New: American Trilogy tees @ Pushbutton Industries

It takes something to get me to write about tees.  Don’t get me wrong–I’ve posted about some great tees here in the past, and will no doubt do so in the future.  I guess I just look for that “something extra,” whatever it may be, that makes them stand out from the crowd.  Designer Pushbutton Skolnick of Pushbutton Industries (”Quality Fashions for Post-Apocalyptic Lifestyles”) caught my eye the other day with her new “American Trilogy” set of tees, which features strong, beautiful artwork depicting three giants of American music:  Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Willie Nelson.

I was able to chat briefly with Push last night and asked what had motivated her to create these shirts, and to choose these three artists in particular.  Her response was to the point:  “Just because country music sucks now doesn’t mean it always did or it always has to.  Most of my designs are centered around music in some way.”

The American Trilogy tees are priced at L$125 for the set, which includes both tucked and untucked shirts, styled and textured for both cowboys and cowgirls, so convenience and mistake-avoidance factors are high.  Available only in black–Johnny would approve.  The fabric texture is subtly speckled and shaded to suggest a slightly nubby finish without distracting from the striking artwork.  Each tee is further embellished on the back with the name of the front subject in simple, bold lettering.

Go and grab these now at Pushbutton Industries (Envy 174, 115, 22)!
