Since 1989, the Obey street art campaign has become an important urban phenomenon, subconsciously touching those well aware of their environment.

Through the vision of Shepard Fairey, Obey has evolved into one of the most controversial yet influential symbols of the 21st century. Derived from a pop-culture athlete in the eighties, the Obey icon has been bombed in developed and rural cities around the world. Its ambiguous idea immediately sparks philosophical discussion and ultimately motivates the inner-person through active participation.

With the help of Mike Ternosky and Erin Wignall, Obey Clothing continues to spread Shepard’s message through sportswear fashion and one-of-a-kind accessories. Each piece designed is cleverly thought out, attracting all genres and ages, reminding them of the days when “style” was a one syllable word. Obey Tees, sweats, vintage track jackets, belts, wallets and military inspired jackets and caps are examples of what we are known for.

Threadless is without a doubt one of the most well-known t-shirt brands today. It began in late 2000 by the two Jakes, Jake Nickell and Jacob DaHart after Jake Nickell won a t-shirt competition in London. What started out as a hobby has now become a massive success.

The way threadless works is that users submit their designs and other users can vote for them. The best designs then get the chance to be printed. The creator of the chosen design gets a cash prize along with a gift certificate so they can buy some of their own shirts. The designer’s name will also be mentioned on the site giving him/her proper credit.

They have a massive selection of tees on their site that are new, on sale and reprinted. Reprints are those shirts that get enough votes to get reprinted. However, only a few of tees are printed each time which makes them more exclusive.

Aside from the catalog, visitors can browse the t-shirts by size. From small to double-XL, visitors can find the design they like in a size that fits them. The categories are also divided among the kinds of tees. From guys shirts to hoodies and so on.

Tcritic isn’t just another blog that talks about t-shirts until the topic goes stale. A twist to this blog that keeps it from becoming just another blog on the internet is its twisted sense of humor. A lot of the t-shirts featured there are so funny that visitors can’t help but want to get their hands on them.

Another example of the blog’s sense of humor is its page called Tshirt War. Everytime somebody visits its main page, two user submitted designs are randomly displayed. Visitors of the website can then vote which of the two they like most. Votes are continually compiled and tallied. The shirts with most wins are displayed on the ‘Winningest’
page while those with most losses go to the so-called ‘Losingest’
page. Statistics are displayed below the image of each shirt, including the total votes, number of wins and losses as well as its winning percentage.

Each blog entry is placed in its appropriate category. So if for example a visitor is more interested in finding reviews by category instead of the date it was posted, then it can make a particular kind of shirt easier to find. Categories range from the seemingly normal like the ‘Videogame T-shirts’ category to the ‘Best T-Shirt Ever.’
There is also a category called ‘Should be a T’ which highlights non-t-shirt designs that the author thinks should also be printed on t-shirts.

The blog is maintained by San Francisco based blogger Karl Long.
Needless to say, it’s his sense of humor that’s flooding the pages of the entire site. He even sometimes poses for a picture while wearing a t-shirt submitted to him.

All in all, the site successfully packs humor and great t-shirts in one. Not bad something that is supposed to be just a hobby. Check it at www.tcritic.com.

If you’re looking for great clothing, look no further than the fashion capital of the world, Paris, France. And if you’re looking for great t-shirts from this side of Europe, Dadawan is the brand to remember.

Dadawan is a Paris-based brand that was founded by four friends: David, Christophe, Herve and Paul. Its creation took half a year of brainstorming, exchanges of drafts and proposals among the four founders until it was finally created on March 2004, with David at the helm.

The brand sells a variety of products and is available to customers worldwide. From t-shirts, to trucker caps, to sneakers and stickers, Dadawan has tons load of them.

Although they have a store in Paris, that doesn’t mean that people from other countries won’t be able to avail of their products. They can do so through their online shop. The great thing about the shop is that they can choose from several modes of payment: by credit card, bank transfer and of course, PayPal. Having several payment options always means a good thing for online shoppers.

In addition to the varied modes of payment, another great thing about Dadawan’s online shop is that worldwide deliveries only take as quick as 3 days to a reasonable 2 weeks, depending on the destination. However, if a customer doesn’t like what he/she received, he/she can always ask for a replacement or a reimbursement. Talk about quality service!

Dadawan also has a t-shirt design contest wherein designers submit their works to the site and visitors can then vote which design they like best. The winning entry gets printed and the winning designer gets $170 for the first series of 50 pieces and $60 for each succeeding set, according to their website.

Compared to most streetwear brands 10.Deep is a dinosaur. The company was founded in 1995 as a design firm and creative collective that creates the 10.Deep Clothing line as one of their main outputs.

THE APPAREL LINE
10.Deep is one of the original New York streetwear brands. Through bold graphics and quality design, we create apparel that intelligently conjures thoughts of movements, individuals, and ideologies of days past and present. We seek to produce goods that neither sacrifice quality nor style. At 10.Deep our motto is simple: forget everyone and listen to yourself. Strength lies in the hands of an individual (10 fingers), not in the approval of one’s peers.

Orisue is a streetwear brand that produces fresh and innovative designs. Whoever thinks all over patterns are played should check out what Orisue does with them and like with so many other designs they always find a way to give a good design a twist to make it great. This philosophy is also reflected in their mission statement.

The Mission:
When we look at a piece of paper, it is plain, simple, and without dimensions. But when folded into an ORISUE or better known as origami, it becomes a medium of art and craftsmanship. In retrospect, a piece of fabric when cut and sewn together becomes its own stitch.

You can fold a simple quadrilateral paper into any shape. We wish to fold the laws of nature, the dignity of life, and the expression of affection into our clothes. ORISUE’s appeal lies within its simplicity. Simple rules and a basic set of folding maneuvers which lies in precision and discipline.

Like an ORISUE or a piece of fabric, you are given this life; do something with it, decorate it, and make it your lifestyle.

2k by Gingham originated from Japan in the early 90s when many museum and popular art design t-shirts, began to be displayed in fashion boutiques in Japan. 2K started to research such kind of shirts and began to work with new artists to develop their own style.

The design is based on searching for the latest designs, graphics, and logos from all over the world and using this as a foundation for their own line. Besides that several artists collaborate on designs with 2k. Rather than relying on mass marketing 2k sticks to the core of what they are doing and focuses on creating extraordinary artwork on high quality shirts.
