Echidna Clothing is all about wearing an aussie t shirt on your sleeve, and doing so with a bit of style as well.

It all began when a bloke stuck in a freezing London winter wanted an Australia t shirt to remind him of home. After a few cold ones to fuel the creative process, and many hours hunched over the drawing board, Echidna Clothing was born.

It doesn’t matter if you are at the beach, in the bush or travelling around the globe… wearing Australian t shirts shows the world where you’re from, and keeps you looking good at the same time.

At Echidna, we take Australian icons like Bonnie Doon, Brisvegas, The Southern Cross, and others – and then turn these into retro Aussie t shirts so you can show the world where you’re from.

We are so confident in that you will be stoked with your new Australian T Shirts, we offer a no questions asked, money back guarantee on all items!!

Make sure you let all your mates know about our Australia T Shirts, and remember Echidna Tees are perfect aussie gift for your friends and family overseas.

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.

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!!

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!

When launching a new product, most brands will have a swanky product launch with lots of press at a flash hotel, But thats not really what we’re about, so I thought how could I launch Echidna Clothing in true blue style…

Then I came up with a foolproof plan…. Launch On Australia Day, In London, by handing out cold beers to thirsty Aussies roaming the streets in search of a party.

I set up an Aussie T Shirt Stall on Shepherds Bush Green, across the road from Londons famous Walkabout with 2 Industrial Sized Bins filled with Ice & Beers. ( I had just been made redundant from my job working in marketing for a brewery - So this was the last of my “staff allowance”)

Anyway, to cut a long story short - handing out free beers (the ultimate aussie gifts) to backpackers in a London park went down pretty well, and before we knew it had about 60 people partying at the Echidna Stall in the park. Loads of people bought Australian T Shirts off me and things were going well (or so I thought).

Like all product launches this one had to come to an end as well. However unlike most product launches - This one finished in me being apprehend by the local coppers and being done for providing liquor without a license, and for unlawful street vending!!! Not the way I wanted to finish the day - but in terms of a launch, was a great way to get the word out about Echidna and our new range of Australian Clothing.

Anyway, there are 2 morals to this story….
1. Free Beer is the best way of advertising Australia T Shirts - EVER
2. Its only a crime if you get caught… SO DONT GET CAUGHT!
