4 Tees to pack to go to India.

At my last count I think I have 33, you can see in my product photos or in my about me column on the right.

I only need to take 4 with me and I cannot decide which, I like em all! I have narrowed it down to darker colours, leaving the creme and white ones aside, but still there are too many to choose...

Which 4 would you pick?

Oh yeah if you wanna receive a postcard from Lonkiponk and I, either leave your details in her blog or send me your address to: mountain dot gnome at Yahoo dot co dot uk

Me, I'd actually take my LEAST favourite shirts if I were you!
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 8:21am
I was considering that, cos I may give them away there....
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 8:22am
That is also why its only 4 and not more....
Krakaboom
   Krakaboom on Feb 04 '09 at 8:28am
Lol ok, that was so not what I had in mind :) I just thought that travelling couldn't possibly be good for your shirts' wellbeing.

But still, giving them away is a really nice idea. What would you wear after that, tho?
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 8:42am
Traditional Indian garments that I bought there.

But I would only give them away if I REALLY HAD TO, like if my backpack would not close otherwise.... :-)
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 8:42am
Oh yeah and the older Threadless shirts are certainly more hard wearing! Thicker material!
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 8:45am
Like Geology and Voyage of Discovery are both on the old brown AA shirts. VOD is a bit big so one shirt I have put aside is Geology.

I'm wearing Invasion today, and The Great Escape is a good one to take, although one that I would be heartbroken to give away
bcrider
bcrider on Feb 04 '09 at 9:04am
My Crony, We Were Tomatoes, Invasion, & A Tall Tale.

Each is a different color... and... yeah. That's about my only reasoning. Because I'm nuts like that. LOL

I hope you two have a GREAT time; I dropped Lonneke an email for a postcard and I'll send you guys one from Arizona when I go in April!
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 9:10am
bcrider those is a good suggestions, Thanks, two Walmazan's in that bunch ;-) Probably will chose the tomatoes!
bcrider
bcrider on Feb 04 '09 at 9:32am
Oh, yeah!!! Tomatoes for sure if you're deciding between the two; I also really like Identity Crisis. I wear that at LEAST once a week. It's so comfy!!!
Lonkiponk
Lonkiponk on Feb 04 '09 at 9:40am
Haha, Becky.
Choosing four different colors was one of the things I suggested too.
I'm funny like that.......
Chengui

Take the ones that girl is in.
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 10:19am
Chengui, I'll just stick with taking that girl with me! Ha Ha LOL!
bcrider
bcrider on Feb 04 '09 at 10:47am
LOL

As if anyone in another country would be aware you're wearing different-colored shirts from day-to-day...

I'm so weird like that. I'm wearing a lime-ish green sweater today and I wore a lime-ish green polo shirt yesterday, and it's making me INSANE. No one cares! What's wrong with me? LOL

I agree with Chengui; just wear Lonneke! She's quite fashionable and I bet she'll keep you warm. :D
Lonkiponk
Lonkiponk on Feb 04 '09 at 10:52am
LOL
And I would never be the same colour twice
:D

I know light shirts would get muckier, but they'd be cooler if youre going somewhere where its going to be toasty.

ROFL

What's the temperature there like right now?
Lonkiponk
Lonkiponk on Feb 04 '09 at 11:14am
about 24 degrees in Delhi.

Perfect for me.
bcrider
bcrider on Feb 04 '09 at 11:27am
*is jealous*

it's -8 C here with a windchill of -19.

I'm seriously over it. Especially since this weekend it's supposed to reach 10 C. All this up and down is going to give us all the sickies. Bleah.

Lonkiponk on Feb 04 '09 at 11:31am
It's snowing in Holland too.
So I'm happy to escape all that, to come back only when spring has arrived.
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 12:09pm
another spanner in the works, I've decided to take Wotto's Tree huggin' bright green organic fairtrade cotton with me, so that only leaves space for 3 other Threadless tees.
so far:
1. We were Tomatoes
2. Geology
3. ?????? tee

I would go for a Tall Tale, but then I'd have a bright green, Olive, a light green tee and a brown tee... Too much green... The last tee will probably be a charcoal coloured one....
Lonkiponk
Lonkiponk on Feb 04 '09 at 1:12pm
how about taking a tall tale, and then the great escape in stead of tomatoes?
bcrider
bcrider on Feb 04 '09 at 1:29pm
^ agreed.
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 04 '09 at 1:48pm
Yeah but I really want a product picture of me in India in The tomatoes tee, but I am also not adverse to all greens and one brown, cos I am NOT funny like that! LOL!
Lonkiponk
Lonkiponk on Feb 04 '09 at 2:01pm
*Worries about looking at a green gnome for three months, as I'm sensitive to these things*
bcrider
bcrider on Feb 04 '09 at 2:15pm
A green gnome might indicate infection...

I really do like tomatoes over nearly all the other W designs, but you know... :D

I'd say mine, but my radio guy is most likely agoraphobic, you should only wear it in your basement.
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 05 '09 at 5:41am
Againstbound, I really like your radio dude, but your tee is staying safely folded in my cupboard, however I'm still undecided on that last tee....

YAY and there's a nice list here of people who are gonna get postcards!
Mountain Gnome
Mountain Gnome on Feb 06 '09 at 7:54am
All packed and ready to go, in my bag I have 4 tees and they are:
Tree Huggin by Wotto, on a hard wearing bright green organic fairtrade tee from Fair and Bare (Great quality tees there BTW)


We Were Tomatoes By Walmazan

Keep an eye out for a the product picture from India

Geology by Tim Babbs

Because it is a great tee, and is on a AA shirt that is somewhat tougher than a regular Threadless brand tee.

and the last one......

We are All made of Carbon By Matthew Elliot

It is one of my older more worn Slate Tees and has a great message on it.

a pair of jeans and a pair of 3/4 pants a pair of slops and some underwear and I'm ready to go!
