iPoor for those too poor for an iPod

We are now SOLD OUT!

Gone, zip, nada, finito! Sorry!

The iPoor T-Shirt was featured in:


Engadget China:

They say that it’s looks cool and fashionable, for those who don’t want to spend $500 for a IPod Nano, you should consider this economic choice.

They also said that iPoor does not need battery and electricity and you don’t need to worry about whether it works or not.

It’s a good product and they urge people to buy one for themselves.

and Domain Magazine of the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia

Made of 100% Cotton at about 180grams weightage. Does shrink about 1% in the wash

Some additional notes:
1) As the T-shirt is 100% cotton, it does shrink in the wash. After washing a few shirts, we tried them on and here are the results.

If you are 159cm, weight 50kg, waist 27″ then the S is comfortable and slightly baggy.

If you are 184cm, 80kg, with waist 32-33″ and the L fits just right, but it will not be baggy grunge style.

If you are 192cm, 100kg, and 36″ waist you will need to go with the XL. Again the fit just right.

Anyone larger will not be able to fit the XL size.

2) Finally please wash all the t-shirts before you wear them, especially the black. The black T-shirt’s color DOES run. So please soak for a bit before you wash it in the washing machine!
