There is a post, “Having an online store - my way!,” on the website AskMetaFilter about t-shirt shops that offer bamboo, hemp, and organic cotton. I tried to leave a reply on AskMetFilter but, you have to be a member for a week. So I thought I would post a reply here on our blog. Spreadshirt offers both bamboo and organic cotton items. You can see all of the bamboo and organic cotton items here.
The bamboo shirts feel amazing - almost like silk. You can usually find a couple of people at Spreadshirt wearing the long sleeve hooded bamboo shirt.

We have pulled together a collection of some of the Valentine’s day designs here - there are some really great ones for Valentine’s day lovers and haters. I thought this one was pretty funny…

Will you order a Valentine’s Day or Anti-Valentine’s day gift for your special someone?

We have a few of them, so what is the difference?
Here is a nice picture that shows the Asphalt and Slate Men’s Jersey T-shirts side-by-side. I know the Slate t-shirt is a little wrinkled but at least you can see the color differences.

In case you didn’t know, one of the many t-shirt shops on the web that is powered by Spreadshirt is ChuckNorrisFacts.com. Yes, all of those awesome t-shirts with great facts about Chuck Norris are made right here at Spreadshirt. We have been working with Mr. Norris and we have just added some new designs to the shop.

Jesse, the genius behind all things design at Spreadshirt, has created some new designs just in time for Valentine’s Day. These designs are available in the Spreadshirt Marketplace. If you have a great design for your valentine please submit it to the marketplace. Just a reminder that you set the commission on your designs in the marketplace - you can earn extra money each time someone uses your design.

I think this design with the elephants looks great on the long sleeve thermal t-shirt. Since it is finally freezing cold outside (It was 72 degrees last Wednesday here in Pittsburgh, everyone needs some warm snuggly clothes to wear.

Rick from MacMerch (who does have a Spreadshirt shop) has a video and a detailed blog post up on MacMerch’s video blog - Online Shirt Showdown - comparing Spreadshirt, CafePress and Zazzle.
Here is the video segment.

Check out the blog post here for some really interesting close up photos of the same shirt from all 3 vendors.

Rick has a really great Spreadshirt shop - I am a big fan of the MacMerch t-shirts. You can check out his shop here.

Toterly (The blog about Tote bags) has a post about this bag from ebags that is made out of recycled sailcloth.

The sailcloth bag is $79.00. I love love love the idea of putting the number on the angle - simple, yet chic. Spreadshirt does an amazing job with text, and numbers certainly are a type of text. So I created the Spreadshirt version of this bag. I know it isn’t made of sail cloth, but it is made of natural cotton. Plus, at Spreadshirt I can choose the number and the color for less than $12.00.

UPDATE: I just wanted to clarify this post a bit - I just want to be clear that I am not suggesting you use Spreadshirt to knock-off other designers. Rather, use other designs as inspirations for your own. I am changing my bag a little bit with a different number and color. My bag has the number 28, because that is how oldI have a friend who will be turning 28 in a few days and I think these numbers bags could make really great birthday gifts. I choose silver flex on black. I love the black tote and I love the silver flex on black.

I have a friend who travel to Austin frequently for work and we were talking about the SXSW conference this weekend. So conferences have been on my mind. Then I got the Squidoo lens of the day email about the Macworld Expo which starts tomorrow in SanFrancisco (I really don’t get Squidoo that much - it is kind of like a preblog sort of platform - but I do find their lens of the day emails kind of interesting).

One of my favorite blog posts from last year is the round up of geek t-shirts from last years SXSW. So I was curious to see what kind of t-shirts are around for Macworld. Right on the front page of the Macworld Expo site are some t-shirts for purchase. I was kind of surprised to see this one…

The SXSW geek t-shirts are awesome (none are tie-dyed) so I had high hopes for the official Macworld gear. Here is my question is tie-dye geek? Does anyone wear tie-dye anymore?

Today was my first day of my bowling league (Is bowling geeky?) I had to use the rainbow colored ball, that looks like it was tie-dyed, because I am not strong enough to roll the heavier balls. I made a few jokes about wearing a Hypercolor t-shirts to bowling next week so I could match my rainbow ball. Do they even make Hypercolor shirts anymore?

I would think Hypercolor is a little more geek than tie-dye but honestly I don’t think I would wear either of them to a conference. Would you buy a tie-dye Macworld expo shirt? What are the coolest Mac t-shirts you have seen? Take a look at the Flickr group for Apple t-shirts or the group for Geek t-shirts for some ideas.

Yes, friends, it is that time of year again. Start thinking pink. Valentine’s day will be here before you know it. I just wanted to give an early early reminder of the Valentine’s day shipping dates.
