House and his tees

This is another insane posting. Several months ago I listed all the shoes House has ever worn on the show. Now it's time for his shirts. The listing, cap searching and, most of all, the online shirt search took an unreasonable absolutely insane amount of time, but hey... I've got no life.

preview:
BI lupus LM skull/floral 1 PE red dragon Z-Brand "Loans"


If you'd like to re-use any of this in context with House, please credit or link back to me. I hate to ask, but this one took incredibly long to put together. It would make me really happy, if people stopped by here. Thanks!

HOUSE's tees

I started this post back in March and thought I'd unlock it as soon as I had info on all or most of the shirts. I decided to finally open up this list, because I'm starting to doubt I'll find all of them (some have just been out of sale for too long). I'm kinda proud that I found as many as I did, though :-)

Detailed lists of shirts by episode with captures are in separate entries (the posting became too large for one LJ entry, so I had to split it into several parts)  Season 1 & 2 / Season 3 & 4 / Season 5 & 6
 

These are shirts that House has been wearing on the show:

As you can see I've still got many shirts to find (some I didn't even upload pictures of, because there's too little to see of the graphics.) This post will be updated when/if I can identify more of them. And the new season will undoubtedly bring new tees for House as well. So, stay tuned. :-)

House's costume designer Cathy Crandall mentioned in an article that she sourced vintage stadium shirts and that House can be seen wearing "Doors", "Mötley Crüe" and indie-rock T-shirts. (Season 1)

If you enjoyed this, there's also a list of House's shoes you might find interesting.

I am speechless, and breathless....this is an AMAZING and extraordinarily satisfying look into House's closet. THANK YOU. and *hangs head in mock embarrassment* I will admit I have several Barking Iron and one Lincoln Mayne in my own closet and the fact that you identified the Coffin Break tee shirt is what will keep me up all night. For me, that shirt is the holy grail. did I say THANK YOU? and one last comment.... I live in the US and would be happy to return the favor and be the courier for any tees you want to buy. I'm a whiz at international shipping.
:)
Oh, a fellow tee fanatic. Cool! It makes me very happy that I could keep you up all night. :-)

The 'Coffin Break' shirt was insanely hard to find. But I was determined to do so before unlocking the post. It IS the holy grail, isn't it? That and the 'Loans' shirt (which was equally elusive).

No reason to hang your head in embarrassment. Wear you BI's and LM's proudly, I say. And thanks so much for your shipping offer. The above mentioned two tees would be the top of my list, unfortunately I couldn't find an online store that still sells them.

But the Skull&Floral is tempting too. Did you buy your Lincoln Mayne tees online or in a store? I wouldn't know which size to pick. If they are men's slim fit I would probably need a pretty big one (I'm a bit curvy... and a woman).

If you go search for the 'Coffin Break' and find it somewhere, I want one, too. LOL

Thanks for your feedback. It made my day.
YOU. ARE. AMAZING.
I found you over at... "House of Whining" or whatever its called, IDK. I was originally searching for info on Cuddy's wardrobe (I don't have a life either) and got linked to that site, and from there I found THIS. Your EPIC post of fashion!fandom!! Damn. This must have taken SO much energy. I'm in awe. Thank-you, thank-you thank-you, thank-you. Seriously. This post is so perfectly organized with all the photos and caps and links... GAHHH AMAZING!! lol
xx Jenn


Jenn,

thanks so much for leaving such great feedback. I'm glad you found this posting to be enjoyable. Yes, it took a long time and a lot of energy, but in the end it was worth it. :-)
(You should have heard the yell of victory every time I identified a shirt.)

I'm only sorry I can't help with Cuddy's wardrobe. I'm absolutely clueless about it.

Thanks again!
again with the awesome! i'm going to have go buy one of the lincoln mayne shirts. they're crazy cool.

thanks so much for sharing this!
You are very welcome.

I adore the Skull & Floral shirt by LM. That and a couple of the others I'd love to have. I just wish all the shirts weren't so expensive. And a lot of them are sold out, too.

Oh well, love from afar, I guess.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Aaaaamzing.
Thank you very much! :)
Fan-fucking-tastic! You bet that took a lot of work - and I genuflect to you for doing it!

Marvelous. Mem'ing it!
Thank you! That comment makes me feel very very nice!!!
I'm honored that it warrants mem'ing and will do my best to update when more tee mysteries are revealed. :-)
WOW.

This is an AMAZING post. I've been looking for his skull and florals tee for a very long time! One of my favorite tees of his. Wow! So well organized, and with SO MUCH picture evidence. This is just an amazing post!
And, this post made me realize that he has a lot of the SAME tee graphic printed on different colors t-shirts. Very, very cool. Seems like, when House (or his wardrobe people) likes a graphic, he gets it in different colors. HEE!
You may think you have no life but I think you're made of AWESOME for doing this! Very cool :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. :-)
This is AWESOME!
Thank you very much! I aim to please. :-)

Incredible job

This is just unbelievable, great work, I admire your patience and thoroughness!

Re: Incredible job

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :-)
Holy crap, I love you now. Seriously, I've been wanting a list like this FOREVER.

I must go on a rabid search for the "Lupus" shirt now... I saw that in one episode and was like: "WAAAAAANT". Sigh, I wish it was still in stock. ):

Edited at 2008-08-03 01:22 am (UTC)
Thanks so much. Makes me happy that there are people out there, who get as much pleasure out of stuff like this, as I do. :-)

Good luck on the Lupus shirt search. It's a shame so many of the tees are no longer available. But maybe you'll still find it somewhere.

unbefuckalivable

Amazing work ! Thanks a lot !

Re: unbefuckalivable

:-)
Many thanks and you are very welcome!
Thanks for compiling this amazing list/gallery!

I didn't realize House had so many dead things on his T-shirts.

That would make me really nervous if I were his patient, to be honest about it. I would make ironic jokes about them until he was mean to me, then I would probably cry. =)
Thank you for your kind feedback! :-)

Re: dead things on his shirts. LOL. Yes, there are quite a lot of tees, that aren't really appropriate to wear in a hospital. The attitude is so fitting for House and to have it come across through his wardrobe, that many viewers will not even notice, makes me smile. There's so much detail that goes into the show.

I love House, but I think if I ever met him in real life and he was mean to me, I might start crying, too. ;-)

(Anonymous)

thank you so much for all this! it's fascinating to see them all and finally have some old favorites identified.
I'm glad you like it! :) Thanks!
Wow,I just discovered this and I'm dying to get some of House's tee's but I'm either stupid or many don't exist anymore(it's probably a combination of both in the end I guess because I am oh so late to the "party" .

I'm amazon illiterate (apparently) because I can't find the Santa Cruz Choppers one which is one of my favorites so I was wondering if u could help me.

Do u have any idea about the current availability of some of the other tee's that you originally posted as available?

I'm sorry if I seem ungrateful or something because I bet it is and was time consuming to give us all this precious info already .

Oh and I'm in Europe so I guess that's also quite a problem :D
Thank you so much for your feedback! :-)

No, you're not stupid. A lot of the shirts were already unavailable when I made this list and I started last year. Most of them don't have a long shelf life.

The Santa Cruz Shoppers shirt seems to have vanished from amazon since I posted this. Probably sold out there. But I found it again for you here:
http://store.fashionbliss.com/mpre4.html

That same site also has the Project E "Red Dragon Tattoo" tee (but currently out of stock): http://www.fashionbliss.com/mpre2.html

You can still buy a couple of the Lincoln Mayne designs (which are always current on House... he was just wearing one of them during "Joy To The World"). The white "Skull & Floral", "Crest & Splashes", "Lemon/Skull/Floral" and the "Birds & Text" (the last in a different color). Just go to lincolnmayne.com, click 'Fashion' then 'Buy'. I bought one of them myself and am in Europe as well.

A couple of Barking Irons tees are still officially available through their website (barkingirons.com). Go to back-door offers and you'll find "Swells" and "From Beasts" (also "Backed by Barking Irons", which is a shirt Hugh Laurie has been wearing a lot, but not on the show).

Very recently I've seen the Nice Collective "Crow Stamp", "Ante Meridiem" and a newer version of the "Live at the Brain" still around.

If any of the tees are still out there, you'll find them by searching for the brand name through google (try shirt name, as well, and also an image search and look for familiar pictures that originate in a shop).

You don't seem ungrateful at all. To the contrary. I can imagine how frustrating it must be to see the brand and even shirt names and not find them for sale on the net. I wish it were different. There are a couple of shirts I'd kill for (Z-Brand - Loans and Taavo - Coffin Break) and they are just not for sale anymore.

Anyway, I hope I could help a little bit. Good luck! Anymore questions, let me know.

thank you!

you are amazing! I cannot thank you enough!!
Thanks so much! (blushing) :-)
I'm delighted that you liked this posting.
Both collections - the shoes and the Ts - are awesome. You rock!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked them. :-)

Hi,
First of all my Englisch isn't very well, haha.
Second: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Your place here is amazing! I've been looking for this since.. well it seems forever!
House is like an addiction, so are his clothes and yes.. finally I found this place! :]
I should make an account by the way! Thank you so much for sharing!! Certain I will keep an eye on this!
Bye
Thanks so much for your great feedback. I'm glad you found what you were looking for here. :-)

And your English is great.

(Anonymous)

That is AMAZING.

You really have done a service to House nation.

Quick question, though...

Where could I find the blazers/sport coats that House wears?

cloud7@sbcglobal.net
Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you think so :-)

As for the blazers... I'm sorry to say I have no idea. I found all the tees by searching for the graphics. Unfortunately that's not possible for the blazers.

