Giving the Shirt a Chance!

Make sure you keep track of our T-post TV. This is merely the beginning..

Issue 46 - Designed by Lovisa Burfitt

If there ever was a perfect t-post designer, it would be Lovisa Burfitt. For over a decade, she’s been doing the kind of ”limited edition illustrated t-shirts” so common in fashion today. Lovisa started her career in Stockholm over ten years ago, but in 2002 she relocated to Paris where she’s now running her own fashion label as well as working as an illustrator for a number of prestigious clients. Her illustration style in general and graphic t-shirts in particular have inspired a whole generation of up-and-coming illustrators and designers (as well as a few copycats along the way…).

Concerning the latest issue

Hi!

Just to clarify the print on the latest issue. The copy is mirrored and printed on the inside of the shirt to create a vintage look from the outside. And to pick up the vintage feeling of cassette tapes. So no, your not suppose to wear it inside out. We're sorry if it was a bit confusing since the issue is delivered inside out.

The Chad!

Just wanted to tell you guys that we now got a new member of the T-post family. And his name is Chad Rea. I've been searching for years to find the right person to help introduce T-post to the U.S. market. And when I found him, it was in the most obvious of places. Amongst our subscribers. Chad has the perfect background and experience to help bring T-post to the next level.

Welcome Chad!

Issue 46 in the Making

We're proud to announce that the next issue is going to be designed by one of the most talented and interesting people in fashion today. So stay tuned for more updates..

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..

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

It's a Swedish Thing!

Volvo just released there Magazine LIV. It's distributed to all Volvo owners in the world (1,5 million in 75 countries).

I might just have to get a Volvo now..

Macau!?

I just found a new place on the map that I never knew existed. It's a place called Macau! It lies on the western side of the Pearl River Delta. If that tells anybody anything? It's one of the richest places om earth and they have a population of about a half a million people. And we have one of them in our T-post family. That's so cool! I'm going, there's all it is to it!

Tending to the Next Generation

I've been at home for two days now tending to my two year old daughter Sigrid that's been sick. Because of that I've been running behind on answering e-mails. I want to apologies for that. But hopefully everything will be back on track by tomorrow. She's feeling much better.
