Monstar clothing has really cool designs there are urban and artsy but hip and upbeat. Very cool use of bright colors.

They have cool characters and they just aren’t one of those clothing companies that use there name in different fonts and call it a design. They actually do art.

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. Learn more everything about Dadawan by visiting their website at www.dadawan.com.

our motivation to launch born-clothing 2003 in cologne/germany was
after an odyssee for getting quality-shirts with fresh prints and fair
prices.

so we just decided to do those artworks by ourselves … after this decision there was a great resonance by our brotherhood/friends which is now extended to shops and design-agencies. there are also collabos with pixelkrieger from cologne and the first international collabo with retreat-brand from england. we are also start the band-support for the rockers of “nineteen reasons” from nuernberg/germany.

the question is what it’s all about? it’s about independence, personality and freedom expressed by the different styles in our collection. our style manifests itself in the expressions of personality. at the moment we are working on our online-shop. so if you like to order get in touch with us via email …

are there any plans for the future?
makin’ money! no, without kiddin’: satisfied faces on both sides and
hopefully further more great design-collabos with interesting people.

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.

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.

DURKL is a clothing label that feeds off of absurdity. Our clothing demands attention and keeps you flashy. Inspired by former hilarious trends, 7th grade dances, and the future according to Weird Science, DURKL keeps streetwear honest. Our label thrives on decadence, fun…and because my mom is an aerobics instructor.

There are streetwear brands that take themselves way too seriously, and then there is DURKL. DURKL loves bright colors, rare animal skins, big league chew, and dinosaurs. I actually dealt B.L.C when I was in 2nd grade. (Grape and original only though).

We spiked so much damn punch and ran out of rules to break, so we went and found the 4th dimension: DURKL.

DURKL is the 4th dimension.

Come join us.

Preshrunk is a t-shirt blog written by Jason Cosper. It is updated on a regular basis and has been online since December 2004. Each post contains a short review of the featured product along with an image of it.

A great feature on the site is that at the end of each post the price of the product, the mode of payment, a link to the brand’s website, and the available sizes of the shirt are listed. It’s a great time-saver and definitely makes life easier for those who are on a shopping spree.

The design is clean and simple and without the unnecessary bells and whistles other bloggers choose to put on their sites.

Aside from the features Jason Cosper’s way of writing rocks. He writes in an in-your-face and irreverent manner that makes reading his reviews a joy.

So, if you’re looking for a t-shirt site that’s filled with fresh writing and reviews of nothing else but t-shirts, then visit Preshrunk.
