Anyone else find it really hard to get a good T-shirt that isn't just a band T-shirt?
I want something different, I want something with GOOD art on it---
Not half-assed big company art that you see every day. Psychedelic art preferably, but nothing with drugs on it.
I mean yeah, every now and then some big brand comes out with something good but it always gets boring.
Oh, and I like polos/striped shit but not so much that I'd base my entire style around them.
I just don't want T-shirts that are just blank or all band shirts. Everything else (pants jackets etc.) I've got covered.
Any recommendations? No nigger shit. I don't care if it's a big brand, just as long as it isn't something like volcom or famous. Just as long as it isn't plastered with those logos that you encounter every day. Those brands you see every day are just boring and don't reflect who I am at all.

^^^ thank you,
It looks like there may be a few I'd like
e: bummer
^^^^ And yeah I know there are, but It's fucking hard finding ones that look good and aren't bandshirts. I'm picky, at least this thread will help me find some more options.

Try going to decent thrift stores and getting vintage ones.

I don't really care for T-shirts, I find them too constricting around the neck. They feel claustrophobic to me.
I nearly always wear button-up shirts with a few buttons undone.
It's different, at least, which seems to be what you're looking for.

Why not just wear a solid color t-shirt?

I'd be fine with it, but I' prefer having something with a good design.
Plus getting compliments from girls kicks ass.
Thrift stores ftw.
Also, if you have older male relatives i.e dad, uncle, etc
root through their closets and dressers. My dad grew up in the late seventies/early eighties and had a ton of old tees and hoodies that are awesome.

My brother I guess you could say wears nigger clothes. Though he got my into Ecko. They have some sick shirts in there that you don't see everyone wearing. He has a line out now that's called Cut & Sew (http://www.shopecko.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3033354&cp=2846009), they're nice fitting(not baggy and down to your knees) with a lot of interesting designs. Not to mention Ecko made a sick Star Wars (http://www.shopecko.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3054996&cp=2846009) line.

I say google Buffalo Exchange, Its really a kick ass thrift store. I found a fucking awesome shirt that said "I'll mess with texas", it was from express for like 5 dollars and I found a barney shirt for 3 bucks, its from fucking 92' lol. Also!!! http://www.etsy.com/category_sub_sub.php?tags=clothing.men.tshirt Im kinda assuming your a guy, this site has all hand made things so I doubt anyone else will have this stuff.

Why the fuck would you wear clothes made for kids? Are they not obscenely tight? Or are you some scrawny midget bastard?

Because cool t-shirts usually don't come in women's sizes, and even a men's extra-small usually hangs off me. So, making allowances for boob space, I can usually comfortably wear a boy's large or medium.

LRG (Lifted Research Group) make some awesome t-shirts. Quite expensive but they're pretty damn good.

Na man, pacsun is the epitome of gay labels.
They have some good longsleeved and button ups; and good jeans though.
Skate places are okay, but there's not enough variety. Overpriced as well, in my area at least.

You're right Pacsun is the wrong place to go. I'd try checking outlet stores and places like Marshall's(dunno if you have those where you're from) they sell "last season" clothing for cheap. I could care less what season my clothes are.

That's a Diesel shirt. Diesel is extremely expensive regardless of the store. The MSRP for their jeans averages about $250.

Design your own shirts. Find an image you like, photoshop it, etc, upload, order.
They also have countless designs created by other people, custom shit you probably wouldn't find anywhere else. FWIW.

It's Diesel, prick. Designer clothing.
I don't get it, why not band tshirts?

Girls have been wearing little boys stuff since forever.
I'm not really of any help in this thread since most of my shirts are from majestic. http://tinyurl.com/5c2c9e
