The years top tees according to Please Dress Me http://andrewbowness.com/items/view/1738 T-shirt search directory Please Dress Me have released a really cool set of information about the t-shirt trends for the year. Well, I think it’s really cool, but I would, wouldn’t I? You can see the top three tees of 2008, I’m not sure how that is judged, presumably by the amount of people that have viewed the page after seeing the thumbnails after a search. All three are Threadless tees, but aren’t necessarily the ‘famous’ Threadless designs. The most popular searches of 2008 is the most interesting to me, since it is the most telling for what people are looking for and therefore the most representative of trends. Zombies are apparently de rigeur, as they sit on top of the pile, followed by the boringly generic search of tv show, and I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear that people were on the hunt for Obama tees this year. Anyone care to stick their neck out and make some predictions for hot trends next year?

Where are the best places to buy real vintage t-shirts? http://andrewbowness.com/items/view/1701 I have no idea where you need to go to buy vintage t-shirts, it simply isn’t my area of expertise, and I wouldn’t want to tell you to go to ‘noreallythesearevintageteeswehaven’tprintedoffsomeiron-onsandstuckthemontoburnouttees.com’ when I woudn’t be able to guarantee the authenticity of the tees or whether you were getting ripped off. Luckily for me, and even more luckily for you, the Defunkd crew are very experienced with vintage tees, seeing as they used to sell them, and now blog about them. They’ve written up a guide of 20 great places to buy genuine vintage t-shirts on eBay which you’ll probably want to check out if you’re in to mood for buying old clothes.

24 Great Black Friday deals [Coupon Codes, coupon codes, and more coupon codes] http://andrewbowness.com/items/view/1428 [Just a little something to calm you down on this crazy shopping day] I think that pretty much every e-mail I’ve received for the past few days has involved some kind of coupon or deal or percentage, and I’ve tried to cover each one in a post, but there’s just too many, so here’s a bumper sized post that has a looooad (15, to be precise) of deals in it.

  1. Mimoco ——————————-

  2. 50% off at Digital Gravel until Monday. ——————————-

  3. 40% off at Local Celebrity by using the coupon code BLACKISBEAUTIFUL, valid until Sunday. ——————————–

  4. 50% off all tees at Beandip Clothing, no coupon needed, not sure if this one goes on all weekend, so you don’t have too long to get in on the action. ——————————–

  5. Even though they’re British, Urban Retro are getting into the coupon code madness, use code XMAS25 to get 25% off your order this weekend. ——————————–

  6. There seems to be a bit of small print to this one (as you can see at the bottom of the image), but 30% is still a good deal, especially when you can knock that off items which are already on sale. Also, WEGOBBLE is a pretty cute coupon code, well done Tobi. ——————————–

  7. Fred Flare are offering free shipping this weekend (which is a $7.95 value) by using the coupon code MO, sure, it’s not the biggest deal on the list, but at least you can’t complain about the shipping prices! ——————————–

  8. You’ll have to be quick to catch this one at Random Shirts: Now that you’re rolling out of bed and trying to recover from that turkey coma, it’s time to do some serious shopping. Today is the day you’ve been waiting for your entire life! Randomshirts.com….buy 3 shirts…get 2 free. Go, now. You won’t regret it. Remember …every time you buy 3 shirts you get 2 for free ALL day. That means if you buy 6 you’ll get 4 free, if you buy 9 you’ll get 6 free..and so on. We are confident that you can get all your holiday shopping done for the rest of your life on this one day. Simply add all your shirts to the cart to see the discount! ——————————–

  9. Get 30% off your order at 80s Purple by using the coupon code black08, offer valid until Monday. ——————————–

  10. There’s 30-60% off selected items this weekend at Mishka NYC, and you can get another 10% off your order (on top of the sale savings) by using the discount code BLACKFRIDAY. ——————————–

  11. Sure The Cotton Factory’s flyer isn’t the flashiest but it gets the job done! Use coupon code BLITZKRIEG from now until Monday for 15% off your order. ——————————–

  12. Split Reason are offering a healthy 20% off everything by using the coupon code BLACKFRIDAY. ——————————–

  14. Buy two or more tees at Walkie Talkie tees and you’ll be eligible for free shipping! ——————————–

  15. There’s 20% off at Mediocore Clothing until Sunday, using the coupon code AWESOME, maybe you could put that saving towards the tee above that is currently on pre-order. ——————————–

  16. Johnny Cupcake’s offering for Black Friday this year is a 20% coupon code (SANTA) that you can use online, or print off the coupon above and take it into any of the JC bricks & mortar stores, which is a cool addition. Valid until December 2nd. ——————————–

  17. This one isn’t just for Black Friday since it goes on until January 1st, but its a decent deal so I thought I’d include it. £3/$6 off each Bang Bang T-Shirts tee ain’t half bad, and remember, there’s free worldwide shipping on all orders. —————————-

  18. KosherHam.com have HYA up with a coupon code which lasts for more than the rest of the weekend, it lasts all the way to January 5th! Just use the code HYA and you’ll get 10% off your order. ——————————–

  19. Paper Root Clothing have got up to 50% off their shirts and also a few $5 grab bags, no fancy schmancy coupon code necessary. ——————————–

  20. You’ve only got 4 hours before this code goes dead. Hunty from MySoti got drunk, no, really, and he set up a coupon code for 20% off your order, it’s drunkenmadness and it will be gone soon, so if you’ve had your eye on something over there this is a good opportunity to pick it up. ——————————-

  21. Get 20% off at Catastrophic Clothing with the coupon code BLACKFRIDAY… obviously. ——————————-

  22. Hoodie People have knocked 25% off their Upper Playground (mens here, womens here) range, I don’t know what the expiration date is on it, but the coupon code is upsalehoodies. ——————————–

  23. Now that is a good deal to end this post on, Glarkware have got some very, very, cheap items, and you don’t even need a coupon code! Have a great weekend everyone!

