*insert coin* EAT.

Hi there everybody.

It’s Monday morning and back to the “realTshirt of the Day.
We have just put out an absolutely hilarious new design by
David Staffell , that we simply call Pieman.

When you ask people what the first video game they ever played was, chances are a large majority of them will say Pacman. You know the little yellow round guy who has to run through a maze eating up a whole bunch of dots before he is caught by a number of multicoloured ghosts. Ring any bells? Well I sure hope so…it’s like a video game MEGA classic.

Our tshirt Pieman, is a joking stab at the old retro title and is done so in a very innovative way.
Yes, it’s a pie in the shape of Pacman, who would have thought. Instead of rushing around chowing dots, this hungry point seeking pie homes in on cherries…not a bad choice, I’m sure those pixels don’t taste quite as yummy as sticky sweet cherries…oh yeah.

Now I’m wondering if this design can be applied to any sort of person or vice. Everybody has their weaknesses. Some people gamble away all their money, or drink it all away on cheap rum…theres also those who eat for comfort.
I reckon eating to fill some mental gap has got to be one of the scariest things out there. When you look at the amount of little kids in the world today who are obese you really start to worry. I feel sorry for the people that have a genuine medical problem and they gain weight at pace, but for the rest, stop eating and get on a frigging treadmill. Becoming uncomfortably fat will lead to a poorer quality of life, as well as a shorter life and super low self esteem. So ditch the Danish and take up the treadmill.

Luckily for Pieman he’s already fully transformed into a delectable treat, so a few extra calories certainly won’t hurt. Just be careful you don’t mistake him for a normal pie at dinner time, the last guy to try and take a slice out of him lost his hand in an explosion of red mist and cherry pits. BEWARE.

This is one fun design that will have the retro gamers freaking. Very nice.

Ace of Spades Buckle

Hey there everybody.

So it’s been a week of belt buckles in the Tshirt of the Day zone. I’m sure you are all going we wanna T.
Don’t worry though, from Monday I will have a more funky shirts to show you.
As for today, it’s time for 1 more, very shiny, uber cool belt buckle.
Let’s look at the Ace of Spades Buckle.

In the past we have hooked you up with the coolest card gaming buckles and today is no different.
This buckle has already caused a stir amongst the Texas Holdem crowd.
Like many of my friends who pay their lights and water by winning online tournaments, there are plenty of people out there who love our card set buckles.

Many “shirts of the Day” ago, I wrote a blog about a locally produced Ace shirt from Fiftees and mentioned a few things about the Ace of Spades in general.
The Ace of Spades is the maverick of cards, the lord of cards…I’ve asked so many people what their favourite card is and it always ends up being the Ace of Spades.
Thats one popular card, I’m not sure what it is that draws people to it but I’m also under its spell…the Ace of Clubs, Diamonds or hearts just doesn’t seem to grab me.
I’m definitely not a diamonds dude, that for rich self centred money ho’s, clubs are a bit on the savage side and the heart….well as Sting once said…”that’s not the shape of my heart”.

All in all. It’s a slick steel buckle with fantastic intricate lines, instant classic and a heck of a charismatic one at that.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend cowboys….and of course cowgirls.
Heeeee Haw pardner’

Pirate Skull Buckle

New stock in Cape TownNew stock in DurbanTshirt of the Day

Yeeearrrg me Maties.

Welcome back to the super duperBelt of the Day” and once again its skulls skulls skulls :D
Yeah these days the whole skull craze is back with a vengeance, although I guess there’s always some group who thinks that it’s cool, usually the metal heads but also the punks and emo’s at the moment.

Today’s buckle is a wicked crossed sword pirate skull design which looks pretty damn scary….in a good way scary of course.
There’s been a huge revival in the whole pirate thing in the past few days, what with the enormous success of Pirates of the Caribbean and the marketing machine going mental on the band wagon, I’ve seen everything from pirate underwear to kiddies pirate toothpaste….sheesh insane.

The pirate skull thing has been around for ages and I have no doubt that it will continue perpetually.
All little boys love playing pirate and acting like savages….it’s in our blood.
I know I used to love making pirate ships out of piles of body boards and seeing how long I could survive being bombed by my friends.
The skull phase is one we must all go through.

So, maybe it’s time to put on your old plastic eye patch, lose all depth perception and swing wildly over a busy street screamingaaaaarrrrgghhhh give me my rum and pay increase”.
