A Word From Our Subscribers


Peter,

Thanks for the email. I'm not sure why the credit issue has happened, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for providing me with a great service for the past 1.5 - 2 years (not sure how long its been!). T-post has always sent me really cool shirts that have always been a topic of conversation when i've worn them, which have then enabled me to discuss the import topics depicted in the shirts. You have a really great and exciting product.

Having said that, I would like to cancel my subscription - and my reasons are 2-fold. I will share them with you in case you are interested in the feedback.

The first reason is simply that I can't really afford it anymore, due to the exchange rates and foreign transaction fees the t-shirts are costing me more than double what I can buy one for locally - and for a while that was OK, but times are a bit tough for me personally so I have to pull back on my spending a bit, and this seems like a natural place to start.

Secondly, I have to admit that I have been a bit disappointed with a few of the recent designs (the green shirt, and the clown) - with emphasis on the most recent - the noose. I was actually offended by it, I feel that in this country it has very real racial connotations and I would never feel good wearing it in public. Regardless of the artists intention it just wasn't tasteful in my eyes.

That's all, and I understand everyone has personal tastes and I'm sure there is someone that complains about every shirt - and I don't want to complain, its just that combined with my financial situation its not gonna work out for me for now - so please cancel my subscription.

As for ideas for the future - I always thought that it might be cool if each designer came up with 2 or 3 ideas and than the subscribers got to either vote for the one they liked - with the winner being printed - or just select 1 from the possibly choices. That way a designer can still be given his or her inspiration and then people that wear the shirts can still have some say in what they receive - just an idea!

Good luck!

Please let me know if there is anything else I have to do to cancel my subscription.

Thanks for the good t's

T-post in The Wall Street Journal!


I have finally found the reason I need to start dressing up like Charlie Cheen in Wall Street. Read the whole article online or in the paper version of The Wall Street Journal.

Sweden's Socialistic Nightmare

Where the Wild Things Are


With fear and delight I've been following the progress of one of the most interesting projects since The Lord of the Rings. My all time favorite children's book Where the Wild Things Are is going to be a motion picture, directed by non other than Spike Jonze.

On paper this looks f**king awesome! But since the stakes is to possibly ruin the best children's book ever written. The stakes might be too high.

So I'll put the call
to Spike on hold for a while, on the matter of doing an issue for T-post, until he's proved that he can do it justice. Meanwhile why not go to the source, and give Maurice Sandak a call..

Finally!


We've had some initial problems with American Apparel not delivering the T-shirts on time. But now everything is back on track and all issues are on its way to you as we speak. So you can start checking your mailbox by the end of this week.

Sorry about the delay. But I think it'll be worth the wait. ;-)
