| It appears that spring is here and the double-digit temperatures can mean only one thing: T-shirt season has arrived.
For some it's a chance to shop the mega-malls and bring home a host of shirts displaying the clothing label of their choice; for others it is a ruthless game of thrift shop scouring to find the ultimate vintage tee. I prefer to avoid the crowds and let my search engine do all the work.
The perfect balance of cheeky, original and affordable can be found at dieselsweeties.com. For $53 US (including shipping) you can order a three-pack of shirts in a variety of sizes and colours. Must-haves include "Chewie is my co-pilot," "I had an Ipod before you even knew what one was" and "My name is M.C. Menses and my flow be fresh." Some styles can even be ordered as messenger bags, caps or stickers. Diesel Sweeties, in addition to hosting a T-shirt haven, is a web comic from Richard Stevens, so be sure to read a strip or two before heading out.
Radrowdies.com is an Edmonton-based operation with a solid selection of vintage tees in a full range of styles for men and women. Shipping is free with an order of six shirts or more, and there are plenty to choose from. My personal favourites include the Canadian provinces collection and the world collection (finally a Polska shirt available in a babydoll style). Prices range from $25 for most shirts to $37 for the men’s hoodie. |
