i agree that clean design and neccesary information is the way to go. i found this site called THE LIFE (www.experiencethelife.com) that does just that.
their designs are CRAZY! the marvin gaye shirt, the meat packing district (they’re based out of NYC), and their “i am the african dream” shirt.
Many t-shirt sites these days are heavily based on flash – I think it works well for small collections, Skwat, a Belgium company, is another good example I found yesterday.
Just wanted to say thanks for the great review in your blog. Once again, we’re both impressed and pleased to come across a business that doesn’t like to hang around and just gets on with it.
i am looking for a polo shirt with embroidery on the front and printed on the back about 100 i have my own design and wording nothing offensive or racial thanks lizzie
If you could email your designs to info@indigoclothing.com, we will sort out a competitive quote for you. We need to see how many colours are in the printed design and how big the embroidery is.
i just loved their website, i found it today, during a web design class…i’m wishing for that ibook tee!
can you tell me if they have an actual real store, and if so, the address?
thanks a lot!
I agree. Finding a niche market that is focused is key to success on the net. The net is too big and it is the norm to get buried and unknown as a new website.
I found out this competition, thanks to my friend Paul that won their first contest and got the money three days later!
Please give me your impression. http://www.worldtraces.com
Thank you all.
Folks, Microsoft continues to buy VoIP companies – after Teleo this summer, MS bought Swiss VoIP company (Media-streams.com) last week. What do you think would be Skype’s value if MS (or Google) buys GIPS (current voice engine provider to Skype)?
Thx, good one. Since 2000?! Why didn’t i stumble over this one years ago?
Check this one as a little tip in return: a 40 sec video clip on how to fold up tshirt in 3 secs with one seamless hand-move… japanese, i just can’t do what they’re showing there, but it looks so cool… http://revver.com/video/4284
Is it too early to send out Christmas cards?! Hmm… Being a ‘bird’, I’m a keen ‘buyer’ of cards, even purchasing the odd bargain in the January sales! By the time Christmas comes round once more, I’m hoping my cards are still flat, unmouldy/ un-beerstained and, furthermore, still fit for human distribution! I might be organised so far as the purchasing goes but I STILL have issues when it comes to writing the things out… I always leave it to the very last minute thinking I have LOADS of time and then, all of a sudden, Christmas is here and my cards are STILL lying underneath the couch waiting to be scribbled upon! Well, my friends, I recommend this is the LAST year we send cards. I propose that the ‘new black’ of Christmas cards in 2006 are e-Cards!?!! FAR Less hassle those – Less effort and save on stamps!!!! And anyway, we can always use the excuse that it’s good for the environment?!!! Bobs x
Had graag een Skwat T-shirt besteld.

Is het mogelijk een T-shirt te bestellen via overschrijving?
I met someone who knew Dickie at the weekend – he mentioned that he’d rowed at Newcastle so I casually asked whether he knew Richard Heathcote and he looked rather confused for a few seconds before exclaiming ‘Ohh! You mean Big Gay Rich!’
From the description, I had to agree that we were in fact talking about the same person.
Apologies to Dickie if you’re reading this.
Thank you! We are averaging 1.4k visitors per day at the moment this month which would put us ahead of November but, as a certain associate would be quick to point out, Christmas is in the way and it is sure to depress this month’s figures.

Absolutely marvellous site and idea.
In this day and age is is usually very difficult to find reasonably priced clothing that has been manufactured in such a manner that keeps your conscience clear about it’s origins.
In a modern world built on greed and avarice, it is refreshing to see a user friendly company online who has a true state of morality.
Hi, we’re interested in purchasing water bottles for our football team. We only want a small number – 20 750ml bottles – purple coloured with the club emblem and then a name on each. Club emblem and name could be white or black. What sort of price are we looking at? Thank you
I have literally just stumbled apon this site lookinf for something else.
This website itself has cool design. I’m sure the same can be said about their clothes.
There may no such thing as a free lunch but there’s hope yet for t-shirts.
I totally agree with your point about clear desk policy, especially in a company where staff have to deal with a lot of paper work and they are working on the same files for weeks and to top it up they do not have sufficient storage space. In such a scenario if the management is forcing them to clear away it would just ensure that more files and important paper work would be lost since just to comply with the company policy staff are just somehow hiding away stuff at each day end.

Is this a possibility? How much would it cost?

Just wondering if Amanda is the same person that sketched Mt Taranaki (formerly known as Mt Egmont) in Taranaki, Aotearoa, New Zealand, in conjunction with Peter
Arnold?
If so? I have the above artwork & it’s great!
And I would appreciate it very much if someone would ask her email me, or forward me her contact email.
I’m looking to get 25 water bottles, with a team name and possibly an emblem printed on them. Preferably the 750ml size, how much would it cost and is this feasible.
Thanks from Rebecca
Can you please send me prices for 3 sets of Numbered water bottles. (Numbered 1-16)
One colour print with club crest and team name
Each set a different colour if possible.
I would like to purchase some water bottles for our new football coaching course. The course is for under 5’s so the smaller the bottle, the better, probably 500ml.
I entirely disagree with this stupid article. I feel that this company is creating a clever t-shirt that plays on violence and fear in todays society. It is however not offensive to me in any way. How could this be offensive to you? Are you that pussy that you can’t take a joke? Would you duck for cover seeing this relatively unrealistic image of a bomb on a t-shirt and then try to sue the company for making you **** your pants. You suck. **** You. I’m Out.

I am looking to order 100 bottles (500ml) – silver colour with a red cap. We are wanting to have a one colour print (Red) on the bottle.
Do you produce pre-production samples? And if so how long would it take for us to receive this from time of artwork approval? We are urgently needing to take a photo of one completed bottle for our new catalogue, but no major rush on the balance of 100 to follow.
Pls could you let me know as a matter of urgency, so that we can look to place an immediate order.
Yes, sorry about the delay but with the busy season and an office move, this project got shifted to a back burner. The t-shirts are printed, they are in our office and we’ll get the promotion online ASAP.
Personally this chocco pop fella sounds like a dude…
Ok well thats because it is me! hello indigo crowd…made me laugh after a hard days digging.The dig is pretty cool with some good folk around,however i will be glad once its over and then i can enjoy a few more weeks of freedom.
Just cooked a wicked spag bol 4 my current and temporary housemates,went down a treat.

I was hoping you might be able to supply 15 red water bottles with a altered baywatch logo on the side? Pls can you advise cost and availability. Thanks, Darren
Unfortunately we cannot produce customised bottles in this quantity. The minimum order quantity is 50 bottles, however this is subject to a 1-colour print. 2 coloured bottles start from quantities of 250 .
Hi,i would love to order a couple of t.shirts when they are ready for purchase.You can contact me on my email! I would love to help this fantastic cause to change the world!regards reb ciganek
Dude, I used to be the very Nemesis you fear, white van man around London.
We weren’t that bad in all honesty, I wasn’t anyway.
In fact, most bike / car tangles were a result of light hopping, sidewalk jumping and general highwaycode snubbery by bikers who just had to beat the taxi etc…not all, but some…and they had this game of who could balance at the lights without putting a foot on the ground until the lights changed, of course, this was facinating to watch for us Escort ridden couriers as some stayed uprigth with a few tyre hops for a good 4- 5 minutes.
The downside was that we were all so eager to get across the lights that as soon as they turned orange we let the clutch drop and floored it, often way quicker than balancing bike dudes could regain forward motion and sometimes, just sometimes, one would fall over at the last mo, and get bonked by a taxi , or worse, go to pull away and miss a gear and fall off….to be bonked by a taxi..or very rarely a white escort on the Edgeware Road onto Marbel Arch..ahh happy days….
You wanma know the trick to staying alive on a bike in London, not including a helmet?…wear a bright tee shirt!!…and i’m certain you know someone who can get you one of those….
Oddly enough, I wrote some music for a video my mate made years ago for C4, sort of a docuvid about what it’s like to be a courier in London, way back in ’94, featuring a classic gumball style race we used to have from Wapping High Street to Parliament Square and Creechurch McDonalds to Plum Tree Court…that featured a few of our biker pals performing assorted hi jinks on the pavements and one doing a back to the future stylee bumper hanger on a london bus…all the way through the underpass on Lower Thames street…happy days, happy days…
All came to an very hasty end for me in ’93 when I was the last vehicle to use Bishopsgate before the lorry took it out 15 minutes later that saturday morning. I had my 15mins of fame and so did my white van..but got too nervous driving in town again, went to Delta in kent instead..darn those pesky terrorists…it turned from dodgy bikers to dodgy caravans..
Awareness is the key I believe, as we enter into a new era of global awareness, the next generation are going to be more environmentally savvy and ethical values will out weigh value for money. Consideration of these ethical values will include local support of struggling economies, growth for third world countries, moral environmental decisions etc
I’m out to convert all Londoners onto two wheels (without engines) and it sounds as if you’re sitting on the fence. I’ve haven’t been in an accident and can’t really say I’ve been close to one (I’m knocking on mdf).
You can always rent one from velorution for a week and see how it goes. If it’s not your thing then just wait until they make central London a pedestrian and cycle only zone.
I might go for one of those bright Tees though just in case.
Dude im not sitting on the fence;), I don’t come down to the old smoke much anymore, I live on a farm in the midlands and cruise the crops in a £250K New Holland combine…..whitevanman bit the London dust many moons ago…and now NOTHING gets in my way ‘cept some cheeky wheat that always loses….watch Pixars’ CARS and check out the bit featuring Frank…that’s me….for real…
Lets look at the whole picture. The task is not simply to persuade people to buy organic products but to be aware of who they are buying from and who their money is going to. We know this and we have to make sure that the word keeps spreading that diversity and quality are better than a quick consumer fix.
All for fair trading about time things got on an even playing field, nice clothing and a true start at bringing the world together by paying proper wages for a fair days work…..
I want to start a private label at the end of the summer if I get a loan, and I love that have good (CSR) and I was wondering if you’ll be offering organic hoodies.
I really like the site – it’s very smart and easy to navigate! The itinerary function is fantastic, and hugely important as travellers increasingly want to organise trips that deviate from the standard itineraries often suggested. Excellent maps and photographs and enticing write ups (South America is especially informative!). Mali and Colombia will have lots of new photographs very soon! Well done! X
I’ve been ordering stuff from Artus Clothing at http://www.artusclothing.com because they have a few designs that really pop, and the quality seems really good.
Just ignore it – it’s not from a human. It’s an automated posting from some lowlife company trying to make money out of boosting their clients Google rankings. Do not respond to it – remove it from your forum and then Google for ways to prevent it happening again!
That seems apt. Ange was a friend of mine at Cambridge and she was a really lovely girl and incredibly hard working. She also loves the army and thoroughly deserves the Sword of Honour, and also the ‘server of honour’ from Indigo-go…
Thanks Indigo and Annie (you’re a rowing legend now!!) Yesterdays parade was truly amazing and it’s great that so many people have heard about it. Thanks for all your support.
These shirts definitely are pushing the envelope of what one would consider “in good taste” but that being said I personally find them to be pretty humorous.
I work the front desk at Naked Motel a small indie clothing firm that is trying to push the envelope of sexuality without crossing into the vulgar or gross category. Most of the current designs revolve around the company’s trademarked name Naked Motel targeted to young women,the shirts seem to be selling pretty good. It would appear to me that men arn’t the only ones that are thinking about sex.
Do you think this will improve their sales? I know a lot of people don’t like buying from American Apparel because of Dov… but I would assume that there are a lot of people who DO buy from them because of the risque image he’s created.
I just hope they continue not embellishing their imprintables…
What a great idea! It must’ve been a hard task to organize but if they manage to pull it off then 10 points to them They need to get out there and advertise it a bit more!
I am on the school fund raising team and I am looking for approx 250 plain drinking bottles for the school (ages 4 years – 10 years). Each child will be given a bottle and it wil be used continuously through the school day. Could you please give me a quote for this.
In what vein is the term organic development used here? We use organic development as a term to refer to living systems that grow or shrink naturally. SO we offer business services that encourage ‘organic development.
How do get organic T0shirts – is it the cotton they are made from> – adnd if it is where does the cotton come from – if it is flown here doesnt that undermine the organic nature of it? – James @ Organic Development
I love your blog and the information you offered, that’s great! I’ll come back to see whether any other helpful information posted.LOL. http://www.sparkinapparel.com is also a good company I founded, maybe it’s helpful.
HI we are looking to puchase around 350-400 clear bottles for our primary school. We would need a place for each child’s name and a company’s logo, who we are hoping will sponser us. Bottles will be used all day, every school day so need to be robust.
Thanks
Jayne
I’m really loving the 80′s style coming back. I’ll be honest I was until recently one of those guys who never saw the 80′s as a big deal perhaps as I was born in them and so never really get to appreciate them first time around. However I’m really loving the t-shirt, that was my first ghetto blaster, as the music has not stopped since! Also great from the 80′s Thundercats, cartoons have not been made the same since, recently bought myself a vintage Thundercats bag….amazing!
Had a look at this site and thinki it is definately pretty good, very different. I am from the uk and a site I regularly use is http://www.funishirts.com . they have quite funny t-shirts but the custom ones they make are ace, you should check it out! I will try to reccomend some more in the future!
Not to rain on anybody’s parade but isn’t this the same idea as http://www.cafepress.com? I think the t-shirt hunt thing is not yet activated also. Did they give up?
Hi my name is Magda.
I’m hand knitter and crochet sample maker I like design too. recently I did crochet bikinis for a fashion show I’m retired and I’m looking for work doing sample at home I live in Los Angeles Ca. if you need sombebody Please answer me and I can send you more information about me And send you pictures of my work. Thank you.
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t go to Printwear and Promotion. I did – I went on Sunday I and sent my staff on Monday and Tuesday.
By going it gave me the chance to renew old acquaintances, meet new faces, find out about new products and new ideas. I send my staff not just for the same reasons but to confirm to them that they are part of a vibrant and solid industry – that they are a part of an industry they can be proud of. Most of all we go to give our support to that industry.
It is very easy to critisize something – it’s a simple matter of running your fingers over a keyboard. It takes far more effort to support. But thousands of us gave that support again this year. Exhibitors spent many thousands of pounds and months on planning. People flew in from many parts of the world and the rest of us spent time and money to get there.
What we got out of it was down to the individual but what our industry got out of it was our combined support.
I’m sorry, for whatever excuse, you decided not to give yours.
I agree it provides an opportunity “to renew old acquaintances, meet new faces, find out about new products and new ideas” with the convenience of these opportunities being in the same place at the same time.
I am by nature a cynic (you may have guessed) and see these fairs as lacklustre and ultimately an opportunity for the organisers to make money from exhibitors. I would rather commit my time (and my staff’s time) to sales in March and, should I need to deal with suppliers, use the wonders of modern communication technologies rather than drag myself up the M40.
I own “Generation T” and have made several awesome shirts with it. Just making them was so much fun! You can even get your little siblings, cousins, or neighbors in on it with the “No Sew” projects like I did. And the response at school and just around town was amazing. People would come up and ask where I got my shirt or my skirt. I’d tell them I made it, and they would just go, “Wow.” It makes you very proud of yourself. I love T-shirt reconstruction!
Well, what can I say, it’s a great news! The fact that people began to think about the future of the nation can’t be set aside. But of course,there are people,who remain followers of cigarettes’ smoking and drinking beer.
I LOVE ALL OF THE T-SHIRTS I WANT THEM ALL THEYRE SO BRILLIANT. IVE GOT GET YER FREAK ON GILES DEACON AND I WANT SO MANY MORE BUT I DONT KNOW IF AND WHERE YOU CAN BUY THEM, GET BACK TO ME IF YOU KNOW THAAANKS, XXXX
Thank you for your replies. I would suggest taking a look at his official page http://www.houseofholland.co.uk, his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/houseofholland or checking out Urban outfitters stores, although from personal experience his stock seems to fly out! Good luck!
It’s ok saying use this bag to help the Environment but, with the amount of shopping I get I would have to purchase about 5 of these bags & betting that there will be none left any way when they do decide to sell them in sainsbury’s
or wherever..it’s such a ‘con’ all we have to do is re-use our carrier bags we get with our shopping, my mum & me save the bags for the next time we go…simple!..
inigoclothing will be worn proud and loud by me and will advertise ur site on mine its all good when its free make mine lrge please
if any 1 needs cheap sim cards mail me allanwinters@3mail.com
I have to admit, I love the design of the bag. It is a bag that makes you feel like taking it out for a spin around the shops. However, I have to agree with the opinion that this might be out of fashion within in a few months time. The discerning shopper is always looking for something new to sling over her shoulder (or is that just me?). With that said, i do think it is a great alternative to a plastic bag.
I think the movement to get rid of plastic bags is something we should all be apart of, in one capacity or another. I read in the news a few weeks ago that there is a school in the South of England banning children from bringing plastic bags to school. I have a small business which actually focuses on creating ‘fashionable alternatives’ to the ghastly plastic bag. The most popular is our waterproof swimsuit bag. In the past I have used plastic bags, but my luggage always ended up smelling and my clothes a bit damp. Not nice to find after suffering from jet lag and post holiday blues.
I am interested to see how other companies and designers find fashionable designs to get rid of those pesky plastic bags.

I’ve been to Montalcino…and Montepulciano and Monte this and Monte that. I love Italy. The food, oh, the food. But enough of that dreaming…
Er, is it me or is it a little strange that they are selling kiddie shirts with wine glasses? Little kids and alcohol is a bit of a strange mix, you have to admit.
I have started a private label clothing line and would like to know if would manufacture my designs. I would also be interested if you do samples and what the cost would be.
I agree with the comments in the blog…id like more students to break away from the usual tshirts and hoodies. i love the mesh caps idea, but one of the key things with students – they would have to be very cheap, or free, but im sure if they were bought in a large enough quantity, the price would be reasonable.
On a blog level, this is possibly the best blog ive ever read…the author deserves recognition
fantastic idea, there is only a small tesco near me, and when i see the clothing on the T.V its very frustrating not being able to buy any of it. The sooner the better.
`Hi there`
Just thought you`d like a laugh on me with http://www.hoodwinked.biz a site full of published cartoons, si-fi and award winning advertising so if nothing else have a laugh on me, if you look up melvin charlton levey on Yahoo you`ll see my award winning watercolour work judged by the association of illustrators as the best in the u.k and europe Dec 06
my daughter has one and she loves it she takes it everywhere with her but surprise surprise not one person has commented on it which has really upset her
Hi
I was one of the lucky ones to get a bag this morning too, got to my local Sainsburys at 7.30am to a queue of over 50 people I was on my way out as and a lady told me to get a ticket – apparently not all Sainsburys nationwide were selling 30 bags per store this particular store was selling 239 and another was selling 500.
I hope everyone enjoys their bags and maybe look forward to adding to their collection – other anya bags will be out in June from USA and Japan
To make a real difference try out these re-usable batteries from USBCELL (http://www.usbcell.com/pr/13 ) , there are over 15 billion alkaline batteries thrown away each year which is unsustainable.
I think anything that cuts down on the number of plastic bags we produce, use then throw away is a great idea. I have recentle made a decision not to use plastic bags after learning how long they take to decompose, I think it is 125 years. I now even use biodegradable poop bags. If we all do a little it will make a big difference.
Wine consumed with moderation may have a beneficial effect on health. You’ll find that belief all over Italy. Many Italians do give wine to their children; it is not taboo in Italy.
There’s no shame in that. Does it really matter if this is a PR stunt if it is something to help the environment? At least they are business savvy enough to realise what currently matters to the public (hopefully this topic will not fall out of favour in the next few months when other issues may seem more pressing). I am hoping that more companies will follow suit, because if this is a bandwagon that Selfridges has jumped on, it really isn’t that bad of one.

