Redemption Shirts – Horses

June 27th, 2008 by Matt

I picked up a crest style shirt from a company I’d never heard of before over the weekend. It’s called “Horses” and it’s from Redemption Shirts. They’ve been online for two years, but just started doing any kind of advertising and such. The owners are Jason and Gabe, and they started out doing shirts for their school. Their prices are great and the quality is top notch. No bleed, no flaking, and printed on Hanes Beefy T.


Price: $13

Ziraxia

June 16th, 2008 by Matt

Ziraxia is a…. well, a weird company. Their “mascot” is a little alien dude. The company motto is normal though “Sell your designs without selling out”. Here’s what their site says:

” Here’s what we do:
We sell your T-shirts for you. We screen print your designs on top quality T-shirts like Hanes Beefy Tees or American Apparel, and we don’t take short cuts. We sell them on Ziraxia. We ship them to your fans. We keep records of your sales and your affiliate activities, and you can access those records through your web browser. We pay you. You can get a check or request Paypal payouts. We keep it simple.”

They sent us a girl’s shirt though that I guess is advertising for their site. It was pretty good quality, but I’m not sure why anyone would buy it. It’s from a designer named Zira.


Price: $16.99

So I guess they’re trying to be a reseller for artists, but there’s so many of those sites out there already, I’m not sure why someone would use a site that no one has heard of. Combine that with how difficult their site is to use, and I don’t know if we’ll see this company around in a year or so.

Pillows?

June 14th, 2008 by Matt

Yes, Pillows. Resist Today (formerly called Iron-On Resistance) sent some SWEEEEET pillows our way. We’ve never featured anything like this before. Resist Today however, is always expanding their product line, and keeping some of their best prints available on different mediums.


Price: $34

They’re thinner then I expected, but look great on my tan plush couches. There are 7 pillow designs available, but some may be out of stock at the time of writing this.

Choice Shirts

June 13th, 2008 by Matt

Choice Shirts has a huge selection of shirts. Normally I don’t like sites that carry a huge selection, as they have a ton of crap and only a few good designs.

This site has broken down their shirts into specific categories including:

  1. Holidays
  2. Rated R
  3. Kid Friendly
  4. Animals
  5. Etc

Sounds kinda lame to be honest, but I like their vintage shirts. Here’s some examples:


Mr Rodgers, It’s all good in the hood.
Price: $19.95

I wouldn’t be wearing this shirt, but I know a lot of people who love this style:


Sesame Street
Price: $19.95

My MTV
Price: $21.95

Check them out, browse the shirts, and hidden within the tons of shirts you’ve seen before, are some great gems. I really doubt that these are actually licensed, but I also doubt that anyone really cares.

Indivisual Clothing

June 11th, 2008 by Matt

Individual? No, Visual? No. Put them together though, and you have Indivisual. Very clever.

INDV as I call them for short, is a new clothing company on the scene with some truly unique designs. You won’t find any text based, played out shirts here. What you will find is some quality printed, well designed garments.

The t-shirt that they sent us is “Mustache Riders”, which at first sounds cheesy, but check out the print:


Price: $26

The second piece they sent is something I’ve NEVER seen done, in all my viewing sites, reviewing, etc.

It’s a polo style shirt, that’s half button up. The shirt is called “Cubicle”.

Front:

Back:

Price: $58!

Ok so it’s a bit expensive, but if this shirt is something that you can pull off, spend the money, it will be worth it. The yellow pocket seems to of been “sewn on” after the fact. The printing is outstanding, but i have no idea what the designs are.

With a motto of the site being “Wear art not ads” this shines through with INDV. Check them out and find something worthy of your torso.

302 Designs

June 10th, 2008 by Matt

302 Designs is a favorite company of mine due to the company management. I enjoy a company that gives back any profits to a charity and they donate 7% to causes. This shirt really captured me when I first saw it because I enjoy relaxing on the beach. This tshirt captures that without being to fruitful and black is a versatile color for a piece of clothing. It’s kind of hard to make out the design on this one, but that’s one of the best things about the shirt.

Price: $25.00

This other shirt that I like from them has a bit more flare to it… literally.

The colors go together so well. The shirt talks about getting burned, fire, etc.
Price: $33

You Are So Famous

June 9th, 2008 by Matt

You Are So Famous is a tshirt company creating designs based on pop culture headline news. They do a decent job with the humor in the shirt. They also use high quality cotton, most shirts are 100% Pima Cotton.

The only problems I have with them is 1. Text shirts are not in style any more. They were like 3-4 years ago. 2. They only have a handful of designs, I think three or four in total.

Open Ocean Surf

June 8th, 2008 by Chris Hernden

From The Ryde, Open Ocean Surf comes in a variety of colors, my favorite is the blue. Its a simple shirt design yet has that surfer mentality to it. As always The Ryde kept up the quality with this shirt. Its comfortable material and has a good cut for a not to baggy feel.

Sunspel

June 4th, 2008 by Chris Hernden

Sunspel is a England based company that creates tshirts to underwear. They base all designs on the finest comfort for cotton. I ordered their blue polo after seeing Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. It is one of my favorite polos to wear. There are few pieces of clothing that can actually change one’s mood, however Sunspel clothing line seems to do just that. It’s without a doubt my most comfortable polo, over companies like Armani and Brooks Brothers.
