You might know by now how big a fan I am of Monsieur T. (I have written about them five times before). Anyway, if you recall the preview of their Spring/Summer ‘07 line that I did precisely three months ago… those shirts have just launched! I actually had the pleasure to see three of them (Destroy, Poseidon’s Rage, and The Fury of Zeus) up close and personal a couple days prior at the Reed College bookstore.


Destroy and Poseidon’s Rage NEW! at Monsieur T.
As usual, Monsieur T. have detail pictures of their designs that let you see the elegant detail of each. Zeus and Poseidon both fill the shirt with their large contrast prints, which looks really great. Although I didn’t think to actually touch the prints when I had the chance, they looked very crisp and smooth. The print of The Fury of Zeus looked a little redder when I saw it in person than it does in the picture on their shop page (or maybe it’s just my monitor). It’s neat that the white and black print of Berserk glows in the dark, but I like the light blue on asphalt colorway more.
Instead of just slapping their name on the back of all their shirts, Monsieur T. always work it in with something related to the main design on the front. Not only is it unobtrusive, it’s just downright cool. Take for instance this example, from the back of The Fury of Zeus:

So be sure to check out all 22 of Monsieur T.’s new releases for guys and all 10 of them for girls; there are multiple colorways for a few designs, and enough styles that you might find something to tickle your fancy. I find this season to be their strongest yet! While you’re picking up your slick new threads, you might as well browse through their old stock, which are all on sale for 50% off, which brings most items down to $14.
