Some are artists who do the occasional T-shirt and have the potential to snowball into a brand in 2019 if they want to, some are publications who are taking merch to a very serious level that is set to eclipse their decades old magazine, some are brands that have been around for a long while who have injected new energy into their T-shirts of late, and some are simply brands starting where most brands start… with the humble T-shirt. To be clear, not all of these are specifically T-shirt brands. So here we are, having spent a month digging through the internet, flicking through rails in stores, crawling through endless rabbit holes on Instagram, we’ve finalised this year’s list of 20 T-shirt brands you should know in 2019. Factor in the challenge to not repeat anyone featured in last year’s list of best T-shirt brands and that makes the situation even harder, knocking out the likes of Noah, Hidden Mangroves, AFFIX, 032c, Dime, and Better™, who have all had a very good year. Update: Read the 2020 list of 20 T-shirt brands you should know.Ģ0 might sound like a large number, but as soon as you start compiling a list like this, it becomes evident fast that it’s really not.
