Streetwear-websites.com launches

layout 02 Streetwear websites.com launches

One of my frustrations with internet-based clothes shopping is that there isn’t a big site that rates and ranks stores, and I was going to make one myself until I realised I had no idea what I was doing (no, really, I even made a sub-domain for it), but then along comes Streetwear-websites to beat me to the punch. Here’s some background blurb and a short explanation of the site:

Streetwear-Websites.com is the big brother of Sneaker-websites.com and is out there to collect the best streetwear related websites and resources. If you really want to know what’s up and what’s online check streetwear-websites.com. We constantly add new sites if you have any suggestions just fill out the suggestion form and fire it up.

There’s a fairly sizeable amount of brands (and blogs) on there already, including many that have graced these hallowed pages. Whilst I know peoples’ views on streetwear is largely subjective and highly opinionated, I think that rating stores and blogs is quite a good idea, it lets consumers know what’s ‘good’ out there. Just so we’re clear, I am in no way asking you to go and rank me as a perfect 5, you could, but my ego can handle the truth, we all know this blog is a 4.95 at its very best!

You can also leave comments about each of the stores/blogs which could provide a valuable tool for people researching whether they can trust a brand, and what others think of the style.

You may well notice that Streetwear-websites very much has the look and feel of a blog, this is probably because it is running on WordPress, I do wonder what this will mean for future expansion of the site since WordPress is more blog software than CMS software. Apologies for such a tech-oriented sentence, I know it isn’t really HYAs domain to comment on software.

That small concern aside, I’m really glad that there is a site like SW out there, and I encourage you all to check it out and submit your details if you own a streetwear related site and haven’t got in on the action yet.

Cotton Filter: 111206

by Andy on December 11, 2006

News you can use!

Oddica: I haven’t mentioned Oddica for a while, so you could say that I haven’t been ODing on ODdica (but that would be stupid). They’ve just had their biggest release of 2006 since their launch in May, including another great tee by Troy Paiva (the guy that takes electronics apart and gives you ‘exploded’ views of them). Oh, and they’ve got a sale on at the moment too.

False: I got an e-mail from Singapore based False saying “The new FALSE ish has dropped online.” Ish? Does that mean it’s kinda new, or that it’s kinda made by False? Anyway, it’s a fairly small collection that seems to be inspired by horror movies, and everything is black/white.

Resist Today (formerly Iron on Resistance): They’ve kept up their own ridiculously high standards with their latest releases, the mediums of which are more varied than most labels, tees, wallets, prints, pillows and… a painted spray paint can!

My way or the Hemingway
: This is a kinda funny t-shirt, although I’m not really impressed by the text style (capitalised + non-capitalised = a little bit messy). Oh, and the testimonials for the shirt are ridiculous.

All-Mighty: You know I love the AM, so even though this is tiny piece of news I’m still posting it. They’re doing free gift wrap on orders over $100 (or you can just pay $3.50 for it. Anyway, lots of cute items to pick up for girls there, and I think that their shop might have been redesigned too.

CIOOMOYOKO: Crazy name, brilliant t-shirts.
