Donald Trump T-Shirt Have Taken Over the Wildwood Boardwalk

Donald Trump T-Shirt Have Taken Over the Wildwood Boardwalk

Not a lot has changed on the boards since I did my first one of these in 2012. I probably wouldn't have believed you four years ago if you told me that I'd still be doing this in 2016. I definitely wouldn't have believed you if you told me Donald Trump T-Shirt would be the hottest item on boardwalk shirts this year.



But it's true. I spoke with five different shop owners during a trip to the Wildwood boardwalk this week. None of them wanted to be identified - perhaps because of the massive copyright infringement the Wildwood boardwalk t-shirt business thrives on, or maybe they were just shy - but they all agreed: They expect to sell a ton of Donald Trump merchandise this summer.

How a sweaty t-shirt gives clues about human disgust reactions

How a sweaty t-shirt gives clues about human disgust reactions

Psychologists at the University of Sussex have found that a person's core disgust response is reduced if the source is within their own social group.



In the study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team from the University of Sussex and colleagues from the University of St Andrews compared reactions of students to sweaty t-shirts bearing a logo from their own university as well as one from a separate institution.

The results showed that the reaction to 'core disgust' was reduced when students were asked to smell a sweaty t-shirt bearing their own university's logo.

Dr John Drury, Reader in Social Psychology in the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex, explained: "This reduction in the response to core disgust from a stimulant from within a person's own social group is significant because it helps us to understand how group behaviour becomes possible. Essentially, it frees people to cooperate with each other, and to work together effectively."

The psychologists conducted two experiments. In the first, students from the University of Sussex were shown t-shirts bearing their own university's logo as well as t-shirts bearing the logo of Brighton University. In the second experiment students from the University of St Andrews had to smell a sweaty t-shirt that either had a St Andrews logo, a Dundee University logo (a local separate university, equivalent to Brighton University in the first study) or no logo.

How Global Warming Is Already Changing the Fashion Industry

How Global Warming Is Already Changing the Fashion Industry

Talking to Co.Design, a Patagonia spokesperson called climate change "a serious crisis" for its business. And while retailers like J.Crew, H&M, and Nordstrom decline to comment, the numbers speak for themselves. Uniqlo, H&M, and Gap all announced major seasonal shortfalls this year, and Macy's is actually cutting more than 4,500 jobs following slumpish holiday sales, blaming 80% of its revenue shortcomings on cold-weather goods like jackets, hats, and scarves that just didn't sell.

Tiny Holes in T-Shirts

Tiny Holes in T-Shirts

There is a universally perplexing wardrobe mystery occurring in countries across the world. This issue has divided people for years as to the source of the problem.

The issue I'm referring to is the mysterious little holes that appear in every single tee shirt you own.

People around the world are tearing their hair out asking "WHY?????"

It is a proven fact (minor research done with a core group of my friends) that the more you love the tee shirt, the more likely it is to have a crop of the infuriating belly holes spring forth.

For years I thought I was alone in this strange phenomenon but I was comforted to discover that this wardrobe scourge is widespread and equally frustrating across the globe. Possibly the Universe.

You may not think this topic is hard hitting news, but when you've replaced you favourite tee twice, only to have it occur again it is certainly worthy of deep investigation

A quick survey on my Facebook page suggested many people thought it was all about the cross body handbag, but then other sufferers of this professed to carrying backpacks, or shoulder bags. Myth busted.

Other people swear it's moths, but are moths really that OCD that they all only want to eat that one little delectable spot that possibly smells deliciously of belly button pheromones?

People suggested their washing machines were too rough, again OCD white goods are a believable option, or perhaps their cat was doing something jerky all over their tees whilst it sat in an unloved heap on the floor.

When I googled ''why do my tee shirts''_''

What Is Ring Spun Cotton? The difference between: 30 singles & 20 singles

What Is Ring Spun Cotton? The difference between: 30 singles & 20 singles

Ring spun cotton is smoother and longer yarn compared to open end yarn. In addition, ring spun yarn goes through a spinning process that softens and straightens each fiber. The end result of ring spun is a more refined fiber. Ring spun combed yarn, is where the cotton fibers are spun and then combed to remove impurities and enhance the luxurious hand feel.



When someone says '20 singles' or '30 singles' ring spun it refers to the gauge (thickness) of the yarn in the t-shirts. The higher the number, the better-quality and softer feel of the shirt. 18 singles = cheap, 20 singles = a step up in quality & hand feel especially if it is 20 singles ring spun (style 2100 from Spectra USA), 30 singles (see Spectra USA list below) = the bomb!



The best way to remember, think of bedsheets: the higher the thread count = the better quality.



Most cheap shirts are made from 18 singles OE = open end yarn. Low yarn count = coarse thick yarn = cheap t-shirt. Therefore any higher yarn count and add ring spun, you will have a superior quality t-shirt with a refined hand. Spectra USA only offers 20 singles as its most economical option and 95% of the line offered is ring spun and combed cotton. Our 20 singles ring spun heavy weight t-shirt is the premium option for the old school t-shirt.



One of the biggest advantages of 30 singles ring spun combed t-shirts, besides the fact that they are very comfortable, is it is the optimal base fabric for digital printing (DTG), screen printing, heat transfers and even sublimation on the blends (52/48 cotton/poly).



Spectra USA offers many styles that are manufactured with 30 singles premium ring spun yarn: men's, ladies, juniors and kids.

! New Jersey veteran denied entry to Six Flags park over T-shirt supporting Marines receives apology

A New Jersey veteran who was denied entry into Six Flags Great Adventure because of his T-shirt supporting fellow Marines has reportedly received an apology from the park's president.



Mario Alejandro, 33, whose shirt featuring an M-16 rifle and reading "Keep Calm and Return Fire" drew national attention and controversy after he wore it to the park with his wife and kids last week, told NJ.com that he received a phone call from the park's president on Saturday.



The humbling call followed Alejandro's public outrage over his treatment by the park's security officials who deemed his T-shirt - which supports Recon Marines and their families - offensive.
