I visited Graph Design last week and we now have the sample T-shirts in hand. Even though I do say so myself the results were very pleasing.
2 designs were done using silk screens (Robots & Fiends) and 1 using digital printing (Skullboy). Both yielded very nice results but a slightly different feel. Fiends seem to work best as a screen print due to the simplicity of the design, and Skullboy really benefited from the vibrant colours that the digital printing can offer – apparently a slightly more expensive technique was used and this paid off with a nice mat finish as apposed to the usual horrible shininess.
Each shirt will be available in various different colourways and sizes (including kids) and the Robots will be available as a tank top for the ladies (see above).
We are currently working on the packaging. Each shirt will come in a presentation box that also includes a few extra goodies as mentioned before.
Shirts should be available for purchase next month. Watch this space.
Anyway I will stop rambling and let you have a look for yourself:
先週Graph Designに行って、出来立てほやほやのTシャツのサンプルを見て来ました。自分で言うのもなんだけど、出来が凄く良かった。
全部で3三つのデザインがTシャツ化した。2枚がシルクスクリーン(ロボットとFiends)で、1枚は転写プリント(Skullboy)で作っ た。どちらともいい感じに仕上がったが、雰囲気がそれぞれ微妙に違う。Fiendsのデザインがかなりシンプルなので、シルクスクリーンに一番向いている と思う。写真では見にくいかも知れないけど、Skullboyは転写プリントのお陰で凄く鮮やかな色になった。Skullboyのデザインには普段より ちょっと高いテクニックを利用したらしい。そのため、よくあるダサいピカピカ感がなく、良い感じのマット仕上げになった。
撮り合えず写真をアップします。
各デザインは様々な色合いとサイズで(キッズを含めて)展開する予定。それから、Robotのやつは(上記の)レディーズのタンクトップにもなる。
今、パッケージデザインは推敲中。各Tシャツはステキな箱に入れて、楽しいおまけも付いてる。
来月中に発売する予定。詳しい事は又ブログにアップします。

I think the price on the street will be about 4500 yen but there may be “mates’ rates” for the right kind of mates.
