Partying hard, screen print hard, t-shirt wearing hard and riding even harder; Welcome to All Things Stupid.
October screen print T-shirts and vests again, for one of our favourite photographers and film makers, Thomas Knights, As part of his RED HOT project to promote awareness around issues affecting the red haired gentlemen among us…an issue dear to our ginger English hearts here at October.
We often urge you to visit the websites we feature with our Screen Print T-shirts, but in this case, if you’re a lover of the moving and static image, you actually must take a trip around Thomas’s site — we could wax lyrical here, but we’ll leave his pictures to paint a thousand words….
Thomas Knights began his career as a music producer and performer. He now has screen print T shirts to add to the portfolio.
He quickly realised he also had a talent behind the camera. Inspired by underground visionaries like James Bidgood and Pierre Gilles, and the greats, like Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, Guy Bourdin and David LaChapelle, he has a dark, cinematic yet pop approach to photography, film and music.
His many music videos for the likes of Marina And The Diamonds, Willy Moon, Karin Park and Maya Jane Coles have amassed millions of views online, and his photography has been featured in Marie Claire, InStyle, Dazed And Confused and Vogue Italia.
Last year Thomas was chosen by Rankin to feature in an exhibition showcasing emerging fashion photographers, and in collaboration with celebrated fashion photographer Tim Bret-Day and queen of nightlife Jodie Harsh, he produced a multidimensional exhibition featuring one hundred of London’s nightlife characters. The film was showcased exclusively on LOVE Magazine. He has also shot a Swarovski campaign with the singer Karin Park and his fashion film Tigress Reign was showcased at the Berlin Fashion Film Festival.
This year has already seen Thomas shoot a major Malibu campaign in Cyprus, 2 big budget music videos for Maya Jane Coles (and also featuring as a collaborator on her album Comfort) and the explosion of his first solo exhibition RED HOT, which has already amassed 30,000 re-blogs on Tumblr alone and has a growing Facebook and twitter following. He also announced his latest music venture Pandora Drive set for release at the end of the year. The dark disco record will also act as a creative vehicle for Thomas to explore his film and photography.
For all you lanky Herberts out there, tired of flashing your bum crack off to innocent bystanders.
the same soft feel as the classic American Apparel 2001 100% cotton fine jersey classic, but what’s the technical term…it’s…longer.
You know the American Apparel look, like you’ve just regained consciousness from under a pile of coats at a bad party.
So get yourself all draped up, and remember not to stand in any strong winds.
Also see other American Apparel T shirts by October.
American Apparel Fine Jersey – Short Sleeve T-Shirt
AA make some big claims about this fine jersey short sleeve T-shirt – we haven’t got access to their secret stats, but we’d have a tenner on the fact that this is their best selling T, and rightly so. Fine jersey again, we all like that, and so it’ll print like a dream. To some, the 2001 is the definitive range T-shirt, LA or nothing.
Fine Jersey – Long Sleeve T-shirt
There was a time when for most people good meant heavy – those bad times are behind us. This long sleeve jersey T-shirt fabric is fine…and that’s just fine by us. Prints up a treat, lets the summer breeze blow straight through you.
Please note there is a £15 delivery surcharge as these garments come direct from LA.
Fine Jersey – Short Sleeve Leisure Shirt
Take your leisure time seriously, with this 70’s inspired 100% fine jersey 4 button shirt. It’s got a front pocket that you’ll never use, but that looks good none the less, but what’s the best bit…yes you at the back… yeah you got it, the structured collar that hangs together after a load of washes. This is what puts the American Apparel polo at the top of its class…that and the colour range.
I think it’s about time I shared something real with you. At which point you might need to hit the delete button, and I’d understand that – as old school T-shirt printers we’re not allowed to admit to having feelings, not supposed to back down in a fight…you can either do a hundred hour week and print ten thousand T-s, or you’re of no use to your country, and will be sent straight back to Blighty. And yet we’re a strange mix. We’re also as likely to be found wondering is fuchsia is the new cerise; looking at colours in different lights and saying ‘I’m just not quite feeling that Jeremy, are you?’
So I’ll tell you a story if you’re still with me, if you’re not watching a TV programme about people watching TV programmes, or some other enormous media piss take, and you can make of it what you will.
