T-SHIRTS T-SHIRTS T-SHIRTS! Funny T-shirts, user-designed-and-voted T-shirts, artistic T-shirts, geek T-shirts, just cool T-shirts, hacker T-shirts, more artistic T-shirts and even offensive T-shirts (NSFW). Like comics? web comic T-shirts. Still not right? make your own T-shirts. Or maybe you'd just like to read about t-shirts.

I was beginning to think there was no place I could find a t-shirt.

I believe I would eat some of those gamer shirts before I wore them.

I think that it looks like some of the people wearing them did exactly that.

OK, this is a blatant "self-post", but please believe that my intentions are purely those of wanting to "share the love"...

I'm an admitted t-shirt FREAK, so I really appreciate this post, and can totally get behind its motivation.

That said, I've built a bit of a collection of t-shirt related links on del.icio.us, and invite y'all to feel free to poke around in there...

T-shirt (158 links)/ T-shirts (338 links)

It's a pretty funky "grab bag", but if one MeFi user finds something usefull or interesting, I'll feel like I've done my job.

Cheers, and enjoy!

Spreadshirt is also a really good make-your-own-shirt site. Very interesting interface, and almost anything is customizable.

That said, the folks over at Panic Software have cool shirts, too.

Do any of these sites have v-neck tees? I haven't found them.

For all yous liberals - Dangerous Breed has some of the sweetest ass shirts you've ever seen. No need to thank me. Just send me a basket of fruit or something.

Squarewolf has some unusual ones. I'm quite fond of my 'irritated panda' shirt.

I get my T-Shirts free from Uline when I order bubble mailers. I'm working my way through the Major League baseball line (they are not always the officals t-shirts, but weird off licenses) with the goal of having all of them except the loathesome yankees, the arch-enemy Braves and possibly the Red Sox just so I don't get killed by some neck breathing Yankee shitbird in a bar. I've been distacted from my goal on my last order when I found out I could get a Lynyrd Skynyrd shirt patterned off the Jim Beam bottle. So of course I'm wearing that today. I refuse to pay for t-shirts, except ones with pictures of Redd Foxx on them.

Not to mention t-shitty, for hypothetical offensive shirts.

Yay, Threadless rocks! I just started contributing today. Hopefully this thread will continue to offer more great links of shirt designers.

like iso50, Ubiquity, Anonymous, Imaginary Foundation, Beautiful Decay, and Heavy Tees.

num, i'm gonna be searching through your links for weeks to come... thanks!

I'm a big fan of the designs of the Imaginary Foundation. Thanks for the great links!

I shamelessly self promotional self linking acceptable if it's on topic? I hope so, because here comes my link:

I run Amorphia Apparel, and I really got off the ground with support from the MetaFilter community.

Thanks MeFi!

He he, yeah that first sentence was supposed to be "Is shamelessly...".

Oh well, I regret nothing.
posted by Jezztek at 11:06 AM on September 22, 2006

Sorry George_Spiggott, I wasn't trying to make this into a sudo-advertising post. I was more interested in trying to show what an enormous sub-culture internet t-shirt stores and sites have become.

It's cool that everyone is posting their favourites though, there are some really awesome ones out there.

I LOVE T-Shirt Hell, and have a half dozen of their shirts... the more offensive the better... within reason, I suppose, cuz some of em even make ME blush!

I come here to get away from work during my lunch hour (I own a T-shirt screen-printing company) and what do I see? T-SHIRTS! Auughh!

Seriously, that's a good collection of links. It'll probably come in handy. Many bookmarks were made.

I’m unclear as to the premise of this post. What is it, some kind of anti-Bush thing? Golf? Please try to give readers a better idea of what to expect next time you post.

I can say with certainty that the oddica guys are good blokes, who include buttons and postcards with every order. They have amazing prints - super hi-q.

Jezztek, I found Amorphous Apparel via metafilter a while back and got two t-shirts off the site. Lots of compliments have been received and I love 'em to bits. Even though my 'I regret nothing' t-shirt has what looks like a random comma between 'I' and 'regret'. *shakes fist*
posted by slimepuppy at 5:35 AM on September 23, 2006

Ugh, random comma? Any chance you wouldn't mind taking the effort to send me a picture/scan of the flaw, so I could check it out with the printers?

My email is Jeremy (at) jeremykalgreen (dot) com

But other then that, thanks for the kind words, always flattering to hear they are compliment worthy.
posted by Jezztek at 12:14 PM on September 23, 2006

Sure thing, I'll do that when/if I ever get back home from work.