I’M LOOKING FOR ABERCROMBIE’S T-SHIRT,POLO’S AND JEANS.I LEAVE IN ATHENS GREECE AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN BUY THE ITEMS FROM THE ABERCROBIES LONDON SHOP.THANK YOU
I think the problem we have got to is as follows: if you spend 50p extra on a jar of fairtrade coffee, you actually expect there to be some measurable difference in the person that grows the coffee. After all, that is the whole point of the concept. So when you read something like this it is tempting to go and shout at a wall.
You start to wonder if it would be more efficient to go and give the farmer 50p yourself.
As has been pointed out on this blog before, the challenge for ethical clothing brands is to provide a promotional product that is high quality, sensibly priced and easily available. As well as being more ethical. Which is a tough cookie to crack.
But I think it can be done – a certified and marked organic cotton product, with full transparency. This means that the consumer can go and find out exactly where the product she/he has in hand came from, when and where it was made, the conditions – maybe even how much people were paid. And at a price considerably more competitive than at present. This isn’t greenwashing or marketing, but a deliberate action to attempt to tell people about where their products came from. And I think they have a right to know that information in order to make an informed choice.
Did you know that two new designs have just been launched on the BALTIC art gallery website – http://www.balticmill.com/shop?
The slogans are linked to a new exhibition at the gallery – Dazed and Confused Vs Andy Warhol.
There are three more that say “I’LL SHOW YOU WHO’S BOSS KATE MOSS” “SHE MAY BE PLASTIC BUT BARBIE’S GYMNASTIC” and “LET”S PLAY NAKED TWISTER LINDA EVANGELISTA” I absolutely love these shirts!
I give henry kudos on the wordplay.
This company rocks. I ordered 7 shirts, got them 3 days later, all perfect – nice soft prints. They’re one of the few companies out there with more than dumbass movie lines printed on t’s and lame one liners – these guys actually have original, new and GOOD artwork and they do it justice on the t they print it on…! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
These printers have been talked about a little bit on T-shirtforums.com; nobody seems to be able to discern what exactly their ‘Rehance’ process is. It’s apparently not just waterbased screenprinting, and is not only a printing process but includes garment dyeing. Any ideas at to what sets it apart (besides their green facilities)?
Funny to stumble acros my own words on your site.
I actually started today online reading about green issues, notably searching for sustainable energy for my factory in Turkey.
I agree with what Alex wrote above about my quote; in a wider context he is correct and I am incorrect, but it pleases me that he did understand what I really meant, which is that I do not like companies who blatently and massively inflate their actually almost non-existent green credentials, for example, B&B Leisurewear, who say on their website “B&B are fast becoming known as a major UK supplier of fairly traded, organic cotton clothing. As such, we are leading the way to address the issues of pollution and exploitation in the clothing industry.” Utter drivel.
“That is why our Organic Cotton is 100% free from synthetic fertilisers, soil additives, defoliants and genetic modifications. Our refusal to use these will go some way to help restore the environmentís natural balance.”
What about the other 95.5%? of their T-shirt sales which are not organic? They are not refusing to use synthetic fertilizers & pesticides on these, are they? Any T-shirt manufacturer that says how wonderful they are for selling a handfull of organic T-shirts while producing 100′s of thousands of conventional T-shirts is…, well you decide. Then there is the marketing tool “Sweatshop Free” which implies that everyone else makes their T-shirts in a sweatshop. It was this that I was particularly refering to with my quote. Companies who say they “pay above the minimum wage” or “above the national average”. Gosh, how kind.
And don’t AA actually fly their T-shirts into Europe? More Co2 anybody?
Sol’s now have organic t-shirts, and Fairtrade marked T-shirts, but not Organic Fairtrade T-shirts, which they should ideally be says PAN UK (Fairtrade, but still poisoning the farmers?); I did point this out to Alain this week at Fespa, and he agreed with me.
I could continue writing for days, but I will not, just to say that there are infact many companies who conduct their business in a responsible way, and who have always done so, who do not make unrealistic and misleading claims. Perhaps it is those that shout the loudest about how good they are, without being transparent, that we should be asking the most questions about.
I run a Dance Club called “AB Fab Dance” Club, Could you please quote me a price for 120 500ml bottles (Transparent) with the dance clubs emblem on them?
You can find a few on the Seven New York website
but they’re out of my personal favorite “Let’s get Bare Nicholas Ghesquir”
I do wanna find the “Treat me Mean Alexander McQueen” one
let me know
thanks
I wish to order the Male frangrance Fierce but have no idea how to do this online as the US web site will not allow international transfers of frangrances. Can you help
Definetly try http://www.qcumclothing.com they have a decent range, its authentic and cheaper than the UK Abercrombie shop. They also do free shipping, my items came the next day.
Thanks for the feedback. Shipping costs have been reduced slightly but we are using UPS to ship orders which ensures there is a tracking number and insurance. Of course shipping also covers the pick and pack costs.
Guys… It’s great to hear that you went out of your way to make it international, and that you’ve got some fancy distribution scheme, but the Canadian prices are AWFUL.
$17.50 of SHIPPING on a shirt that only costs $17.00 is not only outragously high, it’s ridiculous and kind of pathetic. Do you actually expect anyone to pay twice the price of the shirt because of delivery? And can you imagine an actual human being who is so concerned with tracking numbers and packaging that they are comfortable with these luxuries doubling the price?
Lets get serious guys. Canada is very close to the states. You can ship a shirt to Canada from the states for $5. Either you’re trying to rip us off (I don’t think you’re trying to rip us off, so…) or you’ve just made a very very bad business decision regarding mail providers. You will not sell very many shirts this way. PLEASE PLEASE reconsider using USPS ground as an option, at least to Canada where it really is close and cheap and relatively fast to use ground mail.
We are def. not trying to rip you off and the issue is our fulfilment center only uses UPS not USPS, for ‘insurance purposes’. Based on the comments, we are investigating options for Canadian deliveries and will come back to people shortly once we have worked something out.
I feel your pain,i too know the strains of uploading pictures and cataloguing…
Even harder yet-rearranging the stock cupboards at indigo central…hours of hard,hard work.
@ least u get to experience the true atmosphere of ‘The Office’
Im sure the Indigo-go-girls are looking after your every need! watch out for some more than others before you know it they will be writing ur comments down on a post-it note…
eg. Porkchop does Pilates….grossly untrue.
Porkchop fancies Gary Lineker…should be obvious
Hi Alex, thanks for posting about us. Perhaps we should be more clear about our pricing when we send the brochure…though that’s challenging due to our pricing structure…maybe you have a suggestion? It works as follows: there are three registration levels (Individual, Business, and Reseller), and three pricing levels within them (Piece, Dozen, Case). So we’re looking at 9 different possible prices for an item depending on those two factors; the most expensive combo would be an Individual buying a single Piece, the least expensive would be a Reseller buying a Case, and everything else falls in between. We provide PDF price lists on our site once a user has registered that cover everything in detail, and a registered user on the site will always be shown the price applicable to them so there’s no confusion.
As far as the quality of the shirt, we use 100% combed ringspun African cotton in a specific weight (145 g) that is not particularly common, but is rising in popularity among fashion blanks…perhaps it’s the fabric weight that makes it feel “cheap”. As an aside, I decided to wear one of our shirts inside out because I wanted the logo on the outside; there was a tiny size tag sewn into the shoulder stitching (we no longer do this) that I thought I could just tear out easily with my hands. It took me about 15 minutes of wrestling to finally do it, so the shirts are definitely built solid!
Thanks again for taking the time to write about our shirts, and let me know if you have any other questions we can help with.
I send my cards two weeks after Thanksgiving, usually to surprise people on a Monday at longer distances when they get the mail, or to send my holiday wishes before the weekend ends, with the delivery date being on the second Saturday after Thanksgiving.
I am writing on behalf of the Boat Club at St Catherine’s College, Oxford. Our colours have degenerated over the years and we should like to get back to the correct ones which are MAGENTA & FRENCH GREY. “What” we buy is secondary to your being able to produce these colours but to give you an idea I am talking a number of crews who will be rowing (at least) in next year’s bumping racges at Oxford. You seem most likely to be able to produce these colours. The French Grey (background) is easy enough being just a very pale grey with a hint of blue and indeed Magenta SHOULD be simple because it is literally one of the three primary colours–but you’d be surprised (or maybe not). Any and all comments welcome. Thx
I was just emailing about getting leavers hoodies for my year at school. I was wondering if i could get the hoodies with names and numbers on the back of the hoodies in velvet material and an embroidered crest on the front. It would be greatly appreciated if possible.
hi l was wondering if tis possible to egt a quote for leavers hoodies with 08 at teh abck taht conatin names of teh students in year 13, a front crest with leavers 08 at teh bottoma and can you let me know what teh minimum order is. Also does teh order have to eb one colour or do you offer different ranges of colours. Thank you
I second Mr Matthews. What on earth is appealing about wearing a blazingly ugly shapeless T-shirt that demonstrates what an insipid fashion junky you really are? The word plays are…nothing to speak of. Embarrassing even. You are basically paying to have some designer/model/crap celebs name plastered on your front. It betrays an interesting shift in consumer culture from having an actual garment from said designer (as the desired accruement & status symbol) to where people are even gratified with iron on neo constructivist typography of…NAMES. Meanwhile, Mr Holland laughs all the way to the nearest Shorditch C**t’s watering hole.
P.S Whatever happened to those unbearable Toby Mott T-shirts with kiddy scrawl that hinted at ones masochistic/ pedophilic inclinations? Hmm?
AM AN EDUCATOR/TEACHER WORKING WITH 5-9 AND 9-11 YEAR OLD STUDENTS.
WOULD LOVE TWO OR THREE FREE T SHIRTS THAT WE CAN GIVE TO STUDENTS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NEVER HAVE A NEW T SHIRT TO WEAR TO SCHOOL. WE
ARE ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR THEM. LET US KNOW. THANKS!
I think the new Helly Hansen Workwear site is brilliant, it has everything on there you need especially for those of us that have to work outdoors or in the dark.
ben matthews and hater…
its called originality.. ok, so its merely just writing on a t-shirt… but kellogs make flakes of corn!?
thats pretty f**king bland
im sure henry holland would reply to your remarks with…
“DONT HATE ME, COZ YOU AINT ME!”
stop slating other peoples success’ and release your own clothing line
thanks
Whilst browsing Abercrombie and Fitch on the internet in the UK, I came across a women’s clearance page. I clicked on it to find the cutest garments, when I clicked on certain item to purchase it,it navigated away from that page and to the a&f UK homepage.
Does anyone know how I can go about purchasing the adorable sale items?
Hey, these bags look really cool. I don’t see why Jute isn’t used more; it’s simply BETTER than plastic. Jute has been used as a packaging material for centauries. I’m very into re-useable eco friendly products like these. I found some funky patterned jute bags too. It’s good that we’re now getting products like these designed that appeal to a wider audience. I have seen people who openly don’t care much about the environment and their affect on it carrying this style of bag. I’m not saying that’s the case of anyone here but I’m making the point that this sort of thing makes green issue popular with people who wouldn’t normally care. All good in my opinion.
Could you possibly inform me where this Indigo exhibition may be next displayed, and is there a catalogue . i was unable to make it to Brighton, Thank you
Aelethea Hill
A&F does not ship international, i live in Romania and i e-mailed them asking if they would send clothes here and they said definately no, they do not ship international and i should visit a actual store…so maybe somebody can tell me a internet site of a store that will ship me the items
Hi there,
Keen to get a rough estimate of price for price per unit of a hoody which had the Leavers 08 design on the back, with the names of the puils inside it. It will be somewhere between 40 and 80 pupils.
I think it’s great that a well know designer went for this and that many celebrities and fahionistas around the world supported her by wearing the bag in public.
hello, i am trying to organise leavers hoodies for my year at school, basically we probably have about 50-70 students interested and we would like, 08 written on the back made out of everybody in the years names, above that an individual nickname, and on the front our school logo and class or 2008 on it? any chance you could help?
Difficult to see how the fashion industry, eater of air miles, can even tip its hat towards energy conservation. I suppose it could introduce slacker chic…
Sorry to offend, I don’t really think there is anything wrong with Birmingham, per se, but the time it takes to get there is certainly an issue for us. It would be nice if could be held in different cities, like the capital, once in a while!
I bought a ouse of HOlland top from their official website two moths ago and they have taken my money.
I have not received the top and they have not replied to any of the emails I have sent them.
I sincerely recommend that you do not buy one of their tops as they will take your money and not give you your top or give you any help to locate your top.
My friend does something quite fun with his junk mail. He stuffs a whole bunch of it into one of those “no postage necessary” envelopes they send you to use to order their junk. The company that sent you the junk with the envelope has to pay the postage on that package of fliers and crap.
This is Nate with shipwire.com. We are helping Indigo handle their fulfillment for the WordPress t-shirts. The T-shirts can now ship out via USPS to make US deliveries much more cost effective.
We’re working with Indigo to ensure that Canadian and worldwide deliveries can be as cost effective. Our typical model is to help a merchant move inventory into the country (Canada) to cut shipping prices. The international aspect of the shipping such as customs, tax and shipper is what drives the fulfillment price (rather than just distance). We hope to be able to help Indigo and WordPress move inventory into Canada if the demand is there.
Thanks to Indigo for this opportunity and thank you to everybody on this blog for your passionate follow-up that we offer the best fulfillment experience to end buyers. http://www.shipwire.com/blog for more info or to contact us.
The shipping charges vary dependent on location rather than increasing the t-shirt price to subsidise shipping costs to far flung destinations. For a branded American Apparel t-shirt, that raises money for an excellent project, we think it is important the t-shirt unit price is not too high and have variable shipping charges that include tracking.
heyyyyyyyy
i love fashion and would love to work in the fashion industry! My abserlute i dol is maybe Tira Banks for the way she works the clothes and obviously Henry Holand
Love the new ‘green, the new black’ campange, save the planet yeeer even though its not very wide spread and i hadnt even heard of it before so get the campange advertised and it could go somewhere.