The whole section of the site is, well, slightly loosely, about how to start your own clothing brand…
about the importance of the story behind your collection, which garments to choose, inks, labels, hem tabs, swing tickets and generally, how to get a girlfriend. We’ve been waffling through our beards on such world defining topics for nigh on twenty five years, man and boy, through several Prime Ministers, a collective variety of marriages, the odd very nasty winter, and a knee replacement…and on occasion, we know what we’re on about. And apart from the time in 2000 when the computers updated, and we thought we’d spelt ‘compliant’ as ‘complaint’ on a few thousand shirts, emotionally, it’s been relatively easy. But that has recently changed.
In the distant past, before we hid behind other people’s brands, we had our own…back when we all had long hair and lied about the size of the waves we’d ridden; but years ago and still PD, pre dood, when ‘rad’ was short for radiator. We did ok, maybe fifty UK accounts and about half that overseas, in unlikely places, like Malta. But fate is a funny old bastard, and just when we thought we’d never go back into that water, I met this bloke – I say ‘I’ and will now remain in the first person, because this is all my fault.
It was a regular day, North London, Swiss Cottage (there’s nothing further from the Alps) some hotel and me, and a man about my age, I guess. We drank coffee, wondered why people with faces like smacked arses would want to work in hospitality, shot the breeze, talked about kids…he was relieved by one of those vapour things, while I stepped outside with the Duke of Marlborough – you know how it is. On my return we got down to business. He was music industry through and through, London – LA, twenty five years…
‘Our jobs are quite the same’ he said ‘In many ways’ I nodded, crunching a shit biscuit, and wondering if I’d taken the plastic wrapper off.
He had an idea for a brand, close to an idea I had for a brand,
I had a name he liked.
He knew a lot of people, who knew a lot of people.
I had a factory that made nice stuff.
He wanted to work with something that ‘Didn’t answer back’
And although I didn’t know it, I still had something to say, a story to tell, in pictures.
But even that wasn’t it, not the final decider – it was the moment when we both knew we’d been at times in our lives up the very same creek, without a paddle…those parallel pasts that require only the raising of an eyebrow for those who have lived them, to know they speak the same language. It happens in a second, but it’s a big second.
So I headed north, and left it till Leicester Forest East before I called him and said
‘Shall we do this thing or what, this brand?’ and he said,
‘Yes’.
Which brings me to the breaking of the bread, the spilling of the beans, the thing to be shared…
in the bottom corner of my antique lap top, beside the baffling symbols, that tell you you’re unprotected and about to go on standby, next to something that looks like an orange handbag, it says 02:48.
This is bad news. I have a heavy cold, an 8.30 meeting, and a beautiful woman upstairs who thinks I’m insane…but they are not what keeps me awake, it’s something quite different you see…I’m scared.
Pretty good at telling you how to launch your brand I can be (why am I writing like Yoda), but when it comes to exposing the under garments of my own graphic design – I can’t sleep; I keep changing my mind…
‘That’s too contrived’ a voice says, in my head,
‘Too already done’…
‘Now it’s too rustic’ it says,
‘Not nearly enough polish, where’s the dash man, the cut and the thrust?’…
‘The label’s too street’…
‘Now it’s up its own arse’…
‘The hem tab’s too big and the swinger too thin’
‘Just black and white for the print…or a touch of red…and when in the name of sweet Jesus…will you ever get to bed’
It hurts, and what’s more, if it fails…no, no, no…let’s not look at that – but there is a red or a black sweet to pull out of the lucky bag, a good thing to be had…if you call me in a few short hours to discuss your brand…I’ll know how you feel again — and it’s been quite a while.
We have always loved David Hockney paintings, but David Hockney T shirts?
It’s not just David Hockney’s painting techniques, his swimming pools; portraits of friends; his open exploration of gay love etc, but now a t shirt, based on perhaps less widely seen (unless you happened to attend) stage designs for the Royal Court Theatre, La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera and Glyndebourne. It is for the latter that October came in, to all over print limited edition David Hockney T-shirt, to commemorate his set designs at Glyndebourne, specifically for The Rake’s Progress….’a fable’.
The story centres around decline and fall of Tom Rakewell (Rakes Progress Fable),
who deserts his woman, Anne Trulove, and heads off for some fun in London with a bloke called Nick Shadow, who turns out to be the Devil. After several sticky moments, all concocted by the devious Mr Shadow, Tom ends up in Bedlam, a hospital for the ‘insane’ in the City of London, not good.
So the moral of the story is: “For idle hearts and hands and minds, the Devil finds a work to do.” Which is why we keep screen printing.
