The (Cool) TShirt Project
The Tshirt Project is a Philippine-based store that offers fresh and unique concepts on printed tshirts carried –out through the various brands under its arm. It is owned and operated by Spoofs Ltd., Inc , the same company that owns Spoofs (the brand).
The company started as a real school project back when the owners were still in college. Its first brand, Spoofs, has been around since 1991 and has pretty much been the only retail brand the company offered for a quite long time. The second brand, Branded, wouldn’t come into the picture until 2005; about 13 years after the company’s incorporation in 1992.
With the stage pretty much set, the company started releasing the brands that would eventually be the staples of “The Tshirt Project”. Branded, the second of its brands, debuted in mid 2005 and is now 4 outlets strong. It was followed by the release of Customized (early 2006) and Filipino Company Making Everything or FCME (mid 2006). Three more brands, Metro Adobo, Malisya, and Shirts for a Cause, come out by late 2006. Blanko, Designed Sealed and Delivered, Ang Bagong Barong as well as Volume One come out only this year 2007.
OUR BRANDS
In this section, we aim to introduce these brands and, hopefully, help YOU pick the best shirt for your lifestyle. Read on!
Spoofs
Tag Hirap, FedUp, Bolo. These designs, plus a few hundred others, make up the 15 year old parody-based brand that is Spoofs. A mall regular and a ‘balikbayan’ favorite, Spoofs drew its popularity by tickling the Filipinos’ funny bones through hilarious renditions of logos of popular designer brands, movies, and TV shows.
Branded
One of the very few brands in the country today that sells officially licensed merchandise, Branded offers a very wide range of shirts to choose from. We’ve got music-related shirts, statement shirts, brand shirts, and more. With selections of Pinoy cult brands like White rabbit candy and Sarao Jeepneys to novelty icons like Nora Aunor; Branded can cater to conformists and eccentrics alike.
Customized
Internalize, spell-out your thoughts, and wear it! Customized offers blank shirts, felt-made letters, and iron-on services to customers who would like to keep their ideals closer to their hearts.
FCME
Imagine an oral medicine for sin (Salvation Syrup) and a beer -“pulutan” cocktail mix (Linamnam Beer). These are just some of the products from the Filipino Company Making Everything. Everything that isn’t realistically workable, that is. These products and their funny little details can only be worn by people witty enough to get them. Get it?
Metro Adobo
This is a limited edition brand that reflects the day to day routines of Filipinos. What they see, how they think, what they like…
The first collection played around with small businesses’ names and associated them with familiar faces, very typical of the Filipino entrepreneur.
Shirts for a Cause
Let people know how you feel about current issues. Let them be aware of your conviction. Wear these and stand for what you really believe in.
MaliS’ya
Want to know just how imaginative people can get? Wear these. (Innocence not required)
Sounds Family
Everyday lines, everyday jokes… everyday wear.
Designed, Sealed and Delivered
Subscribe to this unique concept and get a surprise special limited edition shirt every month delivered right to your doorstep! Strictly by subscription only, DSD shirts are not available for retail anywhere!
Ang Bagong Barong
Designs are inspired by woven patterns from traditional clothing. Our modernized versions are…“Maikli ang manggas, walang kwelyo, at walang biyak sa likod.”
Blanko
Quality blank shirts for your DIY projects at very affordable prices!
Volume One
Which is a high-end brand concept wherein our design to shirt ratio will be maintained at 1:1. Meaning, we will be producing only one shirt per design. A customer who buys a Volume One shirt is guaranteed to be the only one in the world to have that particular design.
