Our Special Breakout T-Shirts

For a while we've been promising our customers a special promotion on our t-shirts and so we've decided to give them exactly what they want, thanks to our exclusive Breakout T-Shirt section.
Starting today we will be selecting a design from our website which we will be available for our customer's wearing pleasure at the hairy palmed price of just £10.99. This promotion will only last for a limited time as we have just a specific number of each selected design to include in this discount. Our very first Breakout t-shirt is our Jaws tribute tee, Sharkspotter Amity Island, and is currently available for £10.99 HERE

Shocktober Tees For The S.D.F.C.

It's the most mysterious month of the year and to celebrate we've designed four special t-shirts which celebrate four of the most famous conspiracy theories in history. We have the JFK assassination conspiracy, the death of Marilyn Monroe, the Roswell Incident and the fake moon landing conspiracy. Enjoy.

Two New Tees

WATCH TV & STAY ASLEEP

Here are two spanking new t-shirts currently available over on our website. The first is a parody of those Keep Calm And Carry On t-shirts currently doing the rounds spliced with a subtle reference to John Carpenter's cult sci-fi classic They Live. As you can see the second t-shirt was inspired by the wonderfully eclectic British weather.

MEANWHILE, BACK IN BRITAIN

Check Out Movie Overdose

We just received this picture of the guys over at Movie Overdose who were kind enough to wear a couple of our Wire tribute t-shirts. Sam Unsted, John Doree and Tom Green review the latest cinematic releases and debate the finer points of being a film fan on their excellent weekly podcast. If by now you don't believe that radio is dead and buried then you haven't listened to podcasts like the Movie Overdose. Like films? Then listening to Sam, John and Tom is a no-brainer.

You can also follow the guys over at their Twitter page HERE

To play one of the most addictive and fun filled games consoles ever produced. No, we aren't on comission for Nintendo but their Wii provides us here at the S.D.F.C. with bags of gaming satisfaction. So much so we've designed a t-shirt just for those of you who know the joys of the Wii...drunk or sober.

N.B. We will be adding this tee to our collection in the next few days.

Recently a few of our film tribute t-shirts were featured on the excellent movie blog www.filmschoolrejects.com

We get a massive kick from online articles like this, as we know the people responsible have a love and affinity for the same kind of things we do. Check out the article HERE and also explore their site, it's jam packed with cool movie related stuff you won't find on the bigger more commercial sites. Enjoy.

Same Old Crap!

Here's two new designs we created this month which we hope you'll get a kick out of. The recycle t-shirt basically says it all, we are living in age where originality died a long, long time ago and we're having to put up wit the same old crap, day in, day out. And the Old King Cole tee is the first of a new batch of similar themed t-shirts which we will be uploading onto the website soon.

You'll also start to notice some changes around the S.D.F.C. in the next few weeks, as we're shaking things up a bit on our main website. Among them will be a brand new section exclusively for hoodies and a customer gallery, which we've been promising for some time. There will be other stuff too, including some special deals and discounts, so keep checking back for updates.

What Were They Thinking?

We read about this story in the newspapers last week and thought we should share it with you as it went largely ignored by the mainstream media.
Turns out Hollywood director/actor Woody Allen is suing a clothing company called American Apparel for using an image of him on their advertising billboards, (for those of you who don't know AA are huge in America and are one of the biggest t-shirt suppliers the country has to offer).
Apparently Mr Allen has a strong objection over the use of his image or his body of work to promote anything comercially and as American Apparel failed to seek his approval over the use of his face in their adverts he's suing them for $10m.
This is truly an amazing feat of stupidity, firstly who the f**k goes and uses a famous person's face in a large advertising project without ever consulting with said celebrity for approval and secondly, if you look at the advert what the hell does it have to do with the products they are selling?
Incidentally their last billboard was defaced as it showed a woman bending over in a pair of tights next to the phrase "Gee, I wonder why women get raped?"

Lovelace & King

Long time no hear, but truth be told we've been busy tidying the website up, getting organised for hitting the summer music festival scene, generating new ideas and designs and working on a special side project which we hope to reveal later in the year...plus some of us ended up addicted to playing Call Of Duty 4 on Xbox Live.

Anyhoo, here's two new tees for your wearing pleasure this month, the first features a replica of the customer service sticker which was stuck onto the body armour of Hannibal King, (played by Ryan Reynolds) in the movie Blade: Trinity.

We understand that the Blade vampire franchise is pretty much dead in the water but why, oh why, didn't they just forge ahead with a Nightstalkers spin off with Reynolds and Biel?


The other tee is a design we came up with ourselves pulling inspiration from a 70s sex comedy farce called Linda Lovelace For President. Those of you not familiar with Lovelace can catch up with her rather tragic life story here, but in short she was one of the world's first commercially recognised porn stars, largely due to her controversial hardcore movie Deep Throat.
That's all for just now folks but we have a ton of new and exciting stuff for you in the pipeline, which we hope will take your fancy.

