149 T-shirt Blogs

In November I wrote about the Hide Your Arms mega list of 65 t-shirt blogs. Andy the amazing author behind Hide Your Arms has updated the list to an amazing number of 149 T-shirt Blogs. I am trying to update my google reader to see which ones I am missing.

This list is amazing, thank you Andy for providing a short bio and an update frequency for each of the blogs.

What are you favorite t-shirt blogs?

The History of The T-Shirt & Shirts with History

I was browsing around T-shirtMagazine.com (see past blog posts about T-shirt Magazine here) and I stumbled across this history of the t-shirt.

Here are 3 things I learned about the t-shirt from this article:

  • there are many theories about what it is called a “t-shirt”
  • t-shirts did not become a wardrobe staple until after WWI
  • the first campaign t-shirt was created after WWII

Here are some other places that sell shirts with a history:

TV T’s - My Boys

I thought it was time for another post about t-shirts on the big screen. This time I am expanding to television. I have been noticing some great t-shirts on the TBS show MyBoys. The character Brendan (and some of the other characters) is wearing a great t-shirt in almost every scene.

It turns out that many of these t-shirts are from the shop WornFree.com - they resurrect and sell vintage t-shirts.

What other tv shows and movies have great t-shirts?

TwitterFeed - Automatically Send Your Feed to Your Twitter Account

Thanks to Matthew of MilitantGeek for sharing this great idea in the comments.

Twitterfeed lets you add an RSS feed that automatically updates your twitter feed.  Plus it lets you customize how often updates are posted.  I have set this up for the Spreadshirt blog.  I haven’t tried this yet but I think you could also add your rss feed for your shop to Twitterfeed.

How are you using twitter to promote your shop or talk about t-shirt?

Text for Your Neck

I just found this scarf featured on the Craft blog.

Since we are big fan’s of *text t-shirts here at Spreadshirt, I thought this was worth sharing.  I really like  the way the letter look when they are smooshed together like they are in the scarf.  I think you could so some really great t-shirt designs with some text like that.

My Top 3 Favorite T-shirts - Happy T-shirt Day

It is now officially T-shirt Day!  Happy T-shirt Day to you!  I decided that I couldn’t choose just one favorite t-shirt so I am going to share my top 3.

Here are my top 3 favorites t-shirts from top to bottom:

  1. PGH love t-shirt - this is my favorite Spreadshirt t-shirt, a subtle way to show which part of the state of PA is my favorite.  I love the gold metallic  on the black t-shirt.
  2.  nantucket t-shirt - I love this t-shirt because it was a gift from my friend rachel. this t-shirt is really starting to wear and it is super soft. I almost always take it with me when I travel.  It is from the t-shirt shop Anne and the Tees.
  3. Steeler Nation - this is my one Steelers t-shirt and I love it. This t-shirt was designed by my friends at Commonwealth Press.  I love the silhouettes of the fans waving their terrible towels.  I love this t-shirt soo much that I only wear it on very special occasions because I never want it to wear out.
