You know those little red lanterns? The kind your dad had for going camping? Those little red lanterns, the Coleman 200a, were made by the Coleman Company in the 1950s through early 80s and are very popular with collectors. So we made a t-shirt design which utilizes some vintage Coleman advertising art. Check out the shirts at Little Red Lantern T-Shirts at our RetroRanger shop.

What Makes a $500 T-Shirt a $500 T-Shirt

T Shirt Source — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 00:09:22 +0000

Didja ever wonder how come a 500 dollar t-shirt costs, well, 500 dollars? Well, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the $500 price point is determined by three things: material, print and exclusivity.

Here’s the comments from a Hong Kong menswear buyer David Fung on the influence of these three points…

1. Material: Almost all T-shirts are made primarily of cotton, sometimes blended with polyester. More-expensive brands often use a fancier cotton blend—some incorporate silk, for example—for a more luxurious feel. Or they might stretch and wash the shirt several times to achieve a softer, lived-in texture right off the rack.

2. Print: Currently, one of the priciest T-shirts in I.T.’s inventory is a baggy Givenchy number. It’s made of a leopard-print fabric, has a graphic of an evil-looking clown on the chest and retails for almost US$800. Mr. Fung says the material itself is “nothing special”; what attracts the high price is the leopard print.

“Last June [at the runway shows for spring/summer 2011 in Paris], we saw lots of brands with a leopard element. It’s very strong on the runway, so we knew we needed to have it,” he explains. Givenchy’s spring/summer collection had leopard prints on everything from shirts to shoes.

3. Exclusivity: How many shirts does Mr. Fung sell at this price point? Not many. In some cases, I.T.’s stock of a specific designer T-shirt, across all of its stores, is in the single digits. If you’re spending hundreds of dollars on a shirt, the last thing you want to see is some other guy wearing it too. “At Uniqlo, they’ll make 10,000 of one shirt,” says Mr. Fung. “Of these [designer Ts], there will be less than 100 worldwide.”

Yeah, well we think that accounts for maybe 60 bucks. The other $440 is gained by sprinkling the tee with magic silly dust.

Gretz Beer T-Shirt

One of the major categories at our RetroRanger t-shirt shop on CafePress is a very good selection of Vintage Brewery designs applied to t-shirts, tanks, sweatshirts and more. We’ve taken old coasters and bottlecaps and beer bottle labels and keg pulls and adapted the art and graphics to make some pretty cool t-shirts.
One of the newer arrivals at the shop is this vintage Gretz Beer T-Shirt. This shirt features some classic advertising art used by William Gretz Brewing Company in the 1950s. Gretz was a Philadelphia brewer that closed in 1960.
We show the shirt here in the basic white tee, but there are lots of colors and styles available at our online store, RetroRanger.

Killer Tubas Will Eat Me T-Shirt

I’ve been busy busy busy building out new t-shirt shops on print-on-demand platforms that aren’t named CafePress. Like a lot of CP shop keepers I’ll be giving CafePress the ol’ heave-hoe come June 1.
I’ve got a new Marching Bands T-Shirts site underway on e-shirt.com. I’m not too keen on their marketplace and I’m afraid there is not much traffic there, but I do really like the fact that their products are posted to Amazon. That has got to be a good thing.
Here’s a new design for the Low Brass Studs of the bands, this is my Killer Tubas Will Eat Me T-Shirt, available at my e-shirt storefront and also on Amazon.
