Cottonable review
Thanks to MJ at cottonable.com for the nice comments about our shirt designs:
"Late night movies are fantastic things, filling the world with images of extraordinary monsters, epic fight scenes, and displays of heroics that you just can't find anywhere else. It's no wonder that films of this ilk have a fandom that stretches across the globe, smashing through language barriers with pure enthusiasm.
And for all those fans, there are t-shirts that let you share your hobby with the world. Shelf Life Clothing loves B-movies just as much as their fans do, and it shows in the quality of their designs. They have a nice range of movie poster tees, catching the eye with bright colors and bold vintage styling. But for me, the most exciting shirts are the ones that communicate the insider knowledge of a true fan in a fun way, like I Need To Score, which celebrates some of film's most inspiring composers. Sure, most people won't get the reference, but those that do would probably bond instantly over their uberfan status.
Of course, there's something even for people who aren't part of the underground movie scene. Check out their Rock Logo Mashup or Steroids baseball design for a look at the still-awesome work they do when working outside their comfort zone."

Samurai Poster Shirts
We've finally got our CHAMBARA POSTER shirt up on our website!
Since Sergio Leone lifted the plot of Akira Kurosawa's classic YOJIMBO to make his groundbreaking spaghetti western – A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS – we thought it would be cool to create a poster for an imaginary Kurosawa remake of Leone's masterpiece, THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY.
This original Shelf Life Clothing design is inspired by vintage samurai and spaghetti western movie posters, and imagines an all-star epic featuring Toshiro Mifune's "Sanjuro" character (The Good) crossing swords with "Zatoichi" himself, Shintaro Katsu (The Ugly), and Tatsuya Nakadai in "Sword of Doom" mode (The Bad).
Head over to our web site to check it out:
