Two week evaluation



I seem to have acquired a post tube.
I imagine most people don’t have a post tube, and so I am now among a very privileged minority.
I discovered my post tube upon returning to my office today, standing proudly on my desk and brimming with parcels and packages holding recently posted T-shirty goodness.
It appears that whilst I was away last week, an abundance of T-shirt donations were made to my challenge that required containment within some sort of cylindrical conveyance, hence my new post tube.

This is the largest intake of T-shirts I’ve had since Day 2 of the project, when I had so many arrive in one hit that I was able to elevate the blog’s stock level status from ‘OKAY’ to ‘GOOD’. My post tube has ensured that I won’t be reversing that status level any time soon, which is fantastic news!
I’m very happy with how the project has progressed so far; it’s attracting a lot of interest and intrigue, T-shirts are emerging from all over the world and a lot of my social network activity is being shared. The momentum is great considering the project is still in its infancy and it would be awesome for my 365 T-shirt target if it stays this way.

Consider this my two-week evaluation of the THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge.

Day 14



I have been a fan of the surf brand The Realm for many years, so I was delighted when Jay over at the Realm website donated this T-shirt to my challenge all the way from California! The package it came in actually smells of sunshine, board wax and attractive women.

Upon the chest section of this khaki green tee sits the inverted, three-cresting-waves company logo, overlaid by a bright blue and green hypnotic wood-grain style pattern and tinged with deregistered stress effects around the edges.
Beneath the logo, scrawled in carefree handwriting is the company slogan Ride Free.
And as a further bonus, Jay threw in some sunshine board wax attractive women smelling stickers, which I’m told I don’t necessarily have to wear on my face, but it's snowing outside, I'm wearing a surf tee, so that pretty much gives me license to lose the plot.

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
