Katie Striped Tunic by C&C California
Here's a great cashmere sweater, the Katie Striped Tunic by C&C California. This 100% cashmere top is 30 inches long with a deep V neck, banding at the neck, bottom hem, and cuffs, and 3/4 length, belled sleeves. Available in coco/charcoal, coco/coral, heather grey/charcoal, coco, and charcoal. We're seeing stripes everywhere, so why not get them in cashmere too?

Cashmere Hoodie by Vince
If you were interested in the cashmere hoodie we showed you yesterday but are looking for something a little less out there, consider the Cashmere Hoodie by Vince. Made of 100% cashmere, this top has pouch pockets at the front, a zipper closure, and ribbed banding at the pockets, neck, cuffs, and bottom hem. It comes in six colors, and it'd be a great way to cover up when it's a little cold.

New at Nerdy Shirts
There's a new tee over at Nerdy Shirts that we really like, Nintendo Family Tree. We grew up with the original Nintendo and Game Boy, so this is a little nostalgic for us. We haven't played for a while (and aren't too sure how to even pronounce Wii), but this brings back good memories.
Cashmere Deep V Ribbed Collar Sweater
This next sweater looks very comfortable. The Cashmere Deep V Ribbed Collar Sweater is 100% cashmere, has a large collar that can be scrunched or folded down and ribbed trim along the cuffs, collar, and bottom hem. Available in charcoal, lavendar, and maroon.
Cashmere Hoodie by L.A.M.B.
Interested in your cashmere a little more funky than what we've shown you so far? Consider the Cashmere Hoodie from L.A.M.B. Made from a cashmere and viscose blend, this sweater has a zipper down the front, pouch pockets, and ribbed banding at the cuffs, bottom hem, pockets, and hood. It's available in two different designs, leopard and multi.

Big Sale at Bedlam Clothing
Maybe you remember Bedlam Clothing, whom we wrote about last August? Well, they are having a huge sale right now. All their remaining stock is $6. They also have more tee designs and more pictures so you can get a better idea of what each tee looks like. With a sale like this, the Shirt Snob thinks you might want to buy up a ton of tees and give them out as presents whenever you need one.
Sale at Oddica
Oddica is having a holiday sale. Now each tee is $15, two are $28, and three or more are $13 each. They'll also send you a special bag for each tee that is a gift. This is a good stop for holiday shopping, so take advantage of this deal!
Drop Neck Sweater by Ya-Ya
Let's look at another white sweater. The Drop Neck Sweater by Ya-Ya is also 100% cashmere with extra long sleeves, contrast ribbed detailing at the bottom, is semi-sheer, and has the wide collar draping over the chest. Not everyone can pull off such a look, but for those of you that like these necks, this is the sweater for you.
Cashmere Sweater with Sleeve Detail by Karl Lagerfeld
The Cashmere Sweater with Sleeve Detail by Karl Lagerfeld is a little weird in that it has an oversized thumbhole at the cuffs. This is the type of thing that would bug some, but personally we would love it. This 100% cashmere sweater also has rolled edges at the shoulders and scoop neck, ribbed banding at the rounded bottom hem, and is semi-sheer.
November 27, 2006
What's New at Threadless
There have been more tees released over at Threadless that we'd like to update you on. Our favorites are mmmh.. Delicious and Good Intentions as well as the reprints Meat is Murder. Tasty, Tasty Murder, Lil' Soap, and She Doesnt Even Realize. Don't forget that some designs are being printed on hoodies and in children's sizes, and you can browse by size (links on the front page).
Fitted Cashmere Vest by adam+eve
The Shirt Snob's seen a lot of vests lately. We haven't really written about any because we haven't seen many that we like that much. But this one is nice. The Fitted Cashmere Vest by adam+eve has five buttons down the front, welt pockets above the hips with a button on each, and ribbed banding at the edges. We really like how it's paired with a simple long sleeved top like in the picture. It's a nice way to make a simple shirt more interesting. Available in heather grey and black.
Basic Cashmere Sweater Coat by Juicy Couture
Happy Monday readers! We hope you had a great long weekend! Since last week was a casual week, we've decided to make this week a little bit dressier. We are going to write all about cashmere! We'll throw in a few t-shirt and sale updates when we find them, but besides that it's all cashmere!
To start off the week, let's look at the Basic Cashmere Sweater Coat by Juicy Couture. Made of 100% cashmere, this long sweater has five buttons at the front and a tie at the waist. There is ribbed banding at the edges, long sleeves, and a shawl collar. It's available in three colors: dove, carmel, and black.
November 24, 2006
New at Snorg Tees
There are two new tees over at Snorg Tees. They won't be available for another week, but you can preorder them now. They are Celebrate Diversity and Making Spirits Bright, a great way to celebrate the upcoming holidays.
Bird Hoodie by Morris & Essex
We don't show you enough hoodies here at Shirt Snob. We really want to, but for some reason we don't find ones that we love that often. But here is a good one, the Bird Hoodie by Morris & Essex. Printed on American Apparel, this cotton hoodie has a bird on a branch on the front right and a tree screenprinted on the back. It has a zipper going up the front. We think it's a cute way to bundle up a bit in the fall air or to wear after a work out.
Shivtees
Shivtees is a t-shirt company that has some funny ideas. The company is run by a single guy who decided to design tees after deciding there weren't enough funny tees out there. Some of the designs we like include Killer Whale, Popcorn Tragedy, Seven Ate Nine, and Gingerbread Cannibalism. Each design comes in a few different colors, both men's and women's sizes, as well as in a hoodie.

