‘Been there, done that, got the t-shirt’ is an over-used cliché that often doubles as a lie. In most cases, no t-shirt is actually present- just a bored sense of pseudo achievement.

It also states that, in the 1960s, they became vehicles of a more political nature, carrying protest messages and later, the massive array of designer images that we see today. The power of the t-shirt is still as strong as ever and this fact is recognised and exploited by Joburg's very own Tshirt Terrorist. Tshirt Terrorist has been making their specific brand of striking attire since 2004, providing designer t-shirts that take no prisoners with their controversial, provocative and entertaining messages.
