Another day, another great find on Karmaloop. If you’ve ever wanted to channel your inner Jackson Pollock then this hoodie might be for you. It’s funny how I don’t really think of this as a messy design when that’s kind of its aim, but it seems surprisingly sophisticated for something that is essentially just flicks and specks of paint. I wonder if each hoodie has different patterns of paint, that would be cool. Oh yeah, the paint is on the front and back too, which helps keep up the authenticity of the look.

It always give me a good feeling to be able to promote good UK tee stores, since they tend not to get as much exposure as their more numerous American counterparts. It’s even better when they’ve got sales going on.

Chateau Roux: Up to 45% off their excellent quality tees (and a few other items too). So to all those people who mistakenly believe that you’re getting ripped by their prices, now if your chance to grab some CR.

Urban Retro: If I’m totally honest, I’d never checked out Urban Retro before, but now that I’ve given them a good look it’s obvious I should’ve done earlier. They’ve got some great designs from a variety of well-respected labels, and at up to 70% off on selected items you really can’t argue with the price.

Both sales last up until the end of the month.

Why is poker and other forms of gambling so popular nowadays? It just seemed to come from nowhere, and now if you stay up past midnight you’ll struggle to avoid someone wearing an unfortunate shirt and ridiculous sunglasses on TV. That’s right, my beef is not with the social implications od people gambling away their savings, I just don’t want anything getting in the way of sitcom reruns!

Of course, it’s mostly poker on TV, so I’ve got no problem with Craps, which means I’m allowed to like this hoodie featuring a Craps table print from Upper Playground. The print all over the hood really aids the overall look, it probably would have sucked if they went half-assed on the hood, but the flow of the image seems to be spot on. I don’t know how you all feel about me using blurbs when I find a hoodie on DG, but since this name-checks Wesley Snipes (which was a ‘check your calendar’ moment for me) I really can’t help myself:

“Now you can always bet on black, just like Wesley Snipes said to, with this gambling-themed custom cut & sew zip-up. 100% polyester (not fleece). Features a gold, black, red and white craps table print all over the top torso, shoulder panels, and hood. White Upper Playground logo embroidery over that in white on the front left. Sick dice embroidery on the top of the hood in black and white. Also features a dope metal walrus zipper pull.”

Anyone know what film they’re referencing with ‘always bet on black’?

Ok, I’m not exactly going to be adding a ‘tunic’ category to the sidebar, but I thought you might appreciate a change of pace.

Whilst I do think this looks nice, I’m really struggling to think of a decent description, so I’m afraid that you’re going to have to make do with this rather boring bit of blurb:

• Color - Faded Black
• 100% cotton
• Slit sides
• Open V front with hood
• Drawstring babydoll seam

And yes, two hot models in two days, shoot me.
