Every cloud has a silvein lining

May 11, 2006

Most. Puntastic. Title. Ever. (wait, is that a pun?) If you’re more likely to listen to Dashboard than Death Cab, this hoodie may well be for you. It’s got a skeleton, to symbolise how you’re dead inside, and some suitably gothic text pronouncing that “we walk alone”. Now that I’ve written it, I’ve gotta give [...]

Sad facts of life: It’s not what you know its who you know My friend Garth and I were talking about Lost networking on MSN yesterday when he told me about his friends clothing label, Paint The Stars, they offer some seriously emo-tastic tees, including this sweet Mic shirt. All tees are £13.99 and that [...]

Stsy, Stussy, stussywussyussyhoodie?

May 10, 2006

It would seem that clothing manufacturer Stussy have fallen upon hard times (awww, sigh), they’ve had to resort to cutting hoodies in half and sewing it back together to make original designs, recycling all the icons that are associated with the brand. Tough times. I think you’ll agree that its pretty feakin’ sweet, its less [...]

Filed under S for Stupid

May 8, 2006

I accidentally deleted the links page, including all those affiliate links that everyone loves (they’re good stores, I swear!). I’ve re-written it from memory as best I can, but I’ve got a feeling that I’ve missed off some of the selected stores. If you think you were on there (or you want to be on [...]

Still got a heartbeat

May 8, 2006

Josh Spear (the self-proclaimed ‘pulse of cool’), has gone and re-designed and re-launched his globe-trotting blog. Josh highlights excellent design around the world, but seems to make it a bit more fun than other ‘cool blogs’ in the ‘sphere. Nice guy too, he’s gonna do a guest feature here at HYA when he finds the [...]

An Imaginary Track Jacket

May 8, 2006

Embroidery on clothing does seem to make it feel a bit more luxurious than regular screen-printing, even if excessive stitchery has a tendency to render the fabric less flexible. The Imaginary Foundation is a think-tank of free-thinkers who wanted to “eliminate set conventions in favor [sic for Brits] of the humorous, the abstract and the [...]

King Kong Shrimp love Mother Nature

May 8, 2006

KingKongShrimp have a decent female range, so I thought that I’d continue giving KKS some love by pointing out this cool ‘Creatures Great And Small’ long-sleeve T with raglan sleeves. There’s obv. a hippo being preened by some friendly birds, as is nature, and the colours compliment each other pretty sweet, what else can I [...]

King Kong Shrimp can keep my secrets

May 8, 2006

I don’t really understand what a giant human stomping robot has to do with people being able to look after my secrets, but it doesn’t stop this sweater being pretty dang fresh. Maybe its because it’s white, everything seems fresh when it’s in white. It’s a pretty big print, but since it’s just one colour [...]

Cuckoo clocks, fantastic chocolate…

May 4, 2006

We also may well have found someone that ties with me as hottest product model in the history of HYA. Yeah, your right, she ain’t got nuffin on me. This hoodie [...]

Myspace makes me feel young

May 4, 2006

Yeah, HYA got a Myspace, but I swear its just for networking, since loads of companies have them and release bulletins that will really make my job here easier. So if you’re a clothing company, add me as a friend and I’ll be able to keep tabs on your updates. And if you’re just a [...]

I can’t see you

May 4, 2006

Rosie Robinson, who was featured earlier in the week has some cool new customised light-weight jackets in her eBay Store. They’re camo fabric with large designs on the back (mostly), from what I can tell it looks like an extra bit of fabric with the screen print has been sewn onto the back, a style [...]

Always different

May 4, 2006

FOHYA (Friend of HYA, and yes, why abbreviate if you’re going to explain) Shimone from San-Fran-centric blog Jungle Life tipped me off to a cool hoodie by a band. Usually I try and steer clear of band merch since a lot of people wouldn’t want to wander around with a band they’d never heard of [...]

Spike, pivot, jab

May 2, 2006

It’s always nice when you can steal someone else’s research and just tag the original author’s name on it so that you can’t be called a plagiariser (sp? is that even a word?). But I still have my morals, so I’m just gonna make this an extra post for today, rather making it tomorrow’s post. [...]

Robots Rule (that’s how Rosie rolls)

May 2, 2006

Yay, a British designer! It’s an interesting design today, a bit different to the usual, so I’m pretty excited about it. It uses what Rosie describes as a “sewing-drawing technique” where she creates freehand style drawings with a sewing-machine, pretty nifty, eh? It looks more like an alien than a a robot to me, well, [...]

Naive Clothing Spring/Summer Line 2006

May 1, 2006

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 [...]

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 [...]

Not a t-shirt blog: C12 says hi

May 1, 2006

Blog-o-cool 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).
