News at Owl Movement
Hoot, hoot! The owl moves again!
One of my favorite outfits Owl Movement have just rolled out four new tees and some printed pillows. Three of the tees even have owl illustrations printed on them. Everything at Owl movement is beautifully screened onto American Apparel stock for your wearing pleasure. They retail through a Merchline storefront for US$20 a piece.
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.
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.

Hands On: Fantastic Bonanza
We received these tees last week or something bu I haven’t got around to writing the review until now of one reason; The tees at Fantastic Bonanza have their designs printed with water based inks with no flash layer or such. This renders silky soft print that can only be sensed through the gift of sight. These tees need a round in the washer before the print really settles, and this is the reason for the delay.
The other cool thing about this print is that the base colour of the shirt bleeds trough the print giving i a nice organic look. The designs on these is just awesome, too. Just look at the details after the jump. The “Tooth Ache” shirt leaves me screaming for a root canal, and just check out the brilliantness of the “Birthday Party” one.
All tees are a handsome 15% off at Fan Bon until December 14th. This leaves the price at a mere US$17 a go.

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.
Bean Dippin’
Our friends over at Bean Dip Clothing have not been chillin’ on the lay side. In addition to their new designs and supplements to their artist connection tees Bean Dip have also done a transition to American apparel 50/50 tees for all their designs. They are even rockin’ the Karmaloop Kazbah, as a lot of other nice labels are these days. And check out that “dead president” print, as it is sweet as candy. All tees still come in a variety of colour options.
