12 October 2007   Hamish & Andy wear Foghorn on their epic journey What do two likely lads setting off to skirt Australia in a humble caravan need to pop in their swags? Foghorn T Shirts, of course. When Hamish and Andy* embarked on their epic quest to drive from Perth to Brisbane in only ten days, we figured they'd need some clear identification to pass muster in the country towns they'd be visiting. So, we whipped up some personalised T Shirts just for them. Here's a shot of the original -> As snaps from the road trip show, Andy (also known as "Mr Megan Gale") was an immediate Foghorn convert, and was seen sporting his T while enjoying lawn bowls, channel skiing and a special visit to the Giant Merino. We hear that Hamish wore his to bed... *As seen on Channel Ten's Rove and heard on the Austerio Radio Network
3 October 2007 A few little changes our regulars may notice In our endless journey of continuous improvement, we are always seeking ways to make Foghorn an even better place to design your T Shirt. Here's an update on the latest tweeks... WAS FITTED. NOW PREMIUM Our wonderful Ts from cult US manufacturer American Apparel have been known on the Foghorn website as "Fitted T" for men and women.  Now you'll see they are our Premium T. We reckon this is a better description, and reflects the very special garment that this soft and lovey T is. COLOUR UP We've added two colours to our standard print range: Yellow and Burgundy.  Observant Foghorners may cry "but there's always been Yellow". True. But now the old Yellow is Gold, and the new Yellow is Yellow. Just to completely confuse you. Clue: Gold - think Australian Team. Yellow - think of a bright and shiny lemon.  We are fully sick (!)  for the new Yellow. Give it a try! TURN ON THE FLURO We've also changed the name of our Neons: they're now Fluro. Same great day-glo look, same amazing opaque quality.  Psychedelic baby.

Qantas won't budge so the guy is grounded. What's your take on this latest controversy in the T Shirt world. Is the guy a hero or a pest? Are Qantas protecting their customers (from a T Shirt???) or going way overboard? Or is it all just a storm in a T-shirt, ho ho.
