T-Shirt Tuesdays
Don’t you love it when a tee shirt is more than just a tee? Like a top that makes a major artistic statement while you comfortably go about your business? A loose fitting piece that makes you look put together as opposed to sloppy? Well Jonathan Saunders has your number.
It’s hard to find tees that are both interesting and sufficiently subtle to satisfy my design-conscious yet wallflowery husband YZ. Sam Kaufman, the creative behind Lead & Light manages to hit the pin on the head…
After another visit to the midwife’s office yesterday and, thus, another precious chance to listen to Pipsqueek’s little heart thumping away I can’t help but have a giddy case of baby-brain. It’s taking all of my shopaholic willpower not to spend the little one’s college fund on fluffy booties, clothing, and a comprehensive Dr. Seuss / Shel Silverstein / Richard Scarry / Maurice Sendak library.
Don’t get me wrong – I love the biting severity of winter, the layers of gray, the way the city looks a century younger when it’s covered in two feet of fresh snow. But here and there, throughout these colder months, my mind does wander to scorching hot days at the beach, watermelon, and skipping around outside in a t-shirt and shorts.
While daydreaming about a still-too-far-in-the-future trip that YZ and I will be making out West this spring, these RVLT Revolution tees caught my eye. Their beachy, sun-faded look (thanks enzyme wash!) reminded me of something I would have stolen from my surfer boyfriend’s closet back in my college years…
Thanks to my brand spanking new (and amazingly talented) colleague David Browning for alerting me of the big fat sale happening today through Thursday at Parachute!
We’ve been big fans of the Out of Print tee series ever since we first stumbled upon the site. Then, about a month ago we saw this book design gem over on Mikey Burton’s Flickr stream. Thus, when we saw that Out of Print and Mikey hooked up to make the tees above, well, it was like a fairy godmother had read our diary!

It’s been a few weeks since our last T-Shirt Tuesday and you know what a sucker I am for well-styled B&W collections…
A wee bit over one year has passed since we first launched our weekly Lo’s List section, T-Shirt Tuesdays. We’ve sunk gobs of time into scouring the interwebs for the very best use of the garment and haven’t had too much trouble finding some must-have duds…
Helsinki clothing label CTRL is a fashion-forward flashback for an aging 20-something’s memories of youth: raves, rap, spray paint, acid wash… The clothier’s creative director, Freeman, founded the label waaay back in 1995 with the purest of pursuits: chasing tail…
The work of Helsinki “fashionbrand” Gilles et Dada is almost as discombobulating as their credo but one thing is for sure: we’d wear the tees. Found at the label’s online shop with an equally odd/fun name, NoStyleButGoodSense, these slightly long, black & white or black & asphalt numbers are indeed very Dada-meets-graffiti, a Hannah Höch + WK Interact love child of sorts…
Did I mention that Lo’s List loves fall? Well, football is just one more tremendous tradition to add to the list of the season’s offerings. There’s nothing that I look forward to more than a Sunday afternoon / Monday night yelping at the tube with YZ (damn you Jets offense!) and drinking fancypants Belgian beer. To celebrate the time-honored American sports tradition, here’s our roundup of vintage-y, super-soft collegiate football team tees from Retro Brand. All the charm of the prep years minus the dormitories and barfy keg parties.
Eco-friendly tees produced in short run batches (only 50 imprints per design!), that’s at the core of boardsport clothing company Sutsu’s credo. Mixed with a big fat sale that’s going on right now (30% off just about everything!) and there’s really no reason to click on over to their site and pick up an upbeat and earthy tee of your own…
End of August or not – these past few days in Tel Aviv have felt like the doggiest days of summer yet. I know autumn is around the corner but 45ºC? Really? What to do when nothing you own is cool enough but you don’t want to blow all your hard earned cash on what should be your fall/winter wardrobe? Um… multitask of course!
