Fera Fera – What Could Be Fairer?

admin    T-Shirt Articles     Fera Fera, FeraFera.com, T-Shirts

OK, OK, it’s very very early days for Fera Fera, they have a very limited range of tees on offer, but we’ve had a very friendly email from Shawn who runs the label, and Christina likes at least one of their designs so we think it only fair to give the company a boost and feature what is currently their best t-shirt on offer.

We’d like to feature more of them but in all honesty we think the label needs a little work all round, starting with the site/store/shop – it’s a real plain Jane and it’s crying out for some graphic finesse. That asides there are at least a few t-shirts that need to be abandoned pronto, it’s hard for every designer to get off the ground, but take a look around our blog, you can all see what the competition are up to, and for the main part they are masters of the tee universe. Essentially great fashion design (which is in all honesty what t-shirt design is) relies on two main factors. Concept and Conception. You can’t just have a good idea, you have to deliver it too. That is most likely why at least one of their designs has some appeal. read more

Get Ready For A Shirt Fight!

admin    T-Shirt Reviews     T-Shirt Votes, Threadless, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, shirt fight, shirtfight.com, t-shirt community, t-shirt contest, tee community

Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee, welcome to Shirtfight.com, the latest addition to the ever expanding crowdfunding t-shirt market that brings designers and fans together for an all out battle of graphic prowess, urban style and community spirit.

We received a request recently (sorry have been on the razzle all weekend) for a review from Miss Etti, one of the crazy people at Shirt Fight and couldn’t resist the chance to open up your eyes to this relatively new t-shirt contest site offering weekly themed design competitions aptly named “Shirt Fights”. They’ve already got a few winners under their belt and have plenty more in the running. The site is slick yet friendly and they go out on a limb to make sure their community gets the full lowdown on each of their winning designers.

Check out their interview with Evanimal – their first winner and their hand picked top 10 heavyweights. SF offer a whopping $500 for a winning design so if you have the talent and are out of pocket it’s well worth knocking out a tee and seeing if it lasts the gruelling rounds. There are plenty of ways of keeping up-to-date with all the latest happenings at SF including Twitter, Facebook, RSS and the blog. However as you may have guessed we’re going to focus on the t-shirts, that is why you’re here after all?

A Town of Tees At Iffyton

admin    T-Shirt Reviews     British t-shirts, band tees, funny t shirts, funny tees, iffy, iffyton, virtual shopping, www.iffyton.co.uk

You won’t find Iffyton High Street or Iffydom on Google Maps, don’t bother searching I’ve looked, but what the heck, who needs reality when we’ve got the net? I mean I’m looking out of the window and what do I see? Practically a force nine gale bending the treesas if they were elastic and seagulls careering into each other in a vain attempt to fly. The fact is it’s not always a good day to go out, and when you don’t have to you have a few options, go back to bed, get on with some work, watch the dreaded boob tube, surf (yawn), Twitter with your mates, eat, drink some tea, write a blog post (ahem), okay there’s far more to life than that, but one option I hadn’t considered until now was taking a stroll down Iffyton High Street where every shop is a t-shirt store (well almost bar a few empty shops and a music venue (Iffy Voice), a Newsagents which has all the latest Iffy news, and erm… Betfair, erm which is a gambling site and absolutely nothing to do with anything,

I suppose they’re hard up for cash or love to have a flutter between tees, I couldn’t find a pub either, I wonder what does virtual lager taste like? Probably like two pence pieces (as usual). There’s no sign of a curry house in Iffyton, but I suppose it’s a little early in the day, still it’s great after a few beers. One thing I really like is the Countdown Giveaway where if you catch it at the right time you can win a free tee! Nice! Okay I haven’t seen it working so far, but it’s worth keeping your eyes peeled for that one. There’s also Iffy TV where according to the site their Nan likes to watch her grandson going Radio Rental (I guess that’s cockney slang for “mental”) on TV, right now it comprises of two videos about the site. From what I can gather the site is run by a loony called Uncle Iffy who used to be the frontman for an obscure band called “The Magnificent Seven” who gambled his remaining pennies on Iffy TV whilst his brother Peter Joyce (I’m guessing on the spelling here it’s all from a video) who owns Totally Original T-Shirts (t-shirt printers) called in a favour to help promote his wares and thus they joined forces. So much for the potted history.

