Cheap Awesome T-Shirts?

jhunter46jhunter46 Registered User regular
edited April 2010 in Help / Advice Forum
A recent washing machine accident has dramatically reduced my inventory of t-shirts. As much as I love PA, Jinx and Thinkgeek I'd rather pick five or six shirts up for 10 dollars a shot rather than 17 to 20.

Where can I get some awesome/funny shirts on the cheap?

    you know, this could be a great chance to reduce the amount of immature silkscreened shirts in your closet, and start an adult wardrobe.

    (notice I say reduce, not dispose of completely, it is good to have a few silly shirts for just lounging around the house in)

    baring that, I also would recommend shirt.woot, they have some neat designs sometimes, and are pretty cheap too.

    I'm comfortable with my adult wardrobe. I dry clean all of that anyway but for just tooling around, immature t-shirts are for me. I'm married, I don't need to impress anyone anyway.

    gotcha, I just know a lot of man-children who are in their late 20's to 30's and they only wear the same shit they have since junior high ya know? haha but that's not your case so shirt.woot it up. I especially love the shirt 8th on the reckoning, it's one of my favorite shirts I own.

    you can check out teefury too, though I find a lot less that I like there than at shirt.woot

    This right here. I've gotten so many damn awesome shirts from woot.shirt it's insane. It's best to pick them up day one though, because as soon as the next day starts they'll be $15 instead of $10.

    I like http://www.threadless.com/ , yes I know they are about $20 now but if you are quick on the trigger finger during their sales, they are wonderful. I would say that the shirt quality is pretty damn good as well.

    I bought a bunch. They seem a little on the small size compared to other shirts. And one of them had the seam come undone on the collar right in front. So that one's pretty much shot.

    I was going to suggest Shirts.woot.com but looks like a lot of people beat me to it.

    Pretty much all of my current t-shirts have came from there. Most of their designs are poo, but some are just excellent. I tend to go for the subtle pictures with little-to-no words on them. Anyone else?

    I used to wear nothing but solid color shirts, but since I found shirt.woot, I can't help myself. That they're $10 on day one with free shipping doesn't hurt any either.

    Would that most of these people be able to fit in shirts they wore in Jr High. From my experience these guys have to tack a few Xs on their label.

    If you want absolutely want graphic tees, then that's fine, but I'd thought I'd throw this out:

    A few years ago I moved my casual dress from graphic or band t-shirts and jeans to just white t-shirts and jeans, and it's served me very well.

    Designs on t-shirts are fine if done well, but I feel like most of the stuff out there, even if interesting/amusing/whatever at first, just don't work so well on clothing.

    Obviously if you do go the white t-shirt route make sure they fit well and are spotless.

    I would make an effort to buy their shirts printed on American Apparel tees, they're a bit longer than normal shirts and do not shrink very much, I have been very satisfied with their fit. They also have their own Fine Jersey shirt as well, which are shorter than AA shirts but come preshrunk, however I haven't tried these myself so I can't speak for how they compare.

    They usually have $10 tee sales every few months, their spring sale was a little less than a month ago, and IIRC they usually have a sale around June.

    www.teefury.com has a new shirt every 24 hours for 9 bucks and they're actually pretty good shirts that won't make you look obnoxious

    edit: welp beaten on the second page but leaving this here for this page as well because it's awesome!!

    http://www.wakeuptimetodie.co.uk/index.asp has some great movie inspired shirts

    Also this, it's fine to have 1 or 2 kind of nerdy/weird shirts, but if your entire closet is made up of shirts from that woot site, you're going to get labeled as 'that guy'

    I wouldn't stop at just white ts though. You could get some button downs and other various "nice" shirts that you can wear if you're going out to a more upscale bar/dinner or just feel like being particularly snazzy one day.
