Tee partyBlog
You can finally buy Sepia tees and hoodies. Also check out the funny desi designs in the second half of the store.
You’re welcome to post design or color requests here, but please send any questions about the underlying shirts or order status to Spreadshirt. They use Fruit of the Loom, American Apparel and Hanes tees. A tip on ordering: the designs called ‘flex print’ are the most durable. The other designs eventually fade with repeated washing.
We make $5 per tee to help pay for blog hosting. If anyone’s ordered from Spreadshirt before, please let us know how the t-shirts turned out.

Sepia Mutiny has just announced its line of clothing :) They have cool tees and hoodies, plastered with funny desi designs. I would definitely love to buy one of them. You should too. ...
Oh. My. God.
Which one(s) should I buy!?!?!?!?!
These are awesome. Who did the designs? They are too funny.
That mustache ride is a bargain at 2 Rs. Sold!
I'd love the "Suitable Girl" on a long-sleeved hoodie
why north dakota?
It's where they hold us hostage our headquarters.
I like it. I like it a lot.
Just one concern (and flame me to your hearts content for saying this). Please do not let this get out of hand. I love Sepia Mutiny the way it is, somewhat exclusive but not elitist.
I'd love the "Suitable Girl" on a long-sleeved hoodie
me too. everyone loves a suitablegirl.
:D
I'd love the "Suitable Girl" on a long-sleeved hoodie
Done.
w00t!!!!!
Mrs. Rushdie?!? Gandhi has a Posse?!
Can we work out an endorsement deal? I'm going to go broke. :)
If you're taking suggestions-- I'd love to see "Thank you Come again" with www.sepiamutiny.com on the back...
Sweet! Lovin' the "S" logo!
How about:
"Too many Cowboys. Not enough Indians".
?
I'd love to see "Thank you Come again" with www.sepiamutiny.com on the back...
Done.
is this for real? are the mutineers getting shirts?
Wow, what a great idea. How about a regular contest to see who can come up with the best slogans/designs? Winner gets to have their idea included in the SM clothing line...
I am disappointed....you dont have one with a sketch of ANNA on it ????
WWKD - awesome.
What about: "How Mutinous Are You?"
Would it be possible to get "Suitable Girl" in the Sepia Mutiny font (see banner above) at some point?
Too many choices...not enough spare cash...
Great job, guys :) Will be ordering soon.
How about: "One Lau"
Oh oh oh...
"The only thing exotic about me is my t-shirt"
I could do this all day....no, don't run! Where are you going?? I'll be keeping my dayjob then.
that "kutta" one is hilllarious......cant wait to go back to india and face the 'gharwalas' wearing that.....
ma,dad....sorry bout the stroke!!
wah wah, kya service hai! thanks Manish :)
Too many choices! But, I'm digging the "samosa monster."
Manish,
I think the 'wazzup' tee and 'extra virgin' tees should come with www.sepiamutiny.com in the back in small font.
You need something to spread the love dude.
Damn. So that's 'Kutta' as in bow-wow, and not 'adorable lad from Mallu land'?
So that's 'Kutta' as in bow-wow, and not 'adorable lad from Mallu land'?
It swings both ways. Maybe we should do a kutty/kutti tee.
DILF?
That is SO wrong it's right.
Sheer genius.
Damn. So that's 'Kutta' as in bow-wow, and not 'adorable lad from Mallu land'?
Yeah that was kinda confusing to me too.;).
Maybe it should be 'Kuththay!!' (if you mean dog) - I think this was ABs fave line (or was it Dharmendra - maybe 'Haraam Zaday' was his). Better yet have 'Kuththay' in Hindi. Or maybe 'Life's a Kuththee(bitch)!?'.
Maybe we should do a kutty/kutti tee.
The kutty idea is good, though I'd personally prefer something that said Anna thinks I'm a kuttan. :)
Maybe it should be 'Kuththay!!' (if you mean dog)
Only if you're addressing someone (as Amitabh was) or if you mean plural, 'dogs.'
Can I be the first to cry out, "SELLOUTS"! Commodified!
Actually, I'm torn between "DILF" and "Ravi Shankar's Love Child". Coincidentally, I was eating dinner with my relapsed Muslim homeboy in an empty Thai Jaiya (a brownie-favored Thai restarant on 28th/3rd for all non-New Yorkers) last nite and Ravi Shankar and his party came in and sat in the table behind us. Sans love child! We overheard Pandit Shankar relate some story about Roman Polanski at one of his dinner parties.
If only I had the shirt on!
