Tapestries
Description: Christmas time: mistletoe and wine, dreadful songs drive you out of your mind… but man, people will so insist you have to enjoy it. If you absolutely can't get out of wearing a Christmas jumper, make sure it's this one: holiday cheer up top, with the real message more subtly underneath. Because we both know it's the most wonderful time of the year... from January to November!
Description: Feel the power of the badminton: stare at this design and it will make your eyes hurt! (Although, to be fair, so will a shuttlecock in the eye.) Wear this when playing, and it will make you invincible! Wear it when not playing, and it will make you irresistible! There is nothing the magic power of badminton cannot do!
Description: 1984 has been and gone, but there are plenty of people in the world who feel like they're still living there. Be like Winston Smith and make a small subversive statement with this cool t-shirt. (And if you don't know what we're talking about, where have you been hiding? Go out and read the book - it's called 1984!)
Description: This one goes out to all the people on the other side of the glass partition. We know that producers, mixers and sound engineers make music just as much as singers and musicians do. So, whether you remember the glory days of two-inch tape, or you do everything on your MacBook Pro... if you know your talkback from your crosstalk, if you know when to insert and when to send, then you can wear this t-shirt with pride. You rock :-)
Description: There are lots of jokes about drummers, but we're not going to repeat them here. Despite what people say, we believe that drummers are real musicians too. And so, for the drummer in your life, here's the perfect tshirt. (And yes, drummers: if the drummer in your life is you, then go ahead and get it for yourself!)
Description: 1984 has been and gone, but there are plenty of people in the world who feel like they're still living there. Be like Winston Smith and make a small subversive statement with this cool t-shirt. (And if you don't know what we're talking about, where have you been hiding? Go out and read the book - it's called 1984!)
Description: For all our German-speaking customers, Hallo! Wie geht's? For all our other customers, welcome to sophisticated slacking. Everyone knows about the mañana culture, but even those hardworking Germans do a bit of procrastination sometimes. Wahrscheinlich Morgen has a great sound, and it looks great too. What does it mean? Probably tomorrow...
Description: Hey, average is nothing to be ashamed of! Average is just fine. Average is - well, it's not exactly good, but it certainly isn't bad! If great is a big ask and excellent's hard work, if outstanding just stands out too much and extraordinary is frankly unlikely, then let's just stick with average. After all, that's where all the normal people hang out. [Also available in a darker version, for pale-coloured shirts.]
Description: What can we say about this design? When we came up with the idea it tickled us, but we weren't sure. After all, it didn't really seem to make sense. But then we thought, what the heck? Art doesn't make sense. Humour doesn't make sense. Quantum physics sure as heck doesn't make sense. Under the circumstances, perhaps we're expecting too much from this little feller. So here he is. We hope you like him...
Description: Here at MBiBtYB, we don't just love cool t-shirts. We love music as well! We've noticed there's a real shortage of designs for musicians to show off what they love doing. So here's a shirt for all you trombonists: 208 bars of rest, with the slogan "bone idle". So now you can draw attention to your music credentials, even when you're "resting".
Description: I bet you thought that, here at MBiBtYB, we were too cool to do a Christmas jumper? Well, to be honest, so did we. But then we got to thinking about how much some of you love a Christmas jumper, and we changed our minds. So here it is – hand-knitted from pure Norwegian reindeer wool, with a twist of our trademark deadpan humour. Compliments of the season!
Description: Never underestimate the power of Stupid, for Stupid is both creative and persistent. Stupid comes in many forms, but it's not to be taken lightly. If you think something's foolproof, you're underestimating fools: they'll try something you would never dream of, and they'll keep right on trying even when it's obviously making things worse. All you can do is keep reminding yourself: Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid!
Description: Nobody's perfect... not even me. The perfect gift for the know-it-all in your life, or that person who spends rather too long wherever there's a mirror... Alternatively, it's also perfect for you: the sensible, down-to-earth sort who knows your own limitations, but is still playful enough to make a joke of it. If you prefer it on a white or pale background, we offer a navy version of the same design. Because we like you to look, y'know... perfect. (Or close as.)
