T-Post is a super cool Swedish t-shirt subscription box that tells stories through words and wearable art. The result is a new twist on the concept of a magazine. With each new shirt comes a new story. According to their site:
A T-post story can be an in depth interview with someone we think is interesting (like Ricky Powell or Eric HAZE), or a stories about how we never really get our hands dirty anymore, or how the only way to become truly cool is by hanging out in nature, where nobody can see you. In all our stories we tend to openly reflect on what’s happening around us in a time when everything is moving so fast that we hardly ever take the time to.
The t-shirt designs are all unique collaborations with artists, designers, and brands. Their site mentions past collaborations with "Alife and Staple, as well as organizations like TEDx and Fatta Man."
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

T-Post Subscription Box Review of T-Shirt Design #141
Ralph Level Tee in Mens Small - Retail Value $39.01 (33 EURO—note that exchange rates can vary slightly)
How amazing is this tee? "Ralph Level" is a turn of phrase coined by Kanye West in a fashion documentary interview. It's a nod to designer Ralph Lauren, whose wild rags-to-riches success rapper-turned-fashion-designer West deeply admires. If you were around in the 90s, there's a good chance you recognize the design of this tee—it's the familiar red, white, and navy of classic Ralph Lauren Polo t-shirts. Even the font looks like the Ralph Lauren logo. Inside the shirt, there's an article detailing Ralph Lauren's life and how he's become such an influencer.
The T-Post twists are there of course, including the Swedish flag and the "It's a story" tagline. Personally, I love the fit of the shirt. It's super soft with just a touch of stretch. I like men's tees, as I think they fit my shoulders well, but the brand does offer women's sizes, too.
The Verdict: This tee isn't necessarily my style, but it's just so darn clever (and decadently pop culture savvy) that I'll definitely hang on to it to wear around the house or out on errands. Heck, it might make the perfect Memorial Day picnic-wear! T-Post! For the cost, the thoughtful product that I got is 100% worth it. I love that the designs from this subscription are art pieces as well as wearables, and the fact that there's a narrative literally printed inside the shirt gives it a context that adds to the value. Plus the packaging and the vibe of the subscription itself? So cool!!!! I'm sold.
