Decclo Summer 2011!

We've been working really hard since the end of 2010 to regularly bring you tasty new designs. Decclo.com is the only place you'll find Merton tshirts chosen by Merton himself and our exclusive Surfers Healing tshirts of which 50% of the proceeds benefit Surfers Healing.

We're also putting together our first official Decclo summer line which will launch next month. It's going to be a sunshiny smorgasbord of color inspired by the Californian summertime. Part of our preparations for this grand event is that we're clearing out a LOT of our current designs for $8 and we've thrown in free shipping on all orders. It's a really good time to stock up! Hurry though because once they're gone they're gone.

We also want to thank everyone for supporting us this far whether you've submitted designs, purchased shirts, tweeted about us, wore our shirt proudly etc. We appreciate it all more than you know!

If you own a Decclo shirt we'd really love to see you wearing it - post it on our facebook wall for all to see! 

Quick Note:For T-shirt Design Enthusiasts

Quick Note:

From my experience, it helps to have knowledge and inspiration when learning anything...especially when design is involved.
I have searched through so many websites, blogs and volumes of literature to become inspired. Recently I came across this book, Threads Not Dead. This book is a compilation of industry professionals, their experiences and advice for crushing the apparel design world. For all who design or aspire to be designers, this is a great resource. Check it out!


 

Contest: Design for Merton!

Last year I discovered a youtube personality that made me laugh so hard I thought there was something wrong with me. The ingredients to such hilarity - ChatRoulette, a piano, a green hoodie, and spontaneous lyrical genius. Those are some of the main ingredients of PianoChatImprov: Merton.

Here's a little something he did for The Guinness Book of Records:
