Wolf T-Shirt The Hottest Clothing Item on Amazon

200905230411.jpg A wolf t-shirt on Amazon quickly became the #1 seller in clothing recently, defying all expectations. The reasons may have more to do with humorous reviews (read this one, for example), and the New Moon connection may be tenuous at best, but the Washington Post has picked up on the story and noted

The company certainly doesn’t mind the shirt’s recent uptick in sales: “Three Wolf Moon” is sold out, and the Mountain has started printing up a fresh batch. It seems that the wolf theme was growing in popularity even before the Internet hipsters descended, McGloin said.

“Wolf shirts are super hot right now,” he said. “It’s the year of the wolf, I guess.”

Check out the kickin’ shirt on Amazon to see what all the hubbub is about.

[thanks, Sarawr & Jenny!]

  • marie_virtuoso

  • Carol

    of course im partial to the fact that my niece designed them. (how sad is it that my niece is equally as addicted to this site as i am?) lol
  • Im glad i saw this then:) I actually designed a tshirt based on Eclipse but ive been debating about whether i should let them post it on here or not
  • Gioia
    lol at the amazon tshirt review..."it will change your life?" hm.
  • missbcullen
    I'm sorry I don't understand the fuss?
    I mean, it's a t shirt with wolves howling at the moon. I don't know if it's just an American thing but I live in England and if I was walking down the street with that on people would just be like 'hey, she likes wolves :/ ' not 'hey that girl likes new moon!' And there must be hundreds of t shirts with wolves on them, why's this one so special? No offence intended by the way so don't take this comment badly
  • vanessa_thp
    add Goodbye Friendship Hello Heartache by Cinematic Sunrise to my list for jacob songs
  • vanessa_thp
    i know its way too pop-y
    but i was listening to Where is your Boy Tonight by Falloutboy
    and the lyrics sort of resemble to what jacob feels in new moon
    its a long shot but hows it for sountrack material?
  • As an own of 3 different wolf shirts I can say I would buy this.


    Dear Summit,

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Take that you vamp loving dunderheads!

    Love always,

    TWP
  • .....aaaannnnd

    P.S.
    Boo-yah, someone else is laughing all the way to the bank on wolves, that's what you get Summit for withholding our Jakey half nakey Poster!!!
  • lol yeah! I do like that shirt though. I'll have to check out the Discovery Channel story at the beach for wolf stuff. Anything is better than nothing.

    Typo above : owner not own *facepalm*
  • Huh? Discovery Channel story at the beach for wolf stuff.? Enlighten me RevTWP? I don't wanna miss anything on wolves either.

    So last night it was a warm evening and decided to leave window open (I live in the rockymountains btw) I HEARD WOLVES howling! hehe I decided to humor my crazy obsessesed twi-brain and got up to open the window a lil' wider :( No jakey half nakey came in, haha. But the imagination worked awesome,lol
  • store* lol not story. Good lawd I need some sleep. My spelling is worse than usual lol. *facepalm* I go on a family vacation every year, aunts/uncles/cousins/grandparents/all of us....head to Myrtle Beach, SC. They have a Discovery Channel store there.

    lol. You are so lucky. The best nature like sound I have at night at the itty bitty squirrels squeaking. Not quite as euphoric as wolves howling. I would have giggled like crazy.
  • Oh ok,lol!! I think we're all loosing brain cells here TWP, when I saw "beach" I think La Push First Beach, when you say "wolves"
    my mind pictures wolves of the 2 legged species,lmao
    *facepalm*
    I need a vacation too. Tell me, will you go on a search for a beached-sun-bleached log? haha*thinks to self..stop it,stop it, stop thinkin twi*
    Anyhow, your family vacation to the Myrtle beach sounds super fun, lucky 4 u too to be near a beach. I'm trying to do something similar with my fam at some lakehouse in our hometown, so hopefully.
  • lol! I think we all are too. I'm going on a search for cliff divers!! Preferabally tall...tanned....beefy...cliff divers....maybe their shorts will pop off.
    I love family vacation lol. We have been going since before I was born. And I'm in my 20s. It's SO cool. We don't do hotels we stay at a camp ground. 1 person hauls their camper, the rest of us rent our own trailers (haha!!!!)....so we meet for breakfast...caravan down there....we all have the hand held radios to talk....typically it's hard for the "adults" (pffft my family forgets they aren't teens anymore) to contact the "kids. My cousin and brothers are in the car with me (I drive, my car is bigger lol) so we're blasting music, dancing, singing...then we hear the radio call "turn the damn music down"! bwahaha.

