From time to time we feature somebody on our blog who’s doing interesting stuff with our blank tees, and this week it’s Joe from Crucial Times Clothing. He started his fashion business last year and hand screen-prints his designs on Fruit of the Loom heavy cotton T-shirts as he finds them good value for money and high quality.

Joe uses tumblr, facebook and word of mouth to promote his T-shirts, and sells through big cartel. We love his designs, let us know what you think!

He says he has new designs and ideas going on all the time and that soon he wants to offer a service where, for a small fee, people can send him a design and he’ll make it into a screen print and print it up for them.

You can find his images or buy T-shirts through the following links:

Im a brand new user or www.99designs.com. I discovered the site thanks to Tim Ferris, who used the site to post a contest for his new book cover.

Heres how the site works: you post a contest for a design job need a business card designed, a site, a book cover or like in my case an ad banner for your business? All you need to do is post an ad aka a contest and depending on the price youre willing to pay thats how many designers will submit their entries. You rate them everyday, make comments about the corrections, etc. You can even create a poll with the designs and ask your friends to help you.

Rating and choices do take a lot of time. My recommendation would be to try and spend time to draft a very specific draft of what is it that you have in mind.

Of all the weirdoes in the world, the one that fascinates me the most is the secretarial types. These are the ones that refuse to budge and change their styles even after serving their bosses for decades in the same company. Right with their ageing boss and their ageing skin, their sense of style gets pretty outdated too. If you were looking for something that would signify secretarial style, Yves Saint Laurents A Line Leather Skirts gotta be the one that u must buy.

It comes with hundred percent leather exteriors and hundred percent silk interiors. Perhaps it is to symbolize the leathery and rough disposition that a secretary is supposed to possess and also the silky and seductive interiors a secretary must possess in order to please the boss in every possible manner. The skirt is pretty long and boring too, just like it is meant to be. Somehow, I find this skirt pretty annoying in terms of style, inspiration and design.

According to a Mintel report into American men’s clothing choices, many men want to be more fashionable than they are – in fact a quarter of them would love to be able to be fashion conscious. A senior retail and apparel analyst at Mintel claims that 85% of men who say they shop just for comfortably clothing would be willing to step out of their ‘clothing comfort zone’ if they knew what looked good on them.

So how can a man get to be fashion conscious and clothing comfortable?

One way is to use the support of social media. Many more men are learning to try on clothing and then send a photo to their friends and family members for an instant vote on whether to buy the garment or not.

Another way is to create outfits online, using new platforms like pinterest, to pull together clothing boards for special events or to plan holiday packing lists, and then get others to have input to the suggested choices. This is
