It feels as if not a month goes by without me mentioning the good work that is being done at Naive Clothing, but after my Star-Wars-nerd blushes were spared by Josh last week over that Pete Wentz hoodie I figure I owe them one more post.
Something I like about Naive is that everything has a point, the products have a backstory, they have a manifesto/mission statement that they actually actually believe in, and they don’t want to get rich… and they’re literally putting their moeny where their mouth is on that one, by supporting six organisations with their Our Profit for their Profit programme.
There’s a lot of great stuff in their super-fresh Spring/Summer line, lots and lots of new tees, with some great designs in there. If I hadn’t banned myself from buying tees (one of my few addictions) then I’d have quite the shopping basket. But HYA is about the sleeves, so let’s get back on track.
There are 2 new sleeved products available (1 hoodie and 1 track jacket) in the Spring/Summer line, on the left is ‘Extension of Grasp‘ ($33), and has a great red/white contrast. The hoodie on the right, called ‘Outlet‘ ($30), may seem a bit familiar to fans of the O.C., but I guess that any hoodie with an electrical outlet on it will be compared to the Option-G take on the plug-socket, and I prefer Naive’s anyway.
Yep, time for me to compromise my integrity and put an affiliate link in a post under a thinly veiled claim that it’s a news item.
Threadless summer sale time, all tees $10 up until midnight (CST) May 8th. If you’re gonna buy, buy early because we all know that the announcement of a sale at Threadless pretty much sets their server on fire, and within a couple of days that tee you’ve coveted for oh-so-long will be sold out.
(Does that pic make it look like my hair is receding? It isn’t, I swear)
*STOLEN FROM PRESHRUNK* Apparently, if you enter the code SUPER TEES then you’ll get $3 dollars off your order. I haven’t tested it though, so if it doesn’t work try it without a space between the words, and if that doesn’t work, just accept that you aren’t going to get $3 off your order.

Crown Dozen marks the return of guest writers on HYA after a few weeks break, and it’s marked with a bit of a change. Instead of recommending something sleeved, Garrett is pointing out a couple of tees from HelloMinor.
FAVE CLOTHING: HelloMinor Death tee (which trumps my old fave, the
HelloMinor Love tee). For serious, HelloMinor and Mishka are the
brilliants.
Death:

Love:

WHY: All-overs are everywhere this year, but this is the one that
first made me say “DAMN, I wish I had thought of that!”
BRAND: HelloMinor
PRICE: Not yet known.
If you want to buy the Death tee you might have to wait a while since its only on sneak preview at the moment, unless you love it that much that you’ll buy about 50 on wholesale and get it now. I can’t give you the costiness but I would suspect it will be the same or near the other tees currently on sale ($20), possibly more considering it is an all-over print, .
Thanks again to Garrett at Crown Dozen for getting involved.
