Iconic tee shirts and light sabers? Count me in.

Bzzzzzz: travis@founditemclothing.com.

I’m a sucker for big, sci-fi action movies and the man vs. machine Terminator franchise is, without doubt, one of my personal faves. Naturally, then, I’m pretty stoked for the next, highly-anticipated installment, Terminator Salvation, which is scheduled to drop in 2009. In theory, it will be the first of a three-picture story arc. I’ve embedded the newest trailer to surface on the web below and IMHO, I think it looks rather tits:

Christian Bale’s annoying cookie monster voiceover aside, what do you think of this clip?

More importantly, what do you think of this awesome tee I found online at eBay?

I’ll be back: travis@founditemclothing.com.

Earlier this month, I told you about a contest that FIC was co-sponsoring along with Color Overload, which incidentally is a highly-trafficked t-blog that has recently unveiled fantastic, animal-themed designs at its webstore.

I’ve just been notified by Andy, the editor of Thunderfrogs, an influential U.K.-based tee shirt blog and the organizer of said competition, that the lucky winners have been determined.

As you’ll learn in his post, two entrants were selected at random. Their prize? The FIC tee of their choice.

Tim G., of San Francisco has chosen the Caduceus tee; meanwhile, Aeric W. of Japan has elected to receive the Mumford top, fine selections both. I commend the victors for their good taste. I’ve embedded pics of both below, so you can see for yourself.

Why are these people so exuberant?

They just found out about FIC’s new Facebook page!!!

Come on in for the big win: travis@founditemclothing.com.

Maybe you overlooked the outsized rectangular block embedded on our homepage, but there’s a big development here at FIC — we have 6 new shirts available for purchase!

In a Found Item first, we’ve hooked up with a trio of accomplished apparel designers whose style we dig — Poketo, Option G and No Star Clothing — to bring you some fresh threads as the holiday season nears. Option G and No Star kinda trend towards modern icons and witty pastiches; the Poketo approach employs hand-drawn illustrations and is by nature, a bit cuter and less scripted. There are two sides to every tee, yes?

In September, an exhaustive process of trial and error a field trip to Las Vegas yielded these designs as part of a valiant effort to expand our offerings for loyal customers (that’s you…).

In all seriousness, I urge you to buy these shirts now because they won’t last I will be fired if this experiment in web retailing goes terribly astray.

Obviously, we’re fishing here for some honest feedback here. Do you like these shirts? Will you buy them? If not, why not? Do you come to FIC for movie-centric shirts, or are you open to the possibility that our brand might feature other, non-celluloid-related garments? Are you still reading this? If so, why?

For the record, I’m partial to Loose Lips and Skull Forest (viewed below).
