Another day, another unique T-Shirt. After seeing the amazing Soundtrack T-Shirt becoming a reality the next big thing might be the T-Sketch T-Shirt that made it’s round all over the Internet might be another surprise hit among the techno fashion community.

The T-Sketch T-Shirt is a full member of Interactive Fashion as it provides you your personal white board on your chest. You can easily show off your personal message that can be changed any time as you might change your mind (hopefully not all the time).

Gadgets.co.uk is planing to bring the T-Sketch to the market. According to their (future) product page ‘Whatever you draw or write on the special section of the shirt will be converted into an illuminated message or design.’

You can change the flashing sequence to suit your personal preference and make this innovative garment truly individual.

This sounds like a new, innovative display technology for garments or the use of EL technology with some ‘magic’ writing on it?

The only thing we know is the T-Sketch runs on 2 x AAA batteries.

Pre-order is possible on their site but no hint when it will be available. The estimated price is £29.95 ($59.32) not too bad actually if I can really write my grocery list on my chest

The Soundtrack T-Shirt started out as an April Fool’s day joke but will become reality thanks to the power of the Consumer voice.

Point in case: on April 1st we (and many other blogs) posted about the Soundtrack T-Shirt from ThinkGeek which  was ‘created’ as an April Fool’s day joke. An attempt to order it ended on a page saying what it was: 1st of April, sorry we don’t ship this item.

But things changed over at ThinkGeek as they where overwhelmed with requests from all over the Internet so they decided it’s time to make the Soundtrack T-Shirt for real.

Here is the text from ThinkGeeks Website regarding the Soundtrack T-Shirt:
Important Note - Due to overwhelming popular demand we’re turning this April Fool’s product into a real product and it might take a little while.

It seems a lot of people are exited about having a personal sound track while walking through life.

We will keep an eye on ThinkGeek and report back once they start shipping or you sign up for an email notification on their site to be the first to have it.

This example shows the power of the consumer voice - without the huge response ThinkGeek might just have filed this idea as April Fool’s day joke.

Forget your iPod or whatever music player you have. Your T-Shirt will make the soundtrack for your life. The ultimate Wearable Audio solution.

ThinkGeek, famous for funky techno enabled T-Shirts offers the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt with an build in speaker right in front of your chest.

Unfortunately the remote control is not integrated into the shirt as we have seen by so many jackets using textile switches. This should have been no problem to integrate as well, I would think.

The shirt’s music system has a long list of pre-recorded sound tracks which will cover almost any live situation you get into. With a push of a button you can spice up your life with the right soundtrack like: Entrance Theme, Chase Theme, Romantic Theme, Sexy Time Theme, Victory Theme and many more.

An equal long list of sound effects covers: Cheering, Booing, Crying, Gunshots, Police Siren and more.

The remote allows the selection of 13 music themes and 11 sound effects. Music and sound effects fade up and down when choosing a new sound for a seamless life experience. The T-shirt’s sound system requires 4 AA batteries.

Maybe not a complete replacement for your iPod but interesting enough to have a closer look. Yeah, it’s April 1. So check out if this is for real by clicking over to ThinkGeeks online store and order one for just $39.99

My favorite T-Shirt brand Music and Sons added a new dimension to their Music T-Shirt range: consumer can vote on their site which of the many Music T-Shirt designs should make it to a final product into the online store.

Cool idea to be involved in the final product selection, a kind of interactivity and involvement more companies could offer as well.

My voting is out and I am checking now to see if I will find my favorite designs in the shop, need to stock up for the coming summer season.

The selection is not like the ID concept where you can mix and match colors and printing. I think it is better that way, who else than Italian fashion designer create the worlds most famous outfits. The only problem with this: I like them ALL.

The simple solution of the Music T-Shirts, integrating permanently the headphone cable in the T-Shirt with the audio connector in the pocket and the headphone connector near the neck takes out the acrobatic cable management many people perform before heading out on the street.

I keep looking around for something similar useful but haven’t found any better solution that is as convenient to manage the headphone cable.

The Music T-Shirts are made of high quality textile material, have a excellent cut for the the perfect fit and are finished by hand in Italy.

Click over to the voting site and select your favorite design. It might help to ask your friends voting for your design as only the winner will make it to the store. The ‘looser designs’ will drop out over time and replaced with new styles again up for voting.

