One of my favorite things about working here at Spreadshirt and about t-shirts in general are the stories behind the shirts.  Most t-shirts come with a story - maybe it is from a favorite place or it is a favorite color.  Maybe the shirt reminds you of a favorite event or concert.  Some times it is a little weird but when I can I like to ask people about their t-shirts and find out more about why they choose that t-shirt.

Well thankfully, no akward conversations with our CEO Jana Eggers - although it would never be an akward conversation - she is super nice and I know she LOVES to talk about t-shirts! Jana has started a new series of videos on YouTube called What’s Jana Wearing - these are great little clips where she shares the story behind what t-shirt she is wearing.  Check out this video about the “I heart” design

Here are some of the other videos from the What’s Jana Wearing series:

• Vol. 1, Num. 1. - Jana at the Spreadshirt Boston Office
• Vol. 1, Num. 2 - Dewitt Jones
• Vol. 1, Num. 3 - La Fraise (you really should see the hoddie she is wearing!)
• Vol. 1, Num 5 - Partner shirts - check out some of these CNN Headline t-shirts
• Vol. 1, Num 6 - Jana Goes to MIT
  

If you want to see more of what Jana is saying about t-shirts, triathlons and sometimes bacon - follow @jeggers on twitter!  Don’t forget to follow @Spreadshirt on twitter too.

For this episode of Spreadshirt Stories, Juliane was kind enough to reveal the story behind her pink hoodie.

“I ordered the sweater to attract the man I have a crush on. For I will go see him wearing it. By the way, I could not wait to go shopping in downtown Bamberg, to flaunt my new sweater as soon as I got it. People sure were looking my way that day…”

Bikers seem to have a special relationship with t-Shirts. In this Spreadshirt story, Andy, a hotel manager tells us his story about how he traveled 2500 miles around 8 different countries of Europe. As you can see, his custom made shirt (which thankfully did get washed ) made the whole journey with him.

Henning (23) is product manager for the Direct to Customer business unit. That means he is optimizing our website, improving existing products and developing new products joining forces with all other departments (IT, Graphics, Content etc).

A self-made shirt is usually dying to tell its own story: Who am I? Why was I born? What does being laundered really feel like? To preserve this for posterity, we would like to hear *your personal shirt story*! Send it to us at: BLOGME at spreadshirt.net and we will publish your story! To kick off, we have a story from Tobias, from Marburg Germany.
