“It wasn’t cheating, it was house music”
…and this one here.
Even though I wouldn’t splurge 25 euros on a shirt just for the sake of getting a trueschool hip-hop statement through, this really is a great shirt.

Part 4 of my promising newcomers to the t-shirt block: Literati.
Literati’s catalog is currently fairly limited, but it draws on interesting and appealing concept: The designs are an visual interpretation of a song’s lyrics – specific lines from specific songs. The current line includes designs inspired by Ryan Leslie, Jay-Z, Gym Class Heroes, Nas, Fabolous and Whitney Houston.
In the future, Literati will be expanding its inspirations to include not only music but other venues of culture – poetry, movies and more.
The Website navigation isn’t exactly intuitive, but the t-shirts offer a great reward for those of us who are looking for original and inspired designs, with interesting and new perspectives on their inspiration – the songs.
Paid in Full apparel present an intriguing idea: Christian themed line of T-shirts to the throughly secular world of T-shirt design. The t-shirts are supposed to serve as “conversation starters”. Well, I walked around with the “King of Kings, Lords of Lords” T-shirt in the Jewish streets of Israel for an entire day and t-shirt didn’t get any notice – neither conversation or a conversion. My guess is that the idea would work better in a college campus, anytown, USA than around here, where it has a hollow ring to it. The designs are, as stated in the website text, professional and trendy, always with an artistic edge. And while their catalog is still limited, it seems to grow by the week. All Tees are available at very limited quantities and are now on sale for $16 (regularly $18).
Some of the designs:
from Etsy – Love this shirt. These big ass prints give me a better feeling for the infinity of the details they’re made of.
Pretty much the only passable District 9 t-shirts I could find. Very bentonesque in its look.
Update: another passable district 9 shirt. Check it out here.
Update 2:
Another inspired District 9 Shirt:
Consider this part 2 of my mini-series on noteworthy newcomers to the t-shirt block, and this time – Arka Clothing. While their collection is still limited, the presented shirts are an exercise in good taste. Almost every shirt on Arka features an underlying theme of nonsensical playfulness.
Usually, t-shirts like that are getting outflanked in favor of designs with a clearer statement, but that mode of thinking and judging feels more and more wrong to me – Arka’s t-shirts are beautiful, full of color and smooth execution.
The t-shirts themselves are of the highest quality, plus, they are one of the only apparel companies in the world that only print with non-toxic (non-formaldehyde) ink.
