The Cotton Filter – 200706

by Andy on July 20, 2006

It’s been too long:

La Fraise + Spreadshirt: Interesting noises coming from HipHipUK (new UK based tee blog) that the popular French submission-competition tee company La Fraise has been bought out by Spreadshirt. I can’t find any corroboration on this at the moment, but it’s an interesting move on the part of Spreadshirt since they already have a design competition running in the form of Derbz.

Yabbos: May I predict that these guys will receive a level of Oddica-esque love from bloggers for the next month or so? They’ve got some good designs (sometimes in the Threadless style), and more importantly, they’ve got a name that you like to say, and will remember. I’m not too hot for their site design and layout though (aren’t they using the same font as That 70s Show?).

Chateauroux: As mentioned in this weeks gossiptastic mailout of Popbitch, so they don’t exactly need my promotion, but they do have some hot tees, even though they’re a bit pricey for my tastes.

Rokko: Limited to a maximum of 15 pieces per design, so exclusive that if you ever see someone else wearing one you’ll do a double-take so fast you may well break your neck.

When diets attack, vol. VII

With all the amazing weather I’ve been enjoying I almost forgot to post… sozzle, but at least I have a great hoodie to make up for my forgetfullness.

The idea of putting a life-size skeleton onto a piece of clothing is hardly original, I even saw Pete Wentz (the SFOB that gets me lots of google traffic) wearing a skeleton tee on the front of a UK magazine called Rock Sound, but I’ve got to pay waffo their dues and applaud the quality of design in their release. Unlike most offerings, this hoodie has the skeleton from both a front a rear view, admittedly no one is going to think you’re an actual skeleton, but it looks pretty sweet nonetheless.
