In A Paddy
The Film: Shane Meadows' social-realist take on the slasher flick, Dead Man's Shoes (2004)
The Reference: A striking silhouette of Paddy Considine's Richard, the ex-army vet who exacts brutal revenge on the Midlands gang who terrorised his mentally challenged brother.
Why It's Cool: An iconic image that chills and thrills in equal measure, it's a reminder that homegrown cinema can still compete with Hollywood.
Where? Plastic Revolution
Civic Duty
The Film: David Cronenberg's hallucinatory horror about the ultimate video nasty, Videodrome (1983)
The Reference: Civic TV is the name of the cable channel run by James Woods which, as he puts it, dispenses "everything from softcore sex to hardcore violence."
Why It's Cool: Cronenberg's a master of icy irony, and there's a delicious contrast between the banal name and the actual content behind it. Wear this, and those in the know will realise it's really a case of "long live the new flesh."

Prepare To Die
The Film: Rob Reiner's witty post-modern pastiche of ye olde swashbucklers, The Princess Bride (1987)
The Reference: The film's most oft-quoted line (delivered by Mandy Patinkin's vengeful swordsman), albeit here in a more everyday context.
Why It's Cool: The playful dig at rubbish office-drone meet 'n' greets only reinforces Montoya's swaggering panache and romanticism. That said, if somebody actually tried this at a corporate away-day you'd beg them as a David Brent-esque dickhead straight away.
Where? Think Geek
Royale With Bleed
The Film: Japanese schoolkid slaughter fest Battle Royale (2000)
The Reference: One of the film's many, many bloodily balletic kill scenes.
Why It's Cool: It shouldn't be cool at all, but graphic design whizzes Airside have turned clinical violence into a boldly beautiful statement for exploitation freaks everywhere.
Better still, Airside is an equal opportunities killer: there's another design of a male classmate getting KO'd, too.
Where? Usually, www.airsideshop.com but it's currently being renovated so you might need to shop around.
Ker-Chang!
The Film: Ron Underwood's rip-roaring B-movie spoof about killer worms, Tremors (1990)
The Reference: It's the name of the shop in the besieged town of Perfection, Nevada where Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward et al hole up.
Why It's Cool: Usually, the trend towards putting in-film logos onto a tee doesn't extend past the obvious classics.
Tremors , however, is the right side of obscure; it's familiar enough to wow retro-heads, but offbeat enough to score serious nerd brownie points.
Where? Wake Up Time To Die
Vertical Frogger
The Film: Paul Thomas Anderson's epic urban singalong, Magnolia (1999)
The Reference: The film's leftfield ending, as a Biblical plague of frogs descends to put an unlikely stop to the characters' stories.
Why It's Cool: The evocative design from Weadmire is an attention-grabbing mix of nature and technology which remains as esoteric, eccentric and engaging as the film did when we first saw it.
Where? Weadmire.net
Playtime
The Film: David Fincher's playfully paranoid thriller, The Game (1997)
The Reference: Consumer Recreation Services is the company Sean Penn hires to give brother Michael Douglas a birthday he won't forget.
Why It's Cool: Trying to out-geek your mates by smuggling the most unlikely and unusual movie ref onto your torso is something of a game in itself. So this one's like well meta or something.
Where? The appropriately named Arcane Projects
Under Your Wing
The Film: The Paul Rudd / Seann William Scott comedy about men behaving badly, Role Models (2008)
The Reference: Sturdy Wings is the mentoring programme Rudd and Scott are assigned to as community service.
Why It's Cool: It looks safe, comforting, a bit religious. To the outsider, it might look like you're a member of a cult.
Really, though, it's a secret handshake that you're prone to bad behaviour.
Where? 8 Ball
Worth A Million Bucks
The Film: Walter Hill's askew take on whether greed really is good, Brewster's Millions (1985)
The Reference: It's the baseball team that Richard Pryor's Brewster pitches for when he's told he'll inherit a fortune if he can deliberately lose $30 million in a month.
Why It's Cool: Wearing a sporting team's colours is a badge of tribal loyalty.
Here, it has a double meaning: a show of faith in 80s comedy, and a reminder that money isn't everything.
Where? Last Exit To Nowhere
Going Rogue
The Film: Walter Hill again, amazingly; this time his gangland chase movie The Warriors (1979).
The Reference: The Rogues are the ultimate bad-asses in the film's convention of bad-assery.
Why It's Cool: A typically stylish take on a much-loved cult classic from Dark Bunny Tees, this frames the Rogues' distinctive skeletal logo as a brand.
If this beer actually existed, we'd drink it.
Where? Dark Bunny Tees
Idris Elba was so dedicated to voicing Knuckles for Sonic 3, he recorded the lines while wearing Knuckles gloves
Jim Carrey used to shun sequels to "move on and do something new" but changed his mind when playing Robotnik in the Sonic movies: "I'd like to have a character that I could sit with for a bit"
