Coty’s Thoughts:

Isometric by EIO (Excess Is OK) Clothing. Pros: The tee from EIO Clothing has got to be THE softest shirt that I have ever had the pleasure of trying on. It’s even softer than that Finroo tee I reviewed a few months back. The shirt is just perfect, not too thin and yet not to thick and it feels great against your skin. It’s a trendy shirt, yes, and would probably best be suited for a night out to a club (maybe throw on a blazer and you’ll be good to go). The black and gold print is soft to the touch and does not weigh down the T-Shirt at all. Isometric features cut and sew elements with a custom neck tag and custom tag on the lower left portion of the shirt. Comes wrapped in tissue paper. Cons: A bit pricey, but then again, this is a high fashion T-Shirt made with high quality materials. Some people might not like that the length is made to come just below the belt. Price: £29.95 ($48 US)

EIO Clothing Excess Is OK

Evolution of War by Crazy Dog T-Shirts. Pros: Fun design that’s perfect for any World of Warcraft addict (and we all know at least one of those). The Alstyle T-Shirt provides a nice fit that is comparable to American Apparel and the cotton feels good. Affordable at just $16.99. Cons: Not tagless, ink used for printing is a bit thick. Price: $16.99 (Use the code “HOHOHO” at checkout to score $5 off).

App Review #1: Remote

So I thought I’d try something a bit different for the site. If you’re a regular reader here at cotygonzales.com then you know that I am passionate not only about T-Shirts but also the Apple platform and all that entails. I’d like to start a regular video segment for the site were I, the captain of this intrepid blog, review my favorite iPhone applications.

I start with an app that I’ve had on my iPhone for a while now but never got around to playing with until this past week. It’s the Remote app from Apple. The Remote app is an excellent way to control your iTunes Library or Apple TV from a distance. Here’s what I had to say:

Coty’s Thoughts:

Lend You A Hand by Joe Choe and available at tFuse. Good: The hand print is massively impressive! The shirt itself is super soft. Tagless for itchfree comfort, love that! Awesome design. The print is pretty soft but not super soft. Bad: Great shirt, my only complaint is: the packaging (which has nothing to do with the product because I think the shirt itself is flawless)! For such an awesome shirt, I just wish they paid a little more attention to the packaging details. Price: $19

Lend A Hand by Joe Choe for tFuse

 Turtle Power by Cryface and available at Integral Apparel. Good: Fun design, especially for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans! Love the bright yellow of this Alstyle tee. Custom hangtags with washing instructions attached. Bad: Not tagless, wish that the print was a bit larger. Price: $19.80.
