This Week in T-Shirts, January 21-27

New Faces:1

Familiar Places:

  • Sharp Shirter: some awesome new designs for men and women and some cool laptop skins. This is my favorite update at Sharp Shirter yet!
  • Heavy Rotation: starting this week, Heavy Rotation will be releasing new spring designs every week!
  • Public Domain Clothing: new releases in a broader range of styles than we’re used to seeing from PDC.

For the Penny-Pinchers:

  • Night-Lab (read all the info): the excellent store for men is sadly closing it’s doors, and have a fire sale: use coupon code ‘FIRESALE08‘ for 20% off all items for one more week.
  • Ten Bills: use coupon code SAVETWENTY for 20% off until 2/15.

This Week’s (Admittedly Meager) Features:2

1 We should point out that when we say “new faces”, we don’t necessarily mean that the stores themselves are new (for example, Bewol was created back in 2005). Rather, these are stores that we haven’t featured before on our site—thereby making them “new faces” from our perspective.

2 In our defense, this is Joe’s first week back at college and it’s been hectic!

This Week in T-Shirts, January 14-20

We get a lot of emails every week, some of which we don’t get around to responding to, and some of which we don’t end up featuring here. And we feel kind of bad about it. Besides, not everybody has the same taste in t-shirts as us, so we may as well give you a heads up on some shirts that just aren’t our style. So starting now, every week we’re going to post brief synopses of all the indie t-shirts news in the past week, including everything we’ve reviewed and emails we’ve gotten from shop owners (sort of like the Cotton Filter at Hide Your Arms). We’re not going to be retroactive about this, though, so if you want to appear on this list you’ve got to email us again. Without further ado, the first installment of This Week in T-Shirts (TWiTS)!

New Faces:

  • How 2 T-Shirts: t-shirts that display activities that are printed with instructions… they’re actually more interesting than that makes them sound.
  • MonkeyFist Brands: If you like monkeys who think they’re humans, you’ll love MonkeyFist!
  • FeelDude: a new Italian t-shirt design contest
  • Th.INK It (via compete-tee-tion): a fledgling t-shirt design competition that still has some kinks to work out.
  • A Number of Small Things: the new online shop for Human Empire, a German t-shirt label
  • FFee: shirts from a couple of coffee-loving graphic designers

Familiar Places:

  • Designgive (read all the info): t-shirts for a cause by excellent designers. All designs available on tees and hoodies and on sale for a limited time!
  • Burnswell (read all the info): have announced the winners of their Big Deal t-shirt competition, but they were only available until Friday.

For You Cheapskates:

Bloggy Happenings:

And the things we’ve featured this week:

1st Fantastic Bonanza Free T-Shirt Contest

Fantastic Bonanza has decided to have a monthly contest to win any one of their fine t-shirts. The premise is quite simple: we’ll put up some sort of question or prompt on this here blog on the seventh (7th) day of each month, and you the reader post your response as a comment to the blog entry. Whoever writes the response that we think is best for whatever reason (we agree with it the most, the funniest, the weirdest, etc.) wins a free Fantastic Bonanza t-shirt! We’ll announce the winner on the seventh (7th) day of the next month, at which point we’ll announce the next prompt/question!

This month’s question is: “What is the most FANTASTIC thing that has ever happened ever?”

We’ll let you know who won the free t-shirt on February 7th! Oh, and you absolutely must enter your email so we can contact you if you win! Don’t worry, we won’t give it away to anybody or anything. We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Good luck!
