Info

Limbo

Limbo is the latest tee by Meme Engine and a [very] subtle tribute to the film, Inception. The tees are available for $24+…but the shirt pictured is actually $31.99 because of the cut (each ME tee is customizable, so you can select which cut, color, and blend you want).

THE BAD

THE BAD is anything but. The suede leather pocket stitched into the Tshirt is oh so good. You can get it for $33 from St. Liberty.

Made In Chicago

I'm digging this Made In Chicago Tshirt by Loyal Locals. You can choose the cut of the shirt and two print colors! Available for $24 from Formula Werks + Scumbag Nation.

BKLN

The BKLN Tshirt by Brooklyn Industries is another joint that does more than just cover your torso. Printed with reflective ink, it also serves as a safety precaution when worn at night…potentially alerting drivers of your presence when you're on the road (on bike or on foot). It's also a really solid print. Does 'BKLN' stand for 'bike lane' or 'Brooklyn'? I'm thinking both. Available for $40.

Colored Pencils

Colored Pencils is another great Tshirt by No Star Clothing. One of my favorite uses of a test pattern so far. Get it for $24. Note: this post links to a womens tee; it's also available in mens sizes here.

Map of Shanghai

This Map of Shanghai Tshirt will surely come in handy if you ever find yourself lost in Shanghai. It's pretty intense, but I dig it. Available for $42 from Shanghai Quality Yarn.

Feel Good, Do Good


Feel Good, Do Good. It's an interesting perspective on the expression I'm used to hearing, "Do Good, Feel Good." The latter implies a certain self-centeredness…as if feeling good is the ultimate reward. I much prefer this version; words to live by. Buy it for $24 from No Star.

High As Kites

High As Kites by Swan is another one of those tees that hooks me right away. Maybe it's the moon pulling me in. Nice print in a nice colorway. Available for €18.

Big Fun

The Big Fun Tshirt by Found Item Clothing is both a reference and an homage to the film Heathers. Again, if you're a regular reader here on ATshirtBlog (thank you!), you'll no doubt be familiar with FIC; they really know movies. And tees. And awesome. It's a solid tee whether you're a fan of the film or not. Cop it for $21+.

Velo Nuit

The Velo Nuit Tshirt by DARGELOS also serves as reflectors and lets drivers know you're on the road. Another lovely pairing of form and function. Available for $40.

I Shot NY

The I Shot NY Tshirt is actually a logo tee for photographer Julian Goldstein. I love it. It makes for such a great Tshirt. It was designed and made available by a blog favorite, ONLY NY…but I first spotted it over at DIPT NYC. You can purchase it for $28.

Emblematic Problematic

Emblematic Problematic cautions onlookers to look passed perceived value. Don't let others determine what you should want; figure that out for yourself. Too deep? I don't know…that's what I pull from this, anyway. You can get this Rolls-Royce logo-flip for $30 from Beware of the Hype.

I Was Here

I Was Here by Dina Prasetyawan is pretty adorable. If you have this problem when you drink coffee, though, I recommend using a coaster. You can get this for $18 on Threadless.

I Heart RECord

The I Heart RECord Tshirt promotes the creative and collaborative online community, hitRECord.org — a project initiated by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I have an account but (sadly) haven't made much use of it yet. I love the idea behind it, though…as well as this tee by fellow member Marke. If you do, too, then you can grab it for $20.

PRDTetc

PRDTetc by Product Etcetera is technically a logo tee…but I'm comfortable calling it art. It's nice when the two can overlap like this. Available for $28.
