I received the gorgeous Out to Sea t-shirt from PopJunkie a couple days ago, and it exceeds my high expectations. Everything about it is beautiful for every sense to which t-shirts can appeal.
PopJunkie really put this one together: the composition, execution, and t-shirt selection complement each other terrifically.
Strong CompositionAs far as composition goes, printing the large design in the bottom corner gives the entire piece a dynamism that a center placement just wouldn’t have, an effect to which the circling gulls contribute (despite their low contrast with the background).
Precise yet Beautiful ExecutionThe print itself is excellent, and the
crisp halftones of the clouds gives them a feeling of
ethereal wispiness. Even though the white (or light blue—it’s hard to tell), flexible ink is slightly transparent, it just adds to
Out to Sea’s
immensely charcterful design.
Thematic T-ShirtPopJunkie could not have chosen a better garment on which to print
Out to Sea than
Alternative Apparel’s
Water Heather Contrast Stripe Crew. Despite its
rugged,
nautical look, because this t-shirt is a semi-sheer cotton/polyester blend, it’s
superbly smooth to the touch. Although the exterior stitches on the sleeve and bottom hems look odd, fret not: they are blind stitches that are just as strong (see the thumbnail below for a detail picture) and make the hems practically invisible.
I couldn’t finish this review without mentioning the hangtag: it consists of a large piece of heavy, off-white cardstock embossed in dark brown. It adds a classic, upscale touch to an already wonderful t-shirt.

Thats a really beautiful shirt. $35 is a touch pricey, but it looks to be worth every penny.
