X-Wing - 2022/05/01 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
We are starting off Star Wars Month with a classic 70s inspired X-Wing t-shirt from Qwertee.
We are starting off Star Wars Month with a classic 70s inspired X-Wing t-shirt from Qwertee.
X-wing. Qwertee.
According to my knowledge of the Star Wars Universe (and Wikipedia) “The X-wing starfighter is a name applied to a family of fictional spacecraft manufactured by the Incom Corporation”.
As far as spacecraft go, the X-wing is one of the coolest ever. I have to say that when in a planet’s atmosphere it is still a second to the Sopwith Camel though.
Luke Skywalker (portrayed by Mark Hammil) flew the X-wing during the battle of Yavin in Star Wars Episode IV, and is tied to the character throughout the expanded universe.
I admit I have spent a fair amount of time flying the X-wing myself since 1995 and expect to do so for many years to come. Flying an X-wing is always good fun, and those who share appreciation for the spacecraft always recognise the depiction when they see me wearing this t-shirt.
This t-shirt is another one from Qwertee, which was a limited edition one. Check out Qwertee to see if you can find something else on theme: https://www.qwertee.com/r/249cd838c1 (referral link).
Kingdom Hearts - 2022/04/30 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo’s T-shirt A Day is back. We aim to keep this feature going into May 2023 if all goes well.
Apologies to those of you who have been waiting over two years for this series of posts to continue. There was a thing that happened, but I’m back now and can keep this going well into 2023 unless something else happens. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
Kingdom Hearts. Qwertee.
This is a Kingdom Hearts inspired t-shirt from Qwertee. I’ve only played Kingdom Hearts a few times, but it is a great video game series with some heavy Disney influences.
Today Tech Travel Geeks published a video and a short on YouTube about my new favourite iPhone case which has a chicken on it. If you watch the video, you’ll likely spot my Omelette Du Fromgae t-shirt.

Honor, For The Brave - 2020/02/18 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Honor, the smartphone brand.
Honor is a smartpone and electronics brand owned by Huawei. This is a classic one with their older EU branding which I often wear under shirts because of how soft the cotton is.
We recently published our review of the Honor 9X a pretty cool smartphone with a popup camera.
I have a few other Honor t-shirts which I will be wearing throughout the rest of 2020. Keep an eye out for them.
Charismatic Characters - 2020/02/17 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo was wearing a t-shirt featuring some charismatic characters while doing fun stuff in California.
Today was a pretty awesome day: we went horse riding at Triple Creek, Glen Ellen, and then went for a sunset photoshoot with Ant Pruitt at Bodega Bay. While this was all going on I was wearing one of my favourite mashup Qwertee t-shirts which features Roger (American Dad), Bender (Futurama), Homer (The Simpsons), Rick (Rick & Morty), and Bojack (Bojack Horseman).
Here is the video of the horse riding at Triple Creek in Glen Ellen.
And this is one of my favourite photos from our photoshoot. Master Ant Pruitt doing his thing with a camera.

Giant’s Milk! That’s whyb Matteo is so strong…
Today was a full throttle one as I prepare to go on holiday on Thursday. How do I do it? Giant’s milk…
OK, no, I don’t drink giant’s milk, but this t-shirt makes me chuckle.
For more context you should probably watch or read Game of Thrones George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels adapted for TV by HBO.

Matteo wears his Italy top while supporting the underdogs in the Guinness 6 Nations.
Today Italy lost their game against France in the 6 Nations. While I was supporting the underdogs (Italy) I was also wearing my Italy Rugby shirt from circa 2003.
This was a cotton rugby shirt made by Robe di Kappa, with the Federazione Italiana Rugby (FIR) shield, the Robe di Kappa logo and the shirt sponsor Jaguar.
Here are the highlights of the game as well.
Napster - 2020/02/08 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo bought this Napster t-shirt for a pirate themed fancy dress event…
This isn’t an original Napster t-shirt, but one I purchased a few years ago for a pirate themed fancy dress event…
Napster
Napster was a peer to peer file sharing service which was mostly used for sharing mp3 files. It famously ran into legal issues due to copyright claims and eventually was acquired and faded into the obscurity of the internet (a bit like iol.it…).
I used Napster back in the day before ISDN was a thing and had to do so over a dial up connection. It worked, barely.
Bellfield Brewery - 2020/02/07 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Bellfield Brewery makes a series of very tasty gluten free beers and has an awesome tap room in Edinburgh. The Bellfield Brewery t-shirt is super comfy too.
Bellfield Brewery is a brewery in Edinburgh which specialises in gluten free beer. I was lucky enough to be at the opening of the tap room last summer and have visited a few times since then.
Bellfield Brewery t-shirt.
The Bellfield Brewery t-shirt is a simple classic, and is very comfy too. Don’t mind the white cat fluff all over the t-shirt in the image: I had just got home and gave Rodney (my cat) a big up hug before this t-shirt picture was taken.
Bellfield Brewery Session Ale (Gluten Free)
This is the first of many t-shirts in the “Matteo’s T-shirt A Day” from a brewery. Later this year I will be featuring a few weeks of brewery and beer t-shirts. Consider this a gluten free taster, just the way the Lagunitas one was in January.
If you are into craft beer or would like to try out their gluten free products, I recommend you visit.Remember to check their opening times and days just to make sure they are open.
Final Fantasy VII Pop Art - 2020/02/06 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Final Fantasy VII has been a formative video game for many teenagers of the 90s. This Final Fantasy VII mashup is from Qwertee.
Final Fantasy VII is one of those culturally defining video games which formed many teenagers from the 90s lives. When I saw this Final Fantasy V!! Pop Art t-shirt, I was blown away by how the art resonated with me.
Final Fantasy VII Pop Art
Are you none the wiser of what Final Fantasy VII is? Well to oversimplify it, it is a video game role playing game with swappable characters and an amazing storyline.

Ideaa - 2020/02/05 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
IDEAA, a non-profit organisation which organised the Big Android BBQ events.
This is a comfy extra large t-shirt I often wear around the house. It is definitely a comfort over looks one, despite the cool IDEAA logo. IDEAA was the non-profit organisation which enabled the planning of the Big Android BBQ events and other smaller events globally.
IDEAA. An extra large and extra comfy t-shirt.
I had the pleasure of meeting and working with some excellent people through IDEAA, and am thankful I made some friends at the time as well. This evening I will raise a glass to IDEAA and everyone who attended and made the Big Android BBQ events possible. Cheers!
Apple Mothership - 2020/02/04 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo in an Apple t-shirt and holding an iPhone. Will he burst into flames?
Most people know me as an Android enthusiast and to poke a little bit of fun at those who use fruity devices. What many of you don’t know is that I do indeed use fruity devices to varying degrees, and this week I unboxed a new Apple iPhone 11 (PRODUCT)RED. Today’s t-shirt of the day is a limited edition Apple t-shirt from the Infinite Loop campus in Cupertino, California.
“Cupertino. Home of the Mothership.”
Now, don’t expect me to be standing in a queue for the next product launch, but be aware that I do use some of the Cupertino company’s devices. Enjoy my video of the unboxing of the Apple iPhone 11 (PRODUCT)RED on the Tech Travel Geeks YouTube Channel.
Hollister 1922 California Surf Team - 2020/02/03 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
In the run up to his vacation to California, Matteo is wearing a t-shirt from a faux-Californian brand.
California, next week. We can’t wait until our next vacation (flying KLM obviously). In the run up I’m wearing my Hollister t-shirts and setting up for tomorrow’s orange t-shirt by wearing this one.
Hollister Co. California Surf Team 1922.
Hollister as a brand is part of Abercrombie & Fitch, which as a business has had to reorganise and reinvent itself in the last few years. Here is an interesting CNBC video about what they have been going through.
Hollister Pacific Merchants '59 - 2020/02/02 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Hollister, because Matteo is not just immature, he is young at heart and a cool good looking guy…
Hollister is a US apparel brand part of Abercrombie & Fitch. While the brand, and company has a fictional history, it was in fact founded in Ohio in 2000. Hollister is Abercrombie & Fitch’s “young” brand.
Hollister Pacific Merchants ‘59.
I’m looking forward to going to California on vacation next week, so I’ll wear a couple of Hollister t-shirts before we head off next week. We are flying to San Francisco, on KLM of course.
