Indie Shop Highlight: miles to go
 Posted By: matt2kool on Wednesday, July 7th

miles to go
http://milestogoclothing.com/
Location: Gilbert, AZ
Products: T-shirts, hoodies, tank-tops, jackets, & hot pants
Coupon Code: ‘Tilteed’ = 20% your order!

With the product quality and customer service you get from Miles to Go clothing, you might be surprised to find out it’s all done by one guy. Greg Kerr was turned off by the clothing available in stores and online so he started Miles to Go as a creative outlet for himself. Being heavily influenced by art and literature, Greg decided to combine the two and put them on t-shirts. Instead of the meaningless logos and names that flood the apparel industry, Greg wanted to create a piece of walking art that has a story behind it. And he has done just that with Miles to Go clothing.

image

All Miles to Go t-shirts (and hoodies, tank-tops, track jackets & hot pants) are printed on American Apparel garments. So you know you’re getting the best quality blank. But one of the best parts about mtg is the size and quality of their prints. Almost all of their designs take up the entire front of the shirt and they are all printed with a specialty ink called discharge. If you are unfamiliar, discharge ink basically removes the dye from the cotton fibers and replaces it with the design. This results in a super soft feel, almost as if you’re just wearing a blank cotton shirt…but the amazing artwork is still there!

image

Speaking of amazing artwork, Miles to Go uses some of the best designers out there. Their lineup includes Dave Quiggle, Godmachine, and Dan Mumford. The new Fall line being released in August will feature some awesome pieces from Keaton Henson and Rob Dobi.

image

And like I said before, the customer service you receive at Miles to Go is top notch. If you have any questions or issues, Greg is always willing to help you sort it out. He even takes suggestions for possible future designs, so if you have an idea, let him know!

If you’d like to pick up any of the incredible designs over at Miles to Go, use this special discount code Greg made just for you! “Tilteed” takes 20% off your entire order.

Holy cow! One year! We’re happily celebrating Tilteed’s 1 year anniversary this month and we’re doing it the only way we know how - by giving away as much awesome stuff as we can.

Over the past year we’ve had the pleasure of printing t-shirts by some amazingly talented artists and sending them all over the world. We have fans who’ve bought t-shirts from Japan to Germany to our own backyard here in Portland, Oregon. We’ve shipped shirts to China, Argentina, and even Pakistan. People are wearing Tilteed shirts on 6 of the 7 continents - everywhere except Antarctica so far. But maybe our 2nd year will be the one where we make it to the southernmost continent.

Here at Tilteed headquarters we have a map on the wall with pins stuck in all of the places we’ve been shipping. We’re simply blown away by the support the t-shirt community and t-shirt fans have shown us.

So I, dunz0, now have a weekly column over at Coty Gonzales’s t-shirt blog! Last week, I gave an introduction to what I’ve been up to in Portland at Tilteed headquarters. In the upcoming weeks, I’ll be tackling different topics, some of which may be about my Portland experiences in general. I hope you enjoy the read!

Big thanks to Coty for giving us a weekly feature!

We just love it when art t-shirts and designer toys join forces! Designer toy artist and blogger John posted about our latest Tilteed contest winning design, “The Inner Workings of a Maniac,” at SpankyStokes. Thanks for letting our two design platforms meet, John!

If you need a short break from reading, here’s a video review that you can watch. On the latest episode of Thread Notes, Brad shows off his new “Jungle Book” tee at the park. We agree that you should get out on such a beautiful day. The t-shirt fits in very nicely with the nature backdrop!

Thanks for the great review, Brad. We’re glad that you like the shirt!

Anthony rocks our “Jackalope” tee in his latest post about Tilteed at TeeRater. The design looked wonderful in the print shop, but it looks even better out in the wild!

Thanks for the shout out, Anthony!

 
Indie Shop Highlight: Seibei
 Posted By: dunz0 on Friday, June 25th

Seibei
http://www.seibei.com/
Location: Poughkeepsie, NY
Products: T-shirts, sweatshirts, posters, accessories

SEIBEI is a brand that has been around for several years now. Started by David Murray, SEIBEI is home to a plethora of fun, silly designs. I was first drawn to this shop when I discovered the Sandwich Dinosaur t-shirt. Although the design is simple, that’s exactly what makes it perfect. The bossy little dinosaur wants nothing more than a nice, filling sandwich, so go make him one!

image

What I love about SEIBEI is that it has designs that are out of the ordinary, including shirts that say “I’ll Never Stop Pooping” and “I’m Fat Let’s Party!” Not to mention, many of the shirts are chockfull of bright colors and perfect for the summertime. They even have an Intramural Zombie Hunter shirt that you can customize based on the amount of gore. Overall, it’s a great company full of monsters, dinosaurs, and all things weird.

image

Get to know SEIBEI and check out what they have to offer today!
