Ohio-based t-shirt maker Homage has really been gaining ground as of late. Either that or we’re really late to the party. I was turned to Homage about two months ago, and since then, I’ve picked up a few tees from their online shop. The goods are solid, folks, as the brand’s not only dishing out creative designs, but the tees themselves are made (in the US) of a high quality cotton/poly/rayon blend that’s soft to the touch extremely wearable even during this sweltering heat. 

Per Andersson and Johan Lundell, founders of Swedish label Velour, have a great lineup for the summer. A slew of lightweight tops and bottoms. This tee is ideal for a beach retreat but great for a walk in the city on a warm summer day as well. As you can see, it’s a white base with stripes of navy blue, bright blue, beige and brown.

Hype Means Nothing currently offers a unique lineup of photo prints, which are featured on t-shirts and laptop cases, the most notable of the stars being the late, great Michael Jackson. Tokyo Dandy tells us Parisian retailer Colette began stocking HMN not too long ago, giving a much deserved push to the label. Some of these shots are just phenomenal and although we don’t endorse the wearing of entertainment figures on your body, some of these are actually cool.

Our favorites, you ask? Well, our top five dead or alive happen to be (in no particular order) Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, Notorious B.I.G., David Beckham, and Marilyn Monroe. Which shots do you like most?

Selectism turns us to Bumpy Pitch, a collection of tees inspired by old school soccer team logos, some dating as far back as the 1800s. Started by two local ex-pros, (one a veteran of the Galaxy, both of far more legitimate European teams) Pitch’s tees offer vintage apparel in a custom cut and a soft feel.

Shop the collection here. They also publish a blog that caters to the soccer lifestyle that we recommend you check out.

The Crew Striped Tee w/ pockets is a hard to miss kind of tee. Spindle decided to sew a striped fabric to a basic fabric and added a pocket to help ease the drastic change to the eye. This Crew Basic Tee is manufactured and pre shrunk and softened in Los Angeles. The Crew Basic T shirt comes with subtle raw seams on side, waist, and cuff. It also has Spindle’s signature two buttons on the bottom left corner of the waistband.

The Tee comes in two varietys, a grey/white blend and a black/white blend.

Let’s forget the rumors circling around the reason for Stevie not showing up to MacWorld this year. Let’s ignore that accidental obituary post that leaked by Bloomberg. This t-shirt kills all the rumors and reaffirms that truth: Steve Jobs Lives.