But to everybody else, it’s worth the wait to buy a shirt! I LOVE MINE
Hiya does anyone know where i can order womens clothing?
Cause on the actual website the postage is really expensive,
there are places for mens clothing but i cant find any for womens..
please help…
hi i was wondering how much it would cost to have about 60 hoodies with optional colour and sizing. which would have the names of all the leavers as the 08 and leavers printed above it. and then the crest embroided at the front on the left.
It seems that the launch has got some pretty negative press with papers running a working conditions story. Hardly the fanfare Gap Inc. would have wanted: http://tinyurl.com/32knm9
I am a year 11 pupil looking to produce 11-15 Hoodies with an 08(with all leavers names in) with a personlised names above each one so 11-15 slitghyl different hoodies but on one order.
Thanks for you comments about the British Library. As the manager of the Business & IP Centre I would have to agree about our amazing collection of free business information.
The reason for the stringent security is to protect what is one of the most valuable collections in the world. This also explains the requirement to leave coats and bags in the free lockers or cloakroom.
However as you say, it is worth the effort required in order to gain access to 150 million items in our collection.
I was going to attend myself but I couldn’t bear the thoughts of closing my doors for the day and losing potential sales. maybe next time! I heard it was an all right time all and all.
We print a lot of American Apparel t-shirts and they are great t-shirts for style and quality. We were actually considering creating a t-shirt store for computer tech t-shirts screen printed with different things. We should get a bunch of these t-shirts off you and sell them.
Interesting stuff. What I find particularly interesting about the whole vintage t-shirt craze is that the word vintage implies old and antique, whereas most t-shirt shops selling “vintage” tees are actually selling fakes Or am I missing something?
@Alex: yes exactly, the craze is for new stuff made to look vintage. The trend clearly isn’t just related to t-shirts or fashion, everybody seems to be at it. Look at the new Fiat 500 for example.
When I was there I really wanted to get a tailored jacket, but I just didn’t know who to trust (well, I knew not to trust the guys thrusting their cards at me every few seconds in TST!), if I ever go back I’ll follow your recommendation.
I am in actual shock at how unashamedly self-obsessed and lacking in compassion this bunch of knob heads are. It’s 2008, can these kids honestly be this unaware of globalisation and the exploitation of the third world? Really? Their constant moaning, condescension and blatant lack of empathy is, quite frankly, far more disgusting than any squat toilet or cow-dung filled street. Presumably (hopefully) by the end of the series they will have learned a little humility, but what about all the other spoilt brats who trawl the high streets, reaping the benefits of other’s misery?
Well done this was a truly enlighten prpgramme. This should be included in school sylabus. Not only did highlight the imbalance in the fashion industury but also the cultural difference and the unknowing disrespect towards things that are not the same.
I think this is great, the packaging is really origonal. i am studying fashion in London and have been scanning about the internet coz im looking for something like this. just wanted too let you know i think this stuff is wicked!
WOW, A REALLY CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE. IM GLAD YOU GUYS WENT TO INDIA TO NOT ONLY EXPERIENCE HOW THE CLOTHES WE WEAR ARE MADE BUT ALSO THE HARD WORK POOR PEOPLE DO IN ORDER TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES. AND IM SURE YOU HAVE THE UP MOST RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE OF INDIA NOW.
makes you realise how lucky you are living in the UK, as these poor people in india, live in squallor when compared even to the poor people in UK society. I now understand why the UK looks like paradise to the people of this region, a life is hard, and work is like prison slave labour. Now i understand why the UK is being flooded with asian immigrants looking for a much better quality of life in the UK.
Wow. I caught this on iPlayer, and it turned out to definitely be the most eye opening bit of procrastinating I’ve done in a while. I’ve mostly been a bit of a reluctant fan of Primark, as this ‘it’s sweatshop labour, don’t buy it!’ message has always been there, lurking at the back of my mind, but it’s now been most definitely confirmed. The accompanying bbc.co.uk/thread magazine was also fairly interesting, which is quite unusual for that kind of thing, in my experience anyway.
As I watched the 6 ‘fashion lovers’ I realised that, yes, they did appear like appallingly spoilt brats, but then I realised that their behaviour isn’t exactly uncommon in Britain. Most of the people I know would have given fairly similar reactions in the same situations and we are only a product of our situation after all.
I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the next episode, it looks like it’s only going to get worse for them, but even more gruesomely eye opening for the rest of us. I hope this programme makes some sort of impact on shoppers today.
Great show! Have recorded it for my children (11 and 9) maybe they will treat their clothes with respect and appreciate their priviledged lives using their freedom to do something about this injustice.
I Can’t believe the narrow mindness and blinkered outlook these 6 kids have! Richard grew up on a council estate so how can he be so blatantly rude and direspectful to the Indians. Amrita is a complete disgrace to the Indians her parents lived and worked hard from india to make her life better and she talks about her people like dirt!
I like the concept of the programme but the kids distract from the main purpose of the program
what a bunch of bullshitters themselves…….god this programme should be named as moaning in india….not blood,sweat and tears…….well they would sweat a lot by the time they finish moaning not working, and they call india a shithole, well i got a question…the indian ppl didnt beg u to go and work over there, u chose to do it, so there’s no reason for u to complaint……if u think its a shithole then u shudnt hv gone there
what a waste of money this programme is
Just watched the programme. These brats are unbelievable. They think everyone should be falling at their feet in gratitude for their every effort, and they are completely disrespectful to India. Compared to other British people their age who I live and work with here in England, their behaviour is utterly sickening. Whine, whine, whine. They talk back to their factory supervisors as if they know everything – such arrogance. Good thing they got a rude awakening in India and learned a bit of discipline and humility – hopefully it will improve their behaviour back home.
I think Blood, Sweat and T’Shirts has skimmed the surface which is a great starting point but it should also investigate which shops do make more of an effort to produce clothes in a more ethical way. Filming fairtrade manufacture of clothes and visit a British factory or independent retailer to compare. More investigative journalism please to give consumers the knowledge to help them make informed decisions!
There’s another reality that we are all overlooking. Its not just about what they are learning and we are looking at from a countries perspective. We can find hard working people in UK also, but in countries like India people need to work hard and live in demeaning conditions as most profit is made by the agents. We spent £30 – £40 on a shirt or a skirt which is actually about 3 grands in indian money, but they get mere 1 rupee. its shame and people in the retail who are dealing with such factories and on constant lookout for cheap labour should be answerable. We as consumers are also not happy while the labourers creating the stuff are also not happy.
You see the sad thing about people like you is that one day you’re going to start doing some thinking of your own, (wow how scary no privately educated journalists or internet scholars to plagiarise thoughts and opinions from to pass off as your own. Your dinner parties will never be the same again! Image the horror when your friends find out that your once thought of as bright self actual spends the weeks reading Hello magazine, listening to censored, biased and laughably independent news channels, oh and not to forget ‘real life documentary’s’ tackling the true issues of the world by an independent broadcaster that of course only cares about the greater good of mankind.) you’ll suddenly come to stark realisations such as David Copperfield can’t actually make the Statue of Liberty disappear, Wars are fought over power and money not to preserve the safety of the innocent, reviewers are failed journalists that serve to provide entertainment for the masses that are so bitterly unhappy with their lives that ridicule and rigour to those generationally different from themselves is their only escape, political correctness causes more abomination than it prevents, and shock horror ‘real life’ documentary’s are made by commercially driven privately owned production companies. Whether it be through ignorance, naivety or just plain stupidity that you don’t realise that when over six hundred hours worth of footage is shot for a 4 hour mini-series you can just as easily portray somebody to be the spawn of Lucifer as you can a descendant of Christ himself. I cannot even begin to explain the amount of inconsistencies, misrepresentations and at times blatant lies that were in the first episode alone!
Yes I accept that at times my choice of language wasn’t the most articulate and given the benefit of hindsight I should have toned down my level of obscenities. But to label me a spoilt brat or call me culturally ignorant because I found the conditions appalling is absurd. You may not have agreed with my choice of wording but I spoke the truth nevertheless when describing the environment I was in at the time, it was literally a sh*t hole. This is not to say that I had no compassion or sympathy for the people or I wasn’t completely outraged, appalled and disgusted at the conditions they lived in. The point I was making, which was obviously lost on many people amongst all the obscenities, as backed up by many a scholar throughout history is that in many ways the people I met contribute to their own downfall. If you still don’t believe this then I invite you to spend 6 weeks out there living and working alongside these people after which any criticism you want to point at me I will accept with open arms. But if like most I should imagine you’d prefer to scorn those that do care enough to investigate these conditions for themselves from your comfortable arm chair then I would ask you to not invoke the escape clause in your live and refrain from posting narrow minded comments about me on internet forums.
although this blog is a year old, i would like to point out as our dearest competitor continental clothing has a personal problem with our company , his views do not give you a proper realization of what he stands for, for someone who use to buy from us, what does this mean, was he selling unethical merchandice? B & B is the only company to be audited by both the Soil Assocition and the Fairtrade Foundation we have a completely transparent supply change, to give the consumer a choice of Fairtrade and normal shirt is a good thing, the whole production is ethical, at least we have not come up with a random idea of pretending to save the earth and using it as a marketing tool when in effect the cotton is not even 100% organic but it is conversion cotton, it seems that continental are afraid of someone being more committed to the environment than they are.

After the large Primark was opened to my amusement a few years back in Manchester, I slowly came to a conclusion without programmes or internet research – £2 for a 12 pack of knickers means someone’s getting a raw deal out there.
I have since researched and found a beautiful organisation – War On Want. WOW take real initiatives in respecting and funding those who produce such garments, taking real issues not with the workers or the consumers, rather the conglomerates that decide “Yes, £1.50 a day is a wage I am comfortable paying my workers”. I avoid Primark, I squint my eyes at TopShop fashions every now and then, and I try actively to find stylish yet fairly produced garments.
This programme has just echoed my personal beliefs, and I think the participants of the show deserve respect. They physically endured the temperatures, smells, attitudes, comfort or lack of, lack of sleep, constant psychological revelations and torments etc. They gradually transformed from being part of many varying ‘Typical Consumers’ to a minimal proportion of the population of consumers – the ‘Educated’ ones.
Well done chaps and ladies, I would have loved to have endured the experience myself, but having watched the programme I feel I’ve gained a substantial amount even from the comfort of my front room. Kudos especially to Stacey whom I can relate with being so taken back by the children’s optimistic outlook. I also respect Richard for his conclusions – it’s true, what Jamie Oliver has done for chickens someone can do for 3rd world labour. Ooh also, Tara’s (I think?) initiative to combine current trends with Fair Trade organisations is something no one dares to approach it seems in major stores. The potential there is enormous!
Basically, I’ve got food for thought here, and I’m quite proud of how the participants came out of the experience. Love to all, and to the BBC – please get this on Prime Time BBC1 one day! What a difference it could do.
I thought these programmes were eye opening – no matter how much we “know” about the dreadful conditions people work in, the visual impact of the series hit home. I would like, though, to see a series which shows what happened next. Who handles the stuff in the Uk, how musch are they paid and what about the companies selling the stuff? How much do their executives get? And, most importantly, the shareholders? Somebody must be creaming off the money. How can a T shirt retail for under a fiver when you consider all the labour and other costs which go into it? Even worse, how can somebody make a profit on selling a T shirt for under a fiver?
Hi,
not so many comments here… If you still want to give away L50 coupons, I would really appriciate that. My email is michal.till[at]hotmail.com. Thank you very much!
Thanks for evangelising welovelocal! Our top five things are:

The New Zealand Ultimate Frisbee Teams took 2XU clothing to World Club Championships in 2006. The run tops are superb – really well manufactured and very lightweight. I’m in the process of getting a full triathlon kit from them – Wetsuit, Cycle stuff and Compression – so helpful and accomodating. Ask for Aidan and tell them Cads sent you!
Hello,I thought you might be interested in a site I found.The web-site is very good and different and the range of shirts from political to funny is excellent they call them “pol-tees”Also free e-cards.I have just ordered two shirts from them,so have a look and see what you think.
well that’s sad, but fairly understandable giving the current economic situation worldwide. I just hope prices don’t go through the roof, my brother keeps complaining that it’s getting harder and harder to find good men’s dress shirts.

oh how divine, I also, one day, would love to live by the sea with a whistling kettle, altho.. I am not the biggest fan of the cold.. 30degree heat would be lovely thank you!
great tip on the apple chilling.. mine’s going into the fridge as we speak ;0)
If i’ve had a bad day I swig champagne from the bottle and if i could be a shoe.. a flip flop.. coz they live the beach bum life!
This is a nice blog… I’m quite interested… Is it just ok to exchange link with you? I hope you are interested… Here’s my blog http://www.sports-clothing.blogspot.com...
Oh yay I just can not wait to purchase a shirt as long as the shipping is right. Did I read a comment right, $10 for shipping, now come on that is just a rip off. Surely you can lower that to a maximum of $5.
Also I just checked out some shipping info and even $5 on shipping will be way too much. I agree with the commenter up there, no more than $3, I hope you will be offering more than just t-shirts though! A coffee mug would be what I would want most of all, considering how much coffee I need in order to write all the time!

I would like to know about ordering 8 shirts, fr81. 5 large and 3 medium. Colors not important as long as they are all the same. Also the price on fr81.
What is the cost, taxes, surcharges, delivery, how long etc. etc. to Milton Keynes, UK?
For our sports teams at our school we would like to order personalised water bottles. I understand that it would be too expensive to have names printed on them but how much would it be to put the box in which you can write your name with a school emblem. How much would it be to order about 100 of these 500ml bottles with a couple of couples please
Thanks, Louisa.
Hi, I’m looking for 50 – 60 rugby style shirts for staff uniforms. Interested in FR01 and FR77, various sizes, BRIGHT colours. Is there someone I can contact by e-mail for details of the sizes and colours you have available in these models?
Since this is a blog about student discounts, I thought I’d share my experience with getting student discounts with you. I live in New York and go to school in Boston- and I was looking for a certain discount one day when I came across StudentRate.com. I registered on the website for free, and soon enough I got to know about a ton of student discounts around my school AND in NY. It helped me save alot of money and it doesn’t cost anything which is really cool. Hope you guys take advantage of it too!
I just saw the three first episodes. It was aired here in Norway, which is great, but I don’t think most people can watch it because most people have don’t have the channel it was aired on here. Good thing is, it’s aired online (and it’s on the “HOT” list, so more people will probably watch it online that on the telly.
I know we are WAY behind of showing it, but atleast some people see it.. Better that noting right?
Atleast, this show (after the first episode actually) made me change my view about clothes. By the second episode I was crying(and I’m not the person that cries aboth “noting”). I feel really bad.. I just spent a lot of money on(compared to what the indian in “the fashion industy” make make in a day, or like a month, or a year) money on clothes I’m gonna wear once, for a bad-taste party…
I feel awful right now…
Congrats to the makers of the program, because you really showed me what “fashion” is all about…
Sorry for the spelling, the show got me so depressed I HAD to drink… And my red-wine was probally made by nine year olds… *shudders* Again, apologies for grammar, I’m slightly drunk and not english…
Just tried their new Voice It audio greetings. An awesome service where you can send a personalised message in your own voice with a personalised printed card. Our friend loved it when they heard us sing Happy Birthday and reminded Sally of the holiday in France.
I was bought a pair of Party All Night heels from Office for my 42nd birthday (hey, if SJP can do it, why can’t I?) They may look tortuous, but because of the platform the real heel is only actually about 4 inches. I wore them from 7pm until I teetered back to my hotel at 3am, had no blisters & stayed upright all night. They are certainly a conversation starter, at 5’9″ in my bare feet they turned me into a towering 6’3″ for the night & I must have been asked by at least half a dozen girls where I’d got them from.

Hi I wanted to know how much would cost to have about 36 leavers hoodies with optional colour(bright red/black/white/dark grey etc.)and sizing. As for printing:-
FRONT: Stover(in words)and its school crest at the top right hand side on hoodies. Students name writen on the side of sleeve.
BACK: LEAVERS(cap.letter) on top and with a big number- 09 (all student names printed inside 09) go under leavers.
How long will this take you to do?
Thank You!

Hey Richard, What you said there is great. Is it possible that if you read this you could please please get in touch with me? I have some questions to ask you which are really important. Thank you!
I was wondering if i could get a quote for about 150 hoodies with 09 on the back made up of the yr13′s names and then the name above and then the logo and school name on the front.
Thanks
Hi i have been given the task of organising leavers hoodies for our sixth form. There are only about 40 of us so i was just wondering how much it would be to get them done with the school logo and name on the front then 09 made up of everyones names on the back.
Thanks
The main reason is that the embroidery you see here has been scanned and so when pressed by the flat bed scanner, sometimes it looks more squeezed than it does in real life.
Secondly, small text suits the print technique over embroidery so it is always very important to consider using print if precision is required over style.
Our company’s bought loads of Helly Hansen stuff, from the Helly Hansen Workwear site, and it’s great.
It’s good to know that you’re wearing decent well-respecting clothing when you’re outside in the cold and wet trying to repair stuff! And it’s still got our company logo on it.
Better than the old stuff we used to have to wear wihich was rubbish and fell to bits after a couple of washes!
I need to know where to purchase Stedman crew neck all cotton tee shirts in CT zip code 06473 or surrounding area. 06512, 06511, 06513 is near us but any please in CT will do
I like your Dave shirts, who knew that so many Dave witticisms were possible?! But I think you should bring out a ‘Kate’ range too – my name feels a bit neglected
Our college is trying to buy some hoodies with printed logos on the front and leavers 09 on the back!!!!
We are trying to do this for as little cost as possible for our school enterprise program! We thought this we be a good idea and a good way to say bye to the people that are leaving college this year.
Please may you email me back what the best and cheapest item you can find please???

Sorry – we don’t know their phone number – we just reviewed them because we liked their designs. Sorry to hear about the problems you have had with them.
Wow, that’s an interesting interpretation of Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss. Its certainly a very different style to Klimt’s original, but still recognisable.

“Fashion fades, only style remains the same” and “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous” Who better than Audrey Tautou.
I’ve purchased online from http://www.Jazzano.com – excellent service, and perfect fit. Ordered a package deal of 5 shirts, in a tapered fit, and can’t recommend enough.
Was in China mid April and met with Edward @ E. Italian. The man is professional as he is kind and was nice enough to make time to take care of a made to measure suit and two tailored shirts. Three days later the suit was finished and after one fitting it was perfect. The level of detail was astounding as was his customer service and pure attention to detail. Most certainly a recommendation for future works and definitely hope others take the time to visit and get something made by him.
Hongkong tailor is far too expensive with the current recession. I have used Hongkong tailors 10 years back and i really feel Bangkok tailors are far much better with quality or where pricing is concern . I usually use the service of Excelsior.Excelsior tailor has a variety of fabrics to offer. It has an array of materials suitable to tailor make formal or working suits for both men and women. All of my recommendation to this place has been satisfied over the past years.
I have the same problem as Shelora: I ordered my t-shirt a month ago and have not received it. The website says it’s on backorder. Okay, fine, but I have emailed customer service a bunch of times to try and figure out when it will be ready and I have received no response: I’ve been emailing for 2 weeks now!
The products look amazing but they aren’t so amazing when you do not get the product you ordered.
which you can carefully match to bring out the colour of your eyes (because apparently that matters when you’re deciding what to wear). Made in India, your sari dress will be genuinely Eastern, and you can rest assured that when it was transforming from sari to stylish summer wear, everything was fair.
hey
the person at our school who was organising the leavers 09 hoodies now ‘cant be bothered’ and because of that about 15/18 people want a hoodie. i was wondering what is the lowest possible price you can give them to us, as many people dont want to be paying a lot for the hoodie

I ordered two shirts from their company in May. One of the shirts they sent me was the wrong shirt and I have been emailing them since May to try and figure out what I need to do to send it back…their company SUCKS. I have received NO response back. The only contact information I can find is email. They obviously don’t want to give a phone number out. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!
Richard is nothing but an arrogant Prick. And this guy grew up in a council estate.How can he be so arrogant and rude to people of India. Hey Dumbo no one invited you to go India.
Luckily this guy had a camera sticking up his a*s 24/7 when in India, or he would have got his a*s kicked in India. Before you blame the people of India and China for their problem, just learn what Britain did from 1700′s to 1940′s to these 2 countries. Reason why Britain is well off today is because of how these two countries were systematically looted and destroyed by Britain.
After watching the show , I have nothing but respect for people of India. Having been to India many times, I have seen first hand how much this country has developed in last 15 years. And I am sure India will be much more prosperous and well off country, in coming 15 years.
Hey im trying to order dtuff off the english abercrombie website but it wont process past the stage were i have them in my basket. Has anyone bought stuff off the abercrombie.co.uk site
Lol I’m now wondering what the stylish Grandma knitted cardigan looks like – plz can we have a pic? (kidding). Sorry about your poor baby cousin. Hope he’s now recovered from nearly being drowned in wool! )
heya, my school are going on a trip to italy and as year 11′s are want hoodies to wear with our school initials on the front and on the back we would like ‘ITALY’ and the number 10 underneath very big and inside the ’10′ we would like names of the people going on this trip, underneath that we would like our nicknames. i’ve seen it done and wonderd if it was possible that you could do it? and what would be the possible lowest price for around 8?
I’m afraid the same thing has happened to me…I’ve blown A$28 on a shirt that hasn’t arrived, and can’t get onto a real person via email. I am furious. I live in a small town in Western Australia where you either shop at Target or the old lady boutique on the high street, so when I found this store online I was really pleased. I ordered two t-shirts, and the one that has arrived is great, but these people either have very poor customer service skills or they’re just plain dishonest, I can’t track down a phone number for them, and calling within business hours is pretty tricky from Australia anyway. I wish I’d read this blog before ordering through their website. I’m thinking of pursuing the issue via Paypal – that’s the only thing I can think of to do.
They’re a new name to me (sorry if that shows my lack of knowledge on some aspects of fashion!) but I generally like the designs on their website and the pricing’s not unreasonable.
i feel like such a dope for not researching this company before giving them my credit card information to charge. when you google them, their website comes up as a secure one, but i too bought a t-shirt that i haven’t received. i tracked my package via usps and after a week it said that my address “wasn’t a deliverable one” and so it got returned. but when i went to check my account on their website, it was the correct address! i’ve been emailing them night and day but of course no one has responded back, and after reading these similar reviews, i’m guessing i should stop holding my breath.
I love that “Salut” “Cubesville” and its beautiful design, i really very like it wholeheartedly, it really very good idea to design a very good T-Shirt, i very really thank ful to you for give a good idea.
it is really very good design, i really like it, and it is my openion if you change your “Cubesville” T-Shirt colouring scheme it looking very good. just use light colouring scheme please try it and desplay it i hope you will get a very good and posative responce, i am giving you a openion because presently i have a T-Shirts shope in Germany (Frankfort) and some people ask me about and mostly people like light colouring.
Once again i am really very thank full to you for giveing a informatiable information.
I am Head Girl of Gateways School and we would like to order 24 hoodies for our leavers next year.
My design for the hoodie is very specific, I want a red hoody, with the pupil name and school logo on the front, and on the back a heart with the 10 in and all our names around the 10, inside the heart, our name over the heart and below the heart ‘GATEWAYS GIRLS’
We would like the detail on the front to be stitched and the back to be printed.
Could you reply as to whether you would be able to do this design, and how much they would cost per hoody. Could you also tell us the cost if all detail was printed?
The thing is If you don’t buy the clothes made by those Indian workers they go out off business and probably starve or die.
Yes, I don’t agree with the living conditions at all, but I don’t agree with boycotting shopping stores because of it.
Think about it, every time you buy a t shirt an Indian child gets fed and ok albeit not a lot but it’s better than nothing.
The reasons these marques can sell goods at such a high prices is because they have multi-million pound advertising budgets that elevate the consumers perception of the products worth.
A&F store in the US is quite cheap! But tey couldn’t send me my stuff internationally; there are some locations that they cant send to! But my room mates suggested using a parcel forwarding co called Shipito. I had my a&f stuff sent to their warehouse and then shipito guys sent it to me. I found them extremely cheap plus the brighter side I had my a&f hoody waiting for me
I adore this Jumper but cannot find it on the website! Do you know if it has sold out already? If not, do you know how I could get hold of it? Thanks xx
“Think about it, every time you buy a t shirt an Indian child gets fed and ok albeit not a lot but it’s better than nothing.

