@Baron Von Monkey knows nothing about collectors value.

This is shit. Hopefully nobody will buy this so our good friends at Threadless will stop getting so greedy, and raising their prices so aggressively.

@Baron Von Monkey knows nothing about collectors value.

As someone who makes most of his money selling stuff for far more than I paid for it, hence avoiding getting a real job, I can say that is probably not true...
Also, $40 isn't really that much- not by UK standards anyway!

you guys, its just a different kind of shirt that some like and some dont. i like it a lot actually, i just dont want to buy it necessarily.

and they arent "raising prices" in any way. they have shirts in all categories of prices because of different printing methods and shirt quality and other factors.

everyone, stop bitching.

ginetteginette on Apr 07 '08 at 12:42pm

If you don't like it don't buy it. That's what I do and it seems to be working pretty well so far.

1. what do you know about anything? all you do is criticise, you must be a miserable person

2. 'good friends' at threadless?! by the way you always shoot designs down, calling you a 'friend' would be an insult

3. *pokes tongue*

I actually think it's really cool of Threadless to explore different methods of making shirts. It's innovative and this shirt is awesome. That being said, I can't afford it but I'm glad that it's available to those who can buy it and $40 is actually quite reasonable considering that it's a more labor intensive process. Much more.
Kookaberry
Kookaberry on Apr 07 '08 at 6:21pm
People that bitch about shirts costing a lot always make me think that they'd rather save a dollar on a product even if it meant that child labor in third world countries are making it.
LINK2DPAST
LINK2DPAST on Apr 07 '08 at 6:24pm
While I do appreciate the innovation of it, I find this particular shirt ugly as well. That being said, I can understand why some people would like it and let them like it without posting negative blogs about it.
shoppin
shoppin on Apr 07 '08 at 7:17pm
Sure, appreciate the printing process, etc. but I don't even think you can be very objective with this kind of design. It's ugly to me too.

@shobattack: I'd like to think I know a fair bit about art and design, as I did go to school for it, and pardon me if I don't think that every design deserves to have rainbows and ice cream shit onto it. Some designs are pure rubbish and deserve to be told as such.

Secondly, I was being facetious.

Finally, *blows you a raspberry*
ginetteginette
ginetteginette on Apr 07 '08 at 7:53pm
going to school for art and design doesn't automatically give one good taste.
auxocrome
auxocrome on Apr 07 '08 at 8:49pm
Even though I don't like this particular design, I would defintiely shill out AU$43.15 + postage for an individually dip-dyed tee. They'd charge about five times that amount for it in a rl store, anyways.

So each to their own, I guess. (Wow, this was the most useless comment ever. :p)

lol yourhero who do you think you are - the art design police?! your opinion is worth crap, thats why your not a talkback radio host. i think some designs are crap too, i dont take the time and pleasure making blogs and commenting and destroying it. lets see you become a respected art critic before i treat your opinions like gold.

i shud just be like every1 else and ignore your useless rants.......
Yourhero
Yourhero on Apr 08 '08 at 12:42pm
@shobattack: "lets see you become a respected art critic before i treat your opinions like gold."

So for one to dole out criticism, one needs to be a radio host, or respected art critic, yet, to administer praise, one must only have, what? A positive attitude? A smiley face sticker in art class?

I'll be employing the very same tactic against you my friend. Let me know when you get that degree from respected art critic school.

"iDanSimpson: PEOPLE DIED MAKING THIS SHIRT!!"

ginetteginette on Apr 08 '08 at 12:52pm
i don't think anyone really cares how you criticize things yourhero nor are they telling you that you can't but when you spout things as if they're facts ex: "Some designs are pure rubbish and deserve to be told as such."
^ that's where people get defensive.
