Day 200



It's Day 200 of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge - a beautifully nice round firm juicy number - and a milestone in my effort of year-long non-repeated T-shirt wearing. To celebrate, I've chosen to spend the day inside a brand new T-shirt by first time donator Mainline Menswear.
I've recently been speaking with Andy of the online Men's Designer T-shirt retailer who expressed his interest in my challenge and the attention it's been receiving worldwide. Fortunately for me, Andy was able to dig out this Religion T-shirt that was going spare at the Mainline Menswear office and what an amazingly elaborate article it is!

The Religion brand based out of Shoreditch is known for pursuit of individual style, lyrical quotes, musical muses and British heritage and this garment definitely supports that manifest. The bulk of this tee features a full-canvas print of a lady's patriotic hindquarters. That alone is enough of a reason to celebrate - I could probably end this post right here!

But I shouldn't.

While she is clutching a teddy bear, the text printed at the bottom beckons the viewer to join Miss Rear for a sleepover, and... Wow, really? A sleepover??

Focus...

As well as a mighty sex-factor, this tee boasts a number of other intriguing design features including trails of rugged seam stitching up and down the whole garment, snippets of printed text framing the print and possibly my favourite detail of all, a crudely embroided rendition of the brand logo device; a praying skeleton in the lower right corner.

It's actually quite satisfying to run your finger over.
The embroidery, not the...

Never mind.

This is one of many fantastic T-shirts available from Mainline Menswear and right now the store is offering 25% off on selected Religion brand tees. See more from the shop via their Twitter account

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…