A great many of them seem to be (hand-)tailored specifically for Hugh Laurie. Maybe not the early season 1 coats, but the later ones. I'm sorry I can't help you there.

You deserve a medal for this

Hi,

It's difficult to think of anything original to add to everybody's praise of your efforts, but I figure it must be nice to know you yourself have fans now!

I am a gawky guy from the UK and you have no idea what this reference means to me, both in general and as a House (the character) and "House" (the show!) fan.

The attention to detail and the in-jokes you've highlighted add a fantastic extra level to the show. I laughed a lot at the "Lupus" t-shirt.

Equally impressive seems to be your natural insight into the character, obvious from your comments in the kind replies you have written to all of us on here. I like that a) you have managed to make such astute judgments on House from his wardrobe alone and b) clearly I'm by no means the only person THAT into the show. It means I don't need to seek professional help... ;-)

I wouldn't say I'm a stylish guy. Normally I look a bit stupid wearing high fashion, or low fashion, or any kind of fashion - but I always figured that Hugh Laurie was a bit gawky (I hope nobody kills me for this, I realise he's a sex symbol now) and anything that looked good on him would look good on me... So I've used it as a springboard. I can't afford most of the stuff, and being in the UK is damn inconvenient, but I've got a couple of pairs of his shoes and tees and even a biker jacket that I never would have chosen myself without help, and I think it's safe to say that you have saved me from a lifetime of looking awkward. It just looks right!

Thank you so very much for this. It probably sounds OTT but finding your posts has made my millennium.

Best wishes,

MRC

Re: You deserve a medal for this

Wow! ... Just WOW! I'm speechless. I was just uploading a couple of images from the latest episode for both shirts and shoes and saw your feedback.

Thank you so, so much! Although many people have left very kind and enthusiastic replies here, I think yours if the most positive I've ever gotten for anything I've ever done.

It makes me very, very happy that my little project here had such an effect on you. There have been moments during searching and assembling all this info when I asked myself why I was doing it. It's a TV show! I while I'm very passionate about it and House, the character, and knew there were people out there who felt the same, I never would have expected this many of them being interested in a wardrobe overview. :-)

As for Hugh Laurie dressing a bit gawkily sometimes... I agree. ;-) For him it's part of the charm. But not everybody can pull it off and look adorable rather than dorky. So if you think I helped you in any way to improve your own wardrobe I feel honored. ;-)

Thanks again and all the best!!!!

(Anonymous)

awsome! also, where di you get your profile pic? i love it!!!
Thank you. :-)

My current profile pic is a screen capture from "Que SerĂ¡ SerĂ¡" (season 3).
WAY COOL!! How very cool indeed. I may have to purchase one of these; the one you've got is probably one of the best. Thanks so much for sharing. You deserve major Kudos for this!
Thank you so much! Feedback means a lot, especially from someone whose work I like. :-)

Almost all of the shirts aren't available anymore except a few of the Lincoln Mayne ones. So it's good that you like the one with the crest.

Hey dude, here's a link for one of your Ts. It's the lupus shirt, which I really like. It's very funky.

I'm not sure if it's a fake though, it could be, but, I thought you might want the link anyway.

Hey there,

sorry for the late reply. The link didn't work for me for a while, today it did. Thanks for sending it.

I don't think the tee is a fake and it's one of the ones I really like. Unfortunately I'm not in the US, so the price of the shirt plus shipping (if they even ship internationally) plus customs is a bit too much for me right now.

Go ahead and buy it for yourself. It'll make me smile, if I know a fellow House fan wears it with pride. ;-)
Leaving a comment of my own, to tell you all that all your replies are awesome and make me very happy, but could you all please

*** USE THE "REPLY LINK DIRECTLY UNDER MY ORIGINAL ENTRY ***

and not reply to other peoples posts, please? ;-)

"Mizu Tiger Mint Tea"

GREAT work. Have you or any readers identified who makes/(made?) the "Mizu Tiger Mint Tea" tee and where it might be available for purchase? Thanks.

Re: "Mizu Tiger Mint Tea"

Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry to say neither I nor any reader so far has identified the "Mizu Tiger Mint Tea" t-shirt.
House has had it for years now as well, which makes it more and more unlikely that anyone will still find it. Sorry. I wish I could help.

Hugh Laurie Shirt

Wow! You've got quite the collection of House shirts!

What about Hugh Laurie shirts?
such as...
http://www.picapp.com/ftp/Preview/0054/hugh_laurie_Picapp_54292.jpg
and
"http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/11_04/laurieDM2511_468x1010.jpg"

I could swear I've seen the first one in stores!

Very cool anyways!

Re: Hugh Laurie Shirt

Thanks for your kind feedback. :-)

Re: Hugh Laurie shirts. Uhm... I know a couple of them, but, to be honest, I don't feel comfortable posting about them, as it would inevitably lead to me also posting pictures taken by paparazzi.
