Stuff White People Like #13: Tea

[tenuki]

I guess I should say #84 T-Shirts, if for no other reason than that I am proud to have discovered Threadless when it was a new company, before it got popular. (Would this automatically make me fall under #41 Indie music?)

Thanks for reminding me to order some new Ts. I'm so pissed at carhartt for discontinuing the K180 in black. Nobody else on the planet makes a decent basic T. How hard is it really?!? at least 6 oz ring spun 100 cotton, side seam construction, no pocket (it's s @!#!@ tee shirt), double needle, taped shoulders, reinforced neck etc. I mean, wtf, I'd pay 20 bucks for a decent Tshirt, and I can't !@#!@#!@ find one for 50.

After some serious research I finally ordered 6 candidate brands from a wholesaler online, what a crock. The retail crap is just too messed up to bother with. You youngens missed out on seeing what a tshirt was supposed to be like. hahahah.

I do agree with you on the pocket issue, though. Every time designing t-shirts for events comes up, people clamor for a pocket. Sometimes I feel like cutting off a bunch of t-shirt pockets and sewing them all on one t-shirt, just to be a jerk about it, heh.

A lot of bands are printing merch on American Apparel, who is really horrible.

I used to have a screen printing business in college to help pay the bills, so maybe I'm a bit oversensitive to tshirt construction or lack thereof. Still, the fact that I can't find a decent tshirt to save my life is just pathetic.
