Peace Gear
I love getting a parcel. It’s a good start to the day. I love getting a parcel with a good tee in it most, obviously. And above all, I love getting a parcel with a good bike related tee. Cycling in a cool bike tee on a nice trail on a nice day… definition of yay!
For those who just come here for the pics and the links. Here’s the link: Peace Gear @ Art in the Age .com and the pics.
The shirt is hand printed on a quality American Apparel shirt, in a borderline black grey, so quality is top notch. The printing is crisp, and nicely textured - part of the shirt, not hovering just above waiting to fall off in the dryer. I love the design, perfect for the dark green cyclist.
Another thing that I’ve posted about before is the quality of a tshirts label. Top notch HUGE labels from art in the age of mechanical reproduction. Proper ‘hang it on a locker peg’ sized. Great fun.
And one last thing, and possibly the kick off of a new competition. I found a scary ghost face with a crown in the tee. Look! He looks a little concerned though. Poor guy. If you spot any others drop me a comment! The best one wins a tshirt and some stickers and stuff, or something like that. Email steve@omgtees.com with your entry.
gorilla
Lines like ‘wearable mobile canvas’ usually kind of turn me off a site. But hey - these designs are pretty hot and I’m in a good mood. Gorilla Riot has a bunch of collections, each with a small stack of crispy designs. Crispy? You know - illustrative, bold lines, characters, solid color. That kind of thing. I especially like the GR43 collection - very 2000AD (you’ll just have to click to it - flash site, so hotlinking is tough!).
Tee prices vary from about $15 - 25.
CTU - like Jack
When it comes to 24 tees I’m usually left cold, but this one seems to be making me smile. Just don’t wear it to the airport.
I reckon Jack Bauer should turn up in Heroes at some point, as his regenerative qualities are close to those of the cheerleader. Slap him for a month, and all he needs is 5 minutes peace and a glass of water and he can kill 18 guys with a spoon.
ghosty boogie monster
The boogie monster is a peculiar beast. We all know they exist, but we don’t know what they look like. Until now.
I’m pretty sure this is a tee with some boogie monsters on. Excellent. I need ponder this problem no longer. It also has a nice ‘lower back boogie monster’ shouting black sea!, the name of the teeco responsible.
Also, how happy does this pic make you on their homepage? Very! That’s how happy. Happy and jumpy.
inner robot
I’ve seen a few ‘inner robot’ shirts around, but this one from Partybots kinda does the business for me. The robodude on the left just looks like he could kill you with his broken heart. He’d grab one half in each hand and use the serrated edges to cut your head off.
The robodude in the middle would laugh, and orange guy on the right would shout ‘no - don’t do it - he ain’t worth it’. Probably. Buy it here anyways.
EULAs EULAs everywhere!
Well, not EULAs as such, but a rental agreement - on a TEE SHIRT! What next. If you get one of these you have to coulnt how many people believe the print, and let me know. You know someone somewhere is going to take this seriously. Even sober. Once drunken and brain impaired - of course they will. Comedy stuff.
yeah okay
Two things to tell you about this new shirt from Commune_. One is that it looks like something robert crumb would draw if you asked him to draw ‘yeah okay’ on a shirt. The other is that the flash site that sells it is good fun almost solely because it flickers ‘LOADING’ at you regularly, but you don’t mind!
Trust me, pay them a visit.
cool beans
A new site to me, Wunjo has some pretty nice abstract but characterful tees.
Cool Beans shown below in Guys and Gals style reminds me of an old Threadless tee - but with the addition of a cool car. And what tee isn’t improved with the addition of a cool car?
We even have a discount code for OMGTees readers, the code is WJTEN and knocks 10% off orders without any restrictions, it expires on December 31, 2007.
girly tops with attitude
I know these aren’t strictly tees, but sometimes out female readers need to wear something a little more subtle and … well… pretty. Lochers to the rescue.
The kind of slogans you expect to see on a screenprinted AA tee turn up embroidered into a floaty tunic top, the You Suck below is a pretty subtle example. One or two would make your mum blush! Nicely edgy. Very girly. This is the future guys!
Other teecos should have a look at the website too - amazingly good fun to look through, and not just for the hot model.
And another excellent pre Xmas free shipping offer. “Totally free world wide shipping on all of our items (from now until December 20th)! Just enter the word “cupcake” in the Coupon Code / Promotional Code field at the end of your checkout, and hit the apply button, and the shipping is totally free anywhere in the world”.
Any other girly tee specialists to tell me about? Comment below!
BEARS - scary!
I love the feel of this tee from defunker. Probably because old survival books, ray mears, and yogi bear combined to give me many MANY nightmares as a young ‘un. Most of them centered around me trying to create fire to fend off the evil animals. If only I’d had this neat yellow tee, I could have known to just stay in town.
I suspect this shirt will just keep getting better and better as it gets older. Actually, I’ll bet you $20!
$10 Threadless Sale - AGAIN!
These $10 threadless sales seem to come around more quickly these days - or maybe I’m just getting old and jaded. I am NOT going to buy any this time around though - I still haven’t worn a couple from last time. I have to say though, the cowboys and indians shirt is pretty sweet.
beetlemech
Beetlebots - who hasn’t had nightmares about mechanoid insects dragging them into alienesque burrows to eat their souls and / or brains. Or is that just me? Too much robot wars back in the day!
I’ve been meaning to point to Dans site for an AGE now - as some of his designs are genuinely good fun, and his photography is top notch. It always gives you an idea of how seriously a teeco takes life - the extent to which they find locations to suit their shirts. Top marks on that front. Go on - buy a beetle for someones christmas.
Note - the flash site can make browsing a bit slow - but it’s worth the bother. Honest.
stab that post-it
How I missed this last week at uneetee.com I don’t know. Sums up the feeling of a pointless monday morning at your desk when you are still clinging to that sense of freedom from the weekend, and haven’t been gripped yet by the challenges and mental workouts awaiting you in the week ahead.
Okay, so most of us still feel like that on Friday afternoon… but thats a good thing - it means you can wear this tee all week. Hurrah.
turtle head for girls
Turtlehead now do girls tees. Yay for girls.
In addition - 10% off everything until Xmas. Nice. I’m also loving the new front page:
.
yackfou all new
Free shipping worldwide. Now if only every teeco did that. YackFou have relaunched their website, and I love the change. English translation just about everywhere makes things much more straightforward for the none German speaker.
The designs are pretty illustrative and scary - the farty monster below rules!
Ever wondered what Ladies L, Gents XL, or Guys M looks like. Wonder no more. Yackfou brings you VIDEO tshirt sizing! Video sizing guys. How cool is that. And I love the attitude on the site - how many other teecos have this in their profile page “In principle we don´t really have a clue what fashion is about.”
And yes. If you flip the y and the f you get a well known phrase or saying.
SHARK!!! SHARK!! SHARK!
I love a good ascii tee. This one from Lucky Threads avoids the black, going for a more appropriate sea colored blue. Why? Sharks! Personally, I could live without the L33+. But hey - SHARK ATTACK doesn’t look as cool as SH@2K @77@CK now, does it?
