David Lee Nagel is a new t-shirt from the amazingly named Art in the age of Mechanical reproduction and is part of their spring/summer 2008 collection which you can see here. I should have one of these in the mail so i’ll update this when I get it with some close-ups etc.

I wonder if Helvetica is one of the most T-Shirted fonts ever? I love these new ones I found at Collapse Design, Helveticat tickled me immediatly, but Sex, Drugs, Helvetica, Bold is a brilliantly witty construction as well.
Glad to say I discovered these through the Facebook “t-shirt appreciation society” where Matt turned us all [...]
I just got an email from the guys at To Die For Clothing and I’ve got to say I kind of like there stuff. There designs are inspired by graffiti, tattoos, and other art, and the results are pretty cool. I generally don’t like design companies where they use there names in a lot of [...]
As an Englishman who has resided in the US for over a decade I can assure that in the 200+ years since Americans dumped tea in the cold salty water of Boston Harbor they have not improved their tea making skills very much at all. Needless to say when I found a “how to make [...]
Some more new friends from Threadshow, Red Star Industries. Their stuff immediately caught my eye, it’s hard to describe, a sort of post apocalyptic urban chic I posted a couple of my favs including the Gas Mask Man Tee, the Roses and Skulls polo shirt and the Ex Band Geek tee. They also do [...]
FiftySeven-ThirtyThree is another of my new friends I met at Threadshow, they are an indie label out of Oakland, CA, just across the bay, and they sell all their stuff through Etsy. The design they are holding above is a hand stenciled and airbrushed design of Johnny Rotten on a Union Flag (only the [...]
Owl Movement Season 6 is out
24Sep07More unique and creative designs out of the strangely named Owl Movement. Screen printed on lightweight American Apparel poly cotton blends.
Design Will Save The World is a sensibility that I can dig, I think design could save the world, but only if designers focus on what is important. As Victor Papanek said in his ground breaking book “design for the real world” (published in the ’70s):
There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only [...]
New T-Shirts From ISO50
08Sep07ISO50 just released 15 new t-shirts, I particularly liked the Workers t-shirt, very cool design, very soviet propoganda-esque. The Science of Patterns T-Shirt is also a very interesting design, very simple but I there is something I really like about it.
Mishka NYC has just created a line of limited edition t-shirts they are selling through their web site. Some pretty cool designs and if you poke around there site you can find other categories of t-shirts like the “cold war collection” that are empty, so maybe they are working on some more.
If there are two t-shirts that are icons of the threadless canon they are Flowers in the Attic and The Communist Party. You may not be the only person wearing them at this point but these are no longer shirts you wear to be unique, they are shirts you wear to be part of a [...]
Robot Attack
Well it’s been a month or so since we talked about Design By Humans and their plans for T-shirt domination, and today they just announced their first $5000 winner. It’s actually a collaboration of about 20 artists, each one drawing their own robot and then putting it together as one design. The irony that [...]
Caliroots the company that provides a “Californian Twist To Lifestyle and Culture”, based of course in Sweden, is celebrating their 3rd anniversary with some exclusive t-shirts designed some of their artist and designer friends like Slacker Delight, Martin Kellerman, and others.

This is a fabulous T-shirt and the photo works brilliantly as well. The picture is of Khol Vinh who writes the excellent blog, Subtraction. My other favorite shirt for type-nerds is actually a hoodie with “kern” written on it, bisected of course by the zip which is why it had to be a hoodie.
