Forgotten the name of a line of t-shirts

pollystark — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 14:22:47 -0800

Can anyone remind me of the name of a line of t-shirts? I think they are all designed by one woman. The only one I know of has a fairly simple drawing of a child (girl?) clutching a teddy-bear.

Desperately seeking nice, thin t-shirts/undershirts for women

iguanapolitico — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 13:10:41 -0800

Where can a woman buy nice t-shirts to wear under sweaters and other tops? I have some sweaters and knit tops that would benefit from my wearing a t-shirt underneath them. But all my t-shirts are cotton and not fitted enough or too bulky to wear underneath anything else. I take a nice, fitted v-neck sweater that would look more appealing and be more comfortable if I wore a shirt underneath, and it no longer fits if I wear it on top of anything I own. (Except tank tops -- I have an infinite supply of tank tops.) And I'm not talking about the big boxy men's t-shirts; I wear the babydoll style, pretty fitted t-shirts. But they're still not tight enough and the fabric is usually too thick.

So, where can I find nice, thin, fitted t-shirts/undershirts for women? Ideally this would be something I could also wear by itself in warm weather, but it's OK if I can't. (These might need to be skin-tight.) Ideally they would be available in multiple colors, but white is most important, followed by black, followed by a photo finish between gray and brown. I'm looking for short sleeves most of all; long sleeves would also be nice, as would sleeveless (like cap-sleeved without the cap).

I'm thinking silk? Or a good merino wool? Nothing lacy; it needs to fit feminine (and be nice enough to wear with nice clothing) but I don't wear hearts and flowers. Nothing sporty; this is for wearing with regular clothes, not for the gym. Recommendations for a store (preferably online)?

How to Preserve T-Shirts With Iron-On Graphics?

Other than turning the T-shirts inside out and drying them with low heat, what can a person do to protect his/her clothing with ironed-on graphics?

Where can I find this shirt?

Cesar Milan ("The Dog Whisperer") occasionally wears a black shirt bearing a logo that looks like a crowned boxing lion (think medieval England). What make is it and where can I get one?

Where to find t-shirts that are cute, cool and clever??

Where can we find cute/cool/clever t-shirts? Especially those made by a company called Map? My boyfriend, in his young and reckless days on the Dutch party scene in the late 90's was famous for his cool cartoony t-shirts. They were original, cute and clever and he bought them from a little shop the near the Dam in Amsterdam. They exclusively sold T-shirts made by a company called Map.

Now he wants new t-shirts, but the shop stopped stocking Map years ago, and then disappeared and now we can't find anywhere selling these tees at all. It's hard even to find a (See the yellow fishies on the blue background) picture on the net, never mind a retailer.

The shop in the links above sells them, but preferably we'd like somwhere with a store we can visit or which has a proper online store where we can easily get a Map fix whenever we need it. In English. Or Dutch, of course.

Does anyone else remember Map? Do they still exist?

Or, where can we buy similarly cute/cool/clever/cartoony t-shirts without the shipping costs to Holland making them prohibitively expensive?

Threadless.com is great, for example, and has really reasonable shipping but he's looking for something cuter and less political. We just got him the, admittedly lame but cheery gnome shirt from You Me & Dupree, (getting kinda desperate - his old shirts are seriously threadbare), but he likes the cartoony clever stuff best.

A lot of the t-shirt websites we're finding are pretty crude or silly, and all sell the same unoriginal designs. Geeky is good, but not this geeky.

He wants t-shirts that will make people smile, not cringe or feel stupid. And in size XL. :-) And if anyone knows where you can get these in a ladies' XXL (US size 22 or UK size 24) I would be amazed - I've never found affordable plus sized cool tees for girls anywhere!

How do those championship hats arrive so soon?

How the hell do they make those Super Bowl/World Series/Stanley Cup shirts and hats so quickly at the end of the game? I watch very little sports on the telly, but the few pro sports series finales that I have seen (such as today) always have me asking this question at the end when everyone is celebrating. Like is there some kind of printing factory near the stadium that waits until the final seconds and then spits out out Patriots championship hats? Or do they play it safe and they make two kinds of superbowl champion shirts one Eagles, one Patriots? And if that's so what happens to the loser shirts? Do they go on ebay?

T-Shirts

Does anyone happen to know where I would be able to get a hold of a shirt like this one? I have no idea how I would even search for this sort of thing.
(Googling some of the words on the shirt along with the word 'shirt' or 't-shirt' just gives a bunch of random, very unrelated results.)
