Just in time for Christmas, ARKA’s package was a welcome arrival at the office. Good stuff, tagless, fairly lightweight. We really dig the ARKAmedes tee (owl). Funky and simple. And Hug This, for the ‘tree hugger in all of us’ (after the jump). Definitely a shop to watch.
Halloween tees are real hit and miss. No where near as bad as Christmas themed stuff, (which is only worn by your mom), but often a bit cheesy. That said, here’s our pick for good Halloween tees this year. Chopshop has always been one of our favorites. Their icon based stuff is unique and ads a nice dimension to the designs.

It’s been a while since we posted. Ages really. How many times have posted that? We’ll we’re doing a little office cleaning and found unearthed some cool tees that made it to our door, but never on the site. Shame on us. Let’s start with this one from Acropolis Apparel – the ‘Downtown’ tee. I’ve kind of digging designs lately that the bleed the bottom (pardon the pun in this case).
Apparently NAU has a new spring line? I thought last I heard they were closing up shop? Good for them, but does anyone know the back story? What did I miss. Comment please.
I’m always bummed when I find something wicked cool that’s been sitting in my in box for a month. And how could I pass up a tee named Electric Budda Head. Enclothe.com has got some crazy sweet action. Check out their blog as well to see some of this stuff going up large scale on walls. Killer.
Catching up on the some of the tees that have landed on our mail bin recently, one of which is the latest from Social-T.com. I dug this one. In light of much of the illustration style so prevalent these days it’s noce to see something that obvious came from a painting and not a drawing. I know I’m splitting hairs a bit as ‘illustration’ surely encompasses both mediums, but this has a distinct brushwork that’s very non Illustrator (the app, Adobe). Anyway, nice.
Based out of Brooklyn with roots planted firmly in India comes Chor Bazaar. An interesting mix of Bollywood, Bhangra-themed designs.
Quick note on a end of summer sale at Thriving Ink. Buy one, get one free with the coupon code: CUST2. Good until August 31st. Might we suggest their Barack Obama tee for tonight’s convention speech?
