Sorry for the delay folk, I know I said that I’d have this up every Monday but last night was a special exception – I saw an advanced screening of The Watchmen! Awesome stuff. Anyhow, this week, Threadless released a great crop of tees, a couple of which earned two winks from me! What do you guys think of this weeks Threadless releases?Â
You Are What You Eat by Doubletake Clothing is the follow up to the brands initial and immensely popular release, Bears, Beets and Battlestar. With the newest shirt, Doubletake continues to take tackle humor head on. And having spoke to the Doubletake people, this won’t be the last time you see a dinosaur on a Doubletake T-Shirt! That’s a good thing because I love me some dinosaurs! The design is printed on a green American Apparel tee and is available for $20.00.Â
The best part is that you can save 10% on this tee and Bears, Beets and Battlestar with the coupon code “COTYEATS10SUSHI”. Thanks Doubletake!
If Batman ever decided to go green and reinvent the Batmobile (or Tumblr) so that it was a fuel efficient bad boy, then this is what it would look like. Artist rubyred designed this tee, appropriately named Bat-Tuk-Tuk. You can pick it up now from Redbubble for $26.53. I found the tee description entertaining:Â
“Alfred decided the next evolution of the Batmobile should be a little cheaper and more environmentally friendly. And, after Batman destroyed the Tumbler, he thought as punishment, he should be responsible for keeping it clean. Batman was not too impressed…”
Looks like the White House has requested the help of 25 of the countries top young entrepreneurs, and it looks like Jake Nickell, Threadless Co-Founder and Chief Strategic Officer will be there.

Well we wait to see the outcome of this meeting, check out this video of MSNBC profiling Threadless.
Letters From John is an interesting concept, to say the least. John Tootabeanie (that’s what he’s calling himself) is the chief architect of Letters From John, a brand that takes bathroom graffiti to the next level – by printing them on T-Shirts!Â
I did feel a bit cheated while perusing the website, though. Despite the fact that the t-shirts are all designed in the same style (single color black and white) and has a certain gallery feel to it, something was lacking. I felt that they should have more background about the graffiti on the individual product pages like where the original graffiti was found (location) and maybe the original picture that was taken to go along with the product shot. That would definitely make the store much more interesting! That is, if these really are original pieces of bathroom graffiti.
Having said that, I really dig the concept and want to see more bathroom graffiti prints from Letters From John.Â
