From the strange but cool department, we are pleased to present to you, for your consideration: Sir Fancy Rabbit.

Reading the “About Us” page on AAITSKI makes us wonder what they put in the water there in Belgium. And then it made us laugh out loud.

The designs from these guys are intentionally cute and remind us of something you’d see out coming out of japan. The guys behind the shirts prefer to call them “coolafied.”

P is for Panda is an Altanta-based indie clothing line that started in 2007, relying mostly on word of mouth to generate sales, and contributing a third of those sales to various charities.

These days, they’re also branching out into music by starting a record label in partnership with Hopeless/Sub City Records. It’s a more natural evolution than one might expect; the founder of P is for Panda, Chad Pearson, has a long history in the music industry.

Music and cool threads have always gone together, so we’re excited to see how the site evolves.

Right now, the store has just gone live with a bunch of new designs. Most of the links on the top navigation are still broken, but you can browse and purchase tees.

(Their first album, Mixtape Volume 1, is also on sale now both through the store and itunes)

We’re really digging the Swarm shirt — like the site says “Who doesn’t want a cute panda head with cross bones all over the front of their shirt?” Printed on AA tees with the super soft hand bleach technique, 20 bucks is a great price.

This is one of the recent winning designs from a Threadless inspired site in South Africa called springleap.

I’m woefully ashamed that we haven’t heard of these folks before, because besides having a really well-done site with a color scheme we can appreciate, they are rockin’ some great designs.

They launched February 2008 and are getting some great press both in SA and in elsewhere in the world. No wonder, with an active community built around great submissions to the monthly contest.

They buying process seems really easy too - though prices are in the South African Rand, they do ship to the EU and to the US. They have a live help, where one of the customer service reps informed me that shirts shipped to the US run about $23-$24 each (depending on the conversion rate) with around $7.00 in shipping ($1.50 for each additional shirt)