The Ups & Downs Of Decemer 2007. Part 1: The Downs

Firstly let us officially wish you a Happy New Year and all the very best for the next 12 months and thanks again to all of our customers who kept us busy throughout the run up to Christmas. Last month was definately full of mixed emotions for us here at the State Dept Of Fashion Corrections. This first part will detail the down side of December for us and the next part will deal with the upside.

Picture the scene we're busy printing up shirts for customers three weeks before Christmas when we get a call from a lovely young lady from the BBC, (for our American readers that stands for British Broadcastng Corporation), who tells us that she loves our John Smeaton and Proudly Banjoing Terrorists t-shirts. We thank her and she goes on to tell us that she's currently involved with filming a documentary about John Smeaton, (the Glasgow airport baggage handler who helped to fight off two terrorists intent on blowing the place up), for the BBC entitled An Accidental Hero and that it would be really cool if we could supply her with some free t-shirts. So we agree, after all it's not everyday we get a phonecall from the BBC. She explains that the film crew will be followng Smeaton to New York where he'll be presented with a special CNN Everyday Superhero Award and will meet with stars such as Mary J Blige, Glen Close, Kevin Bacon and Billy Connelly and that she and the rest of the crew would love to hand out our t-shirts to the stars. As you can imagine we get a tad excited about the prospect of our t-shirts being handed out to Hollywood celebs so we agree to supply her with a batch of Smeaton and Banjoing Terrorists t-shirts and we post them out to her two days before the crew are due to fly out to New York. She is overjoyed and promises to phone us when the she returns from the Big Apple.

Four days later and true to her word we get the call, but we realise straight away that something is wrong. She tell's us that they all made it to New York only to discover that Heathrow Airport staff had placed the wrong labels on all of their luggage and that they spent the entire three days with no change of clothes, laptops, camera equipment or, more importantly for us, t-shirts. So there you have it folks, what could have been a massive opportunity for the S.D.F.C turned into a non-event, we had visions of watching LL Cool J flexing his man cannons whilst wearing Proudly Banjoing Terrorists t-shirt. Apparently nobody seems to know where the the t-shirts ended up, so if you settle down to watch the news one night and are surprised to see some kids running around Somalia or Kazakhstan with John Smeaton's face plastered over their chests, you know the story behind their t-shirts.

The Xmas Rush

Hey folks, not long now till the festive season kicks into high gear and don't worry if you've just recently placed an order with us, we'll try our very best to get it sent off ASAP. We run a 5-10 working day dispatch policy, which basically means when you place an order with us we will dispatch it within 5-10 days, (weekends not included). Usually we send out orders within a day or two but as you can imagine we have been slammed with Xmas orders and things here at the S.D.F.C. have been busier than normal. Any queries drop us a line at info@bonaroo.co.uk

A Man Called Quint

A while ago we sent out one of our Quint's Great White Fishing Trips tees to, funnily enough, a guy called Quint who writes and contributes for the excellent movie website Ain't It Cool News. That was a few months ago and to be honest we had forgotten all about it until just last week, when one of our inmates noticed that the big guy had included not only the Quints t-shirt but our Snake Plissken and Karate Kid tees in a review of online gifts to buy for Xmas.

Each year Quint compiles a comprehensive and excellent guide to things online which would make someone smile this festive season, you can read the whole article HERE. We did and going on his recommendations we've ordered The Monster Squad on DVD and that rather excellent Alien Abduction lamp, (pictured above). Genius. So here's a big thanks from all the inmates here at the S.D.F.C. to Quint from AICN. Keep up the good work.

We're Now On Facebook

Long Time, No Hear

It's been far too long since our last entry but things here at the State Dept Of Fashion Corrections have been hectic, to say the least. Firstly a big thank you to all of our customers for their gracious feedback about our products, along with pics of them enjoying their new favourite t-shirts, keep them coming.

You'll be happy to hear we have a fresh batch of new designs sitting in Solitary right now awaiting release in the next few days, including a cracking tribute to a certain 70s cult movie featuring a street brawler and his pet orangutan. So if you haven't subscribed to our newsletter then keep checking our website for updates. We are also planning on re-arranging the site before 2007 bids us farewell, with a more interactive theme and gallery feature, which we have been threatening to do for some time now.

Also a few of the inmates have been indulging in the odd orange flavoured KitKat with their tea and coffee, they are surprisingly delicious and come highly recommended.


That Is All

Our Gremlins T-shirts

After watching Joe Dante's 80's classic creature feature Gremlins recently, we put our heads together and came up with the following two designs for tribute tees. They will both be uploaded onto our main site for sale shortly. Let us know what you think?

Need Your Help With Sports Tees

We are massive fans of sport here at the S.D.F.C so as a result we've decided to design and print a batch of t-shirts exclusively based upon the subject. But we need your help in one particular category - Soccer.

We have the initial design for these tees in place but we need suggestions, for example we want to know what your favourite soccer squad of all time is and why? You need to state the club, the year and obviously the reason why you've made your choice, (eg, Brazil World Cup Squad 1970). Who knows we might run with your suggestion and come up with a tee just for your wearing pleasure. Email your entries to info@bonaroo.co.uk
