I was thinking of buying either this one:



Or this one:


Right now I have these ones:

What do you think?

Also, does anyone "get" the first T-shirt? The others are pretty self explanatory.

Though the other one is nice too.



Aquaman? What is there to "get"? (I guess I'm not getting it...)

No, the The Orange T-shirt.

I too like the Blue Lantern shirt, but I already have a blue shirt...

Do these shirts have some meaning?

When I went to see The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy movie I won a tee shirt.
It was much much much too small, a cause of great regret still.

Glow in the dark skull t-shirts. That's what I use.  :headbang:

None! go for a high quality classy tee that will last for years and will work with everything you pair/layer it with.
brands I recommend for high quality tees that last and look good are Sunspel, Folk, Universal Works, Norse Projects, APC and my personal favorite brand S.N.S Herning.

Then again I spend stupid amounts of money on clothes and not everyone is as anal about clothes as I am so just ignore me.

I'm thinking I'd like to do some silk-screening on shirts so I can get the message just right...

Do they have any video game, or comic book T-shirts? Or at least funny ones?

Yeah do it, if your going to go with a one or two colour piece in low quantities i recommend vinyl transfers as if your going for silk-screen you get charged for the making the screens and in small runs isn't cost effective.

Nope there more about high-end classic clothing with contemporary fits so most are just plain but done to the highest of qualities.

But check out the Japanese brand Beams (they had a feature on kotaku a while back) and Uniqlo, every season they create a range of tees that takes computer games, manga, comic books, ect in pretty interesting ways. but honestly I don't know much about that area of fashion.

I'll check it out, but I won't pay more than 30 bucks!

Five T-shirts is the optimal amount of T-shirts! It gives me one for monday, one for tuesday, one for wednesday, one for thursday, and one for the weekend. With an optional sixth for special occasions.

Was actually considering doing it myself - doesn't look *too* hard going by YouTube how-to videos.

Did silkscreen in highschool days and think it wouldn't be a bad skill to learn - have friends in a band who might appreciate it.

But I'd have to stick to one-color images for starters...

Even better I keep meaning to get back into screen-printing myself but work seems to dominate most of my time. You can do some amazing stuff with a single screen playing about with mixing specialist inks, over printing, and just being crazy creative with the restrictions. A really easy method I use to use without the need to faff about with exposing screens is to cut patterns into paper, place it on the screen and pull away, you don't get perfectly defined shapes using this method but the unpredictability and hand crafted feel of it makes it all the better.
