Pub n' Grub T-Shirt

Desteenation Shirt Co. continues to impress me with their new t-shirts. I'm a regular at Smith, up on Capitol Hill's 15th Ave., and I'm psyched to head down to the Desteenation store this weekend and pick up one of these cool Smith tees. I guess the Desteenation guys must have made a deal with Linda what's-her-name because Smith is owned by the same woman who owns two of their other new t-shirt establishments: Linda's Tavern (good for hangover brunch) and King's Hardware (skeeball!, 'nuff said). I think she also owns the Viceroy, but that place is definitely not my scene.

The Smith tees are printed on American Apparel tri-blend tees, which fit long and skinny, just the way I like 'em. Oh yeah, and Desteenation is having a 25% off sale right now, on every t-shirt in the store!

Turn off your TV

Just discovered Off Your Back Shirts. Cool company. I hope they make it—it's gotta be hard to break into the 'green' clothing biz. Despite them giving a percentage to charity, working with sweatshop free manufacturers and using organic cotton, their shirts are still only 22 bucks. Gotta love that.

Wall-Marxist

Tshirthell is hilarious, and I often find myself shaking my head and cracking up when I look over their latest additions. But, I can't actually see myself walking around wearing most of it. This one, though, I had to have this t-shirt. It's all about the tagline.

Rockin T-shirt

I've only wandered into Bop Street Records a couple times—not that into vinyl anymore—but there's no denying it's one of the ultimate Seattle record stores. Desteenation just added this one to their growing collection of record store t-shirts, and I'm thinking I just may need to get me one of these.

Apples Rock

I'm a Mac lover, in the most literal sense. I'm reluctant to admit that I'm old enough to have had one of these bad boys.

Feeling Nappy

As a firm believer in naps myself, I thought it only appropriate that I get myself one of these Siesta Tees from The Ryde. Plus, they have it in brown and it's onsale for only $12. It's my official end-of-summer t-shirt.

Fallout Records: Immortalized

When I first moved to Seattle back in school, Fallout Records was the ultimate. It was killer, man. It was the epitome of what the movies try to create when they want the cool, independent record store with the misunderstood loner who knows like every track in the store. When they went under and closed their doors, it was an eye-opening experience for me as far as the struggle of the independents in the big box world.

The fact that one of my favorite businesses ever is selling the Fallout t-shirt, and giving a percentage back to the old owners, has to be one of the coolest things I've seen in this big, ugly world in a long time.
