Superhero T-shirts Descend on NY

Hey there fellow New Yorkers,

Alex Nivel here, and we’d like to give a shout out to nopooh, a minimalist graphic tee design firm that this week’s spotlight on NY in Words.

Nopooh is the product of the fated collaboration between graphic designer and expert hand screener Rob Tanner and fashion photographer Mark Babushkin. Nopooh only prints a limited number of t-shirts for each design, which is why I was especially thrilled to get a free tee from their new line of vintage superhero tees.

First off, I didn’t request a specific t-shirt, but they sent me the Tee with Rex Dexter, the only superhero from their retro line that I recognized, and one of my favorite comic book heroes. For those of you who aren’t obsessed with comic books or are younger than 70, Rex Dexter was the son of a couple that flew to Mars in a spaceship, crashed there, and spent the next sixty years repairing the space ship. Rex returned to earth in the year 2000, just in time to help the US military repel an enemy invasion.

I was really pleased with the quality of the shirt – apparently they’re all printed on American Apparel tees – so overall this was a great experience! Got a free tee, with one of my favorite oldie superheroes on it, and it’s a pretty high quality t-shirt, so I’m happy to give these guys a positive review and recommend this tee to fashion forward dudes out there.

Cheers,
Alex Nivel
