Y’know, I’d love to be like John Cusack in High Fidelity and have a zen-like quality for crafting perfect mixtapes, but I usually find myself dumping a few recently downloaded MP3s (legal ones, well, as legal as Stereogum gets) onto a CD and burning it before I head for a night out (its a 20 minute drive to go see my friends). As such, my mixtapes are usually not well formed… (wait for the segue)
… unlike this form-fitting hoodie from Backseat Kiss Clothing (yeah, they’ve been featured before, but this is one sweet hoodie). I’m sure I’ve seen that style of design somewhere before, but knowing what retro-nostalgia fans people on the internet are, its pretty much guaranteed that I would’ve seen a tee in this style at some point. Regardless of originality, it’s still a very well made design, with a subtle working in of the brand’s name. Also, I’m a sucker for baby blue, but it does come in black if you like it that way.

I don’t know when this blog was taken over by Mr. Listy McListerson, but here goes anyway.1.
Zenorschnitzel is a great name.
2. The owner isn’t a tee artist, she’s an architect fresh out of college, but don’t all designers love putting things on soft soft cotton?
3. Firing a shotgun at a t-shirt sounds kinda stupid (and Gil Grissom will probably bust your ass for something… somehow), but I think it’s awesome, and produces a unique effect, although I’d probably prefer it if the animal prints were slightly bigger.
4. I like the idea of putting a map of America on a tee and telling me to fill colour in the states as I travel through them, it inspires the part of me that’s wanted to go on “The Great American Road Trip” (TM) since I was 18. It’s nicely designed and actually has an idea behind it, which I like to see, someone pushing the envelope (or at least trying to use a different type of envelope).
5. All the best lists have 5 parts to them.