The saving grace for Iffyton are their t-shirt stores, some undoubtedly better than others, but I’m sure there are plenty of t-shirt addicts out there who have had dreams similar to www.iffyton.co.uk – tee shirt shop after tee shirt shop as far as the eye can see. Well no, right now there are nine as far as I can tell, but that’s great for starters! Okay let’s take a stroll down Iffyton High Street… read more

Welcome To Your Teeburb

Anthony Marsh aka “Profits” is an old friend of Buy-Tees.net, he’s been there since the beginning providing our t-shirt reviews blog all the way, we’ve in turn followed in gradually expanding t-shirt empire with awe. One of our favourite sites by Anthony is TeeFeeds.com which we are honoured to be featured in its listings is the premi√®re site for t-shirt related news collected from all the best t-shirt blogs on the net. He also runs various t-shirt blogs as well as T-ShirtRater.com – one of the first funny t-shirt rating sites out there. Nevertheless there’s no stopping Profits, he’s always looking for new ways to bring together the t-shirt community and his latest addition to the fold is TeeBurb.com.

If you’ve heard of Twitter (if you haven’t where have you been?) then you’ll be familiar with the format, TeeBurb is an instant micro-blogging community just like Twitter, however its core purpose is to promote communication and inclusivity amongst t-shirt designers, bloggers, labels, and fans alike. We really think Profits has outdone himself this time, the site is laid out simply and effectively, the atmosphere is friendly, and the core concept a definite must-have for the future of the industry. read more

The Tees From Ipanema At Carioca Salt

Cool, sultry, sexy, vibrant, tropically sophisticated, shimmying to a chilled out samba beat on Ipanema Beach, what more could you ask for? I’ve never personally been jealous of a t-shirt before, but if, and this is a big “if”, if I was to be reincarnated and I had to come back as an inanimate object, i’d like it to be as one of Carioca Salt’s smooth and sophisticated tees, especially if its modelled by one of the models (female) in their ever so sexy video featured at their website www.cariocasalt.com.

I have always had a thing for Brazil, if I wasn’t such a workaholic without a bean in the bank I’m sure I’d be heading off there every year, the fact is if you have a significant other and a pot belly in development, you will probably develop something of a complex, people were never designed to be that beautiful, but just about everyone you find strolling, parading, playing or lounging on a beach in Rio looks like they’ve just come off the front cover of a magazine.

Most likely inspired, if not left totally agog by the sights and sounds of Rio, Adam Dunning, a business and legal wizard with a fair bit of experience in the UK media, decided to leave the security of his BBC and tabloid career behind and set out on a fashion adventure. Just one year ago, whilst sitting on the famed and aforementioned Ipanema Beach, Adam Dunning vowed to himself to create his own Brazilian t-shirt brand that would truly represent the life and soul of Rio de Janeiro, otherwise know as the Cariocas. The people of Cariocas live and breathe music, the sun, and have a unique taste for colour, design and fashion, and Adam was determined to capture its essence in his own unique fashion label.

Thus the name Carioca Salt was born on the shores of Rio, whilst walking on the beach at sunset, Adam found the words to capture the Carioca Spirit, the salty sexuality of Rio, and buzzing beach lifestyle. The label was an instant success, by combining uniquely light and airy Brazilian textiles with an array of over-dyed colours of the tropical summer, Carioca Salt’s name spread far and wide.

They ship worldwide and their latest designs are always available at their online store. For us mere mortals who’d like to share a taste of the high life and proverbially dip our toes in to the Brazillian beach fashion scene, Carioca Salt have a fine selection of tees to whet your appetite. So when you’re quite finished flexing your muscles in front of the mirror we’ll peruse the latest offerings from the sunnier side of the beach… read more

You Will Flip For FlipNY!

Okay for starters, www.flipny.com has to be the greatest t-shirt website design I have seen since time began, the homepage has to be one of the most engaging and vibrant I’ve come across so far. Click on the pic to see exactly what I mean! Sure it’s in Flash, I don’t know if it’s me but Flash is always a little slow loading, but the wait is definitely worth it, wow, a totally mad panorama of a New York cityscape from an alternative dimension!

If you want to skip the intro (which personally I think would be a crime) you can go straight to the store at www.shopflipny.com – their extreme graphic talents continue on with a selection of some of the wildest graphic tees available on the net, and I mean wild. Expect an exuberance of vector and bitmap prowess, colours asunder and a unique slice of N.Y culture to take home to wow your friends! read more