I’d done a little research before my trip, and found a few cool places, but I couldn’t find exactly what I was after. I figured that if I’m searching for that kind of info on the internet, then other people probably are too, so I thought it might be a good idea to make a list of clothing stores in London. Upper Playground

Address: 31 Kingly Street, London, W1 (Google Maps Link) Upper Playground have six retail stores, five of them are on the West Coast of the U.S., and luckily for us, one of them is in London. Demo

Address: 19 Fouberts Place, W1F 7PZ (Google Maps Link) If you’re going to Upper Playground, you may as well pop around the corner and head down Fouberts Place, where you’ll find Demo. It’s a fairly small shop, but it’s a veritable aladdin’s cave of top notch streetwear. Demo also happens to be the only place in the UK where I’ve seen Imaginary Foundation on sale, so its well worth a vist. Oh, and they have XLarge too. Super Superficial

Address: 17 Fouberts Place, W1F 7QD and Kingly Court I don’t know why Super Superficial’s only retail shops are within a couple of minutes walk of each other, but as long as they keep producing such great designs and offering Graniph-style discounts for buying more than one tee then I’ll be paying them a visit. If you want to pick between the two, I’d pick the Kingly Court shop, it feels a little larger, and I like the way they’ve fitted it out, but I assume they both offer the same range of designs. Howies

Address: 42 Carnaby Street, W1F 7DY (Google Maps Link) Howies are a Welsh brand (who are astoundingly frank and open in their ‘about us‘ section) that produce really cool, simple tee designs. They started out life as a skate/bike brand, so you see a lot of those themes running through the shirts. Oh, and they’re eco-friendly too! Chateau Roux

[Picture credit: Super Indellible] Address: 17 Newburgh Street, W1F 7RZ (Google Maps Link) Chateau Roux are a pretty young brand (launched May 2006), but they’ve managed to get pretty big, pretty fast, and opening their first store earlier this year is strong testament to that. I wonder what kind of packaging they use when you buy a tee there, because when you get one in the post its a pretty special occasion. Lazy Oaf

Address: Kingly Court (Google Maps Link) Lazy Oaf had a face-lift recently, and boy does it look cool. The LO shop sells all kinds of things, clothing, jewelry, and stationary to name a few, all of which have sprung from the creative mind of Gemma Shiel. Terratag

Address: 188 Brick Lane, E1 6SA (Google Maps Link) We’re moving away from the Carnaby area now, and heading to the land of Terratag, the guys who are all about Gundam, Graff, and Girls. They have a flagship store on Brick Lane (though they are stocked in a number of other locations across London and the rest of the UK) that shows off both their clothing lines and printed art. Your Eyes Lie

[Can't find a picture of the store, sorry guys] Address: Unit 6b, Camden Lock, NW1 8AL (Google Maps Link) Your Eyes Lie is a brand run by a British and Thai designer that make some pretty darned awesome black and white tees, though they have started branching into the world of colours. Concrete Hermit

[more pictures here] Address: 5a Club Row, London, E1 6JX (Google Maps Link) Just a stone’s throw from Brick Lane, Concrete Hermit have a brilliant gallery/store that is well worth a visit. I’ve done a full review of the store that can be found here, but the short version is that they sell art and tees done by the artists that they feature in the gallery. Magma

[Picture credit: northerncontinent] Address: 8 Earlham Street, WC2H 9RY (Google Maps Link) & 117 Clerkenwell Road, EC1R 5BY (Google Maps Link) Technically, Magma is actually a design bookstore, but considering they sell some 2k by Gingham tees I think I can shoehorn one of my favourite London stores into this list. I can almost guarantee that if I ever enter this store I’ll be walking out with a red plastic bag that has T magazine (or something else achingly cool) in it. Hideout

Address: 7 Upper James Street, W1F 9DF (Google Maps Link) Hideout deals with higher-end streetwear labels such as Supreme, Billionaire Boys Club, and Neighborhood, so expect to leave this store with a far lighter wallet than you went in with. Slam City Skates

Address: 16 Neal’s Yard, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9DP (Google Maps Link) As you’d imagine from the name, Slam City Skates is heaven for skaters, but a lot of their clothing is friendly to those of us that have the balance of a top-heavy pin stood on a piece of rope between the Grand Canyon in a high-wind (… I can’t skate). I’m sure that I’m missing loads of great stores off, but since I don’t go to London all that much I haven’t had a lot of opportunity to go exploring, so if you know of a shop that should be on this list when I’m next down in the big smoke then leave a comment and I’ll add it to the list (after a thorough vetting process of me deciding whether its cool or not).
