kingdomcome Jan 08, 2008
dope shirt for sure
herman16 Jan 09, 2008
Love it, but I don’t understand what discharge ink is, and I’m wondering how that sleeve would be an entirely different color. Definitely like the look of this though.
shantyshawn Jan 10, 2008
Discharge is basically a bleaching agent that is used to take the color out of the shirt. Discharge can be applied as raw discharge or tinted discharge. Raw discharge will give a dark-colored shirt a bleached look, and tinted discharge results in a more muted tone of the ink color that is used.

mavistsai Feb 20, 2008
i like the black and white different each sleeve,really feel the flying
shantyshawn Feb 20, 2008
Thanks to everyone, including DBH, it’s much appreciated!!
VonBrookhofen Feb 20, 2008
This is so cool, will definately have to get myself one, will be my first DBH buy as well. A quick question though, is it black or white on the back (as I take it that the print only covers the front)?
shinakuma666 Feb 21, 2008
Hello, I would also liked to know how is the shirt in the back ?
Balty Feb 21, 2008
the shirt is black with white printing, so the back is blank and black. GREAT WORK, LOVE THIS SHIRT!
Dara Feb 21, 2008
nice, jumping up on that top sellers list to #5 today i see.
campkatie Feb 22, 2008

Ugh, the last medium sold out a minute ago as I was trying to buy it. Reprint?
thenewzero Feb 23, 2008

alexandre Feb 24, 2008

sasufi18 Feb 24, 2008
this is real cool love birds on tees!
Thewhit Feb 25, 2008
Yes! I’m glad I got this before it sold out … I love it!!
D-Ball Feb 25, 2008
How heavy is the white print? Given the size and thickness of the print – does it breathe? Is the shirt stiff and uncomfortable? There’s no question it LOOKS amazing – but how does it wear?
shantyshawn Feb 25, 2008
Hey D-Ball, left you a comment on your profile page.
CardinalGoldstein Feb 25, 2008
I just got my shirt today. I must say it looks fantastic, and I am glad I got my copy. D-Ball: The ink is a bit stiff. Due to the type of ink/varnish used and the large degree of coverage, breathing will be an issue, but not a big one I think since the ink is only on one side in the front – there will be plenty of opportunity for air movement laterally. I guess other ink would not have offered the type of opaque coverage needed.
D-Ball Feb 25, 2008
Shantyshawn, left you further questions on YOUR profile. Tag!
Dara Feb 26, 2008
must reprint!
alexx Feb 26, 2008
Reprint Please!!
shantyshawn Feb 26, 2008
Back atcha D-Ball!
KazRemark Feb 27, 2008
Reprint in L Mens Please! Awesome design!
Lascivius Feb 27, 2008
This totally must be reprinted in smaller sizes! I look like a walking tent when I am in anything larger than a medium-sized t-shirt! Great design though, very interesting use of positive/negative space and man… shades of Hitchcock… love it.
sgerdt Feb 27, 2008
please reprint in smaller sizes – and girl sizes. I love this shirt
missmonster Feb 28, 2008
Wow, this is well done!

bogoio Mar 09, 2008
u r rich now!
lorenaipso Mar 09, 2008
calm down ppl! this is not so original, i’ve already seen a print like that on the net, i think it was a site t-shirts.com or similar, instead of birds were bats and the background was a blue sky, sorry i couldnt find a pic on the net. It looked better than this one.
wann Mar 10, 2008
buyit
Dara Mar 10, 2008
congrats again!!!! big money!
ReiToei Mar 10, 2008
Awesome design! Got it a couple of days ago and proudly wearing it. But I’m kinda fearing the day I have to wash it :/. Any washing instructions/advice?
VonBrookhofen Mar 10, 2008
(To ReiToei) Washed mine for the first time yesterday. Washed it inside out in the washing machine, used a non-colourfast setting and the temperature was 30 celsius. Came out fine.
MrRocks Mar 10, 2008
Congrats. Shirt of the month, nice work. Deserved it too, a simple yet popular shirt. (and I’m sure a smokin’ hot blonde modeling didn’t hurt either!)
shantyshawn Mar 11, 2008
Thanks everyone and thanks DBH! Now I can go get those botox injections in my butt cheeks!
slandin Mar 14, 2008
this goes to the top.. bestseller.. you deserve it..
Leoskii Mar 15, 2008

tnation Mar 15, 2008
I love this thirt, I just got one today!
yebellz Mar 15, 2008
Awesome design. I think it would look great on a snowboard. I don’t know if DBH’s copyright agreement would allow it, but if it does, you should show it to some snowboard companies, such as Burton, Rome, Flow, Ride… to name a few.
aman Mar 16, 2008
Got rockstar award?
Setup85 Mar 17, 2008
Nice! Might buy later.
XZeroX52 Mar 18, 2008