(this T-shirt print was very limited edition and just to commemorate the Rakes Progress…see if you can find one!)
Kippers in Slippers. We’re an independent brand from Leicester, We started by a group of mates who all grew up in this neck of the woods.
“We decided to use October to get our T shirt Printing done. As a midlands based t shirt printing and embroidery service specialising in fashion were ideal for the job.
Every Saturday morning, from the ages of 11 to 18, we would meet up to spend our shrapnel on the latest clobber.
As time went by and we got a little taller and a little hairier, we began to tire of the same old brands from the same old shops.
The High Street routine had run its course. We started to look towards independent outlets to satisfy our clothing needs and soon realised that our favourite brands were often the ones who drew inspiration from their local area (see Abandon Ship/P&Co).
It soon became clear that our hometown didn’t have a brand like this, a brand that was looking to take the local vibe nationwide.
T shirt design and screen printing was just what this young group of layabouts vowed to fill this void
After maxing out our overdrafts on all the necessities, and quite a few un-necessitates, Kippers In Slippers was born.
Using local artists, t shirt printingprofessionals and models, Kippers In Slippers aims to deliver high quality, simplistic products that carry a strong association with where they come from.
Just because you’re from a small pond it doesn’t mean you cant be a big fish. Join the crew,
kippersinslippers.co.uk
Some of the other products include:
The Little Fish- Purple
Fresh off the line, the Little Fish design makes up one fourth of the KippersinSlippers ‘Back to Basics’ range.
These Tees are all about minimalistic colouring and quirky designs; finished off in this instance with the KiS logo.
The T-shirt is 100% organic cotton (washing instructions included with product) and the design has been etched on with a grainy yet durable water based ink. The labels are also hand crafted with a washed effect, located at the back of the neck and the bottom of the Tee. The end result is a worn, more vintage look; differentiating the Tee from pristine high street products.
How do they fit?
The Back to Basics range are fitted, snug around the arms with a classic waist line length. So, if you like your t-shirts baggy, go up a size, it’s as simple as that!
Size Wise
Here at KiS, we know people are very rarely just a small, medium or large and because we want you to get your mitts on the best fitting Tee possible, our products are sold on scale;
XS-S- 34 inch chest S-M- 34-36 inch chest M-L- 36-38 inch chest L-XL- 38+ inch chest
We operate a seven day return policy, so if you think you’d feel more comfortable in a different size, we’ll change it out for you. Not a problem chaps!
This T-Shirt was conceived, designed and printed in the midlands. Our brand strives to operate at a local level; using local designers and printers whilst listening to you, the local people.
The Little Fish Beanies
The Little Fish beanies come in one size and two colours- heather burgundy or heather grey. They are a snug fit, so you don’t get that dreaded sag unlike other beanies and the logo is stitched on in white cotton making for a premium finish. Kipp that ‘ead warm until the summer comes!
October Screen Printing
There are many ways to get an image onto a garment — screen printing of course, but also digital printing, litho transfers, and screen printed transfers…they are all available from October.
Digital is fine, but with size restrictions (14 x 16”), and available from most online providers…it is what it is, just another digital print with no options to add a variety of textures, mixes of inks, brighter colours, and the personal touch that you will need to make your brand stand apart from the others.
Litho and screen printed transfers…offering a nice high detail, but not our favourite as they provide a slightly papery finish, and again, how can we make you different by perhaps having the texture of a solvent based ink, next to a lovely soft water based print, with a sneaky touch of 3D high build…maybe even a gloss, a metallic, or foil?
Screen printing and t shirt printing is really what we’re about – there are a lot of decisions for us to make around artwork films, screen meshes and tensions, we’ll talk you through that, but your main choice is what ink to use…
Solvent based inks — the most common screen printing ink, they will provide strong vibrant colours, and because they sit slightly more on top of the garment, create a more clean and graphic line. Because they are more on the surface of the T-shirt or sweatshirt though, they will create more texture, ideal for a more old school American feel, but if your feeling a bit more All Saints than Stussy, you may want to consider…
Water based inks — standard water based inks are more penetrative, so they will feel a part of the garment for a softer screen printed feel. Because they are right inside the garment, when washed the fabric fibres will come through the ink creating a more vintage look, which you may love, or not love…we can show you examples. They are used for screen printing darker colours onto lighter garments, but where you want lighter colours onto darker garments, you will need
Discharge Inks — discharge inks are almost like screen printing a bleach, they’re not really, but just to give you the idea…they will remove the dye of the garment, and replace it with a pigment, as if by magic when at high temperature in a tunnel dryer. Just the job for getting bright colours onto dark garments, while keeping the texture nice and soft.
