"...and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"

Advantages: Very funny in places
Disadvantages: The title takes ages to say

...far away from the reality they?re trying to describe, this very same is the whole point here. Never having worked in advertising or in film, I have no idea if any of the situations mentioned throughout the story could actually happen for real. I suspect that any of them could, but that it would have to be a strange chain of events that caused all of them to happen in as short a space of time as the period covered my this novel. And this is what makes ?The Book, the Film, the T-Shirt? as funny and as much fun as it is. The story follows the characters as they bound from disaster to disaster and although you end up reading with a sense of amazement and disbelief, this is frequently interrupted by the sound of laughter. More often than not, your own. The style the novel is written in helps this along. Beaumont has worked away from...

Review of Rosie Nieper T-Shirts

5.11 t-shirt - Hot stuff, but not too cool.

Advantages: Keeps you warm, dries quickly .
Disadvantages: Uncomforable seams, can be too warm .

...The Tactical Series undergear from 5.11 is designed to be worn under body armour, to keep the wearer cool, dry and comfortable. I purchased a top to use as a base layer when wearing a rucksack. Most of the 5.11 Tactical Series undergear comes in what they call 'muscle mapping' style i.e. tight. As I don't really want a t-shirt 'mapping' my beer-belly, I went for the crew loose fit version, to leave a bit more to the imagination. # 5.11 claim these will keep you cool when it is hot and warm when it is cold - I have found this t-shirt to keep me warm when it is cold and roasting hot when it is warm! In warm or hot weather, I just have to take it off as it is too hot, but in cool/cold weather, it is a brilliant warm base layer. I often just use this top with another loose normal t-shirt over it instead of taking a coat. # 5.11 claim...

Review of Crew 5.11 Loose Fit T-Shirt

A brilliant shirt for a brilliant club!

Advantages: A new look, and better than ever
Disadvantages: Price: still on the pricey side

...Liverpool have introduced a newish shirt for 2008 until 2010 until they introduce a new strip. The shirt hasn't changed much, but the slight changes that have been made, make a big overall difference. Look: There have been some changes to the kit since 2007, these include: The collar: The collar has changed from polo shirt look to a sort of V neck shape. The inside of the shirt has a new pattern instead of plain red it is now red and white square blocks with the Adidas logo on. How much and where can I buy them? There are many places where you can buy the shirts, for example you local sports shop. However I would recommend visiting the Liverpool football club (lfc) website and viewing all the shops products aswell, because they have many football strips that may appeal to you depending on how much your willing to spend, such as...

Review of Liverpool Home Shirt 2008/10

Good looking shirt!

Advantages: great price looks and comfort
Disadvantages: last seasons shirt (but little difference to the new one)

...don't make many football shirts as they tend to focus on the whole on rugby teams and rugby shirts. But I therefore think this shirt is much better as I prefer the way rugby shirts are made and fit. Most football shirts are made by Nike or Adidas and I think this being made by Canterbury (the badge with three birds) makes it much different and more unique. The main shirt sponsor which appears on the middle which is OKI and is a company which produces printers (so hopefully the club owns a few of these). And of course so that you are aware of this it says "printing solutions" underneath the big Oki sign. On the back you can have the choice of having both a number and a name or a player of your choice or customise your own shirt with your favourite number and your name. f course this comes as an extra added cost to the actual shirt...

Review of Portsmouth Home Football Shirt

More than just shirts...

Advantages: easy to use website, good quality clothes
Disadvantages: may not be in everybody's price range

...Charles Tyrwhitt was a brand of shirt maker I first came across in the mid 1990s, when they started advertising in The Times, and I remember sending off for a catalogue. Unfortunately my budget back then didn't run to Charles Tyrwhitt shirts - now they form a very substantial part of my wardrobe - and as I travel a lot for business I am always needing business shirts. It was in 2004 that I rediscovered them, this time online under the guise of www.ctshirts.co.uk, when I needed a lot of business shirts. I have always been somewhat sceptical about buying clothes online - I have had some purchases on Haburi which I have never worn because they just didn't suit me when I put them on. Other shops have claimed to have stock and then conceded they don't - with Charles Tyrwhitt such a fear is allayed. Having a "businessman" figure - i.e. my...

Release the French in your bear!

Advantages: cute, great gift idea
Disadvantages: /

...I remember having my room decorated as a child - I had a pink carpet with teddy bears on it. My border was covered in pictures of teddy bears, and my mam even cut out the leftover carpet so I could have furry teddies stuck on my wall! I have always been a fan of teddies, in any form, and when the Bear Factory (now Build A Bear Workshop) opened up in the metrocentre, I was ecstatic! A few of my friends liked the store too and my neighbour, who is much younger than I, still does. When she bought a tshirt from the shop to dress her bear in for her holiday, she showed me straight away (yes, I still take interest in these things!). When I saw it, it was one of the most adorable little t shirts I had ever seen! Since the neighbour was going away to France, she had chosen a 'Paris' t shirt. I set myself out to give this little item a thorough...

Review of Bear Factory Paris T-shirt

Get your Harry Potter T shirts here

Advantages: Efficient and cheap
Disadvantages: None

...First of all I should warn you that this isn't strictly an op about Amazon itself, but a guide to using the Amazon.com site to find some truly great merchandise. Forgive the off-topic op, therefore, as I was just so excited to find this and there was no other more suitable category. So here's my little guide on how to use Amazon to get hold of what will be THE key accessory of the year - the Harry Potter t-shirt. That's 'now', as in before they're commercially available here and probably much cheaper. I am wearing my brand new Gryffindor crest shirt as I write, it arrived this morning and I am very chuffed indeed. So far, three people have asked me where I got it and the woman in Pret a Manger was especially impressed. I am so excited I'm now on the verge of buying more - a dangerous thing for my bank account as there's quite a range...

Fitted for a Princess!

Advantages: nice design, okay price
Disadvantages: /

...I remember when the Bear Factory first hit the Metrocentre in Newcastle. I was ecstatic! I'd always loved teddy bears as a child and had shelves and hammocs full of them. I fell head over heels in love with the Bear Factory store and owned a number of bears! And now, my sister has adopted this love for the store from me. The Bear Factory allows you to stuff your own teddy (anything from bears to cats to zebras), and then dress them in a variety of fashionable clothes and accessories. One of the latest buys I got for my sister was the Disney princess t shirt. The Bear Factory do a lot of 'labels', including Hello Kitty, Hannah Montanna and of course their fabulous Disney range. This Disney Princess t shirt is one of the most adorable labelled items they sell. The t shirt itself is a gorgeous lilac pink colour on the body. It has white...

Review of Bear Factory Disney Princess T-shirt

A good variation of a traditional shirt

Advantages: The collar, symmetry
Disadvantages: quite thick, not very durable

...I am not actually a Newcastle fan, but I moved there to go to uni a few years ago. Living near the ground I decided to watch them a few times and managed to get my hands on this shirt. Here's what I found Comfort This shirt is very comfortable to wear around the house as well as to play football in. It is not the lightest shirt in the world but still does not weigh you down or overheat you if you are playing football. Style The shirt has the traditional black and white stripes which go well with the Adidas black and white stripes down the sleeve. There is a black collar which looks very smart, and the manufacturer logo, club badge and sponsor are all central. Durability. I have owned this shirt since mid-2007 and it has lasted quite well. There is some wear-and-tear and the sponsor logo is beginning to peel but I can still wear it to...
