The T-Shirt Blog

It’s about time I gave a mention to DesignByHumans. They’ve grown tremendously since I first started blogging, and they are having a post-Christmas clearance. Don’t expect anything earth-shattering in terms of savings, or any monkey business for that matter.

It might be over by the time you read this, but Threadless is having a 09/09/09 sale, and all tees are only 9 simoleons. I’m getting this one.

So while the Threadless back 2 school sale is going on, BustedTees is quietly selling some of it’s shirts for only $8. Get ‘em while they’re hot.

I want to give away a Threadless gift certificate in the next week, and all you have to do to enter is sign up for my e-mail list between now and Sunday, April 12th, at which point I will randomly pick out a winner. You can usubscribe from the list at any time. Good luck!

The Passion 4 Christ Movement website is distributing a collection of t-shirts aimed at kicking bad habits with slogans such as Ex-Masturbator, Ex-Homosexual, and Ex-Hypcorite. Other sin-denoucing tees are Ex-Diva, Ex-Slave, Ex-Fornicator, Ex-Atheist, Ex-Porn Addict, Ex-Narcissist, and Ex-Huster. One sin anyone at PC4M couldn’t possibly be accused of is Greed — the shirts are only $10 each. Suck it, TenBills! No word of any combo discount for anyone who needs the whole collection.

This literally just in - Threadless is having their Spring Sale, and this unreliable t-shirt blogger is reporting it to you first. So shed your winter coat, and use up all your streetteam points at Threadless, TypeTees and ThreadlessKids, where sale tees are starting at just $5.

I promised to blog about more cheap t-shirts, and in the spirit of Moses, I deliver them to you. These tees are from the sale section of Vintage Vantage, a shop that takes an often snarky approach to retro styled t-shirts.  I found quite a few of them worthy of a mention, not the least of which being one clairvoyant tee with “I’M RIGHT BEHIND YOU” written on it’s back.

In case you’re interested in anything, be sure to click through to toggle between the male/female versions of each shirt.

As usual, I encourage you to voice your opinion by leaving a comment at the end of the post (no registration needed), and definitely subscribe to my blog to receive notifications of any future t-shirt findings.

Five… five…. five six dollar tee shirts!!

I never thought I’d see a site selling t-shirts for just $6. Sure, there are closeouts and limited time sales that come close, but I always thought that 10 bucks was the holy grail of regularly priced tees. Until 6dollarshirts, that is.

I’m also taking this opportunity to renew my focus on finding t-shirts that are not only desireable, but are also affordable. So stay tuned for more recession-proof t-shirts and don’t forget to subscribe.

I don’t think that Myke from NerdyShirts is quite proud that some of his shirts are now selling themselves for 5 bucks, but with the economy as bad as it is, and the winter as cold it is, there is not much he can do about it. Also, NerdyShirts.com will be launching a new site within days, so I’d snatch up some of these shirts before the sale is gone, especially Whatchutalkinbout.

Don’t look now, but Threadless is having a post-sale liquidation where a few older tees are only $5 bux each.  Actually DO look now, since a lot of sizes will be out of stock by tomorrow.

The geeks shall inherit the earth.. if only because of the extra lives.  Get this shirt on sale from Threadless for only $9.  Sale ends today (sorry, I would have blogged it sooner but I was too busy playing Homm V).

I normally wouldn’t consider $15 for a t-shirt to be a particular bargain, but in the case of Busted Tees’ current sale, it’s a nice discount from the regular $17.99. The sale lasts through Monday the 28th.

The bastion of newsworthyness that is the Gawker blog network used to run a small spinoff t-shirt site with a few slogan tees that I liked. Unfortunately they are in the middle of closing up shop, which I hope this isn’t because they’ve lost their joie de vivre for t-shirts, or that the rigors of running a business have become too much. After all, that wouldn’t be very encouraging news for those of us just starting out. The upside is that you can now own any of the Gawker tees still in stock for just $9.99.

The Threadless Winter sale has been extended through the end of today.  Clearly, there is no time to waste on a long winded post, but there are a lot of good shirts still available.  Many old designs have been reprinted, but unfortunately a lot of them are sold out especially in guys sizes (Nice Boobies notwithstanding).