The last reason for this blog is a half baked excuse to feature a luxuriant and ‘Well done mate, nice work’ beard. It’s about the ribbed side panels, the V rib insert at the neck, the back neck taping, tear-off neck labelling and ridiculously soft fabric in the only, truly, heavy weight sweat and hood available (crew neck sweat also available without stripes).
It’s 80% Cotton 20% Polyester, and a technically, but it feels much heavier, 330g/m2 brush back feece with peach finish.
That…is what it’s all about.
Sizes: S, M, L, XL
(It is a bloody lovely beard though isn’t it? Ok ok, just saying..)
Every now and then we stand back from the growl of the T shirt printing monster, slow down, light our pipes, stroke our beards, and take a stroll through the October archives, to re-read the more interesting chapters of the Printer’s almanac. This week, amongst an old pair of printing tweeds and next to a bag of gunpowder, we discovered a print we did a while back for our much admired friends, Comme des Garcons menswear.
This print was an all over large flower design, in a nice red water based ink onto a white T.
It had to be a water based ink as once printed, it was then vacuum compressed into a 6″ cube prior to sale, obviously…a nice retail presentation idea, but more importantly, a great way to get two hundred T-shirts into your brief case prior to going on a world tour – drop them in water three hours prior to cocktails, the plastic dissolves, then hang on the alfresco piazza to dry, creating a crease free T for the modern Mr Bond. Easy.
Water Based inks
These penetrate the fabric more than the plastisol inks and create a much softer feel. Ideal for printing darker inks onto lighter coloured garments. Also useful for larger area prints where texture is important. Often the fashion label favourite, where softness onto lighter fabrics is the key.

No one takes me seriously. I stand in parks shouting ‘Buffy (you vicious little flea bitten shit)’….but the dog doesn’t come. I lurk by night in dimly lit alcoves, in all my most swollen and velvet finery, but no one buys me a drink. I could run into a bar naked and shout ‘Free beer and BJ’s at the Big Dong Diner’ and there would be no reaction. No doors are opened, no capes cast across puddles, no palms greased or wheels oiled, and no one, but no one, considers my collection ‘a brand’
And why not? I’ve followed all the rules. I have a discernible story behind the graphics that depicts the heart and soul of the label; I’ve been clever with my prints, spreading them across a selection of T-s, hoods, sweats and polos, with crafty colour changes, to make my range so much bigger than it really is…ssshhh…we don’t actually do that. I have a lovely website, and look at all my friends on Facebook, hurrah, everybody says they like me – but somehow, the bigger boys won’t take me seriously…they won’t let me join the leather clad, look a bit ill and smoke loads of fags club, in the playground behind the bike sheds…the Fashion Gang,
Perhaps I need to grow a bigger back woodsman’s beard, and spend more time in Clerkenwell, in a checked shirt and drop crotch ball room pantaloons. No hold on, I already do that, no, I need to…er, I need to, I really need to… AHA! Bugger me backwards in a flat peaked snap back, I have it! I need to expand the range to be taken more seriously, and then they’ll just have to let me in.
Jackets? Well yes of course, but tricky, expensive (and I’m still paying for Bernard’s stag do), there will be minimums and a big outlay…Nocandoo.
Denim? Ha, I’d love to, but we’ll discuss the ‘denim ceiling’ in another chapter, that Everest, that trip to the moon, that sell my house, my Grandma and Guinea pig, to fund a potential hell ride straight back to the job centre.
Trainers? Need to make loads…I could customise a few I suppose, but after three days in the dog house and a poke in the eye, due to the discovery of a small section of graffiti overspray on the sofa, I’ll pass.
Then there is but one answer, both in and on our head…the affordable, can be done in small quantities, desirable, easily embroiderable (that’s a word, ok!) the gorgeous and colourful, hat – which we will split into two sections.
The baseball cap – for many years, before your time, and known only to the old, grizzly, and likely to wee on their slippers brigade (not me), they were a pretty functional bit of kit, for dungaree’d farmers in Nebraska, and baseball players in sunny places, with meshed backs for sweaty bonces. There are also people so old, that then remember golfers making them slightly cool with that most desirable attachment, the ‘pro style peak’…lord knows, we all wanted one of those. But for most of you, with birth dates that coincide with my release from rehab, it’s all about New Era, Obey, Supreme, and someone doing a project somewhere called ‘Norse’. I’m not entirely sure what the project is about…snow probably, pine trees and saunas, that sort of thing.
