Seibei must be one of the most famous “underground” t-shirt labels out there, everyone who loves tees knows who they are, their dinosaur character being a cult figure for thousands around the world, but as the saying goes you can’t have too much publicity, and seeing as they have a whole heap of treats on offer right now, we couldn’t resist giving this fun and funky brand a big shout out! First off, David Murray, the guy/guru/madman/genius behind Seibei has kindly offered up a discount code for all you lucky readers, get a whopping 10% off any of their products by entering BUYTEES at the checkout!

If you want more? (Yes more more!) We’ve just been tipped off about their latest contest where you can win a very generous $200 CASH just for re-tweeting the following:-

So, for those not in the know here’s what to expect from Seibei, their name is based upon a character from a story by Naoya Shiga, David is sick of explaining the reasoning behind it by now as he’s been asked 100s of times, but if you really want the full low-down there’s an excellent interview at T-shirt Magazine that’s well worth checking out. They produce a lot of monster tees, not your usual ghoulish sort with blood dripping from their mouths and gore splattered backgrounds, but rather innocent and colourful ones that scream kitsch and collectible. I can imagine a lot of Seibei’s customers buying one design after another, it’s a case of ‘if you’re into them, your addicted’. They have a fine collection of iconic tees all designed by David Murray, who if you haven’t had a chance, do read his about page as there is a hilarious retort aimed at his former Japanese teacher, Professor Meera Viswanathan of Brown University. All the t-shirts are expertly printed by American Icon, which as it happens are David’s former employers, so you can be assured if anyone knows how to design for print it’s this guy.

Seibei have recently taken a very interesting direction, having formed the Intramural Zombie Hunting League, hence the Twitter promotion, you can see the t-shirt celebrating the fact here. Unfortunately international hunters won’t be able to order in time for Halloween, but if you’re in the USA you’re in luck, just get your order in by October 19th and you should be safe… phew. However they’re available all year round all the same. These are personally customised too with an optional sleeve crest and personal name and number for the back, great fun I have to admit.

Whilst you’re at Seibei do make sure you visit the blog, it’s funny, informative, and it offers far more than merely info on the brand and their latest exploits, right now they’ve posted a feature on an excellent new t-shirt book ‘Tees: The Art of the T-Shirt‘ by MAKI Design which honestly looks superb and you guessed it, Seibei are included, as are plenty of other great brands on the scene. Plus of course you can keep up with all of Seibei’s latest exploits at Twitter, and remember to retweet their message! Right, let’s take a look at what makes Seibei’s tees so cool:- read more
