“Offering the finest t-shirts known to man, without man actually knowing them. Put simply for the simple - Mystery Shirts.”
Das Angebot von The Hypstery ist ein wenig durchgeknallt: Anhand einiger Fragen/Antworten bekommst du dort ein Shirt vorgeschlagen. Irrtümer werden kategorisch ausgeschlossen:
“If you don’t like your Hipstery tee you are clearly a fool. Look at it again, properly this time, lift it up, up higher, up to the light, open your tiny eyes and look at it! Put it on, model it in an impromptu fashion show for your loved ones. Like it now, simpleton?”
Hipstery – Die T-Shirt-Wundertüte

Okay, Überraschungspakete sind auch im T-Shirt-Geschäft nicht ganz neu, aber so konsequent wie bei Hipstery hab ich das noch nie gesehen. Während man bei der Wundertüte von A Better Tomorrow ziemlich fest damit rechnen kann, ein Shirt von A Better Tomorrow zu bekommen, hat man bei Hipstery keine Chance, die zur Verfügung stehenden Stücke vorher zu sichten.
Hingegen kann man beim Kauf ein kleines Quiz ausfüllen, anhand dessen Hipstery auswählt, welches Stück wohl den Besteller am meisten zufrieden stellt, auch eine Farbwahl ist möglich.
Ich glaube, ich werde das gleich mal machen. Zudem läuft zwischen dem 10.09. und dem 17.09. die Aktion “Versandkostenbefreiung für Deutschland“. Stay tuned …

Irgendwie ist da gerade ein Fehler auf der Seite. Wenn ich was in den Warenkorb legen will, kommt nur die Meldung, dass mein Warenkorb leer ist und ich erstmal etwas reinlegen soll. Ja, würde ich ja gerne. :-)

So, hab heut mein Shirt gekriegt. Leider die falsche Farbe. Wollte Orange, hab aber n dunkelgraues gekriegt. Design ist cool, wenn auch weitaus minimalistischer als mein üblicher Geschmack. Werds aber behalten, schon allein weil es vom Schnitt her großartig ist.

I said on Tuesday that I was going to run an interview with The Hipstery ‘later this week’ and bam, midnight on Friday, here’s an interview with Willem Von Tinkel, it’s like I’m a professional or something!How did you come up with the idea for the site?
Well the year was 1922 and the summer long and endless. I was taking a voyage on the HMS Belfrey to the Newfoundland. After a night of heavy liquid intoxication I entered a poker game with a burly mustached Russian, terribly nice chap, political views aside. A few hands and a mistimed pre-flop ‘all in’ later, I’d squandered the family fortune. Destitute and facing a life time of shunnage I jumped overboard. Luckily I slipped and fell to the deck below where I promptly fell unconscious. Good times.It’s a pretty strange idea though, do you really think anyone will pay 16eur for a t-shirt they’ve not seen?
Well the psychology of mystery is pretty well documented, from Kinder Eggs to Blind Dates, to Lost. So that part we’ll pass quickly over. There’s another thing we like to call it the opposability factor. The more one approach becomes standard and idealized the more opportunity there is for a few people to do the complete opposite and attract people disillusioned by that standard. We’re the counterpart to an endless striving for more choice, more options, more control. While other sites might offer 147 ways to skin a cat, we offer you one, our way.Plus our shirts are pretty epic.
Where do the shirts come from?
Simply from the best T-Shirt stores out there. Since our team has been in this business some time now designing, discussing, selling and wearing a lot of T-shirts we have quite a standard and fair impression what makes an extraordinary “Tee”. Usually, our T-Shirts aren’t available at the original source anymore. We would never sell a shirt we would not be proud to wear ourselves.Are you not just piggybacking on the hardwork of other t-shirt brands?
Preposterous. We got into this to help promote those brands, the brands we cherish. Every shirt we sell is accompanied with the logo and a paragraph of text about the site it originates from, we want to promote great art. We will add more great T-shirt stores, anyone interested should get in touch with us if they’re looking to spread their word and their shirts in Europe.Who do you see as your target customers?
That is tricky. It’s probably not the average cotton enthusiast that reads Hide Your Arms, you guys are fanatical about shirts and know where to find great ones already. I’d suspect our audience wants the joy of discovery without too much work in the process of that discovering. Or they just want an unusual experience and something novel. Hipstery shirts are also great gifts, with the pressure for picking something the receiver will love falls on our broad shoulders, not yours.What if I don’t like the shirt I get?
We are true believers in our tastes and technology – I am confident the algorithm our team developed works just perfectly. If, however, you don’t like what you get, you can you can invoke our 2000% satisfaction guarantee, which basically makes you twenty times as happy as a 100% guarantee, possibly maths is not a strongpoint of mine.Who is behind the site?
We’ve laid our souls bare on the Meet the Team page. Not even our parole officers know that much about us. It is a mystery we keep. Not even all of the team know who is on the team, that’s how secretive we are.And now you know! The Hipstery team have also been kind enough to provide us with a coupon code that will last for the next seven days and give you 25% off your order (saving you €4 per tee), that coupon code is hideyourpalms.