hello, i saw the oddica packaging on your website and was wondering if you guys can do a custom print with a different design, black background and white logo? thanks
I’ve had the same experience with Loops & Pluto. I ordered two t-shirts in November and received one of them, but not the other. One was on backorder, but they currently have it for sale on their website with nothing about it being backordered now. They charged me for both and will not respond to my repeated emails. It’s been almost 3 months now. I would advise anyone not to order from this company. I’ll definitely be placing complaints wherever I can in order to spread the word.
Same story. I was also ripped off by this awful company. Their website seems so legit but all they do is take your money and never send any product. I have been writing on their facebook wall, their twitter, their blogs, anything I can get my hands on to spread the word about these people. I advise anyone who sees this to do the same. Its outrageous to let them get away with this.
I love Loops & Pluto! I’ve bought from them over 10 times within the past 2 years and have gotten my shirts within 5 days of ordering. I find the complaints/hate mail on this blog very unusual. I’m definitely a fan of Loops & Pluto and their customer service.
Wow, I am so glad that those snobs did not come from the states. Not that we don’t have our own variety of ignorant fashionistas that have never worked a day in their life. How embarrassing! God forbid this show continues to put children in danger by getting them fired from there jobs and putting them back on the streets. India will eventually fix the mess that the British Empire created for them without western production companies sending over their clueless teenagers to publicly disrespect the people of India and reinforce the stereotype that westerners are all like they are.
How is it when one of the girls had to bring the blouses to the bosses office which seemed to be in walking distance, it was immaculate as well as the bosses clothes . Why is it a man who is in that office can’t see how inhumane it is to his workers not fight for them to have a clean environment.I think they can have a middle class if they just give up a few dollars and be compassionate. They have only upper and lower class of people because they won’t share and expects other countries to feel sorry for them and help them out, which I have to say is what I would like to do , it hurt watching Blood Sweat and T shirts .
There is absolutly no reason for anyone to sleep at work especially on a filthy floor when in the same building is a spacious clean area for them to sleep on.
Me and my husband were very pleased with our tailoring from Bangkok at Tailor Pro. I was even more pleased with the customer service. As my husband and brother in law haggled away over various outfits, I started to feel hungry and faint as we’d been in there a VERY long time. Above and beyond the call of duty, Sam suddenly brought us wonton soup and delicious snacks she’d brought from outside. he was incredibly funny and helpful and I wouldn’t hesitate to shop with her again!
Hi Catherine,
Happy to know your achievement so far and best wishes for future endeavors. Being into Fashion industry for quite some time, I believe that there is some trend that never catches cold. I’m taking about designs related to goth and horror culture. In my opinion Punk rock fashion industry is more fruitful than others, i want to know what’s your say on this.
Thanks
Of course a positive comment bucks the trend. On review websites that have a positive article, negative comments are to be expected. On review websites that attack a positive poster with an ad hominem, positive comments are really unlikely to be found!
People like to moan about delivery charges but when its the wrong size or wrong colour they expect it picked up for free, well nothing in life is for free somebody has to pay…
Hi Cath,
UOW are looking for inspiration from our students. We would like to expand the range of clubs at the University so people can purchase new club hoodies and club tshirts, which are proving very popular. If you have some witty, humourous and down right ridiculous ideas contact us at UOW with your ideas. If we use them we will send you some free club stash in the club you have created. Miss Wet Tshirt, Pub Golf, Dodgeball, Dance off are all very popular at the minute.
This season is all over the denim shirt. At first I thought ‘Naaah’ but the denim shirt has a certain power. It can turn the ‘Naaah’ into a ‘Oh actually’ and then a positive ‘Mmmm defs’. With all its persuasive techniques, this variation on a theme is hipster springwear at its finest.Fashion Guide USA
helo!! catherine u have a pretty face and a lovely smile.. i like your dress it looks like fashionable..im so amaze for this site i found styles that fits to slim shady bodies,hehe do u have anew style for emo wears?nevermind i hope this will go so far..tnx
hi
can you tell me roughly how the sizes of the collage hoodies equate to womens dress sizes
eg is 8-10 small 12-14 medium etc or is the scale different
thanks
To my shame I have to admit that I hadn’t come across LTDTees before your post (I know, I bow my head in shame..) but I love the concept. There’s so many reproduced designs on the market that everyone ends up looking the same so anything that gives a bit of exclusivity without a huge price tag gets a big thumbs from me!
They are absolutely correct.People like givers,i.e.” it is better to give than to receive”
Gets you noticed,promoted and remembered for ages if not forever depending on the type,quality and usefulness of the gift.
I sponsored customers of mine with printed T shirts and PVC capes for a charity bike ride they did in aid of Help for Heroes and the Cancer Campaign.This bike ride took place during the May bank holiday weekend and they raised over £9000 with more to come in to date.
“The point I was making, which was obviously lost on many people amongst all the obscenities, as backed up by many a scholar throughout history is that in many ways the people I met contribute to their own downfall. If you still don’t believe this then I invite you to spend 6 weeks out there living and working alongside these people after which any criticism you want to point at me I will accept with open arms. ”
a) These scholars tend to be rich like yourself and have to justify their own privileges. Prime example is Ayn Rand. Problem here is that you aren’t a scholar and referencing these as if it justifies your own broken ideas is a complete miss.
b) Your arrogance that you reprise here is what people object to. In the very show you fail to work yourself up given the same premise as the office workers.
I’m glad that you in the end of episode two at least show some development, but on the issue of global poverty you shouldn’t point out “laziness” as even being close to the main reason.
I disagree. Tradeshows are important opportunities for business owners to exchange ideas, give away imprinted products, and learn more about their industries.
I know some good other good camouflage clothing. It’s really amazing how camouflage designs dominate fashion, like accessories, clothing and furniture.
I see you know a lot about fabric, could you please tell me if http://memeshirts.us have quality products ? I really like some of their stuff but I don’t know about quality…
I have to say, although it’s quite pricey the quality of the clothing is out of this world. We have been ordering off them for a couple of months now and everyone has been happy with the quality. It’s out performed many rival brands like dickies and regatta, which is saying a lot.
I have noticed in recent years there has been a lot of focus more towards “fashionable” workwear and outdoor clothing. It’s funny how we worry about our appearance even when we are up to our knee’s in wet cement or covered in hi-gloss paint!
Very creative. I like this post. I believe that some people can get so bored of looking down and seeing that same old shirt even in just a few hours of wearing it. This is definitely the answer.
Finally, some stylish workwear! At least now we can look the part when were out on site. I ordered some of the heavy duty jackets a few weeks back as the weather has been terrible and they are so warm and snug!! Well worth that little bit extra.
On the down side, everyone thinks you’ve got loads of cash to waste because your dirtying a ‘Helly Hansen’ Jacket with gloss! =)
It is good that cycling is being taken on more in London. Get with the green revolution and even for just the weekend ride your bike and give old mother earth a break.
Loops and Pluto SUCKS…they take your money and a fake “shipped” email that never shows up. They never respond to emails or phone calls….cute shirts if you just want to look at them online…big boo to loops and pluto
Hahaha brilliant. I love funny t shirts, this has really brought some cheer to my day! Have you considered sending whatthefont.com one? im sure they would love it!!
i love red nose dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Good luck to them they’ve got a viral bug going and if they can make more money in the current financial situation then good lick to them. All the best “STAY ON YOUR FEET”
I am going to side with the opinion that Loops and Pluto blows! It’s all true, they take your money and don’t send the shirt. I am dedicating my time to add comments on any website or blog that says anything about this company. I call them everyday to leave hate voice mails as well. Find another website to purchase your shirts from. If you feel that this is a legitimate company, then you can refund my 25 bucks and you can have the shirt I ordered. I am thinking about coming up with my own Indie shirt that shows their logo in the toilet, with a note at the bottom that reads, ‘just takin a deuce.’
THANK YOU for the day-before- Mother’s Day delivery, although they were not “gifts” for M.D., I appeciate the thought!
I have so MANY of your shirts these are gifts!!!!
Im very worried with the cut backs in eco-businesses we could really see a decline in new eco-companies over the next couple of years. Lots of solar pv companies are going to struggle now the government has reduced the price the national grid willl buy electricity. It means solar panels could taken twice as long to pay off.
yeah this hoodie is great i gave two of this as a token of gratitude to my uncle’s for taking care of my family.. they both like the Cambridge hoodie ‘cos their both alumni. great job.
Sadly part of your youth that will never see the light of day again. I was the same with East Street Market in South London when I visited London again recently. Now unrecognizable! The same with Brixton!
Big corporate shopping malls were part of our future unfortunately, but the recession has slowed their march!

[...] In September we also sadly said goodbye to Michael Wallace (Mikey) who has gone back to his home country of Ireland to carry on with his studies. It is an understatement to say he will be sorely missed and Eleni is still pining after her ‘wingman‘. I first met Michael in April this year (2006). He was in fact an estate agent that was showing me around potential new office space for Indigo. Mikey was the nicest esate agent I’d ever met and unlike most others also seemed not to have over greased, spikey hair and an ego larger than the M25. He had a rubbish set of properties to show me around but he did so with enthusiasm and without being pushy. When I got back to the office I told Jo I didn’t have much luck with the office space but may have found the perfect new Client Services Team member. She shot me one of those looks that normally means, ‘I think you are nuts but who am I to argue, it is your funeral’. That week I emailed Michael thanking him for showing me around and asked him if he would like to apply for the vacant position we were advertising on our jobs page. The rest is history, so they say, and on this occasion, I am glad Jo was proved wrong, as Mikey was fantastic at the job and equally as much fun in the bar with a pint in hand after work. [...]

i agree that clean design and neccesary information is the way to go. i found this site called THE LIFE (www.experiencethelife.com) that does just that.
their designs are CRAZY! the marvin gaye shirt, the meat packing district (they’re based out of NYC), and their “i am the african dream” shirt.
it’s definitely worth a look.
Nice find!
Many t-shirt sites these days are heavily based on flash – I think it works well for small collections, Skwat, a Belgium company, is another good example I found yesterday.
Thanks for linking to Boriswatch! We’ve got our own Boriswatch T-shirts, you know…
Sold for £26 – thank you dvdynamics!
Hi Alex,
Just wanted to say thanks for the great review in your blog. Once again, we’re both impressed and pleased to come across a business that doesn’t like to hang around and just gets on with it.

Samples are available – what style, size, colour are you after?

i am looking for a polo shirt with embroidery on the front and printed on the back about 100 i have my own design and wording nothing offensive or racial thanks lizzie
Lizzie,
If you could email your designs to info@indigoclothing.com, we will sort out a competitive quote for you. We need to see how many colours are in the printed design and how big the embroidery is.
Many Thanks.
hi,
i just loved their website, i found it today, during a web design class…i’m wishing for that ibook tee!
can you tell me if they have an actual real store, and if so, the address?
thanks a lot!
Not sure if thay have a store – email the owner (kenza) and see what she says.
I agree. Finding a niche market that is focused is key to success on the net. The net is too big and it is the norm to get buried and unknown as a new website.
I found out this competition, thanks to my friend Paul that won their first contest and got the money three days later!
Please give me your impression.

I would like to recommend http://www.tasteetees.com for your blogroll. They are going international next week! Really fun site.
1) Azerbijan, Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Armenia
2) Rhino
3) Because it uses PDX technology
4) One. (Bunhill Row)
5) Depends on your analysis of secret/ constructive trusts
6) They were all monks of Ampleforth
7) Quebec.
AM I RIGHT??????????
b*gger. just googled the answers.
1) who wants to be a Muslim state when you can be a monk of Ampleforth anyway??
2) anything about to be shot by R Heathcote? (he needs something obvious to aim for)
3) Because it has a fast response time…and I’ll show you that in half an hour
4) No roads, but lots of dirt tracks
5) the man who manufactures special tents in Suffolk made from th skin of cranberries (big demand)
6) They were the original manufacturers of a very special type of chutney?
7) H14, Leander car park, Friday of Henley perchance?

Is it too early to send out Christmas cards?! Hmm… Being a ‘bird’, I’m a keen ‘buyer’ of cards, even purchasing the odd bargain in the January sales! By the time Christmas comes round once more, I’m hoping my cards are still flat, unmouldy/ un-beerstained and, furthermore, still fit for human distribution! I might be organised so far as the purchasing goes but I STILL have issues when it comes to writing the things out… I always leave it to the very last minute thinking I have LOADS of time and then, all of a sudden, Christmas is here and my cards are STILL lying underneath the couch waiting to be scribbled upon! Well, my friends, I recommend this is the LAST year we send cards. I propose that the ‘new black’ of Christmas cards in 2006 are e-Cards!?!! FAR Less hassle those – Less effort and save on stamps!!!! And anyway, we can always use the excuse that it’s good for the environment?!!! Bobs x

I met someone who knew Dickie at the weekend – he mentioned that he’d rowed at Newcastle so I casually asked whether he knew Richard Heathcote and he looked rather confused for a few seconds before exclaiming ‘Ohh! You mean Big Gay Rich!’
From the description, I had to agree that we were in fact talking about the same person.
Apologies to Dickie if you’re reading this.
Congratulations Indigo – let’s hope for 50,000 visitors next month
Thank you! We are averaging 1.4k visitors per day at the moment this month which would put us ahead of November but, as a certain associate would be quick to point out, Christmas is in the way and it is sure to depress this month’s figures.
On the subject of stats, seeing an interesting Alexa rank spike.
This kind of t-shirt is what I am looking for.
Please contact me back. I have a few questions to ask about having tee-shirts printed up. I would be very greatful.

Absolutely marvellous site and idea.
In this day and age is is usually very difficult to find reasonably priced clothing that has been manufactured in such a manner that keeps your conscience clear about it’s origins.
In a modern world built on greed and avarice, it is refreshing to see a user friendly company online who has a true state of morality.
Hi, we’re interested in purchasing water bottles for our football team. We only want a small number – 20 750ml bottles – purple coloured with the club emblem and then a name on each. Club emblem and name could be white or black. What sort of price are we looking at? Thank you
Dear Heather,
Thank you for your email.
For 20 items the cost per bottle would be £3.90 ex VAT.
Unfortunately we are not able to print invididual names due to the expense of setting up screens for individual runs.

If you would like to go ahead or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind Regards,
Jo Myronidis
Jo, thanks for your price – does that include the bottles being purple and a club emblem on them? Heather

I totally agree with your point about clear desk policy, especially in a company where staff have to deal with a lot of paper work and they are working on the same files for weeks and to top it up they do not have sufficient storage space. In such a scenario if the management is forcing them to clear away it would just ensure that more files and important paper work would be lost since just to comply with the company policy staff are just somehow hiding away stuff at each day end.
I work in such a company!!
Cheers

I entirely disagree with this stupid article. I feel that this company is creating a clever t-shirt that plays on violence and fear in todays society. It is however not offensive to me in any way. How could this be offensive to you? Are you that pussy that you can’t take a joke? Would you duck for cover seeing this relatively unrealistic image of a bomb on a t-shirt and then try to sue the company for making you **** your pants. You suck. **** You. I’m Out.

Excellent pictures from Wimbledon. They are a great doubles tennis team.
I am looking to order 100 bottles (500ml) – silver colour with a red cap. We are wanting to have a one colour print (Red) on the bottle.
Do you produce pre-production samples? And if so how long would it take for us to receive this from time of artwork approval? We are urgently needing to take a photo of one completed bottle for our new catalogue, but no major rush on the balance of 100 to follow.
Pls could you let me know as a matter of urgency, so that we can look to place an immediate order.
Many thanks
Richard
Is this ever going to happen??
Yes, sorry about the delay but with the busy season and an office move, this project got shifted to a back burner. The t-shirts are printed, they are in our office and we’ll get the promotion online ASAP.

