Dream Gold is an indie brand based out Toronto with the mission to share the lifestyle of well-being and supremacy through their love for fashion and the arts. They just released their second line of tees and I have to say that based on the preview photos, it is far improved from their first release. I love how they built on their initial Heart of Gold tee and delivered two tees that are bold and full of fun. They’ve also got a slew of buttons for you to choose from.
The two new tees, Aqua Biceps and Psychowl are both printed on American Apparel blanks and are available now from the Dream Gold online shop. The shirts are priced at $19.95 a piece but you can score both shirts for just $30.95 by picking up the Golden Deal offer. You can actually pick up 2 of any of the four new shirts with the Golden Deal offer. My suggestion – pick one up for you and your girl (or vice versa)! And if you decide to pick something up then use the coupon code “COTY” and score 15% off your entire purchase! With the coupon code the price of the Golden Deal offer drops to about $25 – such an awesome deal!
A week or two ago I received a package from Dream Gold so expect to see a review of one of their new shirts on Co-Tee TV very soon!
In this episode of Co-Tee TV I wear Heroes In An Art Shell by Jon Hillier and review Expression of the Moment by Enso Threads, a high end clothing line from New York. Powered by imagination and supported by creativity, Enso Threads takes a unique look at everything. They combine influences from asian culture with our own artistic values and life experiences to produce clean, simple and wearable fashion.

Coty’s Thoughts:
Expression of the Moment by Enso Threads.Pros: Enso Threads is an interesting and unique brand with a philosophical angle to their designs. T-Shirts are individually packaged in plastic bags inside of the mailer to protect the T-Shirt during shipment. Affordable at just $16. Printed on an American Apparel blank, so you know what to expect when it comes to size and fit. Comes with a screen printed label and is tagless. Custom hang tag for a professional look and feel. Cons: Some people might not be a fan of the odd print placement. I was skeptical about it myself but when I received the product I liked how it looked on me. Price: $16.00
I’ve been meaning to post this Omunky tee for some time now and I finally remembered to do just that! The shirt is called Tiger Turmoil and it features a rather quirky monkey with a problem. It’s got a little, err, sorta huge mosquito sitting on its nose. I can totally feel that tigers pain since I’m not the biggest mosquito fan. Mosquitos are nasty! Anyhow, checkout Tiger Turmoil at Omunky and pick one up for $22 and remember to use the code “COTY” at checkout to save an additional 15% off your entire purchase.
“The tiger, the largest land carnivore, is a solitary hunter. With its extreme strength and agility, it will often take down its prey with sudden force after emerging from a perfectly concealed hiding spot. The tiger is so strong that it is able to…to.. to…. Oh my! What is that!? Ahhh! Is it moving? Ew! Get it away, get it away! Just swat it off or something! Ugh…. Well I just totally lost my train of thought. Where were we?”
And while I’ve got your attention, be sure to checkout a special sale Omunky is having. Buy Ryan Raccoon today and get Getaway Gorilla for free! Two Omunky tees for the price of one – yay!
In this episode of Co-Tee TV I wear Bombs Away by Dale Edwin Murray and available at Tilteed and review The Eagle Has Landed by Nineteen Ten Co., a brand based out of Santa Clarita, California. Nineteen Ten Co. strives to to continuously bring culturally threaded designs and colors together to create stylish, comfortable and responsible clothing.

Coty’s Thoughts:
The Eagle Has Landed by Nineteen Ten Co.Pros: Amazing packaging! Nineteen Ten Co. obviously spent a lot of time focusing on branding and it shows though their well thought out packaging. Design is printed on a 100% cotton American Apparel tee which is always a plus because of comfort and fit. Brand emphasizes that fair trade and fair labor materials are used in their products. Bunch of extras packaged with the shirt, including stickers and postcards. Cons: Not tagless. Graphic on shirt reminds me a bit of something I would find at American Eagle. Price: $22.
In this episode of Co-Tee TV I wear a Jack Johnson concert tee from the 2008 Kokua Festival and review Rhino Hunter from Sharp Shirter, a brand based in Bethesda, Maryland and run by Dan Lachman.

Coty’s Thoughts:
Rhino Hunter by Sharp Shirter.Pros: Rhino Hunter is a fun shirt and the first purple tee I’ve reviewed. Perfect for animal lovers with a wild and spunky personality! Sharp Shirter uses American Apparel blanks so expect a comfortable and soft tee. The print is fairly large and has a soft feel. Cons: Other than being a bit pricey for a single color print, I have no other complaints for this seemingly perfect rhino tee. Price: $22.

So I’ve be a bit amused by the site People of Walmart and spent some time the other day perusing their archives. The one thing that I noticed, other than an assortment of very obese and obscene people, was the collection of naughty and sometimes disturbing T-Shirts. I thought I’d share with you a few of them. And by the way, as these images are from People of Walmart, they might be profane and obscene to some, so assume from the get go assume that they are NSFW.
Ironically, this tee is produced in Hawaii by a brand called Poi Pounder Shirts. Who would’ve thought? Pick one up for $18.
Airastile (air-a-style) is the creation of Santa Fe, New Mexico based designer and illustrator, David Medrano. If you’re wondering what Airastile means, don’t think too hard because there is no meaning. Medrano didn’t want his brand categorized or defined by a specific genre, instead, he wanted the people that wore the brand to define it – Airastile is what you want it to be.
You’ve got to love the name of this shirt. Candy Bars In Flight – love it! And you know what, I have to admit that this past October was a bad month for me. Bad in that I consumed much more candy then I should have! I have a problem. Whenever the big holidays roll along I become a sucker for those candy packs that litter the shelves at the local drug store. You know what I am talking about, a bag of 50 mini Snicker bars for $2.5o. I end up buying a gazillion bags. I’m such a bad boy when it comes to candy. I have a sweet tooth. And that is why Candy Bars In Flight is the perfect shirt for me during the months of October, November and December. All of those months of have major holidays! Oh man.
Candy Bars In Flight is printed on a black organic cotton tee and is available now from Omunky for $22. Even better, you can save 15% by using the coupon code “COTY” at checkout. Score!
Our friends at 410BC just unveiled their Winter ‘09 and it’s as impressive as ever. Along with the expected T-Shirt fare, they’ve also got button down shirts, sweaters and hoodies. I have to say that over the past year and a half that I have blogging about T-Shirts, 410BC is the brand that I have seen grow the most. They have definitely created a distinct look all their own.
The tees are priced between $24 – $28 but remember that you can save 20% off your entire order if you use the coupon code “coty” at checkout. But if you’d like an even better deal then you’ll need to check back on Halloween because 410BC will be holding a 24hour Halloween Day 50% off sale. That’s right, 50% off. Crazy? I know.
I love it when new brands contact me excited about their product because it gets me excited! Rick Waters from new clothing brand, Omunky, recently contacted me about his newest tee, Harry Hippo. Of course, I head on over and check out the Omunky products and am intrigued the offerings. If you read this blog you know that I am a sucker for character pieces. Harry Hippo and Gabe The Gorilla are both characters in the current Omunky line. The best part is that each of the tees come with a background story about the character featured on the shirt. My favorite from the pair has got to be Getaway Gorilla – love that shirt!
Omunky refers to itself as an eco-friendly t-shirt ocmpany. They used organic cottons and pre-consumer recycled preshrunk cotton. Omunky shirts are available now from $20-$22.
