Happy shopping and if you’re feeling generous, here’s my referral link: http://www.threadless.com/?streetteam=alisterscott
I thought they were just customers? You get store credit for photos submitted.
Oh really? It's just that the quality of the photos seem consistent and I see the same people popping up a lot.
I'm sure they have some models (probably company employees) but they do encourage tshirt owners to submit photos for display. You get $1.50 -$15.00 credit per photo.
Oh, fair enough.
Nope. You get a few bucks for posing with their shirts, they have to fulfill specific criteria whence why the 'uniform' appearance eg: Must show face, be X size, and have the shirt-design showing. I've done it a couple times, and if your photo gets chosen on frontpage you get a nice bonus.
But yeah, there's one particular male who looks like he has a bad case of ezcema and is in seemingly half their designs.
and if your photo gets chosen on frontpage you get a nice bonus.
How much do they give you for that?
Why should they get better looking models? The regular customer doesn't have model looks. I think they're trying to say that anyone can wear their clothes regardless of their look or body shape. A refreshing change if you ask me. Some of their shirts are a little over the top but some of the other ones are great. I'm still waiting on my first order from them to see the quality, sizing etc. to determine if I continue to buy from them.
Agreed completely, I got a shirt with a rainbow on the shoulder, looking for it to see how threadless are
If you ordered it from their last sale, it should be arriving soon. On Thursday I received my order from their last sale when the tees were $12, haven't got the ones I ordered when they reduced the price to $10 yet though. Mind you, I think this sale is going to be a shorter one than the last one.
It's terrible marketing. The reason fashion labels employ good looking models is so they can say 'hey, if you buy our stuff, you'll look like this!'
I get it if you have 'ordinary' people but some of them aren't exactly ordinary. There's this one guy whom I always see who looks like his face has been burnt.
Threadless is ridiculously profitable. All their designs are community provided and chosen, they don't have to pay for models. All they do is host the site and manage the shirt-printing. Their shirts cost $4 to print and sell for $20 on average (not on sale).
Yeah, Mr Ezcema

I wonder why they use him on all their shirts though.
They do pay well for designs:
"Each designer selected receives $2,000 in cash, a $500 gift certificate (which they may trade in for $200 in cash), as well as an additional $500 for every reprint."
They should get better fabric, like they used to. The batch I purchased last month was nowhere near the fabric quality that I received a year or two ago. They seem a lot thinner.
There are several different types of fabric brands they use.
Somewhere it is possible to see the brand but I dont remember where it is.
You can email them to ask which particular brand of T-Shirt they use to print your Tee. Previously, the most common brands Threadless Tee were printed on were "American Apparel" and "Fruit of the Loom".
However, I think Threadless now manufactures its own Tees.
I agree… Their t shirt quality ranges between low to average. Wish the fabric was thicker.
Agree, that's what i think their $20 shirt quality. Kmart and Target has shirt with better fabric for about $10. However I really like Threadless's design.
Noticed you can submit your own designs. My wife is an artist so shes going to give it a go! +++ for an awesome link..
$2000 cash is pretty awesome
Aren't you all a little old to still be wearing graphic tshirts?
How do you know how old I am?
I did not know there was an age limit
Going byt that mentality, why do you call yourself Joey and not Joe?
I bought about a dozen the last time around.
The shirts are quite thin.
$10 is a reasonable price (say $13-$15 shipped for a thin shirt with an interesting design).
Dont think I'll be a repeat customer unless I see a truly amazing design.
Hmmm… is this working for anyone? I'm still seeing $18, $15, etc…
Yeh same, is it meant to be all tees or just a selected few?
EDIT: Just checked their facebook page. Apparently it is all tees starting at 10am US time. Not 12:01am NSW time as the submitter had assumed.
Sorry people.
Converted time is Tuesday 6th September at 1am AEST
Now on sale, plus $6 shipping if you spend $75
Just ordered 3, thanks!
All Tees seem to be $10. Just purchased 10 tshirts with $6 shipping :). Thanks
They should really invest in some better looking models.