Toasty Tees
It's not very often that the Shirt Snob laughs out loud when spotting a t-shirt, but we must say we did when we first saw Everybody Loves Ramen from Toasty Tees. This company just recently started, and they have six designs for sale right now. Each is available in a few different sizes and colors for both men and women. Other designs we like include the Recycling tee and Pawned.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Huge Sale at Maneater Threads
Wow, there are sales all over the place right now. We just found out about another. Remember Maneater Threads, who we wrote about last March? They are having a huge sale right now.

Thanksgiving Day Sale at Pink Mascara
Pink Mascara is having a Thanksgiving Day Sale. It's going on only today and tomorrow. Our picks include the Twelfth Street Alpaca Wool Hoodie and the Lauren Moffatt Merino Cashmere Sweater.
Ravenswood
The Shirt Snob just discovered Ravenswood, a new t-shirt shop online. Right now they have six tees for sale that are all cute, our favorite definitely being the Takeoff tee. It reminds us of something, like an ad we saw in the 80s or something like that. But whatever it is, it feels awfully homey to us! Birds and Stars is also very pretty too. We will be doing a review for Ravenswood shortly as well, so stay tuned!

Review: Bub Love
The Shirt Snob was lucky enough to receive a tee to review from bub love, a site that makes "hip tees for moms, dads & bubs." And as we're a mother, we couldn't be happier to have one of these tees. Bub love is run by a mother who started making tees for her son after not seeing many cute ones on the market. Quickly her homemade tees drew attention, so she started a business designing tees so that other babies would have cute clothing as well.
To begin with, the packaging is cute. Our shirt came in a brown paper bag with a clear plastic center where the design shows through. We received the love your bub design, which is brown with caremel colored ink. It is printed on American Apparel, which our loyal readers will know we love. We are wondering if the tee seems a little longer than we remember them being, but it fits well and is very comfy.
Besides tees for the parents, there are a bunch for the little ones. They have sizes starting at 6 months and going right on up until the kids are wearing adult sizes. Many of the children's tees have emotions on them too, so you can let the world know you have a happy bub, a cranky bub, or a precious bub. They also have a bag for sale as well.
The customer service is also wonderful. It is a small enough company that they really care about how you feel, and you are a real customer to them, not just a number or order. They are very nice and easy to order from. We recommend them wholeheartedly!
Also, make sure to read our review of a baby tee from bub love over at Super Cool Baby!
Two More Sales
There are two more sales we need to tell you about. The first is at Active Endeavors. Get 20% off non-sale items between now and December 24. Use the coupon code "thankyou" at check out for this deal to apply.

