Mouse is a huge fan of punctuation and an amateur fan of typography. So what better than this "Ampershirt" by Chicago's own Plural Design, which showcases a lovely ampersand in Akzidenz Grotesk letterform? It's printed on a nice soft American Apparel tee. Mouse scored one last week and loves it. You can walk around in it prepared for when people give you small talk, or incomplete answers...next time I hear somebody say "I really liked that book," I'm going to point at my Ampershirt...

Plural is giving one away, woohoo. Leave a comment below and visit Plural to be eligible; I'll choose someone by the end of the week. Be sure to check out Plural's store--they have many more posters sure to knock the socks off of punctuation and type people, and a really cool silkscreen poster of moon cycles.

(Thanks for the interest, everybody! Mouse is thrilled you like punctuation, too. This giveaway is U.S. only, for shipping reasons.)

I love it!!! I have a special place in my heart for ampersands. Did you know that in the nineteenth century instead of "etc." they wrote "&c." Love it!

Kate said...

Ooo! I'm a manuscript editor by trade--I can't imagine a more fitting piece of clothing for someone in my line of work. Their bracket t-shirt is also very sweet!

I love it!

Kate said...

Oohhh that would be so perfect for me, right now! I'm in strict edit-mode, so no ampersands for me! Lovely giveaway, Mouse - thank you!

Amanda said...

Ahh, I love it! My husband sure would love a "cables" shirt...looks like one of the many piles of cables that can be found in our desk drawer, basement, junk drawer...the list goes on. ;)

I'm a huge ampersand fan.

Amanda said...

My company's style guide doesn't allow ampersands, so I'm constantly eradicating them from people's writing and it makes.me.so.sad.

You'll be super sassy in this shirt, Mouse.

(p.s. frances? love.)

sad. i wish i lived in america. or at least had an address there for all these neat things you folks can get shipped to you. can i enter, have it shipped to a friend in new york, and ask him to kindly bring it with him next time he comes to the cold, frightful country of canada?

sigh. i will covet it from (very) afar, instead.

Mouse said...

Kaitli, that sounds workable to me!

Rachel said...

Mouse - if I win, can you ship it to my family in California and my Dad can collect it when he comes on business in 2 weeks! xx

Mouse said...

Yes, yes, we will ship it to any US address--and then you guys can arrange whatever you need to! xo