We weren’t that bad in all honesty, I wasn’t anyway.
In fact, most bike / car tangles were a result of light hopping, sidewalk jumping and general highwaycode snubbery by bikers who just had to beat the taxi etc…not all, but some…and they had this game of who could balance at the lights without putting a foot on the ground until the lights changed, of course, this was facinating to watch for us Escort ridden couriers as some stayed uprigth with a few tyre hops for a good 4- 5 minutes.
The downside was that we were all so eager to get across the lights that as soon as they turned orange we let the clutch drop and floored it, often way quicker than balancing bike dudes could regain forward motion and sometimes, just sometimes, one would fall over at the last mo, and get bonked by a taxi , or worse, go to pull away and miss a gear and fall off….to be bonked by a taxi..or very rarely a white escort on the Edgeware Road onto Marbel Arch..ahh happy days….
You wanma know the trick to staying alive on a bike in London, not including a helmet?…wear a bright tee shirt!!…and i’m certain you know someone who can get you one of those….
adios.
Your comment made us laugh. I agree actually, I am amazed at the number of cyclists who flout the highway code.
I’ll see if I can find a bright t-shirt in the sample cupboard
Also as an aside, worth looking at is the London Cycling Campaign http://www.lcc.org.uk/
Is this refreshing or what?
Need a ‘T’ (or two) to give away whilst in Cuba.
hi…there i’m from indonesia looking for latest design for clothing… i ‘m new build clothing shop…plz help me
Nice one.
Oddly enough, I wrote some music for a video my mate made years ago for C4, sort of a docuvid about what it’s like to be a courier in London, way back in ’94, featuring a classic gumball style race we used to have from Wapping High Street to Parliament Square and Creechurch McDonalds to Plum Tree Court…that featured a few of our biker pals performing assorted hi jinks on the pavements and one doing a back to the future stylee bumper hanger on a london bus…all the way through the underpass on Lower Thames street…happy days, happy days…
All came to an very hasty end for me in ’93 when I was the last vehicle to use Bishopsgate before the lorry took it out 15 minutes later that saturday morning. I had my 15mins of fame and so did my white van..but got too nervous driving in town again, went to Delta in kent instead..darn those pesky terrorists…it turned from dodgy bikers to dodgy caravans..
All the best with the tee shirts…
849.
Could you give me a price on 100 botles with my logo printed on the side, white bottle with navy blue top.
Can you let me know time scale etc.
Many thanks,
Les
Awareness is the key I believe, as we enter into a new era of global awareness, the next generation are going to be more environmentally savvy and ethical values will out weigh value for money. Consideration of these ethical values will include local support of struggling economies, growth for third world countries, moral environmental decisions etc
I’m out to convert all Londoners onto two wheels (without engines) and it sounds as if you’re sitting on the fence. I’ve haven’t been in an accident and can’t really say I’ve been close to one (I’m knocking on mdf).
You can always rent one from velorution for a week and see how it goes. If it’s not your thing then just wait until they make central London a pedestrian and cycle only zone.
I might go for one of those bright Tees though just in case.
Dude im not sitting on the fence;), I don’t come down to the old smoke much anymore, I live on a farm in the midlands and cruise the crops in a £250K New Holland combine…..whitevanman bit the London dust many moons ago…and now NOTHING gets in my way ‘cept some cheeky wheat that always loses….watch Pixars’ CARS and check out the bit featuring Frank…that’s me….for real…
849 off.
Lets look at the whole picture. The task is not simply to persuade people to buy organic products but to be aware of who they are buying from and who their money is going to. We know this and we have to make sure that the word keeps spreading that diversity and quality are better than a quick consumer fix.
yes we use Saf and I can say that the quality is excellent
All for fair trading about time things got on an even playing field, nice clothing and a true start at bringing the world together by paying proper wages for a fair days work…..
would like to order some samples, what is the min. order and what are the prices?
Jennifer,
Please give Eleni a call in our office on 0207 329 7711 and she can sort out samples and pricing for you.
I want to start a private label at the end of the summer if I get a loan, and I love that have good (CSR) and I was wondering if you’ll be offering organic hoodies.
Check out http://www.carl-eton.com
Hi ! Nice blog. Come and see my blog. I print them too. Click on BOUTIQUE EN LIGNE. See ya !
for me this shirts look all the same, aren’t they? I mean it doesn’t depand if it is threadless, teetonic, and so on.
This is a very good blog love reading it, i must say looks like a great party judging by the pictures.
Hello!
I really like the site – it’s very smart and easy to navigate! The itinerary function is fantastic, and hugely important as travellers increasingly want to organise trips that deviate from the standard itineraries often suggested. Excellent maps and photographs and enticing write ups (South America is especially informative!). Mali and Colombia will have lots of new photographs very soon! Well done! X
Thank you very much for the praise, we really appreciate it! We very much look forward to your photos being added.
I’ve been ordering stuff from Artus Clothing at http://www.artusclothing.com because they have a few designs that really pop, and the quality seems really good.
Great Blog. I’ll be coming for some more.
that’s not very helpful at all–you didn’t answer the question–and i have no idea cause i was wondering the same thing, lol
This site is interesting i like it to much. Cork’d T-Shirts is nice and attractive to look at, how i wish i can wear a T-shirt like that.
Just ignore it – it’s not from a human. It’s an automated posting from some lowlife company trying to make money out of boosting their clients Google rankings. Do not respond to it – remove it from your forum and then Google for ways to prevent it happening again!
Cheers
Andy
I guess this should hot-up competition in the organic suppliers world then! Looking forward to learning more about Continental.
I saw it on whatonearthcatalog.com, but the t shirt is sold out, there is a sweatshirt
You can now download the PDF catalogues for Result on our downloads page.
I think it is a matter of time
That seems apt. Ange was a friend of mine at Cambridge and she was a really lovely girl and incredibly hard working. She also loves the army and thoroughly deserves the Sword of Honour, and also the ‘server of honour’ from Indigo-go…
Thanks Indigo and Annie (you’re a rowing legend now!!) Yesterdays parade was truly amazing and it’s great that so many people have heard about it. Thanks for all your support.
These shirts definitely are pushing the envelope of what one would consider “in good taste” but that being said I personally find them to be pretty humorous.
I work the front desk at Naked Motel a small indie clothing firm that is trying to push the envelope of sexuality without crossing into the vulgar or gross category. Most of the current designs revolve around the company’s trademarked name Naked Motel targeted to young women,the shirts seem to be selling pretty good. It would appear to me that men arn’t the only ones that are thinking about sex.
Just my two cents.

Do you think this will improve their sales? I know a lot of people don’t like buying from American Apparel because of Dov… but I would assume that there are a lot of people who DO buy from them because of the risque image he’s created.
I just hope they continue not embellishing their imprintables…
Merry Christmas to everyone at indigo.
that shirt is awsome. can u buy em anywhere?
Yes:

What a great idea! It must’ve been a hard task to organize but if they manage to pull it off then 10 points to them
They need to get out there and advertise it a bit more!
I am on the school fund raising team and I am looking for approx 250 plain drinking bottles for the school (ages 4 years – 10 years). Each child will be given a bottle and it wil be used continuously through the school day. Could you please give me a quote for this.
Thank you for help.
Michelle,
Eleni (eleni@indigoclothing.com) will be in touch today with a price for you.
Thanks for contacting us.
Well the election theory was a good one but seems that 2004 would have been where the spike should be if that was correct:
http://www.ereleases.com/pr/2004-04-01b.html
In what vein is the term organic development used here? We use organic development as a term to refer to living systems that grow or shrink naturally. SO we offer business services that encourage ‘organic development.
We are using it in relation to the growth of the organic apparel product range available in our market.
How do get organic T0shirts – is it the cotton they are made from> – adnd if it is where does the cotton come from – if it is flown here doesnt that undermine the organic nature of it? – James @ Organic Development
seems like a good idea, actually

Hi
I love your blog and the information you offered, that’s great! I’ll come back to see whether any other helpful information posted.LOL. http://www.sparkinapparel.com is also a good company I founded, maybe it’s helpful.
Cheers
HI we are looking to puchase around 350-400 clear bottles for our primary school. We would need a place for each child’s name and a company’s logo, who we are hoping will sponser us. Bottles will be used all day, every school day so need to be robust.
Thanks

I think we should give up cars altogether and start surfing through the streets! In cool shoes!
I’m really loving the 80′s style coming back. I’ll be honest I was until recently one of those guys who never saw the 80′s as a big deal perhaps as I was born in them and so never really get to appreciate them first time around. However I’m really loving the t-shirt, that was my first ghetto blaster, as the music has not stopped since! Also great from the 80′s Thundercats, cartoons have not been made the same since, recently bought myself a vintage Thundercats bag….amazing!
Take care
Stefan

Thx
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t go to Printwear and Promotion. I did – I went on Sunday I and sent my staff on Monday and Tuesday.
By going it gave me the chance to renew old acquaintances, meet new faces, find out about new products and new ideas. I send my staff not just for the same reasons but to confirm to them that they are part of a vibrant and solid industry – that they are a part of an industry they can be proud of. Most of all we go to give our support to that industry.
It is very easy to critisize something – it’s a simple matter of running your fingers over a keyboard. It takes far more effort to support. But thousands of us gave that support again this year. Exhibitors spent many thousands of pounds and months on planning. People flew in from many parts of the world and the rest of us spent time and money to get there.
What we got out of it was down to the individual but what our industry got out of it was our combined support.
I’m sorry, for whatever excuse, you decided not to give yours.
I agree it provides an opportunity “to renew old acquaintances, meet new faces, find out about new products and new ideas” with the convenience of these opportunities being in the same place at the same time.
I am by nature a cynic (you may have guessed) and see these fairs as lacklustre and ultimately an opportunity for the organisers to make money from exhibitors. I would rather commit my time (and my staff’s time) to sales in March and, should I need to deal with suppliers, use the wonders of modern communication technologies rather than drag myself up the M40.
Printwear and Promotion is a great show for:
People just coming into the industry which there are plenty of.
Seeing what’s happening in the industry.
Finding new products and suppliers.
I think is a useful show (which could be improved). I just wish it wasn’t in Birmingham every year.
I own “Generation T” and have made several awesome shirts with it. Just making them was so much fun! You can even get your little siblings, cousins, or neighbors in on it with the “No Sew” projects like I did. And the response at school and just around town was amazing. People would come up and ask where I got my shirt or my skirt. I’d tell them I made it, and they would just go, “Wow.” It makes you very proud of yourself. I love T-shirt reconstruction!
cool! maybe i will order a couple shirt
should send printed Ts
hi there

Well, what can I say, it’s a great news! The fact that people began to think about the future of the nation can’t be set aside. But of course,there are people,who remain followers of cigarettes’ smoking and drinking beer.

Hey there. Where can I get the rest of the wicked designs for the House Of Holland “Fashion Groupies” line of tees? do holla back at me. thanks
how much is a t-shirt?
i heard eco-friendly t-shirts are not so eco-friendly because it takes more energy to make them…
I think you get both. Since buying jute bags I no longer use plastic bags but at the same time this is a very cool bag.
one of your links is broken.. in case it matters
Thank you for your replies. I would suggest taking a look at his official page http://www.houseofholland.co.uk, his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/houseofholland or checking out Urban outfitters stores, although from personal experience his stock seems to fly out! Good luck!
It’s ok saying use this bag to help the Environment but, with the amount of shopping I get I would have to purchase about 5 of these bags & betting that there will be none left any way when they do decide to sell them in sainsbury’s
or wherever..it’s such a ‘con’ all we have to do is re-use our carrier bags we get with our shopping, my mum & me save the bags for the next time we go…simple!..
inigoclothing will be worn proud and loud by me and will advertise ur site on mine its all good when its free make mine lrge please
if any 1 needs cheap sim cards mail me allanwinters@3mail.com
keep the freebies comin
I have to admit, I love the design of the bag. It is a bag that makes you feel like taking it out for a spin around the shops. However, I have to agree with the opinion that this might be out of fashion within in a few months time. The discerning shopper is always looking for something new to sling over her shoulder (or is that just me?). With that said, i do think it is a great alternative to a plastic bag.
I think the movement to get rid of plastic bags is something we should all be apart of, in one capacity or another. I read in the news a few weeks ago that there is a school in the South of England banning children from bringing plastic bags to school. I have a small business which actually focuses on creating ‘fashionable alternatives’ to the ghastly plastic bag. The most popular is our waterproof swimsuit bag. In the past I have used plastic bags, but my luggage always ended up smelling and my clothes a bit damp. Not nice to find after suffering from jet lag and post holiday blues.
I am interested to see how other companies and designers find fashionable designs to get rid of those pesky plastic bags.

I’ve been to Montalcino…and Montepulciano and Monte this and Monte that. I love Italy. The food, oh, the food. But enough of that dreaming…
Er, is it me or is it a little strange that they are selling kiddie shirts with wine glasses? Little kids and alcohol is a bit of a strange mix, you have to admit.

True – I never thought of that!
I have started a private label clothing line and would like to know if would manufacture my designs. I would also be interested if you do samples and what the cost would be.
Thank you, Julie
or perhaps they were made for incredibly petite women??
If you like this kind of thing you may also want to check out Uneetee too.
What a wonderful blog, it has inspired me to try something new, thanks Adam!
I agree with the comments in the blog…id like more students to break away from the usual tshirts and hoodies. i love the mesh caps idea, but one of the key things with students – they would have to be very cheap, or free, but im sure if they were bought in a large enough quantity, the price would be reasonable.
On a blog level, this is possibly the best blog ive ever read…the author deserves recognition
peace out
fantastic idea, there is only a small tesco near me, and when i see the clothing on the T.V its very frustrating not being able to buy any of it. The sooner the better.
`Hi there`
Just thought you`d like a laugh on me with http://www.hoodwinked.biz a site full of published cartoons, si-fi and award winning advertising so if nothing else have a laugh on me, if you look up melvin charlton levey on Yahoo you`ll see my award winning watercolour work judged by the association of illustrators as the best in the u.k and europe Dec 06
my daughter has one and she loves it she takes it everywhere with her but surprise surprise not one person has commented on it which has really upset her
Hi
I was one of the lucky ones to get a bag this morning too, got to my local Sainsburys at 7.30am to a queue of over 50 people I was on my way out as and a lady told me to get a ticket – apparently not all Sainsburys nationwide were selling 30 bags per store this particular store was selling 239 and another was selling 500.
I hope everyone enjoys their bags and maybe look forward to adding to their collection – other anya bags will be out in June from USA and Japan
kiss my ass
To make a real difference try out these re-usable batteries from USBCELL (http://www.usbcell.com/pr/13 ) , there are over 15 billion alkaline batteries thrown away each year which is unsustainable.
It totally non-sense people selling that for £255 on ebay, They are getting crazy to bidding on it.
what the meaning of bag at the first place?????
They will Always be in fashion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use mine all da time and its such a bonus there enviromentaly Friendly
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I think anything that cuts down on the number of plastic bags we produce, use then throw away is a great idea. I have recentle made a decision not to use plastic bags after learning how long they take to decompose, I think it is 125 years. I now even use biodegradable poop bags. If we all do a little it will make a big difference.
For those people interested in Green issues, check out London College of Fashion’s ‘Green Week’:

Wine consumed with moderation may have a beneficial effect on health. You’ll find that belief all over Italy. Many Italians do give wine to their children; it is not taboo in Italy.
Cool!
There’s no shame in that. Does it really matter if this is a PR stunt if it is something to help the environment? At least they are business savvy enough to realise what currently matters to the public (hopefully this topic will not fall out of favour in the next few months when other issues may seem more pressing). I am hoping that more companies will follow suit, because if this is a bandwagon that Selfridges has jumped on, it really isn’t that bad of one.

I’M LOOKING FOR ABERCROMBIE’S T-SHIRT,POLO’S AND JEANS.I LEAVE IN ATHENS GREECE AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN BUY THE ITEMS FROM THE ABERCROBIES LONDON SHOP.THANK YOU
I think the problem we have got to is as follows: if you spend 50p extra on a jar of fairtrade coffee, you actually expect there to be some measurable difference in the person that grows the coffee. After all, that is the whole point of the concept. So when you read something like this it is tempting to go and shout at a wall.
You start to wonder if it would be more efficient to go and give the farmer 50p yourself.
As has been pointed out on this blog before, the challenge for ethical clothing brands is to provide a promotional product that is high quality, sensibly priced and easily available. As well as being more ethical. Which is a tough cookie to crack.
But I think it can be done – a certified and marked organic cotton product, with full transparency. This means that the consumer can go and find out exactly where the product she/he has in hand came from, when and where it was made, the conditions – maybe even how much people were paid. And at a price considerably more competitive than at present. This isn’t greenwashing or marketing, but a deliberate action to attempt to tell people about where their products came from. And I think they have a right to know that information in order to make an informed choice.
Lots of neat Italian t-shirts here http://www.cafepress.com/italianthings
You Know it!! You can buy 2XU sports apparel online at http://www.2xuqld.com.au
Did you know that two new designs have just been launched on the BALTIC art gallery website – http://www.balticmill.com/shop?
The slogans are linked to a new exhibition at the gallery – Dazed and Confused Vs Andy Warhol.
There are three more that say “I’LL SHOW YOU WHO’S BOSS KATE MOSS” “SHE MAY BE PLASTIC BUT BARBIE’S GYMNASTIC” and “LET”S PLAY NAKED TWISTER LINDA EVANGELISTA” I absolutely love these shirts!
I give henry kudos on the wordplay.
A very entertaining chart…
the house of holland tees are £35 from his website house of holland and u can bu them onlne
Where can I get the “Treat me mean Alexander McQueen” Shirt? I looked online at his website and at Barneys but I can’t see it. Thanks.

