Addict Clothing X Hung By Thread (2)
Published on February 9th, 2009. By The Taddict, under T-Shirt Spotlight.
Streetwear is alive and kicking in Australia and Hung By Thread is a big reason for it. They contacted the Taddict in early January and offered to send us one of their shirts. We jumped at the chance because many of the brands they carry are top-notch and fashion forward. Just the fact that they offered to send us a t-shirt from the land of Oz to the great states ought to make you realize just how hard peeps are hustlin’ these days.
We picked a shirt from the Addict brand for obvious reasons. Doesn’t it seem fitting? According to the Hung by Thread website, Addict is a British streetwear brand started in 1994. We received the shirt and couldn’t have been more impressed, from the packaging, the print, and all of the details. Don’t believe it? Keep reading then because we got pics to prove it.
The parcel package was pretty funny because of all the markings from the long journey to the Taddict’s offices.
We did receive the obligatory stickers, and that is not a detail that should be taken for granted. It’s an added bonus that you never expect when you open a package. I’ve seen this done by many different companies, and I’ll always comment on it because it’s “above and beyond”. The t-shirt also came individually wrapped in a branded plastic bag to fend off the nastiness that shipping can bring.
The amount of finished details in the product was pretty amazing. It started with the jumbo print being over 23 inches tall and included sewn in labels with a nice hang tag. These parts add to the professionalism and overall quality.
Another thing that surprised me when seeing the shirt in person was that it’s definitely a cut and sew. The print was underneath the stitching and the side slits had fabric taping.
Lastly, the back to the t-shirt had a smaller, more subtle single color print. If you learn one thing from this tee review, it’s that Hung by Thread is for real and they’re not afraid to show it.

Love when companies do a great job packaging their products.
Next to customer service, I think it’s one of the best things a t-shirt line can do to build good word of mouth and a rep for quality.
