// For my inner surfer girl

Posted on | July 14, 2011 | No Comments

My favorite t:s have certain amount of shabbiness. Especially the ones I wear at summertime as is, with just a pair of jean shorts or something like that. It does not hurt if they somehow remind me one of my dreams… …to learn surf one day. No wonder the Wildfox t-shirts caught my attention in Cocorosa…

// Used state

Posted on | March 16, 2011 | 1 Comment

T-shirt is such a mundane thing, a true wardrobe basic. Most of mine are just plain, solid color ones. I prefer slouchy cuts, open necklines, draping fabrics. Short sleeves and tank tops are both fine for me. I have broad shoulder line and sometimes the T just does not look good around the shoulder — in that case I might end up cutting it to tank top. That is also a very useful way to get men’s shirts customized to better fit (see awesome Tessa from Apparellel doing it, the tied detail on the back makes a huge difference to a boxy men’s cut t).

I like printed / patterned ones as well… …but I can be quite picky. I can’t really use band shirts, the rock’n’roll’o’meter shows about negative readings around me. But these ones I do love… …as you can see from their used state.

The tank is for double bun days… …even better than the single bun ones. “Revenge fiction” is a bookworm’s band shirt… …perhaps not my favorite literature genre but makes me smirk every time I’m wearing it. Both from Blood Is the New Black. These guys don’t print to your regular Fruit of the Looms — I guess they cut their own shirts and both women’s boyfriend cut and tank are simply awesome. Like perfect.

From James Anthony you can find a set of old graphics turned to shirts — and you can even make a customized order. This wing print on long semi-sheer tunic is my absolute favorite. They print to American Apparel and Alternative Apparel shirts… …I’m so very tempted by the A-lined silk-modal tank…

Galaxy and “Once in the lifetime” are from Your Eyes Lie. Their shirts tend to be viscose, not my absolute favorite (does not hold shape well), but drapes well when cut generously, nice cuts — and they do have some great prints!

“The End” is from Printliberation. They print to American Apparel shirts, the tri-blend tank I do like a lot.

This tie dye viscose tank is an American Apparel gem… …unlike most “tie dyes” that are actually prints this looks like it was really tied and dyed. The slouchy cut is also excellent.

Dr Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb has one of my favorite starting title typography on top of a scene of gentle art of the on-air kerosene filling.

So do you think that the fact I love that type would make it right to order this t-shirt from Your Eyes Lie?

Neat T-shirts from Printliberation. They have an Etsy shop, too — with autumn sale…

These lookbook images by Logan White and Katie Miller are quite awesome.

// Good hand print

Posted on | September 4, 2009 | 3 Comments

I have to admit that I haven’t been able to find too many interesting printed T-shirts from Etsy. Where are all the talented graphic artists, wanting to earn some extra with their designs?

One of my favorites from the few is James Anthony. They use some interesting vintage imagery on quality American Apparel and Alternative Apparel shirts. You can also pick your shirt style and print for customized style.

I’m not sure how long I can resist the T-shirt with print of William Röntgen’s wife’s hand. Geeky and nice!

For a time I have been keeping my eyes open for black and white t-shirt, with somewhat loose lines and with intricate but interesting print. This Gemma Degara piece illustrates those outlines perfectly. Love the delicate line with strong and unusual imagery.
