Filed under: Men, Daily Obsession

Moral Fabric: What t-shirts are made of

Filed under: Clothing, Men, Green Fashion


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.


Moral Fabric
is a t-shirt company that originated in Texas. Their passion is to make t-shirts that "focus on the psychedelic art movement of the 60's and 70's, ancient Middle Eastern mosaic patterns, perception vs. reality, spiritual ideologies, and the intelligent designs of Mother Nature." You know, cool stuff.

Vintage Vantage: Vintage shirts at old school prices

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Men


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

We really like Vintage Vantage, and not just because they were soaked in voting controversy (guess where it started? We're looking at you Florida) or that they are officially at war with the country of Denmark, valid reasons they both may be. No, we like them because they make great shirts.

It's okay to wear a funny shirt

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing

Sometimes you just need a funny shirt. Maybe you want to show your sense of irony or appreciation of pop culture. Maybe you like puns and politics. It's okay. Take a deep breath and relax. I'm telling you that it's alright. Really.

Busted Tees can help. Listen to them:

Busted Tees opened in March, 2004 and is entirely run by the guys from CollegeHumor.com. We decided to start making T-shirts because we want people to have fun, laugh, look good, feel comfortable, get good jobs, get sweaty dancing, and go home with someone who also did those things.

See? You like fun, right? What about laughing, looking good and feeling comfortable? You can do those things. To be honest, I don't think there are too many good jobs that will embrace the funny shirt, at least not at the interview, but sweaty? Definitely. The going home with someone? Probably not.

The funny shirt is acceptable (in some situations) and don't worry, people will still like you (give or take a few).
