the trouble with tshirts
I buy a lot of tshirts. I've mentioned this before. However, the reality hit me in the supermarket this weekend, when I saw someone else wearing the Take A Hike tshirt. Matt also bought it, meaning there are now three people potentially wearing the same tshirt. In Helsinki.
This will not do.
Threadless will have to be relegated for a bit, whilst new tshirt shops are explored and conquered. Even if they do now have an rss feed, and someone knocked up a submissions feed as well.
So, A little bit more of my business will be going to La Fraise, a French copycat of threadless, also with rss (the quality isn't quite as high, but then again threadless have had a few too many Shoreditch or Urban Outfitters style tees recently), Punk MC, whos tshirts I'm really impressed with, and Stacks.
(but, oh, Threadless' tshirt a month club is so tempting...)

... this makes my thirst for t-shirts feel so modest.

Why don't you make your own T-shirts? Using conventional techniques (yourself or in a shop) or you could learn to cross-stitch etc. and do that. You can steal or adapt designs from the websites you link to. Do a "take a hike" t-shirt with a fish or a worm (easier).
Or just buy the most popular T-shirts so then it isn't surprising or disappointing when someone else is wearing the same one?

The models at Punk MC are basing their look entirely on the staff of 'Nathan Barley's 'Sugar Ape' magazine aren't they?

Well, yes, the pictures are all a bit Hoxton, but the tshirts are good.
