We’ve listed a bunch of overstock items on Etsy. You can peruse them here. Items are 40% off or more. Help us clean up our studio and take our overstock items off our hands?

After spending the last few weeks inundated with unhappy emails from international customers, I’ve changed our shipping methods so we have a little more assurance that our international packages will actually arrive at their destinations. Until now we’d been using first class mail, which is inexpensive but offers no tracking. Some of our orders were arriving more than a month after we shipped them. A few never arrived at all

So starting today, we are shipping all orders to Canada via FedEx Ground. All orders going outside the US and Canada will be shipped via International Priority (which also offers package tracking). These two shipping services were the least expensive options we were able to find that came with package tracking. I realize they’re not as cheap as our old prices but it also means you’ll actually get your order in a much more timely fashion.

If you’re outside the US and looking to save on shipping, we are offering FREE shipping to ALL destinations on orders over $149.00. No coupon required, no expiration date on this offer. So share our website with your friends and see if they want to go in on an order with you. Or order a tee for every day of the week; summer will be here before you know it.

When I started printing t-shirts there was one major quandary: to American Apparel or not to American Apparel. About half the t-shirt buying public loves this brand and the other half hates it. Both sides have totally legit arguments for their feelings and I knew no matter what brand of blank tee I picked someone would complain. So starting today, I’m offering both!

I am starting this off with just a men’s collection, which I’m calling the slim fit line. The difference between a traditional fit mens tee and an American Apparel mens tee are pretty substantial. Our ladies tees, which are made by Bella, are pretty similar in terms of fabric feel and fit to American Apparel and a million other blank ladies tees.

So if you’re a super skinny guy looking for a slim fit tee, have at it. If you’re an avid hater of Dov Charney you can still order our traditional mens tees.

I am also shopping around for some new good stuff to add to our line so stay tuned for upcoming product launches in the next couple of months. If there’s something you wish we’d start printing on, let me know.

Just a quick note to let you all know we picked a favorite comment for December:

“*GrumbleGrumbleGrumble* At this rate, I’d rather be a handbag! ”
-Damaris wrote in response to Title This Tuesday: This is Why Alligators Hate Kids

Keep your entertaining comments coming, we’ll pick a new winner at the end of January.

Also, I designed a new tee for the Valentine fans:

It’s no secret that Baptist evangelical Freddie Gage’s All My Friends Are Dead sermon LP has spawned a lot of homages and parodies over the years. I had initially thought about doing this design “straight”, using an actual historical figure. But the wife made a suggestion last night (after I had already completed the design, as is often the case) that maybe a zombie might be a better subject. After my customary tantrum at having to scrap hours of work, I got started on the revision. It turns out she was right (as is often the case.)

We’ve finally created a Flickr account so now all our stylish fans can share photos of themselves in Ex-Boyfriend gear. If you’ve already got pics of yourself wearing Ex-Boyfriend on your Flickr account, you can just add your photos to our pool.

If you don’t have a Flickr account account but still wanna get your pictures posted please use this handy form and we’ll post your pictures for you.

We added this fun new feature last night to our website: (click to play with the map)

It’s an interactive map that reflects all the places our fans live. Each time we ship items to a new destination it gets a pin on our map. Check and see if your town’s there yet? If not, you can get it added when you place your first order.

Big ups to all our friends in Chicago, Toronto, London, LA, Washington and NYC. You guys live in the Ex-Boyfriendliest cities in the world. (AKA the cities where we’ve sent the most stuff )

For several months now we’ve been giving away free tees to our Facebook fans. Unfortunately, this now has to change because Facebook has pretty much banned contests and sweepstakes on Facebook.  Not to worry, I still want to give y’all opportunities to get free swag, so the party is moving over here to my blog. Why the blog?

For starters, no jerkfaces can tell us what is and isn’t allowed on the blog.

Second, more chances to win stuff!

Moving forward, to be eligible to win a free tee each month, all you have to do is comment on my blog posts. Comment as often as you like and I’ll pick a favorite comment each month and send off a free tee. You guys can also nominate a “best comment of the month” by clicking the thumbs up icon next to comments you like. It’ll be like Rocky Horror Picture Show up in here, minus the hairy men in lingerie of course, unless you like that kind of thing, in which case I aim to please.

Also, in an effort to give you guys some fodder I’ve worked out a rough new format for blog postin’.  My plan as of now is:

Mystery Mondays – a free form day of rants, photos, videos, whatevs’
Title This Tuesdays – I find the photo, you guys provide the caption
WTF Wednesdays – News of the weird, bizarre products, strange art, things that make you go WTF?
Thirsty Thursdays – An ode to my BFF booze
Fuzzy Fridays – Pics and videos of cute critters

Can you tell I love alliteration? Yup, I’m a dork.

Since it’s Tuesday, my first “Title This” post is coming right up in a few.

We know tees aren’t the perfect thing to wear all year round. We can’t all live in Miami and So Cal. To make sure our fans in cooler climates stay warm all winter, we’ve introduced a line of fleece hooded sweatshirts. They’re available in a variety of colors for both men and women. Order one today and snuggle up!

If you’re a regular around here, you know we give a free tee away every month to one of our Facebook fans. Of course this is a giveaway of chance, but now we present a contest of skill:

The gist is you suggest ideas for t-shirt designs on our Facebook wall. If we use your design idea, you get two free tees! You can read the fine print here.
