Sheepskins, Your Collectible Apparel is Here
Sheepskins has a rare way in promoting its collection — Instead of letting us choose what T-shirts to buy, it randomly picks the ones for us. The product itself, called Skin© or IDT, composed of one random color basic T-shirt (by American Apparel) and another random printed-design, chosen from 60 designs (of each series).
Is it similar to T-shirt subscription where you blindly buy (experimental) T-shirts? Not exactly. Sheepskins gallery ( called Incubation) will give ideas how current designs look like on certain colors — so you won’t be in complete surprise.
Now meet the sheep.
The flash website itself pretty interesting, although it’s not easy to understood — heck, I even need my third visits before fully understand the whole concept. By all means, there are five sheep that represent each web page: There are left Skins (the info page) and Incubation (gallery page) on the left side. While in the middle is Shearings, a users/customers forum page — where sheepskins fans chat, comment just to share or even trade off their IDT collections (oh yeah, is it why it calls itself: “the origin of collectible apparel”?). Last two on the right are Acquisition and Bleating – purchase and contact form page [visit]

ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
These shirts are even more than meets the eye.
On my third purchase I rcieved an “uncommon” Copper design.
looks like there are two prints layers on the shirts, the first layer appears to be dyed which looks like digital glitches, and then the designs are printed over that.
Definitely unique.
I am workin on a “rare”.
