Well, I guess you must have expected me to write about the ‘Dead Serious’ hoodie from LRG, and what kind of hoodie-blogger would I be if I didn’t pass comment on ‘the most hyped hoodie of all time’?

For starters, this hoodie is SOLD OUT at Karmaloop (their stock lasted about 4 hours), and probably everywhere else on the net, so I’ll keep my ear to the ground and post a notice when I hear that they’re available again. Here’s the blurb:

The details are sick, a glow in the dark anatomically correct skeleton printed on the back and the front, covered by the rib cage is a broken heart with subtle repeat stenciling that says rotten, just like you to the core. But nothing tops the full zip hoody, with mesh eye holes so you can rock the full skull head and still not bump into walls. And check the gold fronts skeletor has nothing on this dude!

For what it’s worth, I think it’s a good hoodie, but I don’t think that it’s so deserving of the hype, does Kanye West really influence people’s clothing decisions that much? There’s a lot of skeleton hoodie’s around, and quite a lot of them suck, so it’s good to see that LRG have actually made a hoodie that tries something new in an already well covered area, the full-zip really helps to take the design to the next level (Anticon do a plainer full-zip if you like the style). But I would say that $260 is a fair old chunk of change when it isn’t Halloween for another 11 months.

I’m not the most organised guy, I can admit that, but forgetting to post about a brand for more than a month is pretty stupid, which is why it looks as if I’m a bit late finding out about San Francisco based label Gold Coin.

They’re currently selling their graffiti and ‘urban vinyl toy’ inspired designs at the Karmaloop Kazbah, and I think they compliment the roster well by adding in something a bit different. The hoodies aren’t really something I’d wear myself, since I usually prefer something a bit more subtle (like I’ve said, white is not my colour), but I’m sure that there’s lots of people out the that like this kind of style, that means you Shimone!

Also, to sweeten the deal a bit more (and to help you mentally justify the price), GCs designs are seriously limited in their editions, for example, there’s only 25 of the above hoodie in the whole world, so chance are you will never see anyone wearing it, but imagine how awesome it would be if you did?
