Everything Burns
Seemingly printed onto the well known quality fabrics of American Apparel the two current designs up at Everything Burns point me in the direction of belief that there will be more goodness in the future. The two designs in their store are nicely executed and sober in their approach. They sell for US$20 trough a Merchline storefront, which is one of the nicer storefronts out there these days.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Kazbah coming along
The outstanding selection over at the Karmaloop Kazbah has increased by quite a few labels since its launch and now includes excellent indie clothing brands like To Die For, Bean Dip and Stacks & Bundles. If you’ve never been or haven’t for some time we urge you to head over for an update.
Rockwell Rocks
I know We’ve done a bit on this shit before, and I’m not really sure if they have been releasing new stuff since. However they do produce such premium gear that I don’t have any problem mentioning these guys once more. They have a lot of clothing out there or guys and girls, and their t-shirts and hoodies are hot as hell, so head over to Rockwell Clothing and check it out.
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.
