Concrete Rocket - Shirt Snob's new favorite t-shirt company!
Concrete Rocket is a t-shirt company that has some great designs that our readers need to check out. This company is based out of Singapore we think, and they make graphic tees using stencils, limited colors that help their designs pop, and imaginative concepts. The Shirt Snob sees tons of t-shirts, and we rarely get excited about a company. However, Concrete Rocket is one that makes us want to see more. Right now they have eight womens tees, including Pet Problem, Imagination Unlimited, and Balloon Man. They sell mens tees too, and their international shipping starts at only $5, so don't be scared off by their location if you are in the US.
