jublin on Sep 10 '07 at 12:45pm

so do you only sell the shirts that come out that week and switch it up every friday?

tracerbullet on Sep 10 '07 at 12:46pm

haha that floor mat is so cool.

i think you guys could give the apple stores a run for their money in terms of awesome high tech-ery inside. look at all dem screens!

shimala on Sep 10 '07 at 12:47pm

and the previous weeks tees

jublin on Sep 10 '07 at 12:50pm

ah that's smart. keep em coming back for more. i wonder if fridays at the store will be like off the hook crazy party days. TGIFman!

rhythmdev9 on Sep 10 '07 at 12:50pm

so just the two weeks worth?

fat pigeon on Sep 10 '07 at 12:51pm

If I ever get anything printed I want to come to the store and see it there in all it's glory.

t-thyme on Sep 10 '07 at 12:52pm

oh sweet... it looks super-cool inside! Can't wait to see it in person on Saturday :D

jstumpenhorst on Sep 10 '07 at 12:52pm

that is awesome!! CONGRATULATIONS Threadless!! I can't wait to see the store in person! I plan to get in there maybe tonight or in the next couple of days! i definitely don't want to wait until friday!

squintygirl on Sep 10 '07 at 12:53pm

AHAHAHA, the sad look on that dude's face in the second-to-last photo makes me laugh. It's like he just realized that he forgot his wallet at home.

fat pigeon on Sep 10 '07 at 12:53pm

So, will next weeks tees be out this friday at the store?

chelly on Sep 10 '07 at 12:53pm

it's like a rock concert!
look at that line.

Edword on Sep 10 '07 at 12:55pm

and will they all be printed on the new tees or just the grand opening tee?

tracerbullet on Sep 10 '07 at 12:57pm

judging by the photos, it seems that many cute girls live in chicago.

note to self: move to chicago.

jublin on Sep 10 '07 at 12:59pm

i can see like only 4 girls.

but all those guys are so charmingly handsome!

viralVISUAL on Sep 10 '07 at 12:59pm

It's torture. Plain and simple.

You can end this, Threadless. Just fly me out to Chicago and end my suffering.

xiv on Sep 10 '07 at 12:59pm

vamp orthodontics needs a reprint.

stickymike on Sep 10 '07 at 1:03pm

very awesome!

plastikaa on Sep 10 '07 at 1:05pm

Looks awesome! thumbs up :) great work and effort put in by all you guys and gals at threadless!

fatheed on Sep 10 '07 at 1:50pm

This guy's size has so sold out.

fatheed on Sep 10 '07 at 1:53pm

Congratulations, it looks super awesome. I hope it works out great, and that this is just the start of a new chapter.

Maltzmania on Sep 10 '07 at 1:58pm

starr226 on Sep 10 '07 at 2:03pm

iDanSimpson on Sep 10 '07 at 2:10pm

littlem on Sep 10 '07 at 2:33pm

Rachel Ray Gun on Sep 10 '07 at 2:41pm

hell no to the bikini!

renfrue on Sep 10 '07 at 2:41pm

arzie13 on Sep 10 '07 at 2:46pm

Rachel is pink now! So I guess the hazing is over.

jublin on Sep 10 '07 at 2:47pm

lol @ people looking for rachel gun in a bikini

arzie13 on Sep 10 '07 at 2:47pm

"fatheed, the guy whose size has sold out looks like a young speedyJoe"

no such thing, Joe looks like he is 8.

Candiru on Sep 10 '07 at 2:50pm

Oh my gosh I'm about to move to Chicago this weekend for school and I'm definitely excited about visiting the store!

The thing is, I kind of find it to be a bit of a turnoff to see all the identical shirts stacked up. I know it's no secret that the shirts are heavily popular, but it's the same kind of feeling that makes those department store novelty tees a bit unappealing.

I just find that the products would look so much better if there was a way to, I don't know, "dispense" shirts (by size) so that people see each shirt one at a time without having to be reminded that their shirt is not as one of MANY MANY that so many other people in the area have bought or are bound to buy.

