Ontour Tees by Ami Kealoha

The Grimm's fairytale of the Bremen Town musicians tells the fable of a donkey, dog, cat, and rooster who, fed up with their day jobs, venture into the world to pursue lives as musicians. For Ontour, a new line out of the Netherlands, the tale was inspiration to launch their clothing label and became the source material for the four shirts in their debut collection. Using a cartoonish trumpet as a logo and images of balloon animals, the series features raining cats and donkeys, patterns made up of tiny versions of the creatures, and a playful reference to traditional imagery (and the Maurizio Cattelan sculpture) of the characters stacked on one another.

Currently Ontour tees are only available at select stores in Europe and online at Fresh Cotton.

Maybe because we're excited about the upcoming U.S. release of Control or maybe just because we appreciate any interpretation of Peter Saville's pulsar-inspired design, but either way +41's new Fairtilizer t-shirt turned our head. Developed for a music sharing site (called Fairtilizer) that +41 is art directing, the 100% cotton tee is a nice addition to the rest of their (almost) all black-and-white 2007...
Catpod Tee
Collectively, Team CH is more of a dog person, but we do love a three-legged feline on a t-shirt—especially when profits support pooches fighting cancer. Designed by L.A.-based artist Amanda Viselli, the cat-in-a-hat graphic tee helps Sonia Zjawinski's ongoing effort (dubbed I Heart Tripods) inspired by her own dog Lulu's battle with bone cancer. Printed on a heather blue Alternative Apparel crew neck, the...

We're pleased to have the illustrious Seth Brau as the latest addition to Team CH. In addition to founding Five Three Footwear when he was still in his teens and his current animation work, he also has pretty good taste in music. What follows are a few of his current favorites. Though Seth admits he's not the biggest of Dead Heads, we all agreed...
