Our Exclusive New Ferris Tees Are UnBuellerevable!
On the 20th of February 1987, (but quite a while after the yanks got their hands on it), we were first introduced to one of the most iconic characters of the decade. Someone we all wanted to be, someone who came along and did what they wanted and got away with is...if only just!
He lives the teenagers dream, getting to skive off school, drive a fast and very expensive car, and well...generally lark around with his best mates in the great city of Chicago. Who wouldn't want that right?
We are of course talking about... Ferris Bueller!
.
From the very first glimpse of the tailor we say for this film, we were in love and we sure weren't alone! Ferris later became one of the top-grossing films of the year and a true 80s classic for ever after. Not bad for a film that was written in less than a week!
With such a following and of course looking to feed our Bueller bellies with even more retro goodies, we've been hard at work creating some amazing and super exclusive new Ferris Bueller T-Shirts, this time inspired by that classic quote we all know and love.
Amazing New Out of Print T-Shirts You Literary Won't Want To Miss!
As big book lovers, we just love getting the chance to sit back, relax and dive headfirst into a good book.
You really can't beat getting lost in a story that can quickly whisk you off to another land. One moment you could be sat on a hot busy train chattering down the line, and then the next off on an weird and wonderful adventure on a tropical island or perhaps being chased through busy streets by some secret agents. Anything is possible!
It's this passion for stories that inspired one of our favourite clothing brands, Out of Print into action. Capturing some of the most iconic books and their artwork, they work closely with the creators and designers to ensure that the end result is a perfect reflection of the original classic. It certainly shows!
But wait it get's better, for each Out of Print T-Shirt sold, one book is donated to a community in need through their amazing partner, Books For Africa.
Take a look at some of our latest designs that have just hit the TruffleShuffle shelves this week....
Awesome Behind The Scenes Jaws Piccys To Sink Your Teeth Into...
We can still remember it now. Curled up on the sofa, desperately trying to grab as many pillows as we could get our hands on to hide behind, only peeping through the cracks in our fingers to catch a glimpse and quickly back again. This of course was our first 1975 classic Jaws experience and...well... we loved it!
Every once in a while a film comes along that totally changes the game, whether it's with ultra cool new revolutionary special effects, amazing acting performances, or perhaps all out shocking storylines we'll never forget. These films quickly go down in history and earn themselves the title of a classic or perhaps a retro movie icon, Jaws is certainly one of these films!
Directed by movie legend Steven Spielberg, Jaws (based on the books) follows the story of a small island community called Amity which quickly becomes the hunting ground of a huuge (no really...huge!) Great White Shark. After some odd goings on and an attack on a local boy, the mother of the latest victim put a large bounty on the sea beast's head which soon sends would-be shark hunters on the case to catch their prize, but this is only the start of the Sharks feeding frenzy....
.
Always wanting to have a little nosy into some of our favourite films, we've been doing a little swimming around the depths of the internet and have discovered some simply amazing behind the scenes shots of the great beast itself and of course the iconic cast and crew. Take a peep at some of our favourite snaps and perhaps put some of those deep blue sea fears to bed :)

Mamma Mia! 10 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About... Mario!
In honour of the absolutely amazing eighth instalment of the Mario Kart series and our fab new Mario T-Shirts, we have decided to pay tribute to Nintendo's finest icon. As a long time gamer since the NES days myself, I am very proud to present to you '10 things you (probably) didn't know about Mario!'
1 - Mario's first appearance was in the game Donkey Kong but he was originally named Jumpman. Nintendo must have realised their hero was deserving of something better and his name was changed because of an uncanny resemblance to the landlord of Nintendoâs US office, Mario Segale, who had been busy chasing Nintendo for rent money!
2 - Donkey Kong was originally intended to be a Popeye game but Nintendo couldn't secure the rights so had to create their own cast of characters. Popeye was replaced with Mario (or Jumpman), Olive Oyl with Pauline (the damsel in distress) and Bluto with Donkey Kong, a legacy was born!
3 - Mario was originally a carpenter when he appeared in Donkey Kong. Since then he became better known as a plumber but has also been a doctor, kart racer, archaeologist, referee, golfer, tennis star, typing tutor and many others. Has he no ends to his talents!
Good Grief! New DangerMouse episodes to air on TV!
"He's the greatest, he's fantastic, wherever there is danger, he'll be there!"
.
Yep this isn't a typo, the huuugely loved and classic animated show DangerMouse which followed the adventures of the worldâs greatest secret agent and his ever-nervous sidekick Penfold is set to make a comeback of on CBBC with 52 new episodes next year. Exciting!
Taking the TV by storm from back in 1981 and running all the way to 1992, DangerMouse (voiced by Sir David Jason) became one of the top shows of the 80s with a whole generation of kids turning in for their famous adventures and of course...those catchphrases :)
After over 20 years absence, DM and trusty sidekick will return this time to CBBC and will come complete with a whole heap of 21st century gadgets to help them with protect the world from the dastardly likes of Baron Greenback.