Manish, this might be too narrow of a request for you to entertain but I need a fire engine red ringer tee-shirt emblazoned with the offical Bombay Dreams logo accompanied with an Arrow pointing down South.
Sure, just as soon as you sign this form promising truth in advertising ;)
Oh my God, Manish, if I had only had that Rushdie has a Posse shirt last night. Oh well, I think he called on me b/c of my bright red kurta,anyway.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will inspect the collection later, though.:-)
You're lucky I've outgrown yo' massi is sooo fat jokes...
How about:
"Once you go brown you never frown", with a happy face above it.
The kutty idea is good, though I'd personally prefer something that said Anna thinks I'm a kuttan. :)
As the Vij would say, "Done!"...just forward your photograph to our tipline, so we continue on the truth in advertising tip. ;)
No, seriously, very cute idea...maybe in our NEXT BATCH of tees... :D
You're lucky I've outgrown yo' massi is sooo fat jokes...
Ah, you wanted the version with the short arrow...
saheli: "if I had only had that Rushdie has a Posse shirt last night"
Word. Me too. Now my book just says my name instead of "To Rushdie Posse"
I think the "Moustache Rides" shirt should be changed to "Muchee Rides"
reminds me of david and goliath tees..too damn funny..like the samosa monster..
Maybe it's too late in the day or I'm hopelessly dense.....but what's DILF ?
DILF = "desi i'd like to fuck"
it's a play on "MILF".
my favorite is samosa monster :)
Life's a kutti!
THATS AWESOME ms.
That mustache ride is a bargain at 2 Rs. Sold!
did someone say muzzie rides? i'm there!
i love ravi shanker's love child. AND samosa monster!
Oh, these are great! will have to order whenst we get bill sout of the way.
one question - where are the sardars? not one did i see!
This is priceless! An absolutely brilliant idea. I wonder why you guys didn't use Cafe Press.
Another suggestion: how about one for the guys with "suitable boy" on it?
I'd like a version where www.sepiamutiny.com is on the back of "Gandhi has a posse"... That way, when someone asks me where Gandhi's posse is, I can point to the back of the shirt... :)
i want a tshirt with a picture of ennis... the suspense has been killing me for quite a while ennis singh
Life's a kutti! THATS AWESOME ms.
Thank you! Thank you! I am here till...oh well I am here everyday.
Btw , how about, "Meera Meera on the wall, I am not a gora at all !". (The Acorn had a hand in this)
Patti, you want turbans? Check out this pic of Bobby's t-shirt. Or ask Turbanhead to open up his own online shop full of lovely old woodcut images. ;)
My ex used to use that moustache ride line all the time to be tacky. I am SO buying him that shirt for xmas. (this is the one who won't return my cartoon anatomy San Francisco Sex Information shirt - "The clit - 1) Know it. 2) Use it." because he loves the reaction he gets when wearing it) He wants it immediately, of course. Current bf has neither facial hair nor a sexual sense of humor, so no shirt for him! ;)
Personally, I want a shirt that says "Horn OK Please." Fave India-related phrase EVER. Someone's squatting on the domain, dammit.
Horn OK Please is my favourite too! The girlfriend and I are very fond of it. We collect posters of wacky Indian signs, I'll scan them in some time. Surely T-shirt designs aplenty in them. Who needs engrish when you gots hinglish?
I've made a few T-shirts of me own courtesy a friend with a small business. I quite like one that has a big picture of a cock on it. A male chicken you dirty-minded lot. It sums me up perfectly.
it's not quite "Horn OK Please"... but it's close...
and it does say "use dipper at night"... heh heh. ;)
You could have Apu's full name on the front, with his surname extending around the side all the way onto the back of the shirt......
Hey, nice find DD. How did you know about that one? But the girl looks Thai!
Or "Pony Up, Robin. Pony Up !"
*Apprentice/Raj Bhatka reference
Or "Riz Khan Revival".....
Or "I love Monita".....
Or "Sepia Mutiny. Now outsourced to Bangalore"
HERE'S the shit you're after, done by yet another cool friend of mine:
Here's a Horn OK Please tee.
Wow, you're fast. Remind me, do you actually have a job?! ;) That's cool stuff. I fear delivery to the UK would be rather pricey. Oh yeah and I'm a tight-fisted Scrooge.
Manish, thanks! I shall order everything tonight.
And Bong Breaker, you've exposed Kunal to the whole world now! Now I won't look anywhere near as cool prancing around in his exclusive t-shirts! Damn you, *I* discovered him 2 years ago in the first place, in Shoreditch when Talvin was DJing. :p Just for that, I'll give you a t-shirt with my logo on it for xmas, so that YOU may advertise ME. ;)
Yes, terrible of me to advertise someone's business so that he can make money! I'm so sorry!
