My answer would be no, and I’m living proof – let me introduce myself, Luke Fraser,
designer of T-world and proud wearer of shirts with collars and cuffs.

T-shirts, I just don’t like them as something to wear, I like a shirt to have a bit more of a formal feel (the printed tuxedo tees don’t count). I’m firmly against the general casual-ness that the mania for T-shirts has slowly bought around.

But…

I do like some of the graphics on them though, and that’s where I come in to the equation that is T-world.

I love design, and as I deal with it on a daily basis, that’s a big positive. Sometimes, a design
I love crops up on a T-shirt, causing all kinds of conflicting emotions within me. How do I deal with a love of the design, and an all-encompassing hate for the medium it appears on? Put it in a magazine journal that’s how.

If the design is good, it should survive being removed from the T-shirt and ending up in the pages of T-world, allowing me and countless others to appreciate, without the person who's chest you’ve been caught staring at looking daggers at you.

That’s how I do it, and live with myself.

An admission – I have designed a fair few T-shirts myself, but I can’t look at the samples I have. I keep them locked up in a vault.
