Threadless.com Review

Threadless.com is an online t-shirt store, but one that espouses the idea of “open source clothing”. Shirt ideas are submitted by users, voted on by users, and the chosen designs are eventually purchased by users. At present, they are running a sale, all shirts $10 (plus approx. $3 shipping) so I bought two: My Mom Likes Maiden and Who I Am (see below for pictures). Two t-shirts for $26 is a good price, especially when they’re as awesome as these.

I ordered on Monday, and recieved the shirts on Thursday. I was impressed by how fast they got here, too be honest. They arrived neatly folded and including two sets of Threadless stickers. The shirts themselves are of pretty good quality. They are “tagless”, in that the OMG Clothing tag is printed on the inside of the shirt, but it is obvious that at one point there was a manufacturer’s hangtag that got clipped (see picture). The printing on the shirts is rather nice, especially the detail on “Who I Am”. I haven’t washed the shirts yet, so I don’t know how the printing will hold up, but I’ve heard from other sources that it lasts much longer than Cafe Press’s “Two washes and it’s out” inks. The shirts are comfortable, and again, they look cool. However, an elderly Mexican woman did make fun of the Who I Am shirt, she said it looked like something was spilled all over my nice shirt. But I dig it, and that’s what matters.
