I quite often get emails/ txts from mates telling me they have spotted our Echidna T Shirts in various random spots around the world. IAs well as people spotting them in Aussie (obviously), I saw about 4 echidna tees at the Beerfest in Germany this year, and they have been spotted in the states, france, spain, thailand and much more. However the most remote spotting so far came in from an email from a mate just before christmas who said

“You’re world famous in Galapagos, or at least your product is…was hiking up a extinct volcanoe on a isolated island in the Galapagos and spotted a dude coming down hill wearing one of your BrisVegas T Shirts. Nice product placement”

So there you go, an extinct volcanoe in the galapagos islands… if anyone spots one of our Ausralian T Shirts in a more random location - send a pic to info@echidnaclothing.com and if we are feeling nice we might just send you a free Echidna T Shirt!

A few people have asked me recent times how safe and reliable it is to buy Echidna T Shirts Online… So I thought I would offer a bit of background on how we operate and what safeguards are in place….

Money Back Guarantee
Echidna Clothing offers a no questions asked money back guarantee. Therefore if for whatever reason you are not happy with your Aussie T Shirts we will either refund you your money or exchange it for another.

Size Exchange
An extension of our money back guarantee, if your T Shirt is not a perfect fit, just let us know and we will exchange it for one that does fit - no questions asked. This makes Echidna Tees great Aussie Gifts, because if they dont fit the recipient perfectly - they just need to let us know and we will send them the correct size!!

Our Credit Card payments are processed via Paypal, the worlds leading online payment system. This means that your card details are completeley safe - in fact we never even see them, they are all handled by the computer.

Also, we do whatever we can to keep our customers happy, so if you have a problem - we will fix it, that is how we operate!

A lot of people have been asking me lately about our range of Australian Clothing, and what ethical considerations we have made when choosing suppliers. Essentially people want to know if our shirts have been made in sweatshops…

Anyway, in answer to that we’re Proud to say…..! No Way!!!!!! We make our clothing in a pretty simple fashion - we simply buy blank T Shirts, and then screen print them with our designs. Our clothing supplier is a member of the FAIR WEAR FOUNDATION. The FWF exists to promote fair labour conditions in the garment industry world wide; this means that our supplier has undersigned FWF’s Code of Labour practices, and committed itself to monitor the factories of its suppliers. The Fair Wear Foundation verifies that the Code of Labour Practices is actually implemented and respected at the factories. Leading international producers in the field of fashion have also joined FWF.

Therefore, you can rest assured if you are buying one of our Aussie T Shirts, either for yourself, or as an Aussie Gift for a mate, you are buying a product that has been ethically produced & has not been anywhere near a sweatshop

Ok I am a bit late in uploading this to the blog, but we have added 4 new designs to our range of Australian clothing. You can check these out on the site as of now… they are as follows:

- Hawkey Is My Homeboy
This design is a tribute to a man who set a world record for skulling a yard of beer, and also found time to govern australia. Who says men cant multi task?

- “Straight to the Pool Room” and “Tell Him Hes Dreaming”
Well, its probably pretty obvious what my favorite movie is if you take a bit of time to look at this site… But needless to say, “Straight To The Pool Room”, and “Tell Him Hes Dreaming” in my mind are two of the best aussie quotes ever. It never ceases to amaze me how many people come up and talk to me in public when I have been wearing these Australian T Shirts.

Goon - The Drink of Champions
Until I went travelling and did my O.E, I assumed teenagers / uni students in all countries spent their formative years drinking nasty, nasty wine from a plastic bladder , and then not being able to remember it. It appears this is not the case, and Goon, like a Marsupial, is a uniquely Australian product. With this in mind, Goon The Drink Of Champions, is the perfect Aussie T Shirt to remind you of your misspent youth.

As mentioned in my previous post, all these designs were really popular when we released them at Londons toast festival. They have all been popular in the lead up to Christmas also, with lots of loveley people choosing them as the perfect Aussie Gifts for their friends and loved ones!

Following on from a good day at the Anzac Sports day, we decided to rent a display stall at this years London Toast Festival. Toast is a Australian /New Zealand Food, Wine & Music festival held annually in London. The day was a big success, and we sold loads of Aussie T Shirts which was pretty good… It was also the first time anyone in the public had seen some of our new designs (Hawkey, Pool Room, Goon, & Tell Him He’s Dreaming T Shirts) It wasn’t all work though, managed to shut up shop in time to grab a few aussie beers and watch Jimmy Barnes belt out a pretty good live set to end the day.

We even stuck around for the next day of the festival, which was the New Zealand themed day, and we found that our castle themed tshirts were a hit with the Kiwis as well! (who would have thought you could have sold Australian t shirts to the kiwis??).
