T-shirt Shaped Sketchbooks

T-shirt Sketchbooks! I finally got my hands on two t-shirt shaped sketchbooks.

These are made by PUKKA/DANK. The quality is pretty good from what I can tell but I have easy to satisfy standards. They are $15.00 USD each but cost me $45.50 USD for the 2 books including the shipping to the US. A little expensive but I couldn't pass up the chance to grab a couple of them.

I'll have to post some photos of when I use them.

bortwein on Nov 14 '11 at 3:37pm

nope and nope.

From top to bottom they are 6.5 inches
From Sleeve to sleeve they are 7.5 inches
The bottom shirt width is 4.25 inches.
and they are 5/8 inch thick equaling 170 pages.

yeah, threadless had the fieldnotes tshirt books.

these look rad though.

bortwein on Nov 14 '11 at 4:12pm

yeah I have the field notes as well, but they are kind of small.

Dang those are perfect for brain storming. My sketch book that size is a boring old rectangle.

I kind of wish the covers were thicker to give it more protection while closed. I am thinking of finding a thick rubber band to wrap around the middle to keep it closed and secure while in my bag.

how bout the spring? did it bother you at all?

great find btw

I haven't started using it yet, but I don't think the spiral binding is going to bug me. Probably because I usually draw with my paper at an angle anyway.

Nice! We're actually working with this company(pukka/dank) and should have some branded ones out for holiday time.

bortwein on Nov 16 '11 at 11:49am

just my luck. I already bought 2 of these and now I find out that a Threadless branded one will be available.

What is the planned cost through Threadless? if you can share that info.

sa-weet! looking forward to seeing threadless ones! would almost prefer them a bit bigger though...
