how do you spell 'mom', mum?

I always have a problem with American spelling versus the correct spelling of certain words when it comes to the world wide nature of the Interweb. How am I ever going to buy a t-shirt with the words 'tyres,' 'organise,' 'theatre,' or 'centre' anywhere on it? What if I find a great tee which says, 'organize the tires into the center of the theater'? Should stores offer alternate spelling versions of their tees?
This tee is a perfect example. Can I in all honesty wear a tee which boldly flaunts the American spelling of 'mum'? Thinking about it, I guess this is the most logical spelling of mum, as it comes from the word 'mother'... well I guess it could come from a latin word like 'mumtabular' meaning 'mother', and if that's the case then 'mom' isn't correct. Good thing that's not the case.

stylin online

Don't be fooled by it's name... Stylin Online's not just for ummm gangstas... in fact probably for the rap-deprived amongst us. Apart from its strange and misleading name, Stylin Online have the biggest range of licensed tshirts on the Interweb and you can get yourself some great 80s and otherwise tees.

i want to be a hippo

Here's a cute one for the ladies, and it complies with my new love of light-yellow tees. Look at how happy that hippo is in his little hippo world, just lazing about in his yellow lake.

el mercado childhood tees

This tee makes me go all squiggly inside. It reminds me of the good old days before the horrors of responsibility and the troubles of grown up life. Look at her little face, it's just so innocently happy. It could only be better if it were hypercolour... but that was a failed comeback if I've ever seen one.

radioactive panda skyline robot tee

Imagine what it would be like to have a building in the shape of a giant robot? I'd buy an apartment in it's head and rent it out to people. I wouldn't want to live there myself because of all the press attention that the building would get. So great.

new(ish) at tank theory

Get some carny into your washing basket with these new tees from the great kids at Tank Theory. I'm loving Steve Wilson & Asif Mian at the moment, but Tank Theory never fails to find great artists so I'm not surprised.

nifters at keith+lottie

Keith + Lottie (Australia) are one of my favourite real life stores, and now you people in the Interweb can access their wares. Ironic that the tee I'm writing about is from the US's The Quiet Life. I've seen a couple of bracer-tees in my travels, but this is certainly the bestest.

You'll need this much: AU$59 which is some other amount in US$.

old and new at option-g

You may have seen some of the new Option-G tees doing the tee-circuit recently, and now they've become available directly from Option-G. I thought I'd use this opportunity to dust off one of their older designs that I absolutely love to little bits, 'Tree Wars'. The picture is green but I prefer the brown version... weird.

me&yu has a fine new shop

Anything that makes me think of The Mighty Boosh makes me happy so I love the arse out of me&yu. Their crazy 80's electro designs make me so very happy.
I wanted to put more pics up, but check out the site for yourselves, it's great stuff.

roots26 geisha tee

I was contacted by Roots26 to have a look at their range. I nearly brushed over the site as one of those ones with random shapes, numbers, paint splatters and the occasional elk-horn, but it was quickly redeemed by this great tee. It's made from "Gildan Activewear Ultra Cotton 6.1 oz. 100% cotton preshrunk jersey Seamless double-needle collar Taped neck and shoulders" so you damn well better be impressed, Mister. Now all they have to do is get rid of that logo on the sleeve...

aargh, a floating head!

Lmno tees has come out with this jem which I think is just dandy. First thing they teach you in creative-school is 'use the medium' and that's just what this one does. A+. I'm not sure if 'A+' qualifies as a sentence thereby deserving a full-stop (or 'period' for you Americans), but what can I say, I'm a grammar maverick. The only thing I don't like about this tee is that the lady version has brown ribbing around the sleeves. Although I haven't seen it up close so I haven't checked the kerning...

vintage vantage real life review

Vintage Vantage is the love of my life and now that they've sent me t-shirts we're going to be best friends forever. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this tee. At first I thought it was a teense tight, but after a wear it's perfect.
Shipping was super-fast and customer service was spiffing. I've never met them but they seem like people I'd like to hang about with at a pub on a Sunday evening.
Wearing their 'VantageSoft' fabric is like rubbing angels against your naked body. It's similar to JunkFood, but 100% cotton so your pores should be throwing a pore-party in your honour if you buy this tee.
During said tee wearage, I had several strangers come and talk to me. One spoke about how society is becoming humourless, the supermarket checkout guy told me all about his collection of offensive t-shirts, and others just thought I was hot I guess. Two separate people commented that it 'should have a baby eating a dingo on it, that'd be way funnier,' but people are dumb.
STATS
Advantages: Great for picking up.
Disadvantages: Made me like wearing yellow tees. Now there's a whole new world out there for my credit card to explore.

wearable art from sydney collective

The People Like Us Collective make limited edition tees designed by young artists from far and wide. Their aim is to make t-shirt design into an artform and in doing so, they try to give the designers some well deserved cred. I have to applaud them in their noble journey, especially the fact that they include a bunch of artist information with each tee sold so you can stock them in your shop or commission them for some more work... struggling artists have to appreciate that. And while my hands are out, I may as well applaud the fact that they have masses of LADIES TEES! 100 points!
The right design 'Technicolour Waistcoat' is by Karan Singh from Sydney, while the one on the left is 'Funk & Fury' by RA909 out of California.

6dpi at less rain

6dpi by Carsten is a nifty concept, you get a tee with white boxes and then colour them to make your own designs. You can check out their design guide on the site, or get creative and make your own using their grid system. It's just like scrapbooking except that you don't wreck your precious childhood photos by cutting them into dumb shapes and sticking macaroni on them. God scrapbooking shits me.

funny cause it's true

I love Palmercash for their great selection of tees and here they go again, not disappointing me with their latest offering. Although they do disappoint me because they haven't made it for ladies. Again. I guess ladies tend to wash their clothes more.

seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Star Electric Eighty Eight are based out of Harlem NYC and are named after a baseball jersey. That has nothing to do with their t-shirts, as you can see. Unless you get ribbons for winning baseball, but I haven't seen that happen since grade 3, and they were always red ribbons anyway. During the meanwhile, these guys have great tees, I'm loving the huge prints.

mooschool is dapper

I like nothing more than a tee which makes no sense - people who see your tee are easily sorted into two categories... those who get it and dickheads. I like to know who the dickheads are. This dude hand paints all of his crazy stream of consciousness tees... now that's a long attention span. These tees bloomin' rock and if you've ever hand painted a tee you'll appreciate how hard it is and how great these ones look. Damn they are just so dapper.

airside t-shirt club open!

Colm from Airside has written to me with some info about their super-neato T-shirt Club, so I'm gonna share it with all of you, cause I think the artists are pretty damn great, and you can't really go wrong!

Airside T-shirt Club is in its eighth year in 2007. The concept is simple. Sign up as a member and you receive four t-shirts, one per month starting in April, over the summer. The difference is that the designs remain top secret until they arrive on your doorstep. We will only ever print as many as there are members in the club and they will never appear for sale anywhere else so the t-shirts are extremely limited edition.

Each year we invite three of the hottest designers around to join our own Fred Deakin (who when not scribbling for Airside is a DJ extraordinare and one half of Lemon Jelly) to come up with the tees. This year we have James Joyce - currently one of the UK's big names in design, Jason Munn - American rock poster designer - and French multimedia genius Shoboshobo (we've seen his design, it's amazing).

It costs £99, which includes UK postage and membership will close in March. In addition members will receive a special membership pack on application - handy if you want to buy it as a present for someone. For more details and more information on the designers go here.
