur T. The print is really out there. The illustration is made by Ryan Berkley and is of these street kids leaving some graffiti on a huge deactivated robot. The print runs from the back right along the side and onto the front bottom right of the shirt. The detailing is good and the print quality is excellent.
I don’t recognize the shirt type, but the material seems to be of similar quality to AA, even though the sizing is a bit looser and larger. The label states that the shirt is of pure cotton, is preshrunk and manufactured in the US. The shirt is currently on sale at US$21.25.
Along with the shirt Quentin even sent me some stickers and a button. He also dropped in their fall/ winter 2006 catalogue, and I can tell you right away that you are in for a treat. For more info on their upcoming stuff I urge you to have a look at this High Snobiety article or the Beautiful/Decay magazine issue P.

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.
Limited Teees
By now our loyal readership knows how we feel about patterns printed on nice cotton. We have therefore gone ahead and let The guys over at Octopus Ink print our first ever run of custom tees in a really, really limited amount…
These are now available for purchase in sizes: girly small, small, medium and large on 100% soft cotton American Apparel shirts. For the time being just leave a comment in our “shop” stating the size and quantity you want, and be sure to use a valid email address. You will then receive a PayPal invoice with instructions on how to pay. More product images to follow.
The shirts are US$35 a piece including shipping to your destination. Simple as pie.
Threadless at $10
This time it is dubbed as a back to school sale. I am of course talking of the sale over at Threadless, where they are pushing the shirts out at $10 a piece. They are also pushing out a lot of new tees over the next days, and I actually found something I like. The Urban Camouflage bit by Travis Pitts is really nice, with print on front and back. Check out this fact sheet about the design.
Well… I kinda lied a bit there. Not all tees are a handsome $10. The “Threadless Select” collection is $20 a piece.
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.
August is Awesome at Oddica
Over at Oddica they are doing a lot of cool stuff this August. They are rolling out shirts on the discount ($20, 2 for $32, 3+ $14 each), they have printed some great new designs and they are doing a friendly coupon code. It works like this: You write inn the coupon code “tell”, Oddica gives you a handsome $7 off your order as long as you tell a friend about their existence. “Preachin’ for pay-off” you could say. And hey, be sure to check out that funky monkey, and remember this is only good in August.
