My friend Ben and I made a test run of TokyoMango t-shirts on Saturday. They're really nice, do you want one? If so, you can buy one here. Below are the details:
- All shirts are 100% cotton.
- Each t-shirt will be hand-silk screened by me and Ben on his Yudu machine. The shirt logo was custom-designed by Ben. Mango design courtesy of my web designer James.
- The Women's tees come in a t-shirt style (pistacio and white) and a spaghetti strap ribbed tank (yellow).
- The Men's tees come in orange and white. In the pic above, Ben is actually accidentally wearing a girl's tee, but you get the idea... the sleeves will be more manly on the one you get.
- You can choose a custom colored tee for $25. Just shoot me an email with your preference after you place the order.
- The sizes tend to run a little big (except for the tanktops). They might shrink in the wash.
- Some of you will receive a free surprise Japanese toy or gadget with your t-shirt! I'm just gonna randomly stick them into bags, so keep an eye out.
- We're taking orders over the next two weeks only, at least for this first printing. They'll ship at the end of those two weeks, when Ben & I will silkscreen them by hand.
- Last day to order is Monday, October 5th.
UPDATE: T-shirts are no longer for sale. Maybe we'll do another round sometime!

very nice! I might have to get one.
where'd you get them printed?

Excellent stuff! Any chance you could put up chest sizes (at least for the guys t-shirts)?

Lovely... and the t-shirts look nice too. I just worry about the G in "Mango" looking a lot like a C.

Hi Lisa.
You will ship worldwide? This price cover the shipping?
Thanks.

Yes, ships worldwide for $10 more, I think it is.

Hi,
I'm interested in buying one, but I wondered how does the silk screen hold up when washed?

It should be fine in the wash!

Wonderful! Do you have a photo of Men's orange?

I don't have a photo of the orange, but it's a bright orange, one of my favorite colors!

you know, if you were to do this through a shop you'd save a ton of money on garment costs and could pass that savings along to your readers, and still make some cash for yourself! :) you could take orders for two weeks, place an order with a shop, have the shirts printed and ship them out. easy peasy! plus, quality will be consistent and you won't have to worry about having not set the inks, etc (a common problem with home-brew printing).
