Hello dears.
I'm back from Thailand and i want to show you how many threadless fakes i found down there. Yep, beside diesel,abercrombie,cartier and tons of "main stream" brands, i was so lucky to see ripped off Threadless material in many many shops(and i assumed they sell a lot: many morons wearing them on the streets...).
Here a selection of pics, but you know, there was more and more. either in bangkok or in islands.






^Some of you may know that non-threadless design...
I saw at least 10 versions of stuck with pins' theme.ripping off a thief made me sort of bitter laughing...

^And that was the biggest surprise: they stole my "temptation" sub even if not printed(that shop had a couple of other unprinted subs)! I've been such of lucky on find it, it was a small shop in a pretty huge market. I didnt know if should i be sad or happy about that...anyways, i bought it, forgive my vanity..

So, WE ARE DEFINITELY FAMOUS!
aren't we?

I'd love to have seen the persons face if you had told them you designed that shirt and not given permission for it to be printed.

Then insisted they removed it from the shop and destroyed them else you were going to ring the cops.

well consider that there are streets full of shops in wich you can find diesel,rolex,nike,adidas,abercrombie and go on....that companyes seems to can not do anything against this phenomenon. its not on the shops itself obviously:there are factorys that works only like this, and the demand is probably very high..most of them come from china i guess
fastjumper

yep josh i've seen the optimistic one

djeezz, that's insane.

But did you also get the 'I went to Thailand and all I got was this fake Threadless shirt' shirt?
plastikaa
   plastikaa on Sep 20 '06 at 2:27pm
its funny how they do it so obviosuly though... if they used one of two designs they could possible get away with it. But the fact they do loads and p[ut them all together in the shop.

And whats with the different labels... they made by different companies but then somehow all end up in the same rack in the same shop?

You should have picked your shirt up and just walked out the shop without paying... then on the acusation of theft you can just tell them taking what is already yours isnt theft.
fastjumper
   fastjumper on Sep 20 '06 at 2:35pm
hehe many palettes are changed..and the quality of prints is crappy in most of them

i have nothing against the people of thailand or anyone that is thai, but it would be really funny if a bunch of "anti thai tees designs" were sent their way, just as a fun little jab.

thailand is a dirty pit of t shirt scandal.
fastjumper
   fastjumper on Sep 20 '06 at 2:40pm
i told to the guy on the shop:
HEY THATS MY FUCKING DESIGN MAN!!!
he started looking at me as i was stoned...



so i got it for a special price and i left the shop

   .moto. on Sep 20 '06 at 2:40pm
they printed fastjumpers extra tasty sub! bastards..
Luke...
   Luke... on Sep 20 '06 at 2:41pm
nope, i got paid...i cant realistically hope for anymore cash for my product, besides i would be much angrier about non-printed designs getting stolen...i just hope that i can be printed again, so that more thai people can sport me designs...haha
OlliRudi
   OlliRudi on Sep 20 '06 at 2:41pm
insane. but i kinda want a few anyway. especially temptation(why the hell didn't threadless print that?)


as the historic saying goes, "it's not stealing if it's in asia"