Great movie! Loved every minute! Good to see a true story played out in so much style
was it really next to you!??
Yes, ‘Poultry’ is the building opposite ‘Bucklersbury House’ on Queen Victoria Street.
This company rocks. I ordered 7 shirts, got them 3 days later, all perfect – nice soft prints. They’re one of the few companies out there with more than dumbass movie lines printed on t’s and lame one liners – these guys actually have original, new and GOOD artwork and they do it justice on the t they print it on…! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Tom B.
These printers have been talked about a little bit on T-shirtforums.com; nobody seems to be able to discern what exactly their ‘Rehance’ process is. It’s apparently not just waterbased screenprinting, and is not only a printing process but includes garment dyeing. Any ideas at to what sets it apart (besides their green facilities)?
Extremely useful
Funny to stumble acros my own words on your site.
I actually started today online reading about green issues, notably searching for sustainable energy for my factory in Turkey.
I agree with what Alex wrote above about my quote; in a wider context he is correct and I am incorrect, but it pleases me that he did understand what I really meant, which is that I do not like companies who blatently and massively inflate their actually almost non-existent green credentials, for example, B&B Leisurewear, who say on their website “B&B are fast becoming known as a major UK supplier of fairly traded, organic cotton clothing. As such, we are leading the way to address the issues of pollution and exploitation in the clothing industry.” Utter drivel.
“That is why our Organic Cotton is 100% free from synthetic fertilisers, soil additives, defoliants and genetic modifications. Our refusal to use these will go some way to help restore the environmentís natural balance.”
What about the other 95.5%? of their T-shirt sales which are not organic? They are not refusing to use synthetic fertilizers & pesticides on these, are they? Any T-shirt manufacturer that says how wonderful they are for selling a handfull of organic T-shirts while producing 100′s of thousands of conventional T-shirts is…, well you decide. Then there is the marketing tool “Sweatshop Free” which implies that everyone else makes their T-shirts in a sweatshop. It was this that I was particularly refering to with my quote. Companies who say they “pay above the minimum wage” or “above the national average”. Gosh, how kind.
And don’t AA actually fly their T-shirts into Europe? More Co2 anybody?
Sol’s now have organic t-shirts, and Fairtrade marked T-shirts, but not Organic Fairtrade T-shirts, which they should ideally be says PAN UK (Fairtrade, but still poisoning the farmers?); I did point this out to Alain this week at Fespa, and he agreed with me.
I could continue writing for days, but I will not, just to say that there are infact many companies who conduct their business in a responsible way, and who have always done so, who do not make unrealistic and misleading claims. Perhaps it is those that shout the loudest about how good they are, without being transparent, that we should be asking the most questions about.
try qcumclothing.com they have some decent Abercrombie & Fitch items and I think they ship to Greece.
Hei,
Thats funny man. I like that a lot.
I’m heading over in a week from Dublin, could you tell me how much a pair of jeans costs?? oh and abercrombie.com ship to most countries

Sold to a nice guy called Neil. We even gave his helper a cool glass of water! Thanks for all the interest.
I love this shirt!
Definetly try http://www.qcumclothing.com they have a decent range, its authentic and cheaper than the UK Abercrombie shop. They also do free shipping, my items came the next day.
The price for the shirt is reasonable, but $9.75 for shipping and handling? Ugh.
Will,
Thanks for the feedback. Shipping costs have been reduced slightly but we are using UPS to ship orders which ensures there is a tracking number and insurance. Of course shipping also covers the pick and pack costs.
Alex
Guys… It’s great to hear that you went out of your way to make it international, and that you’ve got some fancy distribution scheme, but the Canadian prices are AWFUL.
$17.50 of SHIPPING on a shirt that only costs $17.00 is not only outragously high, it’s ridiculous and kind of pathetic. Do you actually expect anyone to pay twice the price of the shirt because of delivery? And can you imagine an actual human being who is so concerned with tracking numbers and packaging that they are comfortable with these luxuries doubling the price?
Lets get serious guys. Canada is very close to the states. You can ship a shirt to Canada from the states for $5. Either you’re trying to rip us off (I don’t think you’re trying to rip us off, so…) or you’ve just made a very very bad business decision regarding mail providers. You will not sell very many shirts this way. PLEASE PLEASE reconsider using USPS ground as an option, at least to Canada where it really is close and cheap and relatively fast to use ground mail.
Jeremy,
We are def. not trying to rip you off and the issue is our fulfilment center only uses UPS not USPS, for ‘insurance purposes’. Based on the comments, we are investigating options for Canadian deliveries and will come back to people shortly once we have worked something out.
Thanks for your feedback – we are acting on it!
Katie,
I feel your pain,i too know the strains of uploading pictures and cataloguing…
Even harder yet-rearranging the stock cupboards at indigo central…hours of hard,hard work.
@ least u get to experience the true atmosphere of ‘The Office’
before you know it they will be writing ur comments down on a post-it note…
Im sure the Indigo-go-girls are looking after your every need! watch out for some more than others
eg. Porkchop does Pilates….grossly untrue.
Porkchop fancies Gary Lineker…should be obvious
Refer to old blog post: http://www.indigoclothing.com/blog/pork-chop/
Much love to you all,and i’m looking forward to the new office party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when is it??

Hi Alex, thanks for posting about us. Perhaps we should be more clear about our pricing when we send the brochure…though that’s challenging due to our pricing structure…maybe you have a suggestion? It works as follows: there are three registration levels (Individual, Business, and Reseller), and three pricing levels within them (Piece, Dozen, Case). So we’re looking at 9 different possible prices for an item depending on those two factors; the most expensive combo would be an Individual buying a single Piece, the least expensive would be a Reseller buying a Case, and everything else falls in between. We provide PDF price lists on our site once a user has registered that cover everything in detail, and a registered user on the site will always be shown the price applicable to them so there’s no confusion.
As far as the quality of the shirt, we use 100% combed ringspun African cotton in a specific weight (145 g) that is not particularly common, but is rising in popularity among fashion blanks…perhaps it’s the fabric weight that makes it feel “cheap”. As an aside, I decided to wear one of our shirts inside out because I wanted the logo on the outside; there was a tiny size tag sewn into the shoulder stitching (we no longer do this) that I thought I could just tear out easily with my hands. It took me about 15 minutes of wrestling to finally do it, so the shirts are definitely built solid!
Thanks again for taking the time to write about our shirts, and let me know if you have any other questions we can help with.
Best regards,
Erik
This is another good place to find Abercrombie and Fitch shops online
SmartPlanet have a good howies article.
I send my cards two weeks after Thanksgiving, usually to surprise people on a Monday at longer distances when they get the mail, or to send my holiday wishes before the weekend ends, with the delivery date being on the second Saturday after Thanksgiving.
I found one there: http://www.tshirtoutlet.com/2031.html
I am writing on behalf of the Boat Club at St Catherine’s College, Oxford. Our colours have degenerated over the years and we should like to get back to the correct ones which are MAGENTA & FRENCH GREY. “What” we buy is secondary to your being able to produce these colours but to give you an idea I am talking a number of crews who will be rowing (at least) in next year’s bumping racges at Oxford. You seem most likely to be able to produce these colours. The French Grey (background) is easy enough being just a very pale grey with a hint of blue and indeed Magenta SHOULD be simple because it is literally one of the three primary colours–but you’d be surprised (or maybe not). Any and all comments welcome. Thx
I was just emailing about getting leavers hoodies for my year at school. I was wondering if i could get the hoodies with names and numbers on the back of the hoodies in velvet material and an embroidered crest on the front. It would be greatly appreciated if possible.
Some great designs I just wish I had thought of them.
Please send details of garments made from organic cotton. IE. Hoodies, tee shirts etc.
Greer,
You can see the details here:
http://www.indigoclothing.com/printing-embroidery/Organic_Cotton/
i have the same problem, but i guess if you do not care if you receive one back anywhere from dec 1 to dec 20
Kane,
Stephan will drop you an email.
hi l was wondering if tis possible to egt a quote for leavers hoodies with 08 at teh abck taht conatin names of teh students in year 13, a front crest with leavers 08 at teh bottoma and can you let me know what teh minimum order is. Also does teh order have to eb one colour or do you offer different ranges of colours. Thank you
I forgot to explain who ‘Gees’ is! He is a Finnish friend of Jo and Steph’s who was great and ‘fixed’ everything for us. A true champ!
I second Mr Matthews. What on earth is appealing about wearing a blazingly ugly shapeless T-shirt that demonstrates what an insipid fashion junky you really are? The word plays are…nothing to speak of. Embarrassing even. You are basically paying to have some designer/model/crap celebs name plastered on your front. It betrays an interesting shift in consumer culture from having an actual garment from said designer (as the desired accruement & status symbol) to where people are even gratified with iron on neo constructivist typography of…NAMES. Meanwhile, Mr Holland laughs all the way to the nearest Shorditch C**t’s watering hole.
P.S Whatever happened to those unbearable Toby Mott T-shirts with kiddy scrawl that hinted at ones masochistic/ pedophilic inclinations? Hmm?
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you, lets hope 2008 will be great!
Just launched this new brand called MonkeyFist. Check it out at monkeyfistbrands.com.

AM AN EDUCATOR/TEACHER WORKING WITH 5-9 AND 9-11 YEAR OLD STUDENTS.

Thanks Josh – have made you “site of the day” on our homepage.
thanks, and we hope 2008 will be a shining year for us
That’s great, thanks Alex.
Any chance of getting on the celebrated favourite t-shirt websites list at all in return for some t-shirts?
(though it was worth a try!)
Already done before your generous offer

a&f ships wordwide, my friend from madrid bought some clothes and came in like 3 days…
Cool stuff!!
I think the new Helly Hansen Workwear site is brilliant, it has everything on there you need especially for those of us that have to work outdoors or in the dark.
{partially edited – para removed – AW}
ben matthews and hater…
its called originality.. ok, so its merely just writing on a t-shirt… but kellogs make flakes of corn!?
thats pretty f**king bland
im sure henry holland would reply to your remarks with…
“DONT HATE ME, COZ YOU AINT ME!”
stop slating other peoples success’ and release your own clothing line
thanks
Whilst browsing Abercrombie and Fitch on the internet in the UK, I came across a women’s clearance page. I clicked on it to find the cutest garments, when I clicked on certain item to purchase it,it navigated away from that page and to the a&f UK homepage.
Does anyone know how I can go about purchasing the adorable sale items?
IS THERE ANY SHIRTS FOR YOUNGER GIRLS WITH NICE CLEAN STUFF?
This position has now been filled.
I tried the same thing with the mens clearance items and emailed A & F. Apparently the sale items are only available to the US market
Alex,
Thought u’d appreciate the Pantone reference!
We will be carrying on this promotion in 2008
Hey, these bags look really cool. I don’t see why Jute isn’t used more; it’s simply BETTER than plastic. Jute has been used as a packaging material for centauries. I’m very into re-useable eco friendly products like these. I found some funky patterned jute bags too. It’s good that we’re now getting products like these designed that appeal to a wider audience. I have seen people who openly don’t care much about the environment and their affect on it carrying this style of bag. I’m not saying that’s the case of anyone here but I’m making the point that this sort of thing makes green issue popular with people who wouldn’t normally care. All good in my opinion.
Sally
Could you possibly inform me where this Indigo exhibition may be next displayed, and is there a catalogue . i was unable to make it to Brighton, Thank you

Guys! Don’t give ALL my pancake day secrets away! Peanut butter rules!
A&F does not ship international, i live in Romania and i e-mailed them asking if they would send clothes here and they said definately no, they do not ship international and i should visit a actual store…so maybe somebody can tell me a internet site of a store that will ship me the items
Helly Hansen is definitely the way to go for any real sailing.
Like your products, think your site looks great, can you customise your products with an imprint.
How has the move been? I was looking for a follow-up post.
Bill
Im from Ireland and i could order a&f clothes from abercrombie.com it didnt take long so i dont know why it wont ship to places in Europe…..!
Hiya Bill,
Good point, will try to get a follow-up done this week!
Yes – we can customise with an imprint?
you can find these bags here:
http://ledesigns.com/imnotaplasticbag.html
whilst a great idea that site has been down for ages
very interesting
The new site is looking great and very easy to navigate!
Hi there,
Keen to get a rough estimate of price for price per unit of a hoody which had the Leavers 08 design on the back, with the names of the puils inside it. It will be somewhere between 40 and 80 pupils.
Hi Myles,
Stephan will email you a quote! Have a good weekend.
fantastic
I think it’s great that a well know designer went for this and that many celebrities and fahionistas around the world supported her by wearing the bag in public.
Sophie
hello, i am trying to organise leavers hoodies for my year at school, basically we probably have about 50-70 students interested and we would like, 08 written on the back made out of everybody in the years names, above that an individual nickname, and on the front our school logo and class or 2008 on it? any chance you could help?
thanks
Hi Victoria,
Jo or Steph will send you a quote via email.
Difficult to see how the fashion industry, eater of air miles, can even tip its hat towards energy conservation. I suppose it could introduce slacker chic…
Maman.
I guess one persons humourous is another persons offense, but the worst of these are just plain creepy… I mean, you just wouldn’t… would you..?
Yeah, the shipping costs are insane for a t-shirt…
I was intrested in leavers hoodies would you be able to print these off for my sixth form year 13. How much cost would we be looking at for around 60?
Toby,
Quote is on its way. It is advised people email their quotes to info@indigoclothing.com as we can’t publish quotes on the blog.
Whats wrong with Birmingham? You are so Arrogant!
Sorry to offend, I don’t really think there is anything wrong with Birmingham, per se, but the time it takes to get there is certainly an issue for us. It would be nice if could be held in different cities, like the capital, once in a while!
I bought a ouse of HOlland top from their official website two moths ago and they have taken my money.
I have not received the top and they have not replied to any of the emails I have sent them.
I sincerely recommend that you do not buy one of their tops as they will take your money and not give you your top or give you any help to locate your top.
Cool shirt, red colour is my favourite one
Is the shipping price better now for our T-shirt yet? A shirt could be shipped for $3.00 or less, $10.00 is just a rip off.
you’re right, font loving isn’t something often shared.
new shirts out this weekend (8th March) with more slogans.
My friend does something quite fun with his junk mail. He stuffs a whole bunch of it into one of those “no postage necessary” envelopes they send you to use to order their junk. The company that sent you the junk with the envelope has to pay the postage on that package of fliers and crap.
Hello,
This is Nate with shipwire.com. We are helping Indigo handle their fulfillment for the WordPress t-shirts. The T-shirts can now ship out via USPS to make US deliveries much more cost effective.
We’re working with Indigo to ensure that Canadian and worldwide deliveries can be as cost effective. Our typical model is to help a merchant move inventory into the country (Canada) to cut shipping prices. The international aspect of the shipping such as customs, tax and shipper is what drives the fulfillment price (rather than just distance). We hope to be able to help Indigo and WordPress move inventory into Canada if the demand is there.
Thanks to Indigo for this opportunity and thank you to everybody on this blog for your passionate follow-up that we offer the best fulfillment experience to end buyers. http://www.shipwire.com/blog for more info or to contact us.
Nate
Thank you for the feedback.
The shipping charges vary dependent on location rather than increasing the t-shirt price to subsidise shipping costs to far flung destinations. For a branded American Apparel t-shirt, that raises money for an excellent project, we think it is important the t-shirt unit price is not too high and have variable shipping charges that include tracking.
heyyyyyyyy
i love fashion and would love to work in the fashion industry! My abserlute i dol is maybe Tira Banks for the way she works the clothes and obviously Henry Holand

Disclaimer: Indigo has printed t-shirts for the LSE Union before (Jan/Feb 08)
can anyone tell me, are the website prices the same as the store prices in london?
even more advertising for wordpress?
You have a very good shirts.
i live in ireland, they ship internationally from the states but then u get hit with customs tax! it cost me 435 to buy and they arrived in 4 days. then 2 weeks later i got a letter from customs saying i owe then 210E in import duties!!
BEWARE!
The leaflet arrived today, addressed to “In The Go” Clothing!
Great venture guys hope it goes okay. You should come up with some “cool” tees rather than just the wordpress logo.
Great tshirt for the font/interweb geeks.
can someone provide me with a telephone number for the london branch because the 0844 4125750 and 0207 2979400 numbers dont work? I want a jacket in medium but the website has only small?
To curlyclem,
that’s funny because I had no problem. Nor did many other people I’m sure. Perhaps you should cal them. The shipping does take some time.
But to everybody else, it’s worth the wait to buy a shirt! I LOVE MINE
Nice color, look like Liverpool’s football-jersey
Hi,i dont have a plastic bag yet but i really want one where do u get them from cuz i cant find them anywhere ? plz tell me
Hiya does anyone know where i can order womens clothing?
Cause on the actual website the postage is really expensive,
there are places for mens clothing but i cant find any for womens..
please help…
hi i was wondering how much it would cost to have about 60 hoodies with optional colour and sizing. which would have the names of all the leavers as the 08 and leavers printed above it. and then the crest embroided at the front on the left.
Hi Louisa,
Stephan will email you a quote!
That is a pretty nifty idea. You’re right, though, they do have a fascination with vending machines over there.
looks great!
I should clarify and say the t-shirts aren’t dispensed from vending machines. The t-shirts are just in tubes on the shelves.
The store was huge at three levels, with one whole level dedicated to t-shirts in every single Pantone colour.
It seems that the launch has got some pretty negative press with papers running a working conditions story. Hardly the fanfare Gap Inc. would have wanted:

Great clothing website, excellent design

I’m not sure about dresses or pants, but if you’re looking for women’s dress shoes, you can find them at http://www.shoekiosk.com.
Indeed, it’s a shame that new allegations broke concerning the company’s use of sweatshop labor…
I love the brand though
Hey
I am a year 11 pupil looking to produce 11-15 Hoodies with an 08(with all leavers names in) with a personlised names above each one so 11-15 slitghyl different hoodies but on one order.
is that possible and what would it cost?
This is an obvious parody of a public figure. Social commentary also. All of that is protected by the first amendment.
These are some great tips, for someone who is starting out. Thank You!
Thanks for you comments about the British Library. As the manager of the Business & IP Centre I would have to agree about our amazing collection of free business information.
The reason for the stringent security is to protect what is one of the most valuable collections in the world. This also explains the requirement to leave coats and bags in the free lockers or cloakroom.
However as you say, it is worth the effort required in order to gain access to 150 million items in our collection.