Finally, Firebox.com has the Wi-Fi Detecting T-Shirt in stock and ready for ordering, that is - all sizes except S and XL which will be available again by February 19.

Too late for my Valentines gift but anyway, this über-hip-cool tee might not be my first choice for a Valentines gift after all - they don’t have it in red.

I do want to have the Wifi indicator T-Shirt of course. What better way is there to show I am completely connected, always on(line) and addicted to WiFi radiation.

If you are more concerned of possible, but not proven, negative health effects of radiation, you might still want to have the Wi-Fi Detecting T-Shirt. Why? It shows you if you are in a highly radiating area. Just keep on walking until no bar shows on your T-Shirt. Pretty smart idea

Whatever reason or motivation you need to pick up the WiFi T-Shirt, it’s ready to ship, costs just £19.95 (US$38.90) and can be ordered directly by Firebox.com

It’s February, the month of love and Valentine Day where gift giving is as important as love giving. ThinkGeek might have just the right Valentine’s Day gift for you, the Dynamic Love Life Shirt.

ThinkGeek calls it 8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt which they derived from computer games where your life is typically indicated in bar form. As more bars you have as healthier, stronger, smarter you are (in the game) to match the challenges of life (in Cyberworld).

The Dynamic Life Shirt uses hearts to indicate your love energy level. As closer you come to another person with the same shirts functionality your (Love) energy level increases. Respectively, as further away you are from your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, … less love energy will be available to master the (love) life.

The technology behind is simple yet effective, a transmitter box carried by one person persons detects the proximity of any Life Shirt and sends the distance to the animated heart decal. As shorter the distance as more hearts will light up.

To make the Life Shirt work you need at least one transmitter and one 8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt. Place the tranmitter anywhere, on another person or your beloved car for examble and the hearts on the Shirt will light up in full strength as closer you come to the object of your affection.

The animated heart decal is removable (with hook and loop fasteners) for washing. The battery pack is concealed in a small pocket sewn inside the shirt. The 8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt runs for hours off 3x AAA Batteries but the actual time will depend on how long and how close you are with your significant other.

Each shirt costs $ 24.99. The transmitter pack is not yet available, neither the cost of it. Check out ThinkGeek’s online shop for more details.

We hope that all components are in stock and in time for the big Valentine Day gift / hug giving.

Wi-Fi Detecting T-Shirt’s are not new on the block but they do get a bit better looking all time. Our last introduction of Thinkgeek’s Wi-Fi Detecting T-Shirt was already a good looking T-Shirt, yeah, it is a bit geeky to wear them but hey - life should be fun as well.

You get always people talking with you when wearing such shirt, it’s not something everyone has and animated T-Shirts are an eye catcher.

Explaining that behind the animation is actually a ‘deeper meaning’ makes it even more interesting to others.

In case you want to have the convenient WiFi sniffing without reaching for your laptop, you have the option and go for one of those WiFi detecting bags we recently posted about.

The Wi-Fi Detecting T-Shirt sniffs out the wireless signals working in the 802.11b or 802.11g range and shows them in bar form in an stylized laptop image on the front of the T-Shirt.

Nice idea that combines form and function.

The Wi-Fi Detecting T-Shirt will be available for just £20.- ($39.-) from the end of January by firebox.com

T-Shirts with integrated animations are not new anymore and available in many styles. Judging on the wide variety of designs and the constant additions, I would assume those T-shirts have their fans.

T-Groove™ is the latest edition to those T-Qualizer tees, a funky psychedelic design that adds motion to your T-Shirt and gives dancing a new meaning.

The T-Groove™ has a small built-in power unit with sound sensor which is discreetly hidden in the hem at the base of the shirt.

The sound frequencies are converted into light on the EL panel, making the girl dance to the beat of the music while you move to the groove. Certainly a more animated design as the bar type T-Qualizer tee.

After a hectic night on the dance-floor, you can detach the battery pack and give the t-shirt a wash. The EL panel is durable enough to cope with a bit of gentle scrubbing.

The T-Groove™ is perfect for gigs, raves, parties, festivals, clubbing or just jumping about to your favorite tunes at home.

This awesome sound sensitive music T-Shirt will get your moves to the groove attention.

The T-Groove™ is made from 100% cotton and is available in small, large and extra large. To get the dancing girl in action you need to load the T-Groove with 4 x AAA batteries.

You can order your T-Groove™ by electricplanet.co.uk for $ 39.60
