after spending an inordinate amount of time ogling this shirt, i realized i wasn't ogling the shirt anymore. i was ogling the little cap that the male model was wearing. ogle.

anybody know what that style is called? even better, where i could get one?

i heart you all.

i'm going through a bit of withdrawal after the frenzied buying during the last sale. anybody know when there'll be some new shirts/reprints released?

a lonely tear and the dull ache of exclusion. here we are, a long-standing trading partner, military ally through several international conflicts, cultural symbiont, your kindly, inoffensive, and - yes, i'll say it - nice neighbour to the north, and we've been excluded (utterly! not a single pin!) from the contest.

the galapagos islands got a pin! zambia got a pin! norway got a pin - and nobody likes norwegians! the mexicans got 2 pins for pete's sake! mexicans! pins! 2! contest! rhubarb!

this aggression will not stand, man. we want in. if it's about having internationally recognizable monuments vegreville has the world's largest easter egg. as if you didn't already know.

so despite the crazy cheapness and rampant awesomeitude of threadless' t-shirts, my ladyfriend and i think it would be fun to screenprint our own t-shirts with our own designs. however, after doing a bit of reading, it's starting to look mighty difficult to do anything more than a simple black-and-white high-contrast image: certainly nothing as cool as we've seen here. disappointing!

what i'm wondering is, how does threadless (or any professional screening company for that matter) actually go about printing their designs on shirts? is it actual silk-screening, or some sort of heat-applied system, or .. something else. anybody know?
