Pants by Lagerfeld, shirt by Microsoft

Will we soon be calling Microsoft a "fashion giant" in addition to a "software giant"? OK, that's probably stretching it, but the company is launching a new line of graphic T-shirts called "Softwear by Microsoft." Yep, you read that right. Microsoft is getting into the clothing business.

AdvertisingAge tells us the line is meant to evoke the '80s, a seminal time in the history of PCs. As such, the shirts will feature designs including retro MS-DOS fonts and a mugshot of a young Bill Gates. Just pair them with acid-washed jeans and a … Read more

PleaseDressMe is Google for T-shirts

Start-ups that sell T-shirts are a dime a dozen, but a tool to let you search across all of the stores has been nonexistent. Enter PleaseDressMe, a simple search engine that lets you hunt for specialty T-shirts from several vendors at once using some simple filters.

Included are big-name online T-shirt stores like Threadless, BustedTees and TShirtHell. More will continue to be added, but for the time being the selection is far greater than any of those stores alone.

You can find the shirt you're looking for by keyword, tag, the color or price. You can also see shirts … Read more

Design new clothes in Flash with the hoodie-o-matic

New York based Neighborhoodies has a cool new tool for people who are all about customization called the "hoodie-o-matic." Like services that let you custom design clothing to sell to others, you can create an entire garment in your browser and see the results in real time as you toggle various options.

The results aren't actually a new service offering. In fact, the previous system would let you do the same thing, although it was a series of drop-down menus, the result of which you'd only see once you received the garment. The new system takes … Read more

Cameesa: A Threadless where customers are also investors

It's no secret I'm a fan of Web T-shirt shops. This time last year I rounded up 20 different online shops that specialize in selling the cotton wonders, but few of those were as interesting as Cameesa.

Like many online T-shirt operations, everything on Cameesa is designed by freelancers who submit their stuff with the hopes of making a buck and getting some recognition. These designs (once approved by human editors) go into a pool where shoppers can pick out a shirt they want; the only catch is that they've got to invest in it so Cameesa … Read more

The 404 153: Where we get over it

On the show today: Guest Alex Green shows us his Web site "GET OVER IT", Space Beer T-shirts, 404 Dark Knight Meetup Wrap-up, Pussy Natural Energy Drink, Monster of Montauk, and Seth Rogan on the pot.

Last night's 404 meet up to see the Dark Knight was a resounding success! Our buddies showed up well before the movie and we chewed the fat for awhile. Big thanks and much appreciation goes out to Issac and Matt (the Intern) for dropping by to say hi. We missed you in the theater dudes! No surprise or complaint here, but … Read more

The 404 143: Where it's talking to you

Per usual, we push the envelope in the preshow today and it starts to leak into the beginning of today's episode, but we quickly (maybe not so quickly) seal it up and get into our story rundown. We criticize our sue-happy country and its propensity for stupid T-shirts, speak to the potential power of iPhone gaming, introduce a new S&M Barbie doll (therapy not included), and snap our way through this year's Emmy nominees.

The 404 129: Where Natali is dressed like a school marm

Back by insanely popular demand, Natali Del Conte guest stars on today's pretty heartfelt show. Well, we start it off pretty naughty with a couple of stories about highly offensive T-shirt graphics and Mini-Me's "secret" videotape, but then Jeff's buddy Zach calls in with a heartbreaking story and we dish out advice on how to sustain a long-term relationship. E-mail or call and tell us your opinion! EPISODE 129 Download today's podcast

Pikistore offers up purty-lookin' DIY T-shirt stores

CafePress and Zazzle got you down when it comes to creating an online shop? Check out Pikistore: half site builder, half storefront for apparel that sports whatever logo or design you slap on it. Believe it or not, it's from the same folks who did Comeeko, the zany comic strip builder our very own Caroline McCarthy called "the best Web 2.0 site in the history of the universe."

Pikistore's angle for getting you to ditch the competition is that the online store you create exists as its own destination, and not a part of some … Read more

If you can name all the robots on this T-shirt, you probably don't get out much

Bouncing around the Interwebs today is this hipster T-shirt with 51 (count 'em, 51!) famous and semifamous robots from the hallowed halls of sci-fi movies and TV. We're pretty sure we recognize at least half, but we'd cross the street to get away from anyone who could rattle off all 51 names in one sitting.

The $25 shirt, available in charcoal, black, or red, has already caused some rampant fanboyism, and creator Chop Shop has issued the following update based on a flurry of user comments.

CORRECTIONS: The newly reprinted version of this design has had two amendments. … Read more

Beam your motto in a strobe across the chest

There's apparently some kind of nostalgia kick going on around the "T-Qualizer" shirt that was all the rage a year ago. Yesterday we saw the same creators come out with an equalizer frame (the "SpeaQualizer)," and now there's the "T-Sketch."

This latest example of illuminated superfluousness features a sewn-in panel where you can write a message, which in turn shows up in colored lights powered by AAA batteries ranging from a "gentle glow" to a "pulsing strobe," according to Pocket-lint, depending on the appropriate delivery for the missive.… Read more
