Frakking Puppets Tee
Here’s a new one from 604Republic called…
Frakking Puppets Tee
I used to love The Muppet Show as a kid, however Sesame Street sucks, I know they mean well, but kids, don’t play in the street with a man in a giant bird suit! The Frakking Puppets Tee features two old gits (Statler and Waldorf) who never seemed to enjoy themselves. I wish 604 had made a punch bag of these two, still one of their shirts and a big gut might suffice. Everyone’s a critic hah. Get this funny tee for $19.95 in sizes XS-XL.
More Geek Chic at 604Republic
604Republic seem to be running on all pistons right now, they’re knocking out more and more high quality design and are starting to gain some serious clout in the market. Here are their latest tee releases, the first features a gamer’s closet, as opposed to the more usual closet gamer, and the second features none other than those little blue imps that doubled an oil company’s profits whilst subconsciously inferring that only female character Smurfette …is a tramp. Yes you guessed it, those vile blue cretins The Smurfs. I used to collect them as a kid, I think I ended up executing them all very slowly with a large magnifying glass on a particularly hot Summer’s day. Ahh for the memories.
Gamer’s Closet Tee
This one’s available in both blue and silver, everything you need to battle virtual foes and frenemies is included in the price :p Get this tee for $19.95 in sizes S-XL.
Blue Horde Tee
Love it, anything to get my mind off the likelihood that the old skank Smurfette must have been servicing the whole village for over 30 years by now. I’m a big fan of all things zombie related, if you haven’t seen the latest contribution to the genre, check out The Horde (it’s in French – but it’s worth straining with subtitles for pure cinematic zombie mayhem). Anyway back to the t-shirt, it’s awesome, dead Smurfs on toast for me please. Get this tee for $19.95 in sizes S-XL.

New Tees @ 604Republic
There are 7 new tees for the guys (sorry ladies) at 604Republic, here are my two faves, absolutely super stuff…
Stoned in Wonderland Tee
Amazing stuff, I love the style, content, perfect for stoners, trippers and loons young and old lol. This should really be available for girls too, share the love :p
Zipperstein
Hey why sew when you can zip? Another great illustrated tee!
Both are available in all sizes at $18.95 each and are printed on American Apparel. These are easily the best of the new crop, although it’s worth checking all their latest tees – plenty more surprises if you haven’t been to www.604Republic.com in a while…
New Tees @ 604Republic
Check out the new tees now available at 604Republic, if you’re not familiar with the label you can read our review here. They’ve really covered all the bases this time with something for everyone, Star Wars, dinosaurs, Mario Bros., a zombie version of Sesame Street and more. Get ‘em all at $18.95 each for guys (sorry girls you’ll have to go butch this season) in sizes S-XXXL.
Trap Tee
OMG I love it, yes it’s another Fairey clone, but what a superb choice for a subject. The highly obscure one-liner in Return of the Jedi (that’s a proper Star Wars movie), when Admiral Ackbar yells out “It’s a trap!”. He’s my 2nd fave character after the rather mysterious and moody Bobba Fett. Ackbar has a real cult following, asides being featured in everything from Family Guy to Robot Chicken, as of March 2010, students at the University of Mississippi continue a push to elect Admiral Ackbar as their next on-field team mascot. Great stuff, and strangely quasi-political in it’s own unique way.
This should be the teaser for the movie, Zombies on Sesame Street. Awesome.
Retired Plumber Tee
So long Mario, it’s about time.
Epic Duel Tee
Bloody hilarious, it’s not just fighting that the T-Rex found tricky :p
There are more tees and hoodies over at www.604Republic.com.

Queen of Hearts Tee

604Republic
Here’s another new label for you 604Republic. Strictly speaking they’re more into hoodies than tees, but seeing as their tees are awesome I’m going to feature them anyway. Their designs are primarily sourced from indie designers and they really do have some great t-shirts on offer already. It’s no surprise when you realise that the guy behind 604Republic’s is Sebastian Arciszewski, the former founder and CEO of the über cool SplitReason.com, although this new venture will be tapping a very different market, leaving the funny t-shirt market behind and diving headlong into highly illustrated hoodies/ shirts, which is proverbial music to my ears.
With a slick site up ‘n’ running from the word go, a great choice of high quality products, printing and graphic design I’d bet my bottom Dollar (if I had one) that 604Republic will be an indie streetwear brand to reckon with over the coming months. All the tees are $19.95 each and come in men’s and women’s cuts, sizes range from S-XXL for the guys and S-XL for the girls, (there’s even a cool gauge/meter at each product page to tell just how many of each size are left!) Their quality hoodies are on offer for $66.04 each and are also incredibly high quality with flat laces, a hidden cell phone pocket and a 3 panel hood. What’s more Sebastian has kindly offered up a generous permanent discount for all Buy Tees readers of 15% on any of their products! Simply enter BUYTEES2010 at the checkout and save save save!
Here are some hand-picked tees from the 604Republic Collection for ya:
MechaHeart Tee
A steampunk treat for you here, I usually prefer full front panel printed tees but considering the nature of the design the placement offers up a perfect blend of concept meets print. Essentially slap bang over the heart. What’s more the old-fashioned etched style of the illustration really brings out the detail, it’s something that a lot of 2d steampunk artists forget nowadays, steampunk has to be done by hand, it’s the only way it can look authentically “aged” enough to be believable. Even if steampunk is just a fantasy :p
Jeeves3000 Tee
Another superb rendition, again in a rather gloriously antiquated style, with a very nice use of half-tones in the final print, this humorous design has plenty to keep your eyes occupied (or rather everyone you bump into when you’re wearing it). I love the goldfish bowl/brain detail, I’m not quite sure if the fish are controlling Jeeves3000, but if they are I’m sure it has a very short memory ;) What’s more the heart of this splendid robot is powered by a hamster wheel which is a great use of green technology – lol.
Snailpocalypse Tee
I have to admit that this design does tug at the old heartstrings for me, beautifully drawn and highly reminiscent of many record covers I slavered over in second hand vinyl stores as a kid. If the artist for this tee ever decides to create a feature-length trip movie, I’d love to see it. The colour scheme is perfect, I think the humble mushroom could do with the same treatment as the snail, just in case 604Republic ever want to continue the tale of these two characters and their crazy ride home, a shroom with a view would top it off for me ;) Only for the guys this time – sorry girls…
Here are some links to their current artists if you’d like to find out more about them:
