Shout out 4 aussie threadless store!

c'mon aussie lets get heard! [oh my god that sounds lame]...
well neway australia needs a threadless store! the northern hemispheres got one, now the south does too, n where better than down under?
melbourne would definitely[is that right?] be the best place! i mean everyone knows it here where its at! [+sydney people, sorry but no one who isn't from sydney can figure out how to get around... even sydney-siders get lost!] plus, i live nearby ^_^
i could list y melbournes the best but, i shan't make people from, err, lesser states feel bad [jokin] [no really i am] [melbourne roxorz] [we got john so, 'n hes OUR bro!]
so... leave a message n maybe if enugh aussie threadless members comment it and support it, we COULD [unlikely] get an aussie threadless store!
AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE!!!

[someone who isn't the author of the blog]
yea thats sounds awesome dude!

horizontal vertigo on Nov 17 '07 at 4:52am

hmm c'mon aussies!

ecky_ducky on Nov 17 '07 at 5:17am

Dude, it's Aussie. Come on. Unpatriotic. Poor form.

In other news, I think the chances are slim at best. Slimmer than that, even.

d3d on Nov 17 '07 at 5:21am

melbourne is the fashion capital and it's cold. i dunno if cheap tees would go down so well. i reckon sydney, newcastle, or surfers would be better sites.

squatterjohn on Nov 17 '07 at 8:24am

Also, Melbourne sucks.

Neon Samurai on Nov 17 '07 at 8:40am

*rolls up sleeves*

What was that about Melbourne?

horizontal vertigo on Nov 17 '07 at 6:14pm

what r u talkin bout? melbournes awesome! where u from eh? eh?

Jebbie on Nov 17 '07 at 7:38pm

Sydney is where it's at forker.

Neon Samurai on Nov 17 '07 at 7:56pm

*tackles jebbie*

Neon Samurai on Nov 17 '07 at 7:57pm

Tell me who your daddy is.

Jebbie on Nov 17 '07 at 8:01pm

Who's yo' daddy

Neon Samurai on Nov 17 '07 at 8:10pm

Arrrgh, let go of my arm.

You're my daddy, you're my daddy.

Daniel San on Nov 17 '07 at 8:15pm

This has been discussed about 3023404 times, but still relevant I guess.

I'd vote for Sydney.

squatterjohn on Nov 18 '07 at 1:58am

In all seriousness, this is never going to happen. In order to maintain the philosophy of the store, which is to put brand new designs out the weekend before they go out to the website, and then leave them there for a two-week run, you would have to ship them over here well in advance, or else have them printed locally. Then, you'd have to move all unsold stock back for sale through the website, or have some kind of distribution mechanism here. The price of the t-shirts would wind up being at least $30 if not $40.

Neon Samurai on Nov 18 '07 at 2:29am

Yeah, it'll never happen. Besides anything else there's got to be a dozen places that due to population density etc would get a store way before Oz.

horizontal vertigo on Nov 18 '07 at 2:38am

sshhh, don't crush my dreams u meanie
lol ah well its worth a try ^_^

Neon Samurai on Nov 18 '07 at 2:51am

Oh, oops, I mean:

"I hear they have one planned for opening first quarter 2009"

neon electric on Nov 18 '07 at 3:43am

Sydney is more worthy of a Threadless store.

... but honestly, I don't think it's going to happen.

And anyway, wouldn't you feel less special if there were more people in Aus sporting Threadless tees? Everyone will be buying their tees from Threadless and then I might have to resort to buying my shirts from..... Jay Jays!! eek!

eskimokiss on Nov 18 '07 at 4:55am

or fake threadless from general pants :/

Jebbie on Nov 18 '07 at 4:56am

lol

eskimokiss on Nov 18 '07 at 4:58am

so what's that 3 sydney siders to how many melbournites?

Jebbie on Nov 18 '07 at 4:59am

:( i fail

squatterjohn on Nov 18 '07 at 5:16am

Or fake Threadless from Dangerfield. They're selling "Honest Tee" (I have never been to NY). I came on to "blog about it" but couldn't find the product page cos it seems the I less than three NY people have had it removed.

Jebbie on Nov 18 '07 at 5:20am

it's probably not coming up when you search for it as a product as it's sold out. only tees in stock show up in products searches. search for the sub and find the link that way

ps lame about them selling it

eskimokiss on Nov 18 '07 at 5:21am

was it part of their Revival range?
I haven't bought from them in years.
They seem to be stocking the same shit every year. I hate when brands get stagnate like that

eskimokiss on Nov 18 '07 at 5:22am

no jebs.
Honest tee was removed from the threadless catalogue for the reason squatterjohn mentioned.

