Don't Despair, Great Shirts to Wear!

Filed under: Clothing, Men

Page views are like kisses.Actually, you should Despair, since that's the name of the company that we're discussing today. DespairWear, to be exact. Their motto is "clothes make the man, these clothes make the man sad." The clothes in question are t-shirts, and to be honest they don't make us feel sad at all. In fact, they tend to bring out the opposite. Rumor has it that one of the interns was even seen smiling. It's like an urban legend.

Loiter(ing) allowed - Shirts that stand out

Filed under: Clothing, Men



We haven't discussed t-shirts in some time, and that's not because we're over them, but rather we thought we had covered them all. We stand corrected. In fact you might say we "loiter" corrected, especially if you like puns and society doesn't generally find you very funny.

Filed under: Runway Trends, Books

The publishers of the new book, Forgotten Fashion: An Illustrated Faux History of Outrageous Trends and Their Untimely Demise by Kate Hahn, swear that it is a parody of the fashion world. Just for laughs!

The book describes 28 faux fashions that took the world by storm then faded away, all of them such dead on parodies you'll keep checking to make sure this is a humor, not history, book.

And it is totally funny. But after reading it, we have to admit, the fashion world is so over the top that these humorous essays seem completely plausible!

T-Shirt of the Day: Psycho Reindeer

Filed under: Clothing, Men

Psycho Reindeer makes t-shirts and we'll talk about that, but first we should address the company name and figure out what it means. It isn't something to be ignored.

According to the company founder on the Psycho Reindeer website: When we were dating, my lovely wife gave me an old sawdust-stuffed reindeer toy as a Christmas gift. I liked it so much it became the namesake of my t-shirt company.

I believe he meant to say "an old psycho-stuffed reindeer," but regardless, it's still a fun name.

The shirts are even better:
