A good T-shirt requires durability, comfort, and appeal; shirt.woot.com has all of those qualities and then some. With creative and unique tees, shirt.woot.com is a hidden jewel in the world of clothing.

The site is an excellent place to find gifts ~ even if they’re for you! The impressively large inventory is satisfying and anyone can find something for everyone. T-shirts supplied by American Apparel and designs from a plethora (or is it plefera?) of artisans, shirt.woot.com really puts the oomphff back in to the T-shirt business. From manly tees to funny tees to cute tees, this website is like the party platter of T-shirts. The only issue I had with it ~ and it’s tiny ~ is that, although it’s jam-packed with awesome T-shirts, it’s a little difficult to maneuver. It’s like a little treasure hunt, so if you’re into that kind of thing (like what makes shopping in thrift and consignment shops so much fun!) then the navigation is just right for you!

What makes this site truly unique are the events. Shirt.woot.com has different fun stuff going on monthly, weekly, and even daily. The events all revolve around introducing new T-shirts, eliminating the rejected T-shirts and recycling old favorites.

Every day a new shirt with an exclusive design is featured. Its time on the site is determined by its popularity and how well it sells. T-shirt democracy!!! Power to the people!

This is where the Day of Reckoning comes in: all of the unpopular and dejected tees are booted off the site after their featured day has passed. Shirts that are more popular stay longer on the site.

If you like surprises, then the mystery T-shirt event is your event. Another way shirt.woot.com shakes things up, these days, which occur approximately once a month, buyers who choose to get the mystery tee can purchase a random tee or three random tees according to a theme from past Woot features.

Another great interactive (and inspiring, for those of you with design ideas coursing through your veins!) event is the weekly Derby, where non-professional T-shirt designers are able to submit their work according to the theme suggested by the website. Viewers are then able to vote for their favorite and the top three designs are sold the following days. Winners receive a $1000.00 prize plus $2.00 for every T-shirt they sell.

Along with being creative, fun, and definitely not your run-of-the-mill clothing site, Woot offers shirts that are affordable and high quality. Shirts are regularly $15.00 and occasionally $6.60, $10.00 and $20.00 for three. Even better, there is no shipping fee required on standard orders ~ and just pay $5.00 for overnight delivery.

Overall shirt.woot.com is an amazing website for satisfying all your T-shirt desires. With cheap prices, good quality T-shirts, and good service, you can’t go wrong with shirt.woot.com. So let’s give a WOOT for shirt.woot.com!