Jebbie on Nov 18 '07 at 5:25am

The reason being people made too many fake ones?

squatterjohn on Nov 18 '07 at 5:26am

My friend brought one back for me from New York and it (like, the graphic on the front) was literally COVERED in disclaimers: a registered trademark and copyright blah blah blah .... They've definitely threatened legal action. This is the url : http://www.threadless.com/product/363/Honest_Tee , I was able to find that cos kirstenlovesdinner has submitted a product pic, but the link just takes you back to the main catalogue page.

squatterjohn on Nov 18 '07 at 5:28am

It wasn't Revival eskimo, it was Pulp Kitchen, but you see stuff in there with a Revival tag in it in medium and a dangerfield tag in large, or a revival tag stitched in with a pulp kitchen swing tag so who knows.

They sell really cool logo stuff from nostalgic tv and stuff. Things you'd see on "The Afternoon Show" back in the day, but they use that cheap transfer print crap and charge $44 a shirt. I could get stuff like that at Jay Jays or whatever. More Americanised, but half the price.

eskimokiss on Nov 18 '07 at 5:30am

i used to like their jackets and knitted jumpers

squatterjohn on Nov 18 '07 at 5:34am

I often see things I like in there but rarely find I can pull it off without looking like an indie tryhard.

neon electric on Nov 18 '07 at 6:23am

"indie tryhard" - lol it's funny 'cos it's true.

I'm well over the old school and 80's thing they've had going on there. I've been looking for a Violent Femmes tee for years and they had a very large bunch of them in stock for only $15. It kinda took the appeal right out.

lol, Melbourne.
Try Sydney. I should say that even though I'm in Adelaide. Which gets absolutely nothing good anyway. We have giant metal balls? Oh yay.

Jebbie on Jan 09 '08 at 6:33pm

DOnt be unimpressed by giant metal balls.. they're impressive.

Or at least I'm impressed :P

Spam69 on Jan 09 '08 at 6:37pm

My half sister who lives in Oz describes Melbourne and Sydney as two sisters. She says that Sydney is the pretty one and Melbourne the more cultured and intelligent. Fair comment?

Jebbie on Jan 09 '08 at 6:39pm

Hahahahaha spam

I would probably agree.

Spam69 on Jan 09 '08 at 6:48pm

I would laugh if Threadless took your comments on board for a southern hemisphere shop and opened it in Wellington.

Jebbie on Jan 09 '08 at 11:55pm

I would laugh whilst breaking off every one of your fingers and poking your eyes out with them.

Only not cos not only am I nice. But I'm a better person than you.

Elbeardo on Jan 09 '08 at 11:57pm

...and Adelaide is the boring little brother who sits at home playing with his giant balls

Spam69 on Jan 09 '08 at 11:59pm

That's overkill Jebbie - 2 eyes 10 fingers. What are you going to do with rest of my fingers? No don't answer that.

Spam69 on Jan 10 '08 at 12:00am

Balls and Borders. I'm emigrating.

Jebbie on Jan 10 '08 at 12:16am

Everyone loves Adelaide's metal balls.

I'm going to squish them all in your two eyes. Five fingers (well really four and one thumb) in each eyeball.

Can we do it?

It's an experiment. It's for a good cause..

Spam69 on Jan 10 '08 at 12:25am

Hmmmmn, I'm probably gonna take a rain check Jeb.

And also suggest to your carers they confiscate any pets you may have.

Also while I've got yer nice agitated, if Threadless ever do have a shop overseas, you know in your heart of hearts where it's goin' be.

London

Jebbie on Jan 10 '08 at 12:26am

Yeah I do.

I love London *whimsical sigh

It was so lovely. I will add it on places to visit again.

Neon Samurai on Jan 10 '08 at 2:55am

I love it when Jebbie gets violent and threatening.

It's so cute.

bananaphone on Jan 10 '08 at 3:04am

it won't happen but if it does I have dibs on store manager.

Jebbie on Jan 10 '08 at 4:28am

*chortles and rolls around like a baby

Only really not cos my back is really sore again. I walked the dog cos I thought exercise would be good.

Bad decision Jebbie

Daniel San on Jan 11 '08 at 2:03am

I'd keeeeell to work in the Aus store. The southern hemisphere needs some threadless love. We could totally have exclusive tees and stuff.

But I know this will never happen. :(
