This is my first blog on Threadless :D but on a rather unfortunate note. :/

I recently received a catalogue from an Australian clothing chain called Best & Less in the mail, and noticed a boy's pajama set with exactly the same x-ray dog motif as this shirt. No effort made to alter the design at all, save for a slightly different placement and a few lines of text.

See pajama set here (page 6&7, top left hand corner). There's even an "enlarge image" option so you can see the offending item close up:

I know it can be difficult to pin smaller clothing labels on plagiarism of Threadless tee designs (especially if they slightly alter the design but retain the overall concept), but Best & Less is a relatively large clothing chain in Australia and frankly I'm surprised they thought they could get away with something like this.

So if you are a Threadless fan and live in Australia, please boycott shopping at Best & Less. And if you have never shopped there before, please continue! :D

Nice catch.

Send Threadless an email with the link and let theOtherFesta (lawyer) have at it.

I already did, I doubt if there's much they can do about it though.
