This week’s Threadless email brought me one shirt that I like quite a lot, and several items where I question Threadless’ judgment.

I like this shirt a lot. The colour scheme is very appealing and it’s also a very neat concept.
Verdict: 5$

I think this is a nice design, but I’m not going to buy it because of the placement. While I definitely support breaking out of the mold, I don’t really enjoy calling attention to that particular part of my body. Maybe it’s just me.
It’s also expensive - close to $25 with shipping. That’s a lot for a shirt.

This one’s a reprint, and I like the design a lot - I think it’s pretty clever. However, I definitely agree with a lot of the commenters on the original submission that it looks good until you see its placement on the shirt — it’s too big and unflattering. I wish they’d taken those comments into consideration on the reprint.

And in this week’s “Why the *&$^ did Threadless put that on a print,” I bring you:

I think jar_bombadillo said it best: ‘why would I pay $35 for something I could print out myself for $3?’

Threadless issues three retail art panels each week, painted by Joe Suta, for the Threadless store in Chicago. They’re frequently amalgamations of that week’s designs or just single pieces and very cool takes on the designs of that week. Some of them are totally nutty and most aren’t my style, but I fell in love with the CTRL+Z inspired one and I’ve fallen in love with this week’s Le Romantique panel.

Joe really outdid himself with this panel. Just take a look:

Awesome, hm? Too bad it’s already sold out and that they’re one of a kind. Sigh.

I was looking at today’s releases and I noticed something interesting. June is traditionally celebrated as Pride Month for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people - and this upcoming weekend in particular is the “official” Pride weekend, when most major cities have their parades. (Major metropolitan areas have to fight over when they get to do Pride - for example, New York’s is so large that it forces anyone within about 250 miles to pick a different weekend.) With that in mind, check out a couple of this week’s reprints:

Coincidence? I think not.
(Verdicts: 5$ on the Rainbow Worrier - i had a reprint notification - and 4 on the Gay Pride.)

Also, unrelated: this print is cute, but I don’t think it’s worth $35. For that much money, I’d draw it myself on some posterboard.

In case you haven’t already seen it, I was quoted in this month’s Inc Magazine cover article on Threadless’ success and awesomeness. It’s a quick one-liner, but it was satisfying to have them come to me for some background and to see them use a line from me. Congrats, Threadless, on the profile piece. You guys deserve it and it’ll be fun to see what happens next for you!

Slaterock has yet another print today, with the great A Rustic Hat Rack. Cheers, slaterock. I dig the color and contrasts on this and the idea is exactly the sort of wonky-but-not-too-cartoony, edgy designs we’ve come to expect from Mr. Rock. It’s nice to see more and more designers moving towards this aesthetic and exploring the medium the new designs offer us. (Oh, and off topic, have no fear: a contest is near.)

It looks like Threadless is having a Summer Blockbuster Sale between now and June 8 on almost every product they have in their catalog. Some shirts are as low as $5 and their newly released prints are as low as $30. I’m wondering if Threadless has a 30 day price guarantee to protect those customers who just bought shirts.

I’m not sure what to make of this shirt. It looks a little ninja to me. I see the multiple face concept as well. Pretty cool, but I just have too many blue jean colored shirts.

This is a great reference to the old Pac-man games. It’s an oldie but goodie. Not many left in most sizes. Hopefully a reprint of this will occur in the near future.

A new shirt that deserves a little love for being really cute. I do wish that Threadless gave more shirt color options since every other shirt in my closet is some off green color. I understand the operations task would be very heavy, but a suggestion.

If you’ve been sleeping on some shirts, go get them now! Some of these shirts are limited in size. Additionally, at $5 off ($30 during the sale), you can give one of the prints a try and build up another collection of cool Threadless stuff for your room.
