Shirts as Van Gogh
A pretty cool exhibit in Tokyo somewhere. A cool video of polo shirts being used to recreate a Van Gogh self-portrait. Who knew polo shirts could be so cool?
Graniph takes on Hello Kitty
As I tweeted not that long ago, Graniph did some work on their website and while I am not all that impressed with the result aesthetically, I love the new larger images and non-flash viewing of their products. Very nice. And I guess from now on when I post about Graniph tees you will have larger better pics to gaze… Read more →
Stormtroopers invade Harajuku
I mentioned a while ago that there was a Star Wars t-shirt event in Uniqlo Ginza and Uniqlo’s UT Harajuku stores. I didn’t have a chance to attend but a couple of Japanese bloggers did. Even if you can’t read Japanese you can enjoy the photos. Check out these two Japanese Star Wars fan sites to see more pictures. Japanese… Read more →
Star Wars T-Shirts coming to UT
Star Wars fans: mark your calendars. Uniqlo have announced that they will be releasing a Star Wars line on March 3rd 6th in the Harajuku UT store as well as Uniqlo Ginza. So if you are in Tokyo on that day you might want to check it out. They note that Boba Fett won’t be making an appearance at the… Read more →
Sweet Zebra Tee at UT
This is a very pretty t-shirt for girls and if you like zebras all the better. This is available in the US but you have to order it by email if you can believe that. You’d think that Japan’s richest man would get that e-commerce store set up. Shiro to Kuro means black and white…well actually means white and black…. Read more →

Edo Label looking for t-shirt designers
I haven’t been posting as much as I’d like recently but hopefully I will get back in the groove soon. Of course I did have a virus on my pc and my web sites were hacked but the fact is that I have just been pretty busy recently. One of the things that I have been busy with is Edo… Read more →
Cannes Lions T-Shirt Grand Prix 2009 Winners
Last November I told you about the Cannes Lions T-Shirt Grand Prix and now I present the winners to you. Sounds formal. LOL. Anyways, back then I couldn’t find any information about a cash prize and still can’t but one of my readers said there was a cash prize of about one million yen and for the Cannes Lions T-Shirt… Read more →
Two New Tees from TAB
Tokyo Art Beat have released two t-shirts just in time for the summer. I have to say that I am a little disappointed that they didn’t have a model shoot like they did the first time I mentioned them in this blog. I guess it could be another sign of the economic downturn that has gripped Japan. The shirts on… Read more →
Cafepress and Upsold Collaboration
As some of you must know by now, Rude Retro is based in Japan. Because of that I have of course checked out some Japanese PODs. Even if I haven’t gotten off my lazy ass and actually opened an account with one and uploaded the designs. All the ones I have seen are pretty ugly or don’t have a good… Read more →