Anyway, our industry has switched onto this, and so provides flat peak snap backs for your delight and delectation, all ready to be embroidered. To make them relevant they usually give them product names like the ‘Gang’ or the ‘Groove’ – because that’s how insanely down with the kids the hat industry is, that’s their M.O….and indeed, how they roll (dear Jesus, don’t forget me).
So, you buy a few in, slap an embroidery on the front, festoon them all over your web site and hey bloody presto, you’re a bit more of a brand, right?
Well, um…wrong. You will look like you’re ringing a doorbell and about to say, ‘Did you order a deep filled Hawaiian, with cheesy crust?’ (sounds painful, and a bit whiffy).
If you’re going to do it, only my ever so humble view, but you’ve got to do it right. Silk linings, printed under peaks, printed tape, labels, contrast eyelets, contrast snapbacks, contrast mesh and a contrast crown stud….it’s about contrast. Da kids will settle for nothing less. It’s what they see when they wander into Size, even into Foot Locker (what a great name for a shop), so why won’t they expect it from you, with 3D embroidery standing half a mile off the front, as standard, and a flashing light on top?
Which means you have to bespoke, which often means a minimum of 144, and the smash of the piggy bank as you raid it for the last of your loose change.
And when they’re made, will they sell?
How can I put this?
Without being hated…
No.
Well thanks for that Paul; you’ve been an absolute font of knowledge and all round national treasure as ever. The above is all pointless, and in getting this far I’ve missed three dances on Strictly, and an episode of ‘I’m so fat I can’t wipe my own bum,’ presented by Davina. So I’d better explain, and this is just my theory, so it’s probably cobblers. Man walks into a bar; sees someone wearing same T as he has on; gets depressed and goes to the toilets for a cry. It’s the last thing you want, a social smash of the tram variety. But: Man walks into bar; sees someone wearing a New Era 5950 very similar to his own; feels like he’s come to the right shop and orders a jaunty cocktail, with nibbles. T-s must be different, but there is massive brand loyalty to hats and trainers, so what’s the likelihood of you breaking that brand monopoly? Nil. Probably.
But let me redeem myself. Bespoke hats are more than worth doing as a marketing tool. If you have a spare G and want to make a lovely brand carrier, come on in, the water’s lovely…slap it on some superstar DJ beep and whistle merchant, spinning plastic on a podium, and it’s a proper winner, often better than any other form of advertising – but do it with dough that you don’t need to see back in a hurry. That’s all I’m saying.
I said I’d split this into two sections didn’t I? But I’m writing this lying down and I think I might be developing a bed sore, so I’ll be brief.
BEANIES.
Yes, good idea – cheap, cheerful, and unlike caps, you can embroider them here and still make them look as good as anything any of the major brands have to offer. And that’s all I care about, looking as good as the main players.
That’s not entirely true; I care about one more thing. My Granddad. He was never without a hat – a nice thick felt trilby in the winter, a Homburg on occasion. And for the summer of course the obligatory straw hat, in which cream suited, he would stand in the brown waters of the North Sea, tie firmly in place and braces attached in perfect parallel, scanning the horizon at all times for possible invasion. Through the cigar smoke, that steely blue eye was ever ready, to fix his pen knife to the wooden handle of my spade and charge screaming into the waves.
He would most likely have dropped his raspberry mivvy and had a heart attack, but not before he trampled a few day trippers from Rotherham, who would also have been fully hatted up. In those days all Englishmen were, but there was one word present that Crappy Dappy and Dipshit in their flat peaks can’t spell…glamour…a hat used to mean glamour…how can we float that gorgeous shiny boat again? Discuss.

929 clothing is a label taking you from wearing ordinary fabric to wearing life-inspired words.
The label was formed out of the understanding of the power behind words- Words kills, words bring to life.
We discovered everyone needs a little word of inspiration to carry them through their day therefore our goal in 929 is to turn people into a “message” for others to read.
To achieve this, we decided to load so much words of wisdom in few lines on pieces of fabric- you might never know whose life you’ll be saving, or the destiny you’ll be turning around by merely appearing trendy.”
With our collections, we are simply building on the foundation already laid by the wise saying -“you are the words you hear”, by going further to say “you are the words you wear”.
