Cool tay-shirts

It's an epidemic.

Seattlest devoted a blow-out, lollapalooza of investigative journalism to buying fashionable t-shirts in Seattle. We wish we had thought of the post first. Very cool to have a list of merchants offering the very trendy fashion item. We know Ts have mostly always been cool but you do have to admit that there has been a big uptick growing -- it's getting to the point that there are even spur-trends with varietals like 'retro' and 'art' joining classics like 'witty text' in the mix. Also, for you too-cool-for-school types, blog mentions of the trend do not yet mark the auotmatic death of said trend the way a mention in a Seattle Times column might. At least, not quite yet. Back to Seattlest's post, they call out neighborhood vendors I Heart Rummage, Ian and Zebra Club as good places to score a rad T -- we'd probably add a few more 1st Ave stores (Moda Express, for one). We'd also like to know more about local shirt designers -- exclusive Nike designs don't count! But folks like Ames Brothers (HQ'ed on Westlake over by Jones Soda-ville, aka "South Lake Union") certainly do. Oh, and, Seattlest, cool t-shirts aren't just for boys.