Retro Rags
There's yet another new t-shirt clothing line that we'd like to tell you all about. We discovered them over the summer, but for the longest time you couldn't buy their tees online. Finally you can! Retro Rags is a t-shirt site that has designs that are centered around entertainment spots of the past. They have four cities that they use as inspiration for their designs (Chicago, Detroit, New York, and LA), and as the Shirt Snob lives in Boston, we don't know much about any of these places. However, if you live in one of these cities or are familiar with them, we think they might interest you. We like the designs either way. Our favorites include Tequila Mockingbird, Moby's Dock, The Good Times Bar, and Edna Earle's Cocktails. They also sell men's tees and are giving away a free tee a day as well.
Threadless Update
An update on Threadless. They have a few more tees out, and we really like Since Forever and Burnout. Remember, they have new tees every day. So be sure to check back every day so you can see what's new.
November 20, 2006
New at Oddica

Agui
We're going to make this week a casual week as the Shirt Snob thinks holidays are a great time to stay inside with family wearing what we all feel the most comfortable in. Next week we'll be back to our normal mix of shirts, but for now, enjoy a short week of relaxed tops! Agui is a t-shirt company that makes shirts that represent art from different regions of the world. Their first stop is Mexico, and they have a four great tees in this collection. We really like Guadalupe and Libertad the most, but they are all good designs. You can also be a bit creative with their tees as each is available in five or six colors. They also sell men's tees. Agui's next collection will be Byzantine, and we can't wait to see what it includes!
November 19, 2006

Accessory Friday-Pink Opal Touchstone Necklace
We know that as it's no longer October, it's also not Breast Cancer Awareness Month. However, we found a beautiful necklace that is donating 15% of the sale price to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, so we thought we had to show it to you. The Pink Opal Touchstone Necklace from Fragments is a "a multi-faceted pink opal wrapped with delicate freshwater pearls and gold beading suspended on a 22” 14K gold vermeil hoop chain with heart-shaped clasp." The Shirt Snob doesn't think we've ever seen something so stunning. Consider helping out a bit more with breast cancer research by buying this stunning piece.
Floral Satin Blouse by Tracy Reese
The Shirt Snob loves this print, probably because we were recently looking for black and white clothes, and this would have been perfect. The Floral Satin Blouse by Tracy Reese is 100% silk, has an empire waist, a belt that can be tied in the front or back, a V-neck, and short sleeves.
November 16, 2006
DNA Stylelab
There's another shirt company out there that lets you design your own tee specifically for you. DNA Stylelab allows you to choose between a long and short sleeved tee, each having a variety of colors you can choose from as well. Then you choose your design from a bunch of different artists. You can make the design as big or as small as you'd like, place it where you want to, you can play around with the colors, and you can even place more than one design on each tee. For those of you who like to be creative, this is a ton of fun. They also sell men's tees, clocks, mouse pads, coasters, and wall art.
Bamboo Angel Tunic by Undesigned
Here's an interesting shirt, the Bamboo Angel Tunic by Undesigned. Made of 95% bamboo (and 5% spandex), which is something you rarely see, this top has a cowl neck in the front, 3/4 length sleeves with a slight bell shape, and it hangs down to the upper thigh. You could also reverse the top so that the cowl neck is at the back instead of the front.
November 15, 2006

Solid Silk Twill Cami with Beading by Rebecca Taylor
If you need something cute in the warmer weather, we think the Solid Silk Twill Cami with Beading by Rebecca Taylor will do the trick. Made of 100% silk, this halter top has ruching at the bust, elastic banding at the back, a hidden zipper, and spaghetti straps that tie behind the neck. It is lined at the bust, and there is flower detailing with rhinestones and beads at the bust as well. Available in two colors, sapphire and jet.
Death Cloud Sweatshirt by Fjord
Looking for something really casual to lounge around in? We really like the Death Cloud Sweatshirt by Fjord. It is made of a soft jersey cotton blend with a refined, tailored fit, and there are skulls inside of clouds on the front. We think it's a cute way to look a little dark.
New at Nerdy Shirts Plus Sale
There is a new tee at Nerdy Shirts this week, Free Hugs. If you're friendly and like giving people hugs, this tee is for you.
