Pointless Topics

Nice one, I will have a look when we’re back next week. Obviously as the name suggests I’m a short-arse so may prove too long (need a large for my ever increasing middle-age belly), but at that price it’s well worth a punt.

Been rocking the AS Staple for a fair few years but they are maybe twice the price at best…

Same, I have been wearing them exclusively since Spanky first mentioned them. L shrink slightly to a perfect size for me.

Me and my boys have been to the skatepark over the holiday with their scooters but out of nowhere, middle one wanted to learn to skateboard so had a go and was hooked. That night he designed his own deck and we drew it up and I printed it yesterday onto a 7.5 deck I had in the loft from somewhere. I have a couple of spare setups so can make him a full one up. He’s gonna be stoked.

That looks ace. Printed it how, though?

Just vinyl, slap it on and trim. been doing that with every single board I have had for maybe 25+ years.

Can I get a quick summary of why Kirkland tshirts are worth their weight in wonga?

I’ve just invested in 6 Uniqlo cheap tshirts and they’re doing good so far.

I’ve still got several in regular rotation which must be around 5 years old. Not too discoloured.

Keep shape well, nice cut, thicker material than Uniqlo and longer length. I seem to remember Uniqlo ts being ok, but not something I’d be comfy skating in. These things are so cheap you can roll around in mud and throw it away and not be precious about it.

For someone who doesn’t skate anymore, I guess I don’t really have that problem. Thank you very much for the recommendation though. If my uniqlos fail me, Kirkland it is!

For the last 35 years of my life I’ve pretty much worn skate tshirts. I used to have travel bag loads and recently I made a good cull to get down to about 20 odd. I must say some of the longest lasting are Coda Skateboards at about 15 years and Polar’s OGs although the Polar gets real stinky if I start to sweat. The problem I’m finding is that skate tees vary so wildly in quality and fit, hence the switch to plain tees.

Continually updated Tshirts?

Well I’m not skating all the time, but I wear them daily, for over 10 years now I think. The only t shirts I wear.

Worst continually updated tshirt contributor ever.
