Tonic Clothing is an ethical clothing label, offering a range of t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies and bags. I'm not wild about a lot of the designs on the site, but I do like this Shootist t-shirt.
At first glance, you might think this is a Scarface t-shirt, but it's actually Amitabh Bachchan, star of 1979 Bollywood blockbuster The Great Gambler. The shirt is made from ethically-sourced cotton, with the design sat rather smartly at the bottom left-and corner.
Sized from small to large, you can pick one up for £2.

No real explanation needed here - this is the most memorable scene from arguably Alfred Hitchcock's most famous film - on a t-shirt.
The Psycho t-shirt from by design team Epidemik Coalition uses stills from the shower scene in the movie. If that were all, it would be pretty ordinary. But over the top and sharply contrasting the monochrome image are blood-like stains - gruesome and not to everyone's taste. But certainly eye-catching.
The t-shirt is limited to just 10 pieces - you can pick one up online for $25 (around £13).

We love Psychomania - a very British biker movie that combines two-wheel japes with some classic 70s horror. In fact, we're happy to tell the world with this Psychomania t-shirt.
It's available from the British Horror website in a variety of shapes and colours, though I quite like this retro-styled top, not unlike an old football shirt. The design is the classic gang helmet, with all the gang member names around - and of course, the movie title.
You can pick it up for £11.90
