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?

ill probably never get to go to thailand anyways. the closest that i would get would be vietnam. well, thats a tease.

by the time i can pay for my own ticket to thailand, i might as well just stay home and buy REAL threadless tees.

well i dont know. come on, if i was there on vacation with family, and they were like 2 dollars each, (tees were like that in vietnam) i think i would.

like everything is bootleg in those countries.

Maybe someone already mentioned this, but that company's selling shirts on ebay too. And people are buying them.

EEK! i checked on ebay and if you buy a shirt from them it would be almost 30 bucks! i would just buy from threadless.

plus, their colors suck too.

Maybe this is why Threadless wants to open their own stores? So they can at least compete with the sweat shops of Thailand.

lol. they should totally open their stores... in my backyard or something. i think i would end up loitering.

deathcab, would you be the guy who hangs out at the store so often that people think you actually work there? Haha.

This is insane!
I was just up town in Brisbane (Aus) & stopped to look in a store window and saw 1 of my designs in the window! The mad thing is it’s me in the design kneeling infront of an ATM machine (I traced a photo of me in a suit) its not 1 of my Threadless designs but a side project myself & a mate have called www.individualitee.com - it’s not even our best work!!

So I go into the store & grab it out of the window in case I'm seeing things and there it is a bad trace but definitely vectorised on poor quality Thai material with a Graphic Playground label - the assistant behind the counter new nothing but let me check for others which were of course all Threadless designs - she took them all off the shelf & told me the manager wouldn't be happy but would call me with more info - I have no doubt they're already back on the shelf & I probably won’t hear anything!

In 1 way its flattering to have our designs ripped-off with the likes of Threadless & Banksy but on the other I'd like to sue the toe rag who’s also selling all these designs on ebay http://stores.ebay.com/asawin7trading_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ0QQftidZ2QQpZ3QQtZkm and if living in Thailand will be making a small fortune!

PLEASE THREADLESS USE SOME OF YOUR $16 MILLION YOU ARE ESTIMATED TO MAKE THIS YEAR AND SUE THESE MOTHER F#CKERS!!!

My friend saw them over there too. I felt a little ripped off. They shrink very badly i believe so i guess thats why they are in Thailand

In the past I've bid $500 on shirts at eBay just to mess with the sellers because now no one else can buy them and I don't pay shit :-] it's fun screwing with assholes that way... but I just finally gave up. Threadless should tell one of the interns to do that.

emeryg
   emeryg on Mar 20 '07 at 1:15am
we could also spam the bjezuz out of them as ebay lets you ask the seller questions - with the traffic we have here on Threadless we could really piss them off - ask them how they sleep @ night - see my message above for link to ebay products if your interested...

Guys, these shirts aren't only in other countries! I saw them the other day in some stupid store.

For the threadless people... it's called Hollywood Mirror. And they're shitty and more expensive than threadless tees. BRING THE FIST OF GOD DOWN UPON THEM!