Just a humble suggestion; I think the store is very lovely.

yomomo on Sep 10 '07 at 2:51pm

this is so awesome!! welldone TH,,,,,!!!! i wish i were there..

starr226 on Sep 10 '07 at 2:53pm

where are the threadless bikinis for rachel to wear?

(last rr-bikini comment. promise)

Rachel Ray Gun on Sep 10 '07 at 2:53pm

I put some photos from yesterday up on my flickr also.

12 hours of re-folding and stacking shirts, totally worth it.

OlliRudi on Sep 10 '07 at 2:57pm

i am all for bikinis with no threads.

hey skaw, is that a reprint of vampire orthodontics or just an old one? cause i'd kill for a reprint of that. I wouldn't kill much, maybe a spider or a bug, but i'd kill.

jublin on Sep 10 '07 at 3:02pm

spiders have exoskeletons. good luck trying to kill one of those olli.

yeohgh on Sep 10 '07 at 3:04pm

Wellllllldoneeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

OlliRudi on Sep 10 '07 at 3:14pm

i could build a tiny spider guillotine

nes-k on Sep 10 '07 at 3:53pm

cool !!

skaw on Sep 10 '07 at 3:56pm

ollirudi- it's just an old one

Brisco on Sep 10 '07 at 4:03pm

A fitting room! What a cool idea! That way I could decide if a shirt actually looks good on me, or if I only wanted it because its awesome!

OlliRudi on Sep 10 '07 at 4:07pm

damn, no killing for me then

ladykat on Sep 10 '07 at 4:10pm

Hmm...

czongor on Sep 10 '07 at 4:22pm

Speaking of killing, the store is only 384 feet from Cesar's, home of the killer margarita! Nobody spill salsa on my shirt!

juleyah on Sep 10 '07 at 4:35pm

lsmc88 on Sep 10 '07 at 7:48pm

AAH! How long will it be until you guys open one up in Orlando? That store is beautiful! I love the design of everything too

Fermata on Sep 10 '07 at 8:00pm

Agh. I want to go so bad. When do we get a glimpse of the exclusive shirt?

iDanSimpson on Sep 10 '07 at 8:02pm

they told me it would be available friday

Fermata on Sep 10 '07 at 8:05pm

Oh HECK no. I have my operative going on THURSDAY. This presents a problem. Sttaaaaafff? Is this true?

deathcabfortom on Sep 10 '07 at 8:07pm

I need a job.!

cindle on Sep 10 '07 at 9:45pm

One day, when i am swimming in a pool of money, i shall buy a ticket for chicago and enjoy the awesomeness that I like to call Threadless. agreed

speedyjvw on Sep 10 '07 at 9:50pm

funkie fresh on Sep 10 '07 at 11:23pm

more heat than light on Sep 11 '07 at 5:44am

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Book. Flight.

:(

Jebbie on Sep 11 '07 at 6:00am

*le drool*

Someone should sponsor me a one-way ticket and I can be like Threadless's little mascot, like a random cat that hangs around a bookstore or whatever, I'll like live in the Chicago Threadless store. And kind passerbys and customers and maybe possibly even employees will feed me milk and like tid-bits and like I'll just curl up into a ball and sleep in the corner at random hours of the day and it'll be super cool!

million_dead_dash on Sep 11 '07 at 10:21am

congrats :-)

Rachel Ray Gun on Sep 11 '07 at 11:54am

Jebbie, we already have something like that. It's Charlie in his prison jumpsuit.

killermoves on Sep 11 '07 at 11:55am

the store is beauuuuuutiful :)

plastikaa on Sep 11 '07 at 5:21pm

Is there any plans to create a wall(s) of shirts showcasing every shirt ever printed? I know you used to have one a long time ago, I wondered if now have room to recreate this... it would be amazing to see!

plastikaa on Sep 11 '07 at 5:25pm

^ then below each shirt you should cast the artists hands of any designer that visits the store, with a photo and possibly like a artist profile.. that would be snazzy