Baxter Mar 20, 2008
This is more than a killer!
Polari Mar 20, 2008
Reprint in medium?
unsunken Mar 20, 2008
Awesome shirt! I just got mine in the mail and it looks great. It’s a little hot though and a little tight; a size L fits tighter than a size M of the same cut (basic fit tee) of a different design, so I’d recommend ordering up a size.
Yintaro Mar 21, 2008
reprint M MEN’s size pleease! :) awesome! ^^
infernum Mar 22, 2008

ieatfood54491 Apr 05, 2008
Uhh, I think reprinting your #1 selling shirt would be a good idea.
Aamukaksi Apr 06, 2008
I’ve got to say I’m not as excited about this shirt as many users seem to be. I ordered it for my girlfriend (since my size was already out of stock) and was utterly dissapointed when the shirt arrived. The print is full of smudges, the shirt looks dirty and it was sticking together when I pulled it out of the envelope. The neck print is already falling in pieces and I’m expecting the same to happen with the actual print in the first wash.
I really wanted to see how DBH was able to print this in a nice way and offer it for it’s customers for a cheap price. I guess I should’ve known the answer.
Seriously, I’d pay twice this amount for the shirt if it was good quality. At the moment the quality is a joke and the sticker (containing excuses and all kinds of bullshit) that was on the shirt really didn’t make the joke any better.
Paramore Apr 06, 2008
Hey Aamukaksi, can you please show us some close up pics of your shirt?
agirolamo Apr 07, 2008
Hey Aamukaksi, The shirt needs to be washed before you wear it. Must be something about the discharge ink, mine came the same way…all sticking together. As soon as I washed it the fabric was all smooth and it looked incredible! the ink sank right into the shirt and gave it that faded out look. It looks really cool..I’ve bought three of them so far, and they’ve all been great quality and look amazing once washed.
agirolamo Apr 07, 2008
Oh…and REPRINT Please!!!!!
DenS Apr 08, 2008
Yeah, some crappy designs lately – but no old good styles :(.
Frickinawesome Apr 09, 2008
dammit,i didn’t order this when i had the chance…sniff. I’m sure it’ll be reprinted onna these days.
Conore Apr 09, 2008
Its alright, but I don’t think this deserves to be the most popular shirt on this website.
KraZe Apr 14, 2008
There’s supposed to be a reprint on the way, or so one of the men themselves told me when I asked.
:D
drew_hytt Apr 17, 2008

Tessa Apr 20, 2008
I went to buy this shirt last night (in women’s) and I had it in my cart and everything, but by the time I placed my order it was sold out. I wanted to cry, I really did. I wasn’t sure if they’d reprint it, so I’m glad to see it’s looking like they will.

drew_hytt May 02, 2008
yeah windeh, takes for ever, ordered a set like 2 weeks ago!! come onnn!
Johpin May 04, 2008
So, we’re supposed to wash this first before wearing right?
agirolamo May 05, 2008
Wash First. It softens the ink and gets rid of that fresh ink stickyness.
JozhGoober May 06, 2008
Just got mine today, and yes WASH it first. It’s really nice and soft afterwards. I daresay this has become my new favorite shirt!
But, I think I would be willing to pay a little more to have the design wrap around the back, even a little.
casemee May 06, 2008
I just got this shirt… it was my first DBH purchase. I think that I am now a forever DBH fan.
I’ve been reading the comments about how I should wash it first before wearing it, but really, I’M AFRAID TO! I’m afraid that it’ll bleed or (especially) that the thick ink will crack from the wash/dryer.
So, what do you guys say? Should I wash it by itself? Cold water? What kind of heat setting on the dryer?
I’d really hate to ruin such a nice shirt.
LokiBoki May 06, 2008
Reprint on medium please D:???
JozhGoober May 06, 2008
For all those asking about how to wash it, I just followed the instructions printed on it and it turned out fine. Cold wash (I used a gentler cycle, and it was in with a few other clothes), low heat dry. Came out fine for me.
EvilBread May 06, 2008
Medium sold out again!? You have got to be kidding me!
UndercoverPunk May 08, 2008
I got mine recently, and I must agree that the print really isn’t as good as I thought it would be. Every other shirt I’ve gotten here has been spot on, but this one has color bleeding through the ink, and fairly large spots where there is no ink from there being wrinkles.
This looks like B-stock quality at best. Neat design, but apparently impractical at this time. Good news is I now have the coolest sleeping shirt in town. :/

iedwardsiii May 09, 2008
I’m reading these last comments and it looks like I got the last medium. I’m wearing this shirt right now, fantastic design!
Reikachu May 10, 2008
Just got this, was disappointed when it came because it was so sticky / worn, but after washing and actually wearing it I got so many compliments. The design is fantastic enough that a little wear doesn’t matter.
fastpoodle May 10, 2008
Ummm…may I ask for a reprint? Or am I asking for to much? :(
cobrabyte May 10, 2008
Yeah, not too happy with how this one was printed.
It smells of spray paint … yuck.
windeh May 12, 2008
Finally got this shirt! Looks great, just had it washed :p Took less than 2 weeks, haha.
UndercoverPunk May 12, 2008
Let’s see if you can understand this with my foot in my mouth.
The shirt looks a million times better after you wash it. The white loses some of it’s brightness, which makes it look a million times better.