And my dear fair gora, I already advertise you. But I would be more than happy to receive a free T-shirt. I mean I would be more than happy to advertise you on a T-shirt.
I am currently wearing another fave T-shirt of mine. Speedy Gonzales, my idol.
BB - You probably advertise me by putting my number up in a phone booth, accompanied by a pic of some feather-haired bimbo with an American flag thong, innit? Yeah, just you wait until I splash your face all over the Daily Mail, accusing you of purposely giving pensioners avian flu on the NHS.
No, I'm all about starving artist Kunal getting some pounds into his account, even if it wrecks my unique wardrobe. But what he really needs is a visa, right? This is where SepiaDestiny dating service needs to come into play, but Abhi hasn't done it yet. ;)
1 -
feather-haired bimbo with an American flag thong
Sorry, don't understand your objection to this. Are you trying to claim it's NOT accurate?
2 - How did you find out about my avian 'flu stash?
3 - One of our mutual friends was willing to marry the fella simply to keep him in the country. Even that article doesn't seem to have helped him...whereas I've been positively deluged with an offer.
Current bf has neither facial hair nor a sexual sense of humor, so no shirt for him! ;) [Link]So why is he current boyfriend?
A few more ideas:
"Sepia Mutiny: Spreadin' da love since 1857"
"Sepia Mutiny: Spilling the daal since 2004"
"Ek Aur Galassee"
"Show Me The Paisa !!"
[A really suicidal one] On the front it says "I went to Gitmo..." and on the back "...And all they gave me was this lousy T-shirt !"
You could have various versions for the ladies too, eg: "Bhoochie Queen", "Chalu Chokri", and so on...
i want a tshirt with a picture of ennis... the suspense has been killing me for quite a while ennis singh
HAHAAH That makes two of us!
fairest gora of them all, thank you! OMG!!!! Now, I'm DYING to track down where you can one of those!!! That is *too* damn cute! Ok, dearest Turbanhead, you heard the call, and Ennis! We need MORE SARDARS ON SHIRTS!!!!! Ach, what am I saying, I'd better set to work myself! ;) anyhoo...still gotta know where I can get one of those shirts....man, I may need two or threee, might wear one out!
I'd love the "Suitable Girl" on a long-sleeved hoodieDone.
Thankyou :)Will be purchay-sing soon
and Yes A N N A, everyone loves a Suitable Girl
I'd be all over that Veerappan shirt if it came in any color besides white... I'm stuck doing laundry on coin-op machines... which means any white clothes I have don't stay white for very long...
..."Horn OK Please"...Fave India-related phrase EVER.
When I visited Bombay around 8 years ago the kids were all wearing "Horny OK Please" t-shirts from Tantra ("India on a T-shirt")
I'd be all over that Veerappan shirt if it came in any color besides white...
amen. i'm not a fan of white tees, at all.
since when is it booty and not S.w.a.g? :(
Ever since we started to shake it ;)
Blame those of us with Y chromasomes for the name change - we have no booty, and are in desperate need ;)
i want a tshirt with a picture of ennis... the suspense has been killing me for quite a while ennis singh
*blush* Keep that up, Sikhgirl, and my ego will get to large to fit on a t-shirt.
Besides which, don't you like your men ... mysterious?
are you telling me you pay for booty, Ennis?
Every boy pays for booty, one way or 'nother. T'aint nothing in life is free ...
So where do I send the pics of me in my Suitable Girl top?
To suitablegirl, of course ...
i was waiting for that. :)
at least, the t-shirts! they are awesome and I am gonna grab some for me. good work, folks.
Hey guys,
is there any way that y'all could get the "Rushdie has a posse" design on a long sleeved hoodie? pretty please?
Rushdie posse on hoodie-- done.
Manish, I would buy the wassup tee but i need some sepia branding on it too.
That's why the girls lost last night at The Apprentice.
good call, DDIA. I'm a lot more compelled to drop coin on the soft goods if I'm a walking billboard for the mutiny :)
No fair, DD. You already got your custom tee :)
I'm trying out my business acumen to help the mutiny sell shirts. That and I'm practicing to be the next desi meanie on Apprentice...
besides, I'm a girl-- one shirt a wardrobe doth not make ;)
I am currently wearing another fave T-shirt of mine. Speedy Gonzales, my idol.
*snort*
I wouldn't advertize that if I were you, BB ;)
... I would buy the wassup tee but i need some sepia branding on it too.
Manish, that's bangin'!!
Although in most cases it would probably be copyright infringement, why not tshirts with your various banners on them
