Chosen by your chosen

November 18, 2010 By: jessicazafra Category: Clothing, Design, Men, Rugby 29 Comments →

A couple of weeks ago I asked you to choose from among the designs you yourselves sent in for the official Jake Letts, Letts Hug It Out fan club T-shirt. As expected, chaos ensued. So we asked Jake himself to pick the design and he demurred, adding that he’d be happy with whatever you pick, but he did express a preference for this.

So this is it, Jakelettes. Now we need to figure out how many T-shirts to order. We can only have one color per batch, so cream it is, but we will ask the manufacturer to make different sizes because I personally hate wearing shirts that are huge.

How many shirts are you ordering, and in what size? Please post in Comments. We’ll accept orders until Tuesday, 23 November 2010.

When we know how many shirts to order, we will figure out the cost per piece.

And then, if it is alright with brewhuh23 and with you, I’d like to ask her to coordinate with the Jakelettes for payments etc. But that comes later.

Attention: Jakelettes

We asked you to send in your designs for the official Jake Letts, Letts Hug It Out fan club T-shirt. This is what you’ve sent so far.

You like? If you don’t, can you do better? Send your designs to saffron.safin@gmail.com. When all the Jakelettes have agreed on the look, we’ll start taking orders. We know a t-shirt maker who’ll accept small volumes.

How many Jakelettes are there? Could you raise your hands in Comments so we know how many shirts to order? (Obviously the more shirts, the cheaper the cost per piece.)

You can’t order the shirts from me, I am not the store.
You all have to decide on one design, in one color combination, and say how many shirts in total. Then I direct you to the manufacturer. Get a grip.

The lives of books in the digital age

At the Delft University of Technology library:

From the exhibition Layers by Richard Hutten:

Recycling is good. Reminds me of my plan, after Kramer on Seinfeld, to take all the coffee table books I have no intention of reading and turn them into a coffee table.

Today in earrings

Things I didn’t know were available at SM Department Store:


Betsey Johnson earrings at 70 percent off. Obviously not these ones, since I’ve bought them, but there’s more in the ladies’ section.

Gatsby himself would’ve bought these. A set for every room.

Coming in November from Penguin Classics: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books with Art Deco-ish covers designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, who also designed Penguin’s beautiful Clothbound Classics.

Jay Gatsby would’ve bought these books—a set for every room. Then he would’ve had ties made in these patterns.
