I totally agree with your number 3 points. I was shocked when I received my very first order. Never thought it would be very err.. thin. It’s like it may be easily torn and will not lasts long. I ordered several tees for my kid and I am very dissappointed to see the designs fading slowly (as I had to do extra scrubbing while cleaning his dirty clothes)
Oh my..
And not to mention the shipping charges. It’s doubled the exact amount displayed on the parcel. I’m in Asia country, and the threadless shipping charges costs more than the price of a tee!

Or the fantastic Customdogs. I bought a Tee of them recently

they dont use fruit of the loom. There designs are limitied to 100 then there gone a new company but with really good designs.

Hoodies are really nice to good value.

Thank you! I’m so glad someone finally said it. It seems like any time you say something that might be negative toward Threadless (like how shipping is taking longer and longer), there are always people attacking you and making you feel stupid (maybe just me).
This also remindes me; the blogs use to be so nice and welcoming! Like you said, people are only talking about random crap, on top of that, they’re all incredibly rude and a bunch of smart asses. It also seems more and more like high school, it’s all cliquey. They like to jump on your blog and talk more about random crap and things that have nothing to do with the blog… and then you never get your question answered!
Ugh. It’s a shame really. I use to like Threadless so much.

[...] This reminded me of a debate on Fast Company a few months ago, “Anyone can be a designer — and should be“, and a postÂ from my colleague Adam onÂ ThreadlessÂ and the “burden” of their popularity. Of course, this is an age old debateÂ on who should be theÂ arbiter of beauty. [...]

[...] Last night I perused a number of articles describing the success of my favourite t-shirt store threadless, the first of which – over at 37Signals reviews in a positive light and the second in a more negative one. [...]

I joined Threadless in 2002, won their competition in 2003, and, in 2006, left the community for good. On one hand, I can’t help but marvel at the company’s success. On the other, I’m saddened by what has happened to it.

Today, Threadless is nothing more than MySpace with T-shirts. The Blog Forum is full of teenage losers who are more interested in talking about stupid things than discussing design. The competition (which is now more of a survey than an actual competition) is full of rip-off graphics and second-rate knock-offs of whatever graphic style is popular this month. As for the overall quality of their non-Select T-shirts, it’s dreadful. For a company that claims to sell over a million T-shirts a year, you’d think they’d step up their fabric and ink game.

I’d like to see more Threadless-style sites emerge. Right now, Threadless is so bloated and lame it would be nice to see an American site similar to Threadless ca. 2001-2004 pop up. I know several others who feel the same way.

If you’re a fan of Threadless, don’t take my comments as a personal insult. This is just the opinion of someone who watched the site grow up and doesn’t like what it has become. I have my opinion, you have yours.

I highly dislike AA … as Joe points out, the sizing can be inconsistent, which is annoying especially for women, many of whom like a precise fit. AA female cuts also aren’t very accommodating, and I find none of the sizes fit me quite right … too tight in the chest, but too loose over the hips, or just right in the chest, but too tight over the hips, so it rides up slightly. It’s irritating.

I don’t know why people seem to praise AA so much. They may not fade as badly as Fruit of the Loom. They don’t even come pre-shrunk. I wouldn’t pay more for AA, but I’d pay for an alternative. I always found Bella, the choice of many webcomic shops, incredibly flattering and accommodating for the natural curves of a female body.
