Wanna see the REAL threadless ripping off? go to Thailand(or just check this blog)
Hello dears.
I'm back from Thailand and i want to show you how many threadless fakes i found down there. Yep, beside diesel,abercrombie,cartier and tons of "main stream" brands, i was so lucky to see ripped off Threadless material in many many shops(and i assumed they sell a lot: many morons wearing them on the streets...).
Here a selection of pics, but you know, there was more and more. either in bangkok or in islands.
^Some of you may know that non-threadless design...
I saw at least 10 versions of stuck with pins' theme.ripping off a thief made me sort of bitter laughing...
^And that was the biggest surprise: they stole my "temptation" sub even if not printed(that shop had a couple of other unprinted subs)! I've been such of lucky on find it, it was a small shop in a pretty huge market. I didnt know if should i be sad or happy about that...anyways, i bought it, forgive my vanity..
So, WE ARE DEFINITELY FAMOUS!
aren't we?

i couldnt believe my eyes whren i saw my sub printed.it was the last piece, the guy in the shop told me he sold many of that but...never trust a thai shopper..
speedyjvw
oh man i hope you called them out on this shit hard core
chelly

I'd love to have seen the persons face if you had told them you designed that shirt and not given permission for it to be printed. Then insisted they removed it from the shop and destroyed them else you were going to ring the cops.
theperk
i didn't think my shop was big enough to get ripped off! i didn't even have a big version of the image anywhere! any of my subs printed there erik?
fastjumper
well consider that there are streets full of shops in wich you can find diesel,rolex,nike,adidas,abercrombie and go on....that companyes seems to can not do anything against this phenomenon. its not on the shops itself obviously:there are factorys that works only like this, and the demand is probably very high..most of them come from china i guess
fastjumper
yep josh i've seen the optimistic one
fastjumper
lol the internet is big enough for that i guess
(matthijs)
djeezz, that's insane. But did you also get the 'I went to Thailand and all I got was this fake Threadless shirt' shirt?
plastikaa
its funny how they do it so obviosuly though... if they used one of two designs they could possible get away with it. But the fact they do loads and p[ut them all together in the shop. And whats with the different labels... they made by different companies but then somehow all end up in the same rack in the same shop?
staffell
ZOMG!!! and Hi Eric!
pilihp
yikes! i think i'll start incorporating my name or something into my designs so i have proof i created it. tsk tsk Thailand, shame on you :(
Luke...

phones
holy shit- mystery of mission 5 on white! Is it too late to go back and get me one?
fastjumper
phones on Sep 20 '06 at 2:31pm I can see them- wow that's hardcore insanity!!! Did they ask why you took so many photos? heh they were looking at me strange but they didnt asked nothing.they probably thought i was a stylist. or a stupid...
plastikaa
You should have picked your shirt up and just walked out the shop without paying... then on the acusation of theft you can just tell them taking what is already yours isnt theft.
fastjumper
hehe many palettes are changed..and the quality of prints is crappy in most of them
phones
hahaha doing a spread for 'threadless magazine'
sonmi
holy crap
Luke...
i have nothing against the people of thailand or anyone that is thai, but it would be really funny if a bunch of "anti thai tees designs" were sent their way, just as a fun little jab.
tikitoaster
so how much do they charge for a shirt?
alacyt
This makes me reluctant to submit anything. Anyone printed care about getting ripped off?
.moto.
thailand is a dirty pit of t shirt scandal.
fastjumper
i told to the guy on the shop: HEY THATS MY FUCKING DESIGN MAN!!! he started looking at me as i was stoned... so i got it for a special price and i left the shop
.moto.
they printed fastjumpers extra tasty sub! bastards..
Luke...
nope, i got paid...i cant realistically hope for anymore cash for my product, besides i would be much angrier about non-printed designs getting stolen...i just hope that i can be printed again, so that more thai people can sport me designs...haha
OlliRudi
insane. but i kinda want a few anyway. especially temptation(why the hell didn't threadless print that?) as the historic saying goes, "it's not stealing if it's in asia"
.moto.
oh... you are fastjumper. lol
(matthijs)
alacyt, if I can feed 10 thai families by them ripping of my shirts, it's alright with me ;)
fastjumper
tikitoaster on Sep 20 '06 at 2:38pm so how much do they charge for a shirt? i payed for my own design like 3 bloody dollars Luke... on Sep 20 '06 at 2:38pm i have nothing against the people of thailand or anyone that is thai, but it would be really funny if a bunch of "anti thai tees designs" were sent their way, just as a fun little jab. if they wouild sell, they would steal that too
