Print Brigade is a new brand out of Massachusetts. Their site is a bit scant on details about the brand but it seems to mostly be the brain child of designer Chris Piascik who is a part of the Alphabet Arm team. They have a number of designs that are all based around nice hand drawn type.

The ‘Fame, Fame, Fatal Fame‘ tee (inspired by the Morrissey lyric) I picked up is a 2 color print on a black American Apparel Tee. I’m not one to complain about tee prices (people gotta make money), but for the 22.00 price tag is carries I was sort of disappointed to find the tee has no special labeling of any kind and doesn’t even have the AA tag cut out.

The idea being that if you plan to charge a little more than your peers there should be some kind of reason right? The print itself also does nothing to set itself apart as it’s a pretty basic plastisol print with a fair amount of ‘hand’ (but overall not too bad as all the colors only ‘hit’ once). Another some what odd thing about my order was that while it did come with a bunch of freebies they were all freebies for Alphabet Arm. Free is free but it would have made more sense if at least something pertaining to Print Brigade was included.

That said I still love the tee because of the actual graphic and AA tees, relabeled or not, are obviously still pretty nice. They are a new brand and one would think as they grow so will it’s product.

VERDICT: 3 out of 5
