Any colour but grass . . .

about Unusual Gentleman

I absolutely LOVE this design. The Magritte references are fantastic.

But I really can't stand the grass colour. I absolutely would have bought it otherwise. It does NOT suit the piece AT ALL. Why couldn't the girl's version have been printed on silver instead? That colour is totally underused.

I would also rather see the silver used in lieu of heather grey, generally, as I find the heather grey generally just looks cheap and unflattering. The silver is soooooooo nice.

actually grass is a lot more underused than silver is. everyone would have their own opinion on the colors, like i would absolutely hate this design on silver and would keep me from buying it, while this grass is not so bad to me. i still prefer sagestone though, which is why i think it is very unfair that two different colors are printed.

AA doesn't have a sagestone.

spires on Nov 06 '06 at 7:14pm

Sagestone isn't an AA color. I think AA needs greater color variety.

buy the guys version then. that's what I'd do, but I'm broke.

and I agree, the grass color doesn't work the the design.

it's actually not so bad up close:

the placement and sizing on the girl's version is preferable, but that green color is really bad for this design.

Congrats Ricco!!!

I'm sad too, green looks horrific on me. I wish AA had a colour like sagestone, I love neutrals, but in its absence, sea foam and silver are gorgeous and very underutilized.

Westwood on Nov 06 '06 at 7:19pm

I was just going to say seafoam or silver definitely would have been better suited to this design.

spires on Nov 06 '06 at 7:22pm

Most of the AA colors go unused. I wonder if Threadless gets bulk discounts on specific colors.

numbb on Nov 06 '06 at 7:22pm

i think the green looks nice. and nowi know why, thank you

Actually for the first time ever I like the girl color more than the guy's. Poetic Irony and Doin my best both had disgusting colors.

evrfixedmark on Nov 06 '06 at 8:49pm

yeah i was really bummed out about the girl's color of poetic irony. i don't think the green is too bad on this print but i like the softness of the sagestone. i think light blue would have been a better choice for girls. but oh well. win some, lose some.

love both this design and "I hate Sushi", but grass ruins the design. It's such a shame! Regardless, this week's prints are awesome.

How to the guy sizes compare to girl sizes? (guy S for a girly M?) I realize the fitting is really different, but is it that bad? I'm really disappointed in the green. Wouldn't a light blue have been more fitting for the Magritte going on here?

ladykat on Nov 06 '06 at 9:43pm

jellenfish, if you like your tees fitted, the guys' S will be a bit loose for you... i usually wear a girly L and in guys' tees, i go for S

Small guys shirts are too large for me, so that's not an option for me.

And green shirts in that colour look awful on most people, and particularly on me. I took one look at this, adored it, went to hit buy, and the noticed it was on Grass. Colour me a sad panda.

Sob.

Not another grass green shirt. Sorry guys, until the girl's version are on the same color, no can buy! Why are so many designs on green? Would people normally buy 4 or 5 green shirts? I don't think so.