Look magazine also featured lots of pastel shades in a spring feature this week!
I was going to attend myself but I couldn’t bear the thoughts of closing my doors for the day and losing potential sales. maybe next time! I heard it was an all right time all and all.
We print a lot of American Apparel t-shirts and they are great t-shirts for style and quality. We were actually considering creating a t-shirt store for computer tech t-shirts screen printed with different things. We should get a bunch of these t-shirts off you and sell them.
You cant go wrong with giving away promotional gifts like this. Everybody loves free stuff no matter what the stuff is!
I am one of the participants for this programme, and i deffo recommend watching it… Its going to be a real eye opener to the fasion industry!
You have presented some very good tips. Good Stuff.
You have given me an idea for my printing business in Australia. Thanks!
Very cool shirts, but should have more styles to choose from. Nice though.
Can we get these in Australia?
@Jon: Yes – you can purchase from the ‘world’ store
Do you know it “Indigo-A Blue to Dye For” will be touring anywhere besides Washington DC in the US?
Interesting stuff. What I find particularly interesting about the whole vintage t-shirt craze is that the word vintage implies old and antique, whereas most t-shirt shops selling “vintage” tees are actually selling fakes
Or am I missing something?
@Alex: yes exactly, the craze is for new stuff made to look vintage. The trend clearly isn’t just related to t-shirts or fashion, everybody seems to be at it. Look at the new Fiat 500 for example.
@Rhian: Sorry I am afraid not.
Those t-shirts are great. I found some really cool ones on this site cool t-shirts. Bought a couple myself. No slaps but lots of smiles..
When I was there I really wanted to get a tailored jacket, but I just didn’t know who to trust (well, I knew not to trust the guys thrusting their cards at me every few seconds in TST!), if I ever go back I’ll follow your recommendation.
A great programme and a real eye opener. Showing the real deal.
Hopefully it will make many people in the UK think a little more deeply about the real world.
Well done to all who took part and were involved.
I am in actual shock at how unashamedly self-obsessed and lacking in compassion this bunch of knob heads are. It’s 2008, can these kids honestly be this unaware of globalisation and the exploitation of the third world? Really? Their constant moaning, condescension and blatant lack of empathy is, quite frankly, far more disgusting than any squat toilet or cow-dung filled street. Presumably (hopefully) by the end of the series they will have learned a little humility, but what about all the other spoilt brats who trawl the high streets, reaping the benefits of other’s misery?
Well done this was a truly enlighten prpgramme. This should be included in school sylabus. Not only did highlight the imbalance in the fashion industury but also the cultural difference and the unknowing disrespect towards things that are not the same.
Thank you
I think this is great, the packaging is really origonal. i am studying fashion in London and have been scanning about the internet coz im looking for something like this. just wanted too let you know i think this stuff is wicked!
WOW, A REALLY CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE. IM GLAD YOU GUYS WENT TO INDIA TO NOT ONLY EXPERIENCE HOW THE CLOTHES WE WEAR ARE MADE BUT ALSO THE HARD WORK POOR PEOPLE DO IN ORDER TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES. AND IM SURE YOU HAVE THE UP MOST RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE OF INDIA NOW.
makes you realise how lucky you are living in the UK, as these poor people in india, live in squallor when compared even to the poor people in UK society. I now understand why the UK looks like paradise to the people of this region, a life is hard, and work is like prison slave labour. Now i understand why the UK is being flooded with asian immigrants looking for a much better quality of life in the UK.
Wow. I caught this on iPlayer, and it turned out to definitely be the most eye opening bit of procrastinating I’ve done in a while. I’ve mostly been a bit of a reluctant fan of Primark, as this ‘it’s sweatshop labour, don’t buy it!’ message has always been there, lurking at the back of my mind, but it’s now been most definitely confirmed. The accompanying bbc.co.uk/thread magazine was also fairly interesting, which is quite unusual for that kind of thing, in my experience anyway.
As I watched the 6 ‘fashion lovers’ I realised that, yes, they did appear like appallingly spoilt brats, but then I realised that their behaviour isn’t exactly uncommon in Britain. Most of the people I know would have given fairly similar reactions in the same situations and we are only a product of our situation after all.
I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the next episode, it looks like it’s only going to get worse for them, but even more gruesomely eye opening for the rest of us. I hope this programme makes some sort of impact on shoppers today.
Great show! Have recorded it for my children (11 and 9) maybe they will treat their clothes with respect and appreciate their priviledged lives using their freedom to do something about this injustice.
http://www.myspace.com/saynotofashion
I Can’t believe the narrow mindness and blinkered outlook these 6 kids have! Richard grew up on a council estate so how can he be so blatantly rude and direspectful to the Indians. Amrita is a complete disgrace to the Indians her parents lived and worked hard from india to make her life better and she talks about her people like dirt!
I like the concept of the programme but the kids distract from the main purpose of the program
what a bunch of bullshitters themselves…….god this programme should be named as moaning in india….not blood,sweat and tears…….well they would sweat a lot by the time they finish moaning not working, and they call india a shithole, well i got a question…the indian ppl didnt beg u to go and work over there, u chose to do it, so there’s no reason for u to complaint……if u think its a shithole then u shudnt hv gone there
what a waste of money this programme is
I will be very happy if by the end of programme these kids learn about the reality of backstage fashion industry and of course ‘ THE MANNERS’
Just watched the programme. These brats are unbelievable. They think everyone should be falling at their feet in gratitude for their every effort, and they are completely disrespectful to India. Compared to other British people their age who I live and work with here in England, their behaviour is utterly sickening. Whine, whine, whine. They talk back to their factory supervisors as if they know everything – such arrogance. Good thing they got a rude awakening in India and learned a bit of discipline and humility – hopefully it will improve their behaviour back home.
hi.
I want your pdf magazine. please
I think Blood, Sweat and T’Shirts has skimmed the surface which is a great starting point but it should also investigate which shops do make more of an effort to produce clothes in a more ethical way. Filming fairtrade manufacture of clothes and visit a British factory or independent retailer to compare. More investigative journalism please to give consumers the knowledge to help them make informed decisions!
There’s another reality that we are all overlooking. Its not just about what they are learning and we are looking at from a countries perspective. We can find hard working people in UK also, but in countries like India people need to work hard and live in demeaning conditions as most profit is made by the agents. We spent £30 – £40 on a shirt or a skirt which is actually about 3 grands in indian money, but they get mere 1 rupee. its shame and people in the retail who are dealing with such factories and on constant lookout for cheap labour should be answerable. We as consumers are also not happy while the labourers creating the stuff are also not happy.
You see the sad thing about people like you is that one day you’re going to start doing some thinking of your own, (wow how scary no privately educated journalists or internet scholars to plagiarise thoughts and opinions from to pass off as your own. Your dinner parties will never be the same again! Image the horror when your friends find out that your once thought of as bright self actual spends the weeks reading Hello magazine, listening to censored, biased and laughably independent news channels, oh and not to forget ‘real life documentary’s’ tackling the true issues of the world by an independent broadcaster that of course only cares about the greater good of mankind.) you’ll suddenly come to stark realisations such as David Copperfield can’t actually make the Statue of Liberty disappear, Wars are fought over power and money not to preserve the safety of the innocent, reviewers are failed journalists that serve to provide entertainment for the masses that are so bitterly unhappy with their lives that ridicule and rigour to those generationally different from themselves is their only escape, political correctness causes more abomination than it prevents, and shock horror ‘real life’ documentary’s are made by commercially driven privately owned production companies. Whether it be through ignorance, naivety or just plain stupidity that you don’t realise that when over six hundred hours worth of footage is shot for a 4 hour mini-series you can just as easily portray somebody to be the spawn of Lucifer as you can a descendant of Christ himself. I cannot even begin to explain the amount of inconsistencies, misrepresentations and at times blatant lies that were in the first episode alone!
Yes I accept that at times my choice of language wasn’t the most articulate and given the benefit of hindsight I should have toned down my level of obscenities. But to label me a spoilt brat or call me culturally ignorant because I found the conditions appalling is absurd. You may not have agreed with my choice of wording but I spoke the truth nevertheless when describing the environment I was in at the time, it was literally a sh*t hole. This is not to say that I had no compassion or sympathy for the people or I wasn’t completely outraged, appalled and disgusted at the conditions they lived in. The point I was making, which was obviously lost on many people amongst all the obscenities, as backed up by many a scholar throughout history is that in many ways the people I met contribute to their own downfall. If you still don’t believe this then I invite you to spend 6 weeks out there living and working alongside these people after which any criticism you want to point at me I will accept with open arms. But if like most I should imagine you’d prefer to scorn those that do care enough to investigate these conditions for themselves from your comfortable arm chair then I would ask you to not invoke the escape clause in your live and refrain from posting narrow minded comments about me on internet forums.
If you are in the UK, check out BBC iPlayer if you missed the latest epsiode:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/b00b6tx7.shtml
this is the great programme Showing the real deal.
You always remember companies who send you great gifts. It’s a great way for businesses to advertise their brand all year round!
although this blog is a year old, i would like to point out as our dearest competitor continental clothing has a personal problem with our company , his views do not give you a proper realization of what he stands for, for someone who use to buy from us, what does this mean, was he selling unethical merchandice? B & B is the only company to be audited by both the Soil Assocition and the Fairtrade Foundation we have a completely transparent supply change, to give the consumer a choice of Fairtrade and normal shirt is a good thing, the whole production is ethical, at least we have not come up with a random idea of pretending to save the earth and using it as a marketing tool when in effect the cotton is not even 100% organic but it is conversion cotton, it seems that continental are afraid of someone being more committed to the environment than they are.

After the large Primark was opened to my amusement a few years back in Manchester, I slowly came to a conclusion without programmes or internet research – £2 for a 12 pack of knickers means someone’s getting a raw deal out there.
I have since researched and found a beautiful organisation – War On Want. WOW take real initiatives in respecting and funding those who produce such garments, taking real issues not with the workers or the consumers, rather the conglomerates that decide “Yes, £1.50 a day is a wage I am comfortable paying my workers”. I avoid Primark, I squint my eyes at TopShop fashions every now and then, and I try actively to find stylish yet fairly produced garments.
This programme has just echoed my personal beliefs, and I think the participants of the show deserve respect. They physically endured the temperatures, smells, attitudes, comfort or lack of, lack of sleep, constant psychological revelations and torments etc. They gradually transformed from being part of many varying ‘Typical Consumers’ to a minimal proportion of the population of consumers – the ‘Educated’ ones.
Well done chaps and ladies, I would have loved to have endured the experience myself, but having watched the programme I feel I’ve gained a substantial amount even from the comfort of my front room. Kudos especially to Stacey whom I can relate with being so taken back by the children’s optimistic outlook. I also respect Richard for his conclusions – it’s true, what Jamie Oliver has done for chickens someone can do for 3rd world labour. Ooh also, Tara’s (I think?) initiative to combine current trends with Fair Trade organisations is something no one dares to approach it seems in major stores. The potential there is enormous!
Basically, I’ve got food for thought here, and I’m quite proud of how the participants came out of the experience. Love to all, and to the BBC – please get this on Prime Time BBC1 one day! What a difference it could do.

I thought these programmes were eye opening – no matter how much we “know” about the dreadful conditions people work in, the visual impact of the series hit home. I would like, though, to see a series which shows what happened next. Who handles the stuff in the Uk, how musch are they paid and what about the companies selling the stuff? How much do their executives get? And, most importantly, the shareholders? Somebody must be creaming off the money. How can a T shirt retail for under a fiver when you consider all the labour and other costs which go into it? Even worse, how can somebody make a profit on selling a T shirt for under a fiver?
Good work
I would definitely agree, I purchased a suit from Edward a month ago when in Hong Kong and was very impressed.

The New Zealand Ultimate Frisbee Teams took 2XU clothing to World Club Championships in 2006. The run tops are superb – really well manufactured and very lightweight. I’m in the process of getting a full triathlon kit from them – Wetsuit, Cycle stuff and Compression – so helpful and accomodating. Ask for Aidan and tell them Cads sent you!

well that’s sad, but fairly understandable giving the current economic situation worldwide. I just hope prices don’t go through the roof, my brother keeps complaining that it’s getting harder and harder to find good men’s dress shirts.

Great intro Kate – looking forward to all your posts!
Hi Kate…
An interesting read!!!
Look forward to hearing more!
oh how divine, I also, one day, would love to live by the sea with a whistling kettle, altho.. I am not the biggest fan of the cold.. 30degree heat would be lovely thank you!
great tip on the apple chilling.. mine’s going into the fridge as we speak ;0)
If i’ve had a bad day I swig champagne from the bottle and if i could be a shoe.. a flip flop.. coz they live the beach bum life!
Great post, looking forward to the next one! x
We have in fact found two bloggers – Kate and Flea! Look out for their posts!
http://www.indigoclothing.com/blog/hello-from-kate/
Hi!
This is a nice blog… I’m quite interested… Is it just ok to exchange link with you? I hope you are interested… Here’s my blog http://www.sports-clothing.blogspot.com...
email me at xersmith29@gmail.com
I’m waiting for your response…
Thanks.
I’m a sucker for checks. Specially Tartan. I feel that the whole look is cool.
Oh yay I just can not wait to purchase a shirt as long as the shipping is right. Did I read a comment right, $10 for shipping, now come on that is just a rip off. Surely you can lower that to a maximum of $5.
Also I just checked out some shipping info and even $5 on shipping will be way too much. I agree with the commenter up there, no more than $3, I hope you will be offering more than just t-shirts though! A coffee mug would be what I would want most of all, considering how much coffee I need in order to write all the time!
I don’t know who scares me more in that photo! Great stuff Flea – looking forward to your fashion themed musings!

If I ever hear Robert Peston talking on the BBC news about “these credit crunchy times” I’ll smugly know where he got the amazing phrase from!
I would like to know about ordering 8 shirts, fr81. 5 large and 3 medium. Colors not important as long as they are all the same. Also the price on fr81.
What is the cost, taxes, surcharges, delivery, how long etc. etc. to Milton Keynes, UK?

For our sports teams at our school we would like to order personalised water bottles. I understand that it would be too expensive to have names printed on them but how much would it be to put the box in which you can write your name with a school emblem. How much would it be to order about 100 of these 500ml bottles with a couple of couples please
Thanks, Louisa.
Hi, I’m looking for 50 – 60 rugby style shirts for staff uniforms. Interested in FR01 and FR77, various sizes, BRIGHT colours. Is there someone I can contact by e-mail for details of the sizes and colours you have available in these models?
Thank You
Hey guys!
Since this is a blog about student discounts, I thought I’d share my experience with getting student discounts with you. I live in New York and go to school in Boston- and I was looking for a certain discount one day when I came across StudentRate.com. I registered on the website for free, and soon enough I got to know about a ton of student discounts around my school AND in NY. It helped me save alot of money and it doesn’t cost anything which is really cool. Hope you guys take advantage of it too!

nice post, i like the picture.
I just saw the three first episodes. It was aired here in Norway, which is great, but I don’t think most people can watch it because most people have don’t have the channel it was aired on here. Good thing is, it’s aired online (and it’s on the “HOT” list, so more people will probably watch it online that on the telly.
I know we are WAY behind of showing it, but atleast some people see it.. Better that noting right?
Atleast, this show (after the first episode actually) made me change my view about clothes. By the second episode I was crying(and I’m not the person that cries aboth “noting”). I feel really bad.. I just spent a lot of money on(compared to what the indian in “the fashion industy” make make in a day, or like a month, or a year) money on clothes I’m gonna wear once, for a bad-taste party…
I feel awful right now…
Congrats to the makers of the program, because you really showed me what “fashion” is all about…
Sorry for the spelling, the show got me so depressed I HAD to drink… And my red-wine was probally made by nine year olds… *shudders* Again, apologies for grammar, I’m slightly drunk and not english…
Brand evangelist or brand slut?
Is this real loyalty or just lust?
Just tried their new Voice It audio greetings. An awesome service where you can send a personalised message in your own voice with a personalised printed card. Our friend loved it when they heard us sing Happy Birthday and reminded Sally of the holiday in France.

Hi,
Just what form of torture do u specialize in? Imagine going anywhere in those heels. I think I would have a massive backache!
Done and done.
I was bought a pair of Party All Night heels from Office for my 42nd birthday (hey, if SJP can do it, why can’t I?) They may look tortuous, but because of the platform the real heel is only actually about 4 inches. I wore them from 7pm until I teetered back to my hotel at 3am, had no blisters & stayed upright all night. They are certainly a conversation starter, at 5’9″ in my bare feet they turned me into a towering 6’3″ for the night & I must have been asked by at least half a dozen girls where I’d got them from.
Don’t let the height put you off, they are actually rather comfortable! I am saving up for a pair of the 8″ babies that Christian Louboutin is bringing out next season. I would post a photo of me in the infamous shoes if I only knew how! x
…good shout for organic clothing
wow saf have really extended their range of organic clothing

Hi I wanted to know how much would cost to have about 36 leavers hoodies with optional colour(bright red/black/white/dark grey etc.)and sizing. As for printing:-
FRONT: Stover(in words)and its school crest at the top right hand side on hoodies. Students name writen on the side of sleeve.
BACK: LEAVERS(cap.letter) on top and with a big number- 09 (all student names printed inside 09) go under leavers.
How long will this take you to do?
Thank You!
Hi Kitty,
This will take us 7-10 working days. Stephan will email you a quote today.

Cheers!
I was wondering if i could get a quote for about 150 hoodies with 09 on the back made up of the yr13′s names and then the name above and then the logo and school name on the front.
Thanks
Hi Cadi,
Someone in our sales team will be in touch!

Obama would look nice in one of your Hoodies.
Wrap the high flier up warm this winter with a branded hoodie from indigo!

Hi i have been given the task of organising leavers hoodies for our sixth form. There are only about 40 of us so i was just wondering how much it would be to get them done with the school logo and name on the front then 09 made up of everyones names on the back.
Thanks
The letters look messy and uneven. The number 8 looks blobby.
There are two reasons for this:
The main reason is that the embroidery you see here has been scanned and so when pressed by the flat bed scanner, sometimes it looks more squeezed than it does in real life.
Secondly, small text suits the print technique over embroidery so it is always very important to consider using print if precision is required over style.
Our company’s bought loads of Helly Hansen stuff, from the Helly Hansen Workwear site, and it’s great.
It’s good to know that you’re wearing decent well-respecting clothing when you’re outside in the cold and wet trying to repair stuff! And it’s still got our company logo on it.
Better than the old stuff we used to have to wear wihich was rubbish and fell to bits after a couple of washes!

I need to know where to purchase Stedman crew neck all cotton tee shirts in CT zip code 06473 or surrounding area. 06512, 06511, 06513 is near us but any please in CT will do
I especially like the cake design. I’ll be honest, anything with a cake on it is good with me.
everywearstore.com
well kate, it seems balcony has treaded into our territory.
dave and i wonder where they got there ideas from…
davewear.com perhaps?
I like your Dave shirts, who knew that so many Dave witticisms were possible?! But I think you should bring out a ‘Kate’ range too – my name feels a bit neglected
disappointing that indigo would promote a site that is obviously ripping off a small business….
Our college is trying to buy some hoodies with printed logos on the front and leavers 09 on the back!!!!
We are trying to do this for as little cost as possible for our school enterprise program! We thought this we be a good idea and a good way to say bye to the people that are leaving college this year.
Please may you email me back what the best and cheapest item you can find please???

I need a customer service phone number, I would like to talk to somebody about my shirt
Sorry – we don’t know their phone number – we just reviewed them because we liked their designs. Sorry to hear about the problems you have had with them.
Wow, that’s an interesting interpretation of Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss. Its certainly a very different style to Klimt’s original, but still recognisable.

