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.

1Okay, not to spoil the beans here but even though this is a much sought-after hoodie it is in no way limited. Hang tight for about 2 weeks and you’ll be able to find this anywhere LRG is sold - and for the affordable retail price of $110. I thought it was pretty messed up that KL sold this for more than double the retail price. I understand supply and demand but what looks like price-gouging from a major internet retailer deserves some explanation.

2Hmmmm, I didn’t realise that the RRP was $110, it seems odd that KL would put a $150 premium on a hoodie, especially when most of their stuff seems reasonably priced.
*Looking into it further, there’s a post on Karmaloop’s own blog mentioning the RRP of $110, and that a promo shirt sold on eBay for $275, so it does seem odd that they’d be selling it for eBay-esque prices*

5I see $280? How can the price rise? Ridiculous price for a hoodie, even if it does glow in the dark.

6Been wanting to buy this hoodie for a while now, but I’m not a baller or a baggy dresser, let alone a black male. The reason I bring it up is because out of every picture I see on the net, it’s only african americans sporting this awesome hoodie. I’m not trying to sound negative or racial, but it’s like a white boy wearing Echo unlimited, or Sean Jean, you know? What does everybody else think?

8Ben,
Hey brotha, I hear ya. It’s just like the Volcom and Billabong. You aint gonna see any of us wearing it. But this Hoody is off the hook and it suites anyone who diggs it. Come on everyone, yall agree?

9So, Ben, Brian, any reason why your comments both come from the same IP address?
