I had second thoughts about posting this King Tut Kanye Glasses Tshirt because I really dislike those glasses; as talented as Kanye is, he can’t sell me on them. But they actually look pretty good on the boy king. And since the current King Tut exhibition at The de Young Museum is nearly over and summer is just a few short months away, this tee isn’t quite as random as it first appears. Get it for $19 from Headline Shirts.

Welcome to Rapture is a solid tribute to the game BioShock and references the underwater city in which it is set. Love the game. Love the shirt. You can get it for £12 from GamerPrint.

The FLOC Crest Tshirt is a limited edition, as is all of FLOC’s products. Each of their designs is limited to 113 (which is what you get when you ad the longitude and latitude of NYC together). I dig the prints on this tee — front and back — and the way it appears specially treated to fit super comfortably. It looks like there are only a few left in stock, so you might still be able to purchase one for $25.

The DWNTWN Skyline Tshirt promotes both the city of San Francisco and the skate shop. You can grab one for $18. Incidentally, 4fifteen — friend, sponsor of our latest giveaway, and creator of the SF Street Signs Tshirt — has a photo installation together with Travis Jensen going up at DWNTWN Skate Supply this weekend. The show is called, Welcome to San Franpsycho and its opening reception (which is this coming Saturday and which you can RSVP to here if you’re on Facebook) will spawn a limited edition collab shirt with DWNTWN SF x 4Fifteen x Travis Jensen x Frank Chu. If you’re local, I highly recommend you check it out…and even if you can’t make it to the reception, you should swing by for the installation which should be up for a couple of months.

Gingham USA by Turk and Taylor is a solidly simple tee. I love it. I was never partial to gingham…but in this color, on this Tshirt, and in this shape, I’m definitely a fan. And it’s currently on sale for $20.

The Hammer and Popsicle T-shirt uses a funny and simple flip on the soviet symbol from which it’s derived. It was designed by Nbrosas for 6DollarShirts…that means you can buy it for just $6.

The 9 Pine Cones T-shirt by Bush + Leavenworth is simple tee that falls in nicely with the entire collection. Perhaps one (or all) of these pine cones served as a source of inspiration for the company’s logo. Available for $30.
