Moonblood by Ami Kealoha
Drawing on Native American and Egyptian imagery, Philadelphia-based Moonblood tees are the handiwork of RISD alum and former Urban Outfitters/Free People designer Amy Eldon. Made in small editions, her hand drawn graphics are in keeping with Moonblood's use of Alternative Apparel and American Apparel tees and "a fascination with imagery evoking the feeling of places and spaces." Many tees feature blends, like a poly-cotton-rayon, and "burnout" fabric, for that perfect-soft feel and a unique look. All are hand-printed by local printers and hand-dyed. Shirts start at $38 (but U.S. shipping is free!) from Moonblood, but their totes a distinctive accessory too.

Minor Variety T-Shirts
by Andrew PotashIn an era when the t-shirt market is saturated with all-over prints and every company has an "artist" collaboration, it's refreshing to see the La Jolla, CA-based label Minor Variety take it back to the basics. The visionaries behind the brand were tired of tees acting as billboards, yet wanted a shirt with a little more flare than a plain tee. Minor...

Alabama Builds Shirt
Handmade in the U.S. with organic cotton and benefiting Architecture for Humanity's Gulf Coast Project, the Alabama Builds tee is a win-win-win situation. An offshoot of the Alabama Project (the short-lived adventure in couture made from recycled materials by local seamstresses in Alabama) the shirt uses the reverse appliqué technique that the Project applied to basketball jerseys, dresses and shirts to much success. The...

Moonblood Superhero Tees
Philadelphia t-shirt makers Moonblood's latest features angular shapes that evoke the lightning bolts of action hero costumes. The hand-drawn graphics are filled in with finely-detailed patterns that look as if they were culled from around the world. Not unlike their first collection of Egyptian-inspired motifs and Native American imagery, the result is a modern tribal look that takes the tee beyond predictable centered-graphic designs....

Squidfire Hoodie
Just over a year old, the Baltimore-based line Squidfire now boasts a whole range of goods hand-printed on manual presses with their original designs. In addition to Vans (actually hand-painted), messenger bags and a line for kids, they've recently introduced hoodies, like this "Workout" sweatshirt (pictured left, $45) that features overlapping images of a smiling 70's-era muscleman in red, blue and black on grey....

Rxmance Fall '06
New from the aptly-named line Rxmance, their Fall collection of tees, like their other collections, seems to be guided by what happens to capture the designer's fancy. The new goods range from abstract geometric prints (pictured) to something that looks like ski lodge chic from the '70s (Detour, Revolve Clothing, and Standard Style....

Print Liberation
Philadelphia-based design studio Print Liberation carries a line of tees, prints, and accessories that will make any font nerd swoon. Printed on American Apparel, we like the layout and concept of the "Don't Give Up" tee, which avoids the bumper sticker-like pitfalls of other message shirts by using non-centered and so-clichéd-it's-meaningless text and was also one of Print Liberation's wheat paste campaigns. The same...
