The World's First Wearable Magazine -- Huh? No, Seriously -- Paper Free & Fashion Forward!

Magazine addiction has been a well-documented phenomenon that involves the stockpiling of countless glossy titles until you have so many cluttering your living space that you end up constructing precarious, makeshift towers to create some semblance of "organization" in your life.
Actually, I'm half-kidding, but there are so many people that I know (myself included) who have been caught up within this insane disorder at one time or another that perhaps it should be written up in the medical books.
Thinking with a lucid mind, we all know that magazines are almost as bad as yesterday's newspaper in terms of stale content -- plus, they torch untold amounts of trees and cause a great deal of environmental stress.

What's the alternative? While many of us have turned to the internet to satisfy our intellectual and entertainment curiosities, subscribers to T-Post magazine can feel confident in the fact that they are doing away with the paper altogether since the entire publication is sent to them in the form of a wearable tee shirt.
Each issue (ahem, t-shirt) costs $19 EUR or $28.3517 USD and in exchange for your financial investment, you will receive an American Apparel-made shirt every six weeks that is screened with a new graphic design that correlates with that month's theme.
Using organic cotton tees is one thing, but they also rely on the services of an environmentally certified printer that uses eco-friendly ink and are also in the process of finding local print shops so they can minimize their overall carbon footprint.
Different artists are commissioned to interpret the content and illustrate it as they see fit, so as you can imagine, T-Post has amassed quite an impressive collection of shirts that are as diverse as a person's fingerprints.

Once they're done producing the current issue, that's it -- you can't back order any of them since they only print the specific number ordered by their subscribers.
You're probably wondering where the meat-and-potatoes of the magazine is....well, take a look at the inside...it's all there screenprinted in black and white.
Besides being a very original concept, it utilizes one of the most enduring fashion staples of our time -- the humble yet versatile tee -- to fulfill our craving for knowledge and sense of style.
All the green peeps out there -- do you think that this is a much better eco-alternative to the written magazine that is printed on paper?
