Advantages: Keeps you warm, dries quickly .
Disadvantages: Uncomforable seams, can be too warm .

...The Tactical Series undergear from 5.11 is designed to be worn under body armour, to keep the wearer cool, dry and comfortable. I purchased a top to use as a base layer when wearing a rucksack. Most of the 5.11 Tactical Series undergear comes in what they call 'muscle mapping' style i.e. tight. As I don't really want a t-shirt 'mapping' my beer-belly, I went for the crew loose fit version, to leave a bit more to the imagination. # 5.11 claim these will keep you cool when it is hot and warm when it is cold - I have found this t-shirt to keep me warm when it is cold and roasting hot when it is warm! In warm or hot weather, I just have to take it off as it is too hot, but in cool/cold weather, it is a brilliant warm base layer. I often just use this top with another loose normal t-shirt over it instead of taking a coat. # 5.11 claim... Read review

Advantages: Very funny in places
Disadvantages: The title takes ages to say

...far away from the reality they’re trying to describe, this very same is the whole point here. Never having worked in advertising or in film, I have no idea if any of the situations mentioned throughout the story could actually happen for real. I suspect that any of them could, but that it would have to be a strange chain of events that caused all of them to happen in as short a space of time as the period covered my this novel. And this is what makes “The Book, the Film, the T-Shirt” as funny and as much fun as it is. The story follows the characters as they bound from disaster to disaster and although you end up reading with a sense of amazement and disbelief, this is frequently interrupted by the sound of laughter. More often than not, your own. The style the novel is written in helps this along. Beaumont has worked away from... Read review

Advantages: Something totally new
Disadvantages: Not the most attractive

...I always look forward to new Man Utd t-shirts coming out and am excited about seeing their new look. This year's t-shirt has been given the old look to represent Man Utd's first League championship 50 years ago. The AIG sponsor is quite clearly not the most attractive, and has a dull look to it. The size of it doesn't help either, although it's not the appearance of the sponsor that matters to the authorities, it's the £14.1million United receive a year from it, which replaces the £9million from Vodafone, and makes United the most paid club in world football from a shirt sponsor. Juventus were number 1, until their relegation to Serie B. I like the gold that has been added to it, because red and gold go together really well. The crest over the heart has a real retro look about it with the old shape around it filled with white. It... Read review

Advantages: Last years kit but only £10!
Disadvantages: Not the newest kit!

...this was a bargain. I have just looked online for this kit from two seasons ago. It is around £5 to £10 also. Due to this being an old kit there are going to be less of them. Also there will be less of certain sizes, probably medium and large. The thing is on Ebay you must look for the word "OFFICIAL". There will no doubt be plenty of replica kits on there. This doesnt't just apply to City shirts either. You will probably find there are more available from clubs like united and chelsea. Everyone knows how much football clubs mark up the prices for retail but buying the shirt for £10 is a fairier representaion of how much this kit cost to make and the person you buy it off may still make some profit on the shirt at this price. Printing Don't be tempted once you have bought a shirt to take it to "The city shop" or something similar. Whilst... Read review

Advantages: Loads to see and do in Newcastle and surrounding region
Disadvantages: Very busy, especially at weekends

...chicken at cheap prices. In addition there are the usual chain restaurants, Pizza Hut, Frankie and Bennies etc. - Slug and Lettuce. Bar that does good food as well. Nights out Newcastle is justifiably famous for its nightlife (and yes it is true that we all wear t-shirts in sub-zero temperatures). The drinking areas are all easily reached on foot and are split into the following rough zones. - The Bigg Market. This is the place where the younger end of Newcastle's drinking spectrum go. All of the bars, without fail are pumping out music at 180 decibels and the average age down there is about 16. I used to go when I was younger, but now I avoid it like the plague. There is a high chance of getting into a fight on a Saturday night down there as well. - Quayside. The Quayside is the "posh" area of the city... Read review

Advantages: Fun t-shirts at reasonable prices sent to your door
Disadvantages: Can't try them on before ordering

...Recently I popped round to my mum and dads house for a visit (as you do). Chatting away to my mum, I went to the 'post table' to see if any of my post had been sent there by accident. I had a lovely pile of bills, goody! But on my dads pile was a mini catalogue with characters across the front and black and white squares. Now what was a 50 year old man doing with a book with Miffy on the front I hear you ask?! Well, I have no idea; he was on the mailing list I guess...in the secret world of companies getting hold of your personal details. With permission from my dad I opened it up for a look. The catalogue was sent from 'Rosie Nieper t-shirts’, which was written across the front in pink. I must say, the front cover is very fun looking and inviting. It has something for kids and adults alike on it. Anyway, I opened it up... Read review

Advantages: Good quality t-shirts that very few other people will own.
Disadvantages: Potential import duties, threadless newsletter avoidance.

...Threadless.com is a clothing website with an interesting difference. Instead of offering you plenty of designs you can find elsewhere from big name designers, Threadless offers designs by people like you. Yes, that's right, you too can design your own t-shirt! Not content with the kudos that your very own designs could soon be sold across the world? Well, Threadless will also reward you for your designs. If selected, Threadless will give you US$2000 as reward for your hard work and design skills. This is split between US$1500 in cash, a US$300 Threadless voucher and membership of their club, worth US$200. Of course, it's not as easy as that, but it's the general principle. If you're a bit of a dab hand with Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Flash, you can download the t-shirt templates and design away. The design you submit is the design... Read review

Advantages: could make you look supercool
Disadvantages: could make you look like a tosser

...Ever since Madonna walked on stage wearing her Kylie T-shirt, shop windows have forever been staind with cheap slogan t-shirts. As a new cringe worthy top appears on the shelves another appears in our wardrobes. Why are we so keen on potraying attitude in 1 grammatically challenged sentence? The clothes we wear are becoming more important than the thoughts and beliefs we occupy. I'm in no way bad mouthing fashion, because it is such a huge part of our culture and how we percieve, judge and even idolise people. About a year ago everytime I walked down the street I couldn't help but be confronted by a "Don't Judge A Girl By Her T-Shirt" top. And I thought to myself, well you must want me to judge you because you're drawing attention to my judgement. Maybe I'm very strange and everyone else just walks past people on the street...

Advantages: Very affordable, free shipping, quick delivery, good range
Disadvantages: doesn't sell non-band t-shirts

...I love wearing band t-shirts and have always found that online stores selling them have tended to be expensive and very slow in delivering the stuff i've ordered. I've never understand why a website charges over £14 for the same shirt I can buy on the high street for £12. Because of this I was very pleased to discover a new online store called Loudclothing.com which specializes in official music t-shirts at affordable prices; all their normal t-shirts cost only £11.95 including free UK shipping. I decided to buy a Metallica t-shirt from them as it was much cheaper than at other sites i'd tried in the past. I found it was very easy to use the site as they offered both a search feature as well as a drop-down list of every band they sell t-shirts by. They had a great range of official Metallica t-shirts and I quickly picked the tee I... Read review
