The Threadless Book Review

A few weeks ago to our surprise, our friends over at Harris & Wilson had offered to send us a copy of their latest editorial, The Threadless Book. With being such a huge admirer of t-shirt design I was honoured to accept!

Celebrating Threadless’s 10th anniversary, the book is packed full of 224 pages of inspiring tee designs and interviews.

The Review

After opening up my package, I instantly thought that this book looks absolutely stunning, and I have only just seen the front cover! The vector artwork shows an array of characters and illustrations featured on various t-shirts that can be acquired over at Threadless.

The Threadless Book – Front Cover

Whilst I flicked through the pages at first I couldn’t believe how high quality the illustrations were and was taken away with the amount of work that has been put in the layout and typography.

Featuring 100s of different designers I was amazed to see one of my favourite illustrators tokidoki had been featured with one of my favourite designs.

As you progress through the book, it feels like you are travelling through a t-shirt time machine, passing through a decade worth of inspiration. Here are a select few of my favourite tee designs over the past 10 years of threadless, taken straight from this fantastic book!

  1. I’m jealous you were able to get the Threadless book for free! That being said, it looks really cool and high quality. Gotta think about getting it for the coffee table.