Also I wanna give a small token of appreciation to one of my my faithfull readers - a $25 Threadless giftcard you can hopefully use to snatch up a couple of shirts before the sale is over.  Just reply to this post before 5 pm today and I’ll randomly select a winner and email  the gift card to the email address listed in the winning comment.

Here are some in-stock tees worth buying, sale or not:

I’ve been wanting to do a special section about t-shirts sales and bargains, and with the holiday shopping season in full swing it’s about time.  There are a couple of sales going on right now, and as the competition between t-shirt merchants increases I don’t think that’s about to change.   So stay tuned for more deals on worthwhile tees, and if you’ve have a tip for me, by all means send it in or leave a comment.

To start things off we have Burnswell, a two year old online store with 25 original designs you won’t find anywhere else.  Everything is at a discounted $12 and shipping is around $5, depending on how many shirts you order. Enter coupon code BRNS_TSB for another 10% discount.

Twelve hours pretty much equates to a blink of an eye in internet time, but if you happen to be reading this between noon and midnight on Friday the 17th (don’t ask me about timezones), and you happen to be in the mood to do some online shopping, then make an http connection to Bustedtees.com for a surprise sale where every tee is only $12. Get three tees, and shipping is free to make this a truly slick deal.

Don’t forget to check out my BustedTees review for some inspiration.

Wow… time sure goes by fast, and the 30 day sale at Threadless is coming to an end. The sale’s apparently been extended till 11 AM this Thursday, so that means you and I (and anyone else who might want to buy some shirts) have approximately 1.5 days to get our $^!# together and wade through Threadless‘ catalog of brand new , newly reprinted and older tees, as well as newly offered long sleeved shirts and hoodies.

For those of you who aren’t entirely familiar with Threadless or their famous sales, they are basically one of the most popular and best known t-shirt retailers around. They hold on-going t-shirt design competitions and have a constant stream of new quality designs. Their shirts do well enough at a regular price of $15-17, but once or twice (or thrice) a year they hold a $10 sale, and not just to sell off inventory either - they continue printing and reprinting tees throughout the sale. With that said, on to my picks:

It’s winter time in the Northern Hemisphere, and I’m definitely partial to designs that come in a hoodie and/or longsleeve version in addition to the classic tee. This design oozes 80’s retro, and looks good on a cozy and warm looking sweatshirt.

I *heart* t-shirts with stuff printed in non-standard places. In this case it’s simplistic autumn leaves looking particularly good on an off sheer girls’ long sleeve, or a regular’s guy’s long sleeve tee.

To me Threadless is all about designs like this one, slightly off the beaten path, with a fine arts sensitibility, and an element of irony.

This one actually made me smile and go ‘aww’, in a non-verbal sort of way (since I don’t talk to myself outloud). I am also beginning to suspect that a lot of Threadless‘ design submissions are recycled art school homework. This illustration would definitely get an an A+ from me.

Not sure what more can be said about this terrific design, but here are some more T’s worth mentioning:

(more…)

I just got an email from Threadless announcing a sneaky little two day sale - almost everything is $10 until Wednesday morning.

Holy cow, we’re having a quick 2 day $10 sale before the sale to get your blood pumping. If you like to get an early start on the holidays, start your gift buying now!

This includes a lot of the new releases I wrote about recently, as well as the older favorites. Some t-shirts have been reprinted and overall it seems like there is a bunch of shirts I haven’t really seen before. Here is some [affordable] eye candy:

Sure, for most of us it’s about style and uniqueness, but there is no reason why the internet shouldn’t serve as your personal discount bin of cheap t-shirts. OctopusInk has their colorful logo tee on sale for only $6 ($3.50 shipping).

One of the best places to find consistently cheap t-shirts is eBay - most of the auctions end below $10. If you are looking for high fashion at a reasonable price, Threadless has random sales several times a year, which is how I got my “Flowers In The Attic” for only $10. Cafepress also has some unique designs if you really dig around, and you can snag a $5 off $20 coupon at CPCoupon.com.
