ya 20 is great. but maybe it has more to do with illustration? I don’t see how it highlights typography.

from other point of view:-))

Having had a go at this, I think the distinctive challenge here is to make the shirt visually interesting and still primarily typographic or lettering, rather than illustration.

In this batch, 28.006 does a nice job of this.

How hard it is to make a good shirt that is mainly typographic I think illustrates how type’s design is based on its almost always being supportive, rather than the center of attention.

I’m liking 28.004 — not sure how your job case shirt is wearing, but mine was all cracked after just two washings, so I’m leaning toward the designs with less ink.

28.027 is cool too — makes me think of a mandala.

Me too, Tiffany. Just from this crop I have a completely new top 3, but with 130+ still to post I’m going to wait…

Mica, my job case shirt is cracked as well. It’s beautiful.

» but mine was all cracked after just two washings

apologies Mica.
you gotta wash them inside out (gently with Woolite

We talk as much about laundry as t-shirt designs in this thread.

It can be difficult to find a screenprinter that can really manage large coverage areas. It took me quite a white to get one to do our company shirt properly printed with its 10x12 print area and 8-color imprint (it used to be 13 colors!). We tell our customers the same washing advice, bj.

Time to weed through all the new designs and find a top three. I need a large glass of wine.

Well I have still yet to even GET my shirt(s) ;(
Not sure what happened there.

hildebrant.

I’m waiting too for my T’s.

I really like 023… I just wish it was some color other than black.

28.001 and 28.002 and 28.013 – Man. I’m going to edit my last email once they are all in.

Mine’s still in mint condition. My mom taught me how
to properly wash clothes.

28.002 is very similar to the P22 shirt…

28.020 :-))) nice!