I will go for some hen night tees myself for my sister’s hen night that is coming soon.
My 2 favorite quotes from her:
“Fashion fades, only style remains the same” and “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous” Who better than Audrey Tautou.
I’ve purchased online from http://www.Jazzano.com – excellent service, and perfect fit. Ordered a package deal of 5 shirts, in a tapered fit, and can’t recommend enough.
Thumbs up girl ! And that Tee is super-amazing!
Love the post Meeha !!
Cheers,
SSD
Was in China mid April and met with Edward @ E. Italian. The man is professional as he is kind and was nice enough to make time to take care of a made to measure suit and two tailored shirts. Three days later the suit was finished and after one fitting it was perfect. The level of detail was astounding as was his customer service and pure attention to detail. Most certainly a recommendation for future works and definitely hope others take the time to visit and get something made by him.
Hongkong tailor is far too expensive with the current recession. I have used Hongkong tailors 10 years back and i really feel Bangkok tailors are far much better with quality or where pricing is concern . I usually use the service of Excelsior.Excelsior tailor has a variety of fabrics to offer. It has an array of materials suitable to tailor make formal or working suits for both men and women. All of my recommendation to this place has been satisfied over the past years.
Hi
Could you please give me a quote including vat and delivery for
50 x Yellow 500ml bottles with black lids

Many Thanks

I am looking for a meg style abercrombie and fitch t -shirt but can’t find it anywhere, can you help???
I have the same problem as Shelora: I ordered my t-shirt a month ago and have not received it. The website says it’s on backorder. Okay, fine, but I have emailed customer service a bunch of times to try and figure out when it will be ready and I have received no response: I’ve been emailing for 2 weeks now!
The products look amazing but they aren’t so amazing when you do not get the product you ordered.
which you can carefully match to bring out the colour of your eyes (because apparently that matters when you’re deciding what to wear). Made in India, your sari dress will be genuinely Eastern, and you can rest assured that when it was transforming from sari to stylish summer wear, everything was fair.
hey
the person at our school who was organising the leavers 09 hoodies now ‘cant be bothered’ and because of that about 15/18 people want a hoodie. i was wondering what is the lowest possible price you can give them to us, as many people dont want to be paying a lot for the hoodie
how much does the 100 ml fierce cost?
I love being a fan of Indigo….oh, and Birmingham!

@Robin – the world store uses worldpay a major credit card processor here in the UK and accepts all major credit cards.
Hmmmm…green is the new black. These shirts are cool if you want to make a statement but what if you just want eco-friendly fashion?

hey i love that t-shirt.. where could i find it??
they’re all available from http://www.turtlehead.ie
Red and spotty has never looked so good? No, I don’t think so, just demand on design.
I ordered two shirts from their company in May. One of the shirts they sent me was the wrong shirt and I have been emailing them since May to try and figure out what I need to do to send it back…their company SUCKS. I have received NO response back. The only contact information I can find is email. They obviously don’t want to give a phone number out. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!
These are tight. Tell me where you can get them and how much.
i would love these!!!!!
Richard is rude and arrogant.
Richard is nothing but an arrogant Prick. And this guy grew up in a council estate.How can he be so arrogant and rude to people of India. Hey Dumbo no one invited you to go India.
Luckily this guy had a camera sticking up his a*s 24/7 when in India, or he would have got his a*s kicked in India. Before you blame the people of India and China for their problem, just learn what Britain did from 1700′s to 1940′s to these 2 countries. Reason why Britain is well off today is because of how these two countries were systematically looted and destroyed by Britain.
After watching the show , I have nothing but respect for people of India. Having been to India many times, I have seen first hand how much this country has developed in last 15 years. And I am sure India will be much more prosperous and well off country, in coming 15 years.
Hey im trying to order dtuff off the english abercrombie website but it wont process past the stage were i have them in my basket. Has anyone bought stuff off the abercrombie.co.uk site

Hi Hannah,
One of the sales team will get in touch shortly!
Alex
AWESOME! I feel a bake off coming on!
Great work it is good to know that companies can play their part in giving a helping hand. Will be a good role model for other hoody companies
I’m afraid the same thing has happened to me…I’ve blown A$28 on a shirt that hasn’t arrived, and can’t get onto a real person via email. I am furious. I live in a small town in Western Australia where you either shop at Target or the old lady boutique on the high street, so when I found this store online I was really pleased. I ordered two t-shirts, and the one that has arrived is great, but these people either have very poor customer service skills or they’re just plain dishonest, I can’t track down a phone number for them, and calling within business hours is pretty tricky from Australia anyway. I wish I’d read this blog before ordering through their website. I’m thinking of pursuing the issue via Paypal – that’s the only thing I can think of to do.
They’re a new name to me (sorry if that shows my lack of knowledge on some aspects of fashion!) but I generally like the designs on their website and the pricing’s not unreasonable.
I like the retro style stuff especially.
i feel like such a dope for not researching this company before giving them my credit card information to charge. when you google them, their website comes up as a secure one, but i too bought a t-shirt that i haven’t received. i tracked my package via usps and after a week it said that my address “wasn’t a deliverable one” and so it got returned. but when i went to check my account on their website, it was the correct address! i’ve been emailing them night and day but of course no one has responded back, and after reading these similar reviews, i’m guessing i should stop holding my breath.
DON’T BUY ANYTHING FROM LOOPS AND PLUTO.
I love that “Salut” “Cubesville” and its beautiful design, i really very like it wholeheartedly, it really very good idea to design a very good T-Shirt, i very really thank ful to you for give a good idea.
it is really very good design, i really like it, and it is my openion if you change your “Cubesville” T-Shirt colouring scheme it looking very good. just use light colouring scheme please try it and desplay it i hope you will get a very good and posative responce, i am giving you a openion because presently i have a T-Shirts shope in Germany (Frankfort) and some people ask me about and mostly people like light colouring.
Once again i am really very thank full to you for giveing a informatiable information.
Dear Indigo Clothing
I am Head Girl of Gateways School and we would like to order 24 hoodies for our leavers next year.
My design for the hoodie is very specific, I want a red hoody, with the pupil name and school logo on the front, and on the back a heart with the 10 in and all our names around the 10, inside the heart, our name over the heart and below the heart ‘GATEWAYS GIRLS’
We would like the detail on the front to be stitched and the back to be printed.
Could you reply as to whether you would be able to do this design, and how much they would cost per hoody. Could you also tell us the cost if all detail was printed?
Kind Regards,
Katie Scott
The thing is If you don’t buy the clothes made by those Indian workers they go out off business and probably starve or die.
Yes, I don’t agree with the living conditions at all, but I don’t agree with boycotting shopping stores because of it.
Think about it, every time you buy a t shirt an Indian child gets fed and ok albeit not a lot but it’s better than nothing.
Am I right?
the baker boy hat looks great.
Wow i think all the hats are quite fashionable both man and women .. gr8 collections
The reasons these marques can sell goods at such a high prices is because they have multi-million pound advertising budgets that elevate the consumers perception of the products worth.
Does anyone know what the name of the vintage shop in Soho that Amrita went at the end to sell her clothes?
A&F store in the US is quite cheap! But tey couldn’t send me my stuff internationally; there are some locations that they cant send to! But my room mates suggested using a parcel forwarding co called Shipito. I had my a&f stuff sent to their warehouse and then shipito guys sent it to me. I found them extremely cheap plus the brighter side I had my a&f hoody waiting for me
yeah Polo shirts were so popular on golf courses, people started calling them golf shirts and tennis shirts. Feels Good and Looks Great!!!
Love the Burger King hat myself. But the Baker boy hat would suit me much better.
Nice blog. Check out my clothing line on my website!

We have some nice hip hop infant and toddler cloths
I adore this Jumper but cannot find it on the website!
Do you know if it has sold out already? If not, do you know how I could get hold of it? Thanks xx
Looks like it has sold out ;(

“Think about it, every time you buy a t shirt an Indian child gets fed and ok albeit not a lot but it’s better than nothing.
Am I right?”
NO YOU ARE WRONG !!

I’ve had the same experience with Loops & Pluto. I ordered two t-shirts in November and received one of them, but not the other. One was on backorder, but they currently have it for sale on their website with nothing about it being backordered now. They charged me for both and will not respond to my repeated emails. It’s been almost 3 months now. I would advise anyone not to order from this company. I’ll definitely be placing complaints wherever I can in order to spread the word.
Same story. I was also ripped off by this awful company. Their website seems so legit but all they do is take your money and never send any product. I have been writing on their facebook wall, their twitter, their blogs, anything I can get my hands on to spread the word about these people. I advise anyone who sees this to do the same. Its outrageous to let them get away with this.
I love Loops & Pluto! I’ve bought from them over 10 times within the past 2 years and have gotten my shirts within 5 days of ordering. I find the complaints/hate mail on this blog very unusual. I’m definitely a fan of Loops & Pluto and their customer service.
@Craig – do you work for Loops & Pluto? Your comment seems to buck the trend!
Wow, I am so glad that those snobs did not come from the states. Not that we don’t have our own variety of ignorant fashionistas that have never worked a day in their life. How embarrassing! God forbid this show continues to put children in danger by getting them fired from there jobs and putting them back on the streets. India will eventually fix the mess that the British Empire created for them without western production companies sending over their clueless teenagers to publicly disrespect the people of India and reinforce the stereotype that westerners are all like they are.
To the people of India. I apologize.
This is so cool! Can’t stop hovering over the words!
This is wicked! get it on the home page!
How is it when one of the girls had to bring the blouses to the bosses office which seemed to be in walking distance, it was immaculate as well as the bosses clothes . Why is it a man who is in that office can’t see how inhumane it is to his workers not fight for them to have a clean environment.I think they can have a middle class if they just give up a few dollars and be compassionate. They have only upper and lower class of people because they won’t share and expects other countries to feel sorry for them and help them out, which I have to say is what I would like to do , it hurt watching Blood Sweat and T shirts .
There is absolutly no reason for anyone to sleep at work especially on a filthy floor when in the same building is a spacious clean area for them to sleep on.
Me and my husband were very pleased with our tailoring from Bangkok at Tailor Pro. I was even more pleased with the customer service. As my husband and brother in law haggled away over various outfits, I started to feel hungry and faint as we’d been in there a VERY long time. Above and beyond the call of duty, Sam suddenly brought us wonton soup and delicious snacks she’d brought from outside. he was incredibly funny and helpful and I wouldn’t hesitate to shop with her again!
I simply love this video… these guys are really clever… where can I buy the tee from?

Hi Catherine,
Happy to know your achievement so far and best wishes for future endeavors. Being into Fashion industry for quite some time, I believe that there is some trend that never catches cold. I’m taking about designs related to goth and horror culture. In my opinion Punk rock fashion industry is more fruitful than others, i want to know what’s your say on this.
Thanks
Nice Photos.
Of course a positive comment bucks the trend. On review websites that have a positive article, negative comments are to be expected. On review websites that attack a positive poster with an ad hominem, positive comments are really unlikely to be found!
People like to moan about delivery charges but when its the wrong size or wrong colour they expect it picked up for free, well nothing in life is for free somebody has to pay…
Hi Cath,
UOW are looking for inspiration from our students. We would like to expand the range of clubs at the University so people can purchase new club hoodies and club tshirts, which are proving very popular. If you have some witty, humourous and down right ridiculous ideas contact us at UOW with your ideas. If we use them we will send you some free club stash in the club you have created. Miss Wet Tshirt, Pub Golf, Dodgeball, Dance off are all very popular at the minute.
This season is all over the denim shirt. At first I thought ‘Naaah’ but the denim shirt has a certain power. It can turn the ‘Naaah’ into a ‘Oh actually’ and then a positive ‘Mmmm defs’. With all its persuasive techniques, this variation on a theme is hipster springwear at its finest.Fashion Guide USA
helo!! catherine u have a pretty face and a lovely smile.. i like your dress it looks like fashionable..im so amaze for this site i found styles that fits to slim shady bodies,hehe do u have anew style for emo wears?nevermind i hope this will go so far..tnx
hi
can you tell me roughly how the sizes of the collage hoodies equate to womens dress sizes
eg is 8-10 small 12-14 medium etc or is the scale different
thanks
love helvetica!
http://whitetees.spreadshirt.de/de/circle-simplicity-helvetica-A10924334
I like the color.Are there new styles available yet?
do you ship to ireland
Yes – we do!
To my shame I have to admit that I hadn’t come across LTDTees before your post (I know, I bow my head in shame..) but I love the concept. There’s so many reproduced designs on the market that everyone ends up looking the same so anything that gives a bit of exclusivity without a huge price tag gets a big thumbs from me!
They are absolutely correct.People like givers,i.e.” it is better to give than to receive”
Gets you noticed,promoted and remembered for ages if not forever depending on the type,quality and usefulness of the gift.
I sponsored customers of mine with printed T shirts and PVC capes for a charity bike ride they did in aid of Help for Heroes and the Cancer Campaign.This bike ride took place during the May bank holiday weekend and they raised over £9000 with more to come in to date.
Is it possible to get samples in germany?
Richard, you say:
“The point I was making, which was obviously lost on many people amongst all the obscenities, as backed up by many a scholar throughout history is that in many ways the people I met contribute to their own downfall. If you still don’t believe this then I invite you to spend 6 weeks out there living and working alongside these people after which any criticism you want to point at me I will accept with open arms. ”
a) These scholars tend to be rich like yourself and have to justify their own privileges. Prime example is Ayn Rand. Problem here is that you aren’t a scholar and referencing these as if it justifies your own broken ideas is a complete miss.
b) Your arrogance that you reprise here is what people object to. In the very show you fail to work yourself up given the same premise as the office workers.
I’m glad that you in the end of episode two at least show some development, but on the issue of global poverty you shouldn’t point out “laziness” as even being close to the main reason.
Great selection in JJB.
where do i get one of these shirts?
I disagree. Tradeshows are important opportunities for business owners to exchange ideas, give away imprinted products, and learn more about their industries.
I saw it at the Harley Davidson Destination store in Tacoma, WA @ weeks ago
I know some good other good camouflage clothing. It’s really amazing how camouflage designs dominate fashion, like accessories, clothing and furniture.
I’m inspired about it its very nice and simple.. nice printing about this shirt…
thanks for sharing me this simple and inspired t-shirt.. god bless..

I see you know a lot about fabric, could you please tell me if http://memeshirts.us have quality products ? I really like some of their stuff but I don’t know about quality…
brilliant advise i agree that you don’t have to throw things away
anything that makes you laugh is good i think
I have to say, although it’s quite pricey the quality of the clothing is out of this world. We have been ordering off them for a couple of months now and everyone has been happy with the quality. It’s out performed many rival brands like dickies and regatta, which is saying a lot.
I have noticed in recent years there has been a lot of focus more towards “fashionable” workwear and outdoor clothing. It’s funny how we worry about our appearance even when we are up to our knee’s in wet cement or covered in hi-gloss paint!
Very creative. I like this post. I believe that some people can get so bored of looking down and seeing that same old shirt even in just a few hours of wearing it. This is definitely the answer.
The denim shirt looks pretty amazing. It could also be designed to create a formal and gorgeous attire. Visit Soft Surroundings Coupons.
Finally, some stylish workwear! At least now we can look the part when were out on site. I ordered some of the heavy duty jackets a few weeks back as the weather has been terrible and they are so warm and snug!! Well worth that little bit extra.
On the down side, everyone thinks you’ve got loads of cash to waste because your dirtying a ‘Helly Hansen’ Jacket with gloss! =)
This is comedy gold – great post Faisal!
It is good that cycling is being taken on more in London. Get with the green revolution and even for just the weekend ride your bike and give old mother earth a break.

Loops and Pluto SUCKS…they take your money and a fake “shipped” email that never shows up. They never respond to emails or phone calls….cute shirts if you just want to look at them online…big boo to loops and pluto
Hahaha brilliant. I love funny t shirts, this has really brought some cheer to my day! Have you considered sending whatthefont.com one? im sure they would love it!!
i love red nose dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I think, like and comfortable is the most important. Of course, some occasions, have to pay attention meter.
‘STAY ON YOUR FEET’ is everywhere at the moment.
Enough already. One comment and it is on t shirts, mugs, the backs of dogs, everywhere.
Good luck to them they’ve got a viral bug going and if they can make more money in the current financial situation then good lick to them. All the best “STAY ON YOUR FEET”
I am going to side with the opinion that Loops and Pluto blows! It’s all true, they take your money and don’t send the shirt. I am dedicating my time to add comments on any website or blog that says anything about this company. I call them everyday to leave hate voice mails as well. Find another website to purchase your shirts from. If you feel that this is a legitimate company, then you can refund my 25 bucks and you can have the shirt I ordered. I am thinking about coming up with my own Indie shirt that shows their logo in the toilet, with a note at the bottom that reads, ‘just takin a deuce.’
For even more festive funwear check out http://www.christmasjumpergrotto.com for a new range in Christmas jumpers. It’s all about fun, not fashion.
THANK YOU for the day-before- Mother’s Day delivery, although they were not “gifts” for M.D., I appeciate the thought!
I have so MANY of your shirts these are gifts!!!!
good price for the T-shirt,Are there new styles available ?
Very nice post great to read about wordpress hoodies.
Im very worried with the cut backs in eco-businesses we could really see a decline in new eco-companies over the next couple of years. Lots of solar pv companies are going to struggle now the government has reduced the price the national grid willl buy electricity. It means solar panels could taken twice as long to pay off.
Doesn’t matter if shipping and handling is $9.75, I still like the shirts and they are worth it.
This Cambridge hoodie is the one that my cousin want. Im going to give him this as a graduation present he will surely like it..
Promotional Product
this Cambridge hoodie is really great.. nice design and texture my cousin own one of this Cambridge hoodie..

We have had some great feedback about the new website and at the moment we are constantly tweaking things behind the scenes.
We have increased page load speed performance by using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and the W3TC plugin for WordPress.We are also trialing the use of HelloBar pop-up to inform customers about our small order (less than 20 t-shirts) e-commerce website, Indigo2go.com which features an easy-to-use t-shirt design tool.
Still weeding out the broken links around the site – about 100 to go – please bear with us!

[...] In September we also sadly said goodbye to Michael Wallace (Mikey) who has gone back to his home country of Ireland to carry on with his studies. It is an understatement to say he will be sorely missed and Eleni is still pining after her ‘wingman‘. I first met Michael in April this year (2006). He was in fact an estate agent that was showing me around potential new office space for Indigo. Mikey was the nicest esate agent I’d ever met and unlike most others also seemed not to have over greased, spikey hair and an ego larger than the M25. He had a rubbish set of properties to show me around but he did so with enthusiasm and without being pushy. When I got back to the office I told Jo I didn’t have much luck with the office space but may have found the perfect new Client Services Team member. She shot me one of those looks that normally means, ‘I think you are nuts but who am I to argue, it is your funeral’. That week I emailed Michael thanking him for showing me around and asked him if he would like to apply for the vacant position we were advertising on our jobs page. The rest is history, so they say, and on this occasion, I am glad Jo was proved wrong, as Mikey was fantastic at the job and equally as much fun in the bar with a pint in hand after work. [...]
[...] As the screen grab from our homepage above shows, we have some ground-breaking offers for Winter and the Stedman t-shirt is one of the key products we are keen to promote.

If you are interested in 500+ we can come up with far more competitive pricing and offer sub-£1 pricing for volume orders (1000’s). [...]
