The other day I wrote about the classics sale at Threadless and this is one of my favorites that’s featured this week. Artistic? not really. Clever? most definitely. It’s a nice change of pace really with most of the print on the back too. Though I’m a huge AV and home theater nut, I know someone much better suited for this shirt than me, and I plan to pick it up as a Christmas gift before the sale expires at the end of the week.

AV is normally 18 bucks but you can snag it up for $12 before Friday as part of the classics sale at Threadless.

Check out AV ($12) at Threadless (hurry, sale ends 10/9)

It’s been forever since there’s been a t-shirt link tuesday! Let’s fix that right now. T-Shirt Link Tuesday is all about giving recognition to the other great t-shirt blogs out there and the awesome things that they come across. Check these guys out!

The Big Fifth Eye (Troundup.com)

Colin over at Troundup wrote about this eye-catching (oh man! cheesy pun of the day!) t-shirt from the folks at Resist Today. There’s so much weird in this shirt, you can’t look away. It’s like a train wreck….but a good train wreck. I can’t say that I know what it means or what it’s supposed to say, but that’s alright. The detail is great and the shirt is unique!

Gorilla Cop (Hide Your Arms)

Andy at Hide Your Arms posted this interesting tee from 57Thirtythree the other day. The one color design reminds me a little bit of Toxic from Van Rockn. The placement is unique and it reminds me of Planet of the Apes. Charlton Heston FTW!

Protect The Skin You’re In (Fat Seagull)

What can I say about this…naked women on t-shirts. It’s done fairly tastefully. Well, tastefully in a not cartoon-barbie redneck-trash sort of way, anyways. Prominent celebrities and fashion icons adorn this line of tees, and all proceeds go towards cancer research. The shirt seems to only be available offline from Marc Jacobs stores for $35.

The Struggle (Coty Gonzales)

How cool is this tee?! I really like the powerful message of perseverance. It’s a very iconic design I think. It’s almost like our hero needs to reach the other side of the wall at any cost and without regard for what may await him.

In this episode of Thread Notes I review a couple shirts that Bytelove sent all the way from Europe! Bytelove is packed to the gills with geeky t-shirts, so I tried to hit both ends of the spectrum here: sorta geeky and super geeky! One tee, everyone will get and the other almost nobody will. You can find this video here and on blip.tv. Excuse the video quality issues…I’m still working out all the kinks.

Any comments or feedback are appreciated, I’m sure the format of the show is bound to evolve over time. If you’d like your t-shirt featured in a future episode of Thread Notes, check out my submit a t-shirt page.

In This Episode

Resembles Pacman – Bytelove.com (t-shirt details – photos) – Price: 22 Euros

This tee combines one of the least boring things I can think of (Pacman) and one of the most boring things I can think of (pie charts. mmmm pie…wait, where were we?) It’s also one of the softest and most comfortable t-shirts I’ve tried on in a while. Turkish cotton…I swear!

Create Web Concept – Bytelove.com (t-shirt details – photos) – Price: 22 Euros

I think my inner web-developer smiles every time I see this shirt. I’ve seriously never seen so many buzzwords packed onto one shirt. It’s like Mad Libs, Web 2.0 edition! At least 6,591 new internet startups could result from this tee. 59,049 if you use two tech hype (is that like a triple word score?) like the examples on the shirt. It’s that powerful, check it out!

Edit: Bytelove’s US-based store is open, you can check it out at http://www.bytelove.us.

EndangeredWear really takes the term “limited edition” to the major leagues. Every shirt is a limited run with no reprints. On the back, you’ll see “1 of 100″ or “1 of 300″ or whatever. That’s really sweet, and guarantees that you won’t go out and see anyone else wearing your tee. (I Love Lamp, anyone?)

Scott brought this one to my attention. Seriously, What a kick ass tee. This shirt rocks on too many levels.

Snakes? Check.
Skulls? Check.
Ace of Spades? Check.
Classic retro-ish background? Check.

This is an excellent tee to wear to a concert. I’m not a big fan of the company name on the front, but it’s done pretty tastefully. I think the one on the back, on the limited edition print, definitely belongs though.

There’s a Countdown to Extinction (Bonus points for the Megadeth reference) on each tee, telling you how many are available in each size until they’re gone…forever.

Ace of Spades is $16.99 at EndangeredWear, check ‘em out.

Don at tshirtbordello.com sent me this sweet shirt not too long ago, and Meg tossed it on and started taking photos. I’ve always been a big AC/DC fan, so I got a laugh out of this shirt. Sadly I don’t know the backstory because I don’t watch Entourage, but apparently a character on that HBO show has worn this tee. Either way, it’s a great double-take shirt. The material is soft and the print is top-notch.

Thanks again to tshirtbordello.com for the shirt!

AD/HD is available for $13.99 from tshirtbordello.com.
