Looking for a creative T-shirt?

Check out threadless.com

My attention was drawn to threadless because of the hilarious T-shirt shown on the picture below:
This T-shirt, unfortunately, has long sold out, but there are many other creative, funny, cynical, funky ... ones for you to choose from on the website now. I'm sure you can find one that suits your mood the best.

The business model of threadless is different from other customerized T-shirt sites like zazzle.com. Zazzle.com prints out T-shirt first and then sell them on the website. However, Threadless publishes pattern designs instead of real T-shirts on its website and invites users to vote for their favorite patterns. Only when the votes reach certain number will the patterns be printed out on T-shirts, which will be sold online.

Threadless works with artists from all over the world and has built a loyal community of consumers.
Besides, knowing the preference of potential buyers, threadless can easily decide on the quantity of production, which is why its T-shirts are 20-50% cheaper than those on zazzle.com.