    Yeah I'm sure everyone wanted to hear that. 6 DAYS TILL THE BEACH! I know y'all will miss me...I hope.
  • lol, well if you do find yourself a pack of tall-tanned-beefy divers, remember your wolf girls and share, take pics and post 'em at the hangout ok?!

    TWP, hehe, your family holiday...that sounds like sooo much fun, is a bonfire and storytelling part of the fun? I wanna goooo!!!!

    awww, sure, sure, of course we will most definitely miss you.
    I was wondering if you'll be going through withdrawal symptoms with no nmm.org, but now that you described the fun with your very own La Push gang...nah you won't miss all this here.

    Have tons of fun!!!!
  • IHowl2 - The ONLY Samske Girl

  • IHowl2 - The ONLY Samske Girl

    I'm always nice! =D *points to halo*

    And I love my blood suckers! Thank you very much! =D They're better than your dogs! Just admit it! haha
  • IHowl2 - The ONLY Samske Girl

    Boo ya!
  • KellansONLYGirl
    oops, I guess being nice didn't last long! haha

    my bad! lol =D
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Jakey™??? really? hahaha

    anyways, yeah well at least Kellan's scent isn't wet dog and toilet water! haha =P
  • IHowl2 - The ONLY Samske Girl
    LOL! I appreciate you not saying dogs!!

    Kellan is as perfumed for you as Jakey™ is for me!!! LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    haha!
    Nah, you just have to keep them away from the wolves and they'd forever be holy!! (Note I didn't say dogs, I feel like being nice for a change! haha)
    And btw, anything Kellan related could NEVER stink! mmmmmm!! lol
  • I read this article and saw it hadn't been posted yet so i emailed it to the new moon girls...I find it hilarious that New Moon NOR twilight was mentioned anywhere in the article...its a "duh" thing that they are either ignoring on purpose or don't seem to get. I'm a team Emmett fan but I love wolves and think they are amazing creatures. I actually have a friend who's in love with wolves and works at a print company who makes lots of shirts. She made me and my group of friends one with her company name and a wolf on it. It's pretty cool.
  • rachelxmichelle
    Lol after looking at that shirt I was browsing through other shirts and I noticed that (im pretty sure anyways) that the guy who played Sam in Twilight is modeling shirts for American Apparel on Amazon.com lol. Solomon Trimble I think his name is. I noticed him right away thought it was kinda funny.

    But anyways I really like the shirt. My grandfather would love it, he has wolf stuff all over the house.
  • this is really kool...... and pretty.......
    i wish they make a shirt with the wolves and vamps.... cause i LOVE them both
  • Haha, I already have this shirt :)
    I got it up north in Sudbury. I think. When I went for a road trip last year.
    ( I live in Ont. Canada )

    There was sooo many!
    I love wolves :)
  • Jessi
    The first thing I did when I saw this posted was let my head drop to the desk.

    I work for the main company that sells and ships these shirts from Amazon.com (we don't make them, we just get them to the customers) and the hype on that shirt has been insane.

    In a way, I'm amused by all of it. But I have to admit, being in the middle of an internet phenomenon kind of sucks the energy right out of you. :P
  • anen
    hahaha did you guys go to the website. There's a pic of Barack Obama wearing it xD he's a Wolf fan! ahahaha You can't go wrong there
  • Dude thats sweet!
  • like we don't know the real reason as to why this shirt is selling real fast lol
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Hehe... how nice... a shirt for the pups... yay... lol... I hope the wolf girls are happy!! I think I'll stick to my vamps ;-)
  • StarlitHowl--Team Sexy Mango
    Wow, take a look at the customer images. Some really funny stuff going on there LOL! Better than some of the reviews haha!
  • suitejuju
    O
    O
    O
    I want one!
  • it's hilarious how people always connected shirts like that with weird nerds & now they're popular, haha. i wouldn't buy that shirt. i might buy a jacob tee when we get some at the tizzle in august. yeah, AUGUST. new moon merch @ hot topic in august. ;D
  • CullenWannabe
    Are you kidding me? That' so crazy. I guess if you're a fan of the wolf pack you'd want it & seeing how I'm not I would have no desire for it. (I'm a much bigger Cullen Family fan than some stupid dogs. Except for Seth, I love Seth.) These remind me of shirts little kids wear. And if you wait till closer to November I'm sure with the official merchandise you can get some wolf shirts.
  • StarlitHowl--Team Sexy Mango
    Its crazy? Sure, sure. Kids shirts? Not specifically--I've seen plenty of adult shirts like this--especially at Discovery or Nat'l Geographic stores, etc. But I'm sure people buy thier kids stuff like this too, why not lol?

    I think people tend to forget that things can be pretty popular w/out the influence of the Twilight Saga. Not saying that everyone that bought this shirt just happened to like it, I'm sure Twilighters have given it a nice boost in sales (especially now that its been featured here on NMM.org). But really its a pretty shirt & wolves have always been immensely popular animals ("stupid dog" shirts don't sell for crap) even w/out the aid of The Pack.

    There's a huge Save the Wolves campaign going on since many species are now endangered. Personally, I loved wolves before the Pack & I'll love them after the Pack, I'd buy this shirt simply because it's a nice looking tribute to an intelligent & beautiful creature that may not be found anywhere (other than on the net & in books), much longer.

    Wait till November? Why? If you like it, back order it. You can still buy New Moon merch' in Nov. Every little bit helps the economy afterall? lol!
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Wolves are definitely popular outside of Twilight. My sister (a vamp girl) loves wolves. She has wolve pictures, paintings, figurines, posters, all kinds of crazy wolf stuff.

    She would love this shirt, so with or without "The Pack," this shirt def holds a greater significance.
  • KellansONLYGirl
    And let me just add! I remember a girl (abby0936) who got banned for saying stuff like this! So I'd watch what you're saying! haha
  • utopia76
    Did you guys read one of the cutomers reviews hahahahaha the first one it was sooooo funny
  • i like the shirt it is really cool
  • Cheryl
    OMG... a friend sent me an e-mail about this shirt a few weeks ago, simply because the reviews were freakin' hilarious!
  • jakeyMYjakey (JMJ)
    OMFG!! this is sooooo cool!!! im soooo gonna get one of these shirt!!

    *going to amazon.com to place my order* LOL!
  • rovity
    Boo...lol. I am a vampire fan. Team Edward!
  • ROB'S MA KINDA MAN!
    Ohhhhh awesome!!! I bet for some wearing that shirt is guna make those feel like part of the wolf pack team now! Represent!!!
  • karis1020

  • No thanx.
    Love vamps more

    Shirt looks wicked though.
  • Livvy_Kate
    This is probably the closest to first im gonna get, so i'll just celiebrate now.

    Woohoo!!
  • loving the shirt
  • Whitneee (aka CB's Angel) 3/09
    congrats on almost first!!! :)
  • Livvy_Kate
    Lol. Thanks. Im never gonna get 1st cause this is an American site so wheneva new things are posted I'm usually asleep! :( I'm here in Australia.
  • Livvy_Kate
    I love this shirt! I would so wear it. No wonder it's sold out.

    I'm totally a wolf fan. Team Jacob!
  • Whitneee (aka CB's Angel) 3/09
    uh oh...i think this one creeper guy in one of my classes has this shirt...it's cool but we need the vamp version too :)
  • StarlitHowl--Team Sexy Mango
    A vamp version? Bats? LOL!

    Sorry, couldn't resist! Not being mean, I'm just naturally a smartass, but since this isn't an actual piece of Twilight or New Moon merch', I'm curious as to what you'd look for as the Vamp version?

    Of course you could always just make a shirt w/your fave vamps on it, should be pretty easy to do at Cafe Press or Zazzle or something. I'm still waiting on Demetri pics' so I can make myself a Demetri tee :D
  • Whitneee (aka CB's Angel) 3/09
    yes a vamp tee would probably look ridiculous LOL...I'm a fellow smartass so it's cool ;)...if you make a Demetri tee, send me one hahaha!!! He's delish...
  • I have a friend who loves the wolves and he has several t-shirt like this... maybe soon I will be able to steal one from his wardrobe LOL
  • chelsarticus
    YAY
  • TaylorVon
    oooh pretty
