I like Karmaloop, its like a Gap for indie people, whilst the stuff they sell isn’t quite as individual as I usually run here, you’re still pretty much guaranteed to buy something that’s cool…
… like this robot hoodie by Ames Bros, with a design that invokes images of 1950s wind-up toys and sci-fi movies from times when ‘we’ had never been into space.
It pains me to say it, but I think that this design would actually be better if it was a bit faded, and I do not like the idea of fake-vintage, but sometimes it just looks better. Oh, and there’s a cool little Ames Bros logo on the side of the hood.
Costiness=$36 from Karmaloop.
*I’M TOO GOOD YOU/LAMEST COMPETITION EVER* I have a $10 coupon for anything at Karmaloop that I’m not going to use before it becomes invalid (within the next couple of months), so I will give it to whoever e-mails me. Try and make the e-mail cool though, maybe a hoodie tip, a picture, or just tell me I’m awesome.
Have a good weekend everyone, I know I will, I’m heading to Manchester for the Give It A Name Festival to sit in an arena full of emo-scene kids.
