…It’s Website Wednesday: FITIZEN?

FITIZEN

If you’re a fan of the fitted hat, then check out FITIZEN, the future home of hat lovers everywhere.

Similar to Threadless,

    Fitizen is a community-driven online retailer for fitted caps. The community submits and votes on fitted cap designs, and the winning designs are manufactured and sold on the site. Creators of the winning designs receive a cash prize and store credit.

In addition, FITIZEN is designed to be a community site where hat aficionados can discuss the latest designs, work on new designs, talk about caps and share stories about hats.

…It’s Website Wednesday: Naked & Angry?

Naked & Angry

Naked & Angry is skinnyCorp’s latest venture (the guys behind Threadless) and they’re hoping to take Threadless’ success and expand it into other areas of design.

Their stated goal of Naked & Angry is “to create high quality products from patterns submitted and chosen by the brand’s audience”.

    Anyone can come to Naked & Angry and submit a pattern design to be voted on by other Naked & Angry users. The design will be scored for 14 days at which time it will be given a final score. The highest scoring designs will be manufactured and products will be created inspired by the patterns. The winners will receive a $750 cash prize and 1 free Naked & Angry item.

Their first series of objects was a set of silk neckties, and they’ve now moved on to hand screened wallcoverings, so you can see that the product line is going to be diverse. Apparently their plans include everything from ties and tops to pillows and belts to socks and sweaters to wallpaper, so if you can put a pattern on it, Naked & Angry will turn it into a competition.

Naked & Angry Ties

New patterns will be chosen every season, and the goal is 5-15 various new items at a time.

Will Naked & Angry ever equal the success of Threadless?

My guess would be no, because I can’t imagine that the market for neckties and wallpaper is nearly as big as the market for t-shirts, but regardless, it seems like a great idea, and a great place to check out if you’re looking for something really unique with a handmade touch.

…Threadless is making prints?

Prints

Threadless has just announced a new item in their lineup called Prints, and if you’re looking for some fantastic t-shirt inspired art, definitely check it out.

Each Monday, they’re going to release three brand new screen-printed, hand numbered art prints in super limited editions of two-hundred and fifty, and once they’re gone they’re gone.

…It’s TGI Friday: I Heart T-Shirts?

I Heart T-Shirts

Want to win a free t-shirt? Then read on:

If you read DYH with any kind of regularity, then you’ve probably noticed that I’m a huge t-shirt fanatic. I own and wear far too many of them, but I can never get enough. I’m always on the lookout for new and unique shirts, and often when I find them, I post about them here.

However, I’ve wanted to start a separate t-shirt blog for quite some time now, so I’ve decided to do a little experiment to see if I can use Facebook to do it.

Thus, I’ve started a page on Facebook called “I Heart T-Shirts”, and I’m going to use it as a sort of mini-blog, posting about the latest t-shirt designs that I find and fall in love with.

If you’ve got a Facebook account, head on over to the page and check it out.

There, I’ve gathered up links to some of my favorite t-shirt stores, blogs and coupon codes, and I’m also going to be using the “Posted Items” area as a mini blog where I’ll share links to some of the newest and coolest designs out there.

To get this up and running though, it would be great to have people become fans of the page, which is why I’m going to be doing a giveaway on Sunday, May 11 to one random (and lucky) fan.

To enter, just go to the I Heart T-Shirts page and click “Become A Fan”. Then, on Sunday, I’ll select one fan at random from those that have signed up and I’ll send them a $25 Threadless Gift Certificate.

Since this is an experiment, I encourage you to contact me with any comments , questions or suggestions that you have about the page. Feel free to either email me here, or send me a message through the Facebook system.

Also, since Facebook is a community-based site after all, feel free to share photos, and videos of you and your favorite t-shirt designs on the page. Plus, if you can tell any of your t-shirt loving friends about the page, I would greatly appreciate it.

(Lastly, if you haven’t already, check out the DidntYouHear.com Page on Facebook!)

See you there!

…Popdeck is great for custom skateboards?

Popdeck

Popdeck is “the first design community just for skateboarders”.

Like Threadless, Popdeck lets designers upload their designs to the site, and then users can vote on them to select the winners. Unlike Threadless, winning designs end up becoming limited edition skateboard decks that probably aren’t as comfortable to wear as a t-shirt would be.

Each deck is hand numbered, and if you’re going to buy a board anyways, I don’t see why you wouldn’t want one that looks good and isn’t owned by every kid on the block.

…Threadless is having a sale?

Threadless Spring Cleaning

Threadless is doing a bit of Spring Cleaning right now, which means that today through Sunday, March 23, all of their tees start at just $9.

Sweet!

…It’s Website Wednesday: Threadcakes?

Threadcakes

Threadcakes is a site filled with the results of the Loves Threadless Cake Contest.

The premise of the concept was pretty simple: Bake a cake and decorate it to match your favorite Threadless shirt design.

With over 900 cake pics received, the results speak for themselves, and dough masters showed what was possible with a little bit of patience and a lot of inspiration.

…Threadless picked Bestee award winners?

…Threadlemanss lets you race other Threadless fans?

Threadlemanss

Threadless is going to be hosting a Pinewood Derby race called the Threadlemanss 48 Heures Derby, and it’s your chance to speed your way to a stylish victory.

Anyone can design and submit a car, and then the Threadless staff will race them on May 16-17.

First through Fourth place will each receive Threadless gift certificate, and the “Best in Show” award (the best looking car, though not necessarily the fastest) will also receive a GC.

There’s a few rules to follow, so be sure to check out the site, but other than that, it’s up to you.
