View Full Version : Help me pick the next t-shirt I buy.

I was going through my clothes and it occurred to me that they're looking like shit. I'm one of those people who keeps and wears stuff until it falls apart...I have one t-shirt that I've actually got a picture of myself wearing as a ten year old. It's actually held up pretty well, except that it's so threadbare at the shoulders you can see through it.

Anyway.

I just ordered a Battle Royale shirt I've been wanting for a long time- the olive green one that looks like military fatigues. I'm going to order another shirt next month, the next time I have money. But I've got some possibilities and I can't decide.

I like this one a lot. The only thing I don't like is that when you wear a t-shirt like this, and you have boobs, such a big blocky solid print tends to stick out like armor and not be very form-fitting. And this guy doesn't offer the "distressed" option like fright rags does :(

I like Jack Daniels, I do Japanese art for a "living", this seems like a reasonable compromise. I try and stay away from the "OH I AM AN OTAKU AND ALSO I LOVE ANIME" shit. This is a little too close to that category for me to be truly comfortable, but still. It's an option.

I loves me some Boris the Sprinkler, and I already had 4 Ramones shirts (kept 1, got rid of 3). May be time to mix things up a bit. Bad thing is, this is a white shirt. Big boobs and white shirts are also recipes for disaster- you spill everything.

I'm also open to ideas.

I want the Japanese Jack Daniels! My wife hated my old Jack shirt and it wound up in the dumpster. :(

Can we make you a t-shirt?

Just make one out of a garbage bag and duct tape.

I think I would go the last one, since I don't have many white t-shirts, but I am also tempted to go for the Astro Zombies one.

I just bought this a few days ago, although I was looking for a girls one for my girl but could only find one for men, so maybe not a good idea for you :

Don't ever buy anything with Asian lettering on it.

Emu- I know, that's the way I usually lean. I mean, I lean toward avoiding things with Asian lettering like the plague.

You wash your hands after handling things with Asian lettering?

Haha, who am I kidding? You feel the need to wash your hands just by reading this.

Kitsa
Apr 26th, 2009, 09:44 PM
Nope. But I will tell you this.

I was out in the woods today and I must have startled or annoyed a squirrel, who dropped a dried ear of corn on my head. My first thought was how many times I'd have to wash my hair to rid it of squirrel-cooties, squirrel-aids or anything else that might have been transmitted on contact.

Lol, you never go camping do you? :(

I probably genuinely would not mind it, apart from the bathroom thing. I go on a lot of hikes, and when I was able-bodied I had to spend days hunting for rare plants in the Indiana Dunes. I can be a nature girl. I just like having flush toilets and running water, too.

I also like this one of sad Jason:

Or this one, although it leaves me open to fat jokes:

I am huge in Japan :(

This one is a really serious candidate.

There was a shirt I wated so badly, but wasn't allowed :(

It had 2 stick figures (an adult and a child) holding hands and walking into a stick figure sun rise/set. Below it was written.

My gandpa has a magical lap!

wasn't allowed where? tshirt hell would probably make it.

Tadao

Wasn't allowed by the wife. There used to be a site called anti-social.com. They had an amazing amount of funny rude shirts. I could take a design to a silkscreen artist. I bet the can do it all by computer over the net somewhere actually. Can you do that at tshirt hell?

Kitsa
Apr 26th, 2009, 10:36 PM
no, but there are a million make-a-shirt sites out there, someone would do it.

I think if you really like that first one, you can probably get it made locally for a decent price. I have a friend that got a Masters of the Universe shirt made, complete with the distressed look.

Fright Rags has a lot of really cool vintage style shirts. I've ordered a shitload, and if you get the vintage shirts, the design doesn't have that really solid, blocky feeling. It's there, but it's not as bad as a lot of similar shirts.

Speaking of which, the Friday the 13th shirts I ordered from there are reeeeally cool. They used a bleaching process or something, so the designs are imprinted right into the fabric, instead of on top of it.

I like frightrags a lot. I just filled out their survey for the 15% off. I wanted to get a pink ghoulies or critters shirt, or frogs, but I'm still thinking about it.

Since he asked what we wanted to see, I emailed him requesting that he look into some of the more obscure J-horror shirts like Stacy, etc. J-horror does periodically make forays into the zombie world, although they're almost always painted blue for some reason.

I have a critters shirt from Fright Rags...from their vintage section.
I vote for the Sad Jason Shirt.

Yeah, I was looking hard at the critters.

I've got both of those, actually.

I have a lot of Fright Fags stuff and prefer them over places like November Fire. The owner, Ben, is a really outstanding guy. I have the Critters in red and it looks great.

Kitsa

Ben was nice in the emails :)

Ben actually gives a shit about his customers, and he tries to deliver the best possible original shirts. I have like 15-20 shirts from there and they're all really nice.

I was wearing my long sleeve Death Race 2000 in red shirt earlier :O

You should get this shirt.

I like it, except the logo on the back would draw attention to my giant ass :(

I just got the sweet From Beyond shirt from Fright-Rags.

It's like the best place to get shirts. :(

Stop caring about your arse and your boobs and just wear the damn t-shirt for god sake.

yeah, but if you saw someone who was shaped like me, in a normal public situation, you guys would be all HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH FATTY

Tadao
May 2nd, 2009, 08:00 PM
No I would be! HEY GIRLS! You like the HAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOONNNNNNNNNNNN BBBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRS?

Zhukov

I am a very non-judgemental person.

People that would call you a fatty (Hey! Your boobs are too big! Hahahaha! = likely) shouldn't be worthy enough to be taken into consideration with something as important as a cool t-shirt.

^non sarcastic.

Tshirts were practically designed for fat people so I don't know what you're so worried about.
