Two Blue Cars : Shirts for Boys http://www.twobluecars.com/ en Copyright 2012 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:32:26 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Digger This was one of our first shirts, one of the ones we screened by hand at the kitchen table. When our kids started wearing it, other kids started stopping us in the street asking us where to get one. Now a year later, we have created this little website.

Our son especially likes how the arm reaches around from the back to the front of the shirt and will, on demand, happily demonstrates how it digs.

There's nothing like a clear fall day on the Promenade or in DUMBO, standing at the water's edge pitching rocks and tracking choppers swooping in from every direction.

The body of the vehicle can swivel 360 degrees on it's dirt climbing dual tracks and the power packing diesel engine motors up steep hills over rocks and dirt. The tractor is also known commonly as a trackhoe, digger and earthmover.

We also have a great short sleeve excavator shirt with a different design.

They wanted some sharks, divers, and a shipwreck... and that's exactly what we created. Kids seem to go nuts over this shirt. We hope you love it as much as they do!

Turntable facts for your kid:

1. A proto turntable was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877.
2. The modern record player became popular in the 1920s and fell out of favor in the early 80s as CDs began to dominate.
3. Turntablism is the art of manipulating sounds and creating music using turntables.
4. The sound from a good turntable system and a clean record is still far superior to that produced by a CD.
5. The most expensive turntables can cost upwards of $150,000.
5. Turntables re-emerged in the 90s with the rise of hip hop and the DJ era but they never died amongst those of us who love music.

This is one of our most popular designs and is also available as a onesie for the tiny folks in your life and as a shirt for big kids.

It's fresh off the presses.

We created this shirt because when our boys hear the street sweeper approaching, cries of "STREET SWEEPER! Street sweeper! The window! The window!" ring through the house followed by the heavy beat of small feet to the window. Our kids loved this shirt and we hope yours will too.

Note in addition to the main image on the shirt features a smaller machine coming around the seam of the shirt.

From our first tricycle, to our purple banana bikes, to the vintage 1954 J.C. Higgins we now covet, we love a good ride. We put this shirt together to inspire our kids to think about the world of wheeled possibility. Seems to be working!

Note these American Apparel tanks tops are a bit slim in the belly.
