How Cool is A Threadless Shirt!


Have you ever heard of a Threadless Shirt? It’s quite possible to obtain and I’ll show you how. You just simply go to www.threadless.com find that awesome T-shirt you just have to have and order as many as you want. No worries, the T-shirts actually come with threads; Threadless is the name of the website and company. I learned about this company through our past class assignment in BITE 5389, where we learned about and examined www.threadless.com and created a t-shirt design incorporating Web 2.0 technology.

Threadless is an online apparel store that is also like a social network or a community. Members of threadless.com are allowed to submitted original t-shirt designs, where they can be displayed for the public to vote on the best shirt. After voting commences, the winning design is printed and sold in the online store on www.threadless.com. Winners of the designed t-shirt can get paid up to $2,500 and $500 for each reprint. They also receive store credit as well. Threadless also has a retail store in Chicago, IL. In the store they sell most of the shirts you see online and change every Friday. The store also includes an upstairs gallery were people can take design classes.

Threadless offers a lot of unique shirts and designs created by unique individuals like you. So if you have a design for t-shirt design that you know is arctic cool, then join the community, create the design, and submit it. What do you have to lose…exploring a hidden talent, getting your idea out to many people, and making money? Just go for it, or buy some cool shirts that you know your buddies won’t have. Threadless is a t-shirt collector’s and wearer’s paradise, so go Threadless.

  1. I really enjoyed the Threadless project and thought the website was really interesting. I was completely unaware that anything like it even existed until this class project. The variety of artwork on those shirts is phenomenal. I agree that it is the perfect outlet for anyone wishing to express their artistic side by submitting a design or supporting an artist by wearing a design.
