Favourite T-shirts

Inspired by the Band Merchandise thread.

Forums: The Bar,

One of my favouritest t-shirts is actually for a Welsh beer (made by S.A. Brain, who themselves have a fantastic line of t-shirts with various puns relating to Brain's beer...).
It's a jade-ish green, and has a small "Dylan's Smooth" logo on the front, and the opening paragraph of Dylan Thomas' Under Milkwood on the back:

"To begin at the beginning:
It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea. The houses are blind as moles (though moles see fine tonight in the snouting, velvet dingles) or blind as Captain Cat there in the muffled middle by the pump and the town clock, the shops in mourning, the Welfare Hall in widows' weeds. And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are sleeping now. "

I saw a great sweatshirt tonight, from an outfit called Federation. It has a circle on the front, and a weeny NZ near the bottom of the circle, with an arrow pointing to it and the words "I'm from NZ" (I think). Very plain, and very clever, I thought.

My fave t-shirt is (moss?) green with a detailed, beige-ish, wireframe picture of a street scene in Japan. I feel weird wearing it now in Tokyo. Not that anyone sees it in winter. ;)

Pretty stoked about a Japanese t-shirt shop called Graniph... seems like all travellers of a certain age cotton on to this, only 2100 yen a shirt for interesting designs and stuff... almost bought one that just said "Helvetica" in huge letters, but that might've been a bit nerrrrdy. Haha, who am I fooling?

I have a crimson one which has 'London Paris New York Coromandel' print on it. It's cool, but kind of looking a little raggedy now (I picked it up form an op shop when I was about 17) and I'm feeling like it's time I moved away from ironic tshirts. Cause I'm a grown up now.

My friend had a bright green one that said "YES!' on it, which I loved, cause every time I saw him wearing it I wanted to punch the air enthusiastically.

I also have a kick arse one with 'Nyu Zulund' on it, which I'll be proudly sporting when I leave the country.

So, um, yeah, big fan of tshirts.
