C&C California Faded Tunic

January 18, 2007

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 [...]

Cotton Filter: 170107

January 18, 2007

Shiftcore Studios: A tee, for $5, need more reasons to check that link out? [via HipHipUK] Pop Junkie: Cool designs that aren’t necessarily printed onto plain tees, which I’m not usually a fan of, but they seem to have done it well. [via teees] Competition: Not too long left to enter the Dirty Microbe competition. [...]

Catering for all ages

January 16, 2007

No Demo is a small indie company that launched in 2006. Whilst their site is a bit sparse at the moment, the thing that matters the most, tees, certainly isn’t lacking in quality. I can’t really decide what kind of style it is that No Demo has so I can’t really compare them to anyone [...]

The Edison Sweatshirt @ the Karma Wares Boutique

January 16, 2007

This hoodie looks pretty crazy, am I right? But even though the design is fairly in your face, I don’t think it’s all that brash, probably due to the subdued colourway. Blurb! “Hooded sweatshirt with allover “Edison” print and brand logo on front left chest, kangaroo pockets at front waist, ribbed finish at waistband and [...]

Threadless Pick: Moon Kite

January 16, 2007

It was a real toss-up between ‘Moon Kite’ and ‘Growth for the Sake of Growth‘ (from the Select line) this week, but I eventually sided with Monn Kite since, it’s cheaper, doean’t confuse me as much as those crabs (so over my head), and is available as a long sleeve tee, which is what HYA [...]

It wroks!

January 16, 2007

Even though I’ve never mentioned them before, I utterly love Wrongroks. I don’t really know why, but everything about their designs ticks my boxes. I also really like the idea of a ‘traditional’ artist putting their work onto clothing (I’m presuming the canvas came before the cotton), it just feels like it makes art a [...]

Competition! With Dirty Microbe

January 12, 2007

I was really impressed with the tee I reviewed from Dirty Microbe last month, so I’m proud that they’re involved in Hide Your Arms’ first ever competition. Here’s the Japanese themed prize package: – 1 x ‘That’s how I roll‘ t-shirt – 1 x Lifetime 25% off discount card – 1 x Japanese bubbly beer [...]

Defend Brooklyn

January 12, 2007

Yeah, it’s pretty damned ubiquitous, but I still think it’s cool. I was actually reminded about the design when I was watching an old episode of Mythbusters this morning (the one with ‘killer quicksand’). And some guy also wrote a story several years ago about how he struggled to get one of these tees, it’s [...]

Chateau Roux shines again

January 12, 2007

I got an e-mail from Dave at Chateaux Roux letting me know about their latest extremely limited edition tees. I actually had to e-mail back to make sure that I’d read it correctly. I suppose you’re wondering what exaclty had confused me. Well, here it is: “…part of our ‘limited edition’ range of tees to [...]

Livin’ XLarge

January 12, 2007

I know it’s been on a few of the other tee blogs already, but I thought I’d better inform those of you lucky enough to live in California that XLarge are having a sample sale at their store this weekend. Yes, I am talking about a real bricks and mortar store. Here’s some blurb: “The [...]

This month’s question is: “What is the most FANTASTIC thing that has ever happened ever?” You just need to go to this page of their blog, and leave your [...]

Merchandising 101 with Spreadshirt

January 11, 2007

I know that quite a lot of people who read this blog actually produce and sell products themselves, so even though this post is a bit off topic it will appeal to some of you. Spreadshirt, an online merchandising company that hosts many online shops, are going to be holding the first in a series [...]

What a bombshell!

January 11, 2007

I’ve said it before (probably) and I’ll say it again, Digital Gravel produce the goods time and time again, even if they go for stuff that’s more streetwear orientated than I usually cover. Today’s hoodie pick is no exception. I know there are lots of people out there that are obsessed with sneakers, so this [...]

Cotton, it just, Werks

January 10, 2007

Usually, I wouldn’t post a tee site that has just one design available for purchase. But I’ve got a pretty good feeling about Cotton Werks, maybe it’s the fact that their designs are reminiscent of good submissions at Threadless, maybe it’s the soothing use of blue all over the site, but I like’m. There’s also [...]

Weekly Threadless Pick: Threadless

January 9, 2007

I’m thinking of making a regular (some would say weekly) feature of my favourite Threadless product of the week. Tell me if you think this idea sucks in the comments. The inaugural pick is actually pretty old-school, well, as old-school as a 7 year-old company can get. Sure, it’s faux-stitched (puff ink, apparently), but that [...]

The Cotton Filter – 090107

January 9, 2007

YackFou: They’ve got a really cool theme running over the next three months. T-shirts designed for a fictional band known as ‘The Yackfous’. It’s an idea that I toyed with back at uni, and I still have a fake album promo-poster that one of my housemates made for a fictitious emo band, if I remember [...]

Little by Little

January 9, 2007

Oh golly gosh, Little By Jenny is quite the find! I could have posted pretty much anything from the hoodie section and you’d have been in for a treat. I can’t really think of a reason why I picked this design over the other two available, but it just jumped out at me a bit [...]

HYAs Top Picks from the Karmaloop sale

January 5, 2007

Karmaloop‘s current sale has hunrdeds and hundreds of items at knocked-down prices, so I’ve tried to take some of the work out of it for you by picking some of my favourite items. Two for guys, two for girls, all with some blurb: Paul Frank – Brown Bear Shooting hoodie: Fully zippered, well lined hoody, [...]

Brooklyn Industries: Awesome sale

January 5, 2007

Brooklyn Industries, the purveyors of fine clothing goods, are having a big sale with big discounts. Helpfully, they’ve categorised the products into price categories, although those categories don’t meet each other in the middle, which is weird (eg $10-19 followed by $29-39, odd?). They’ve got the Griffin Instaria jumper that I mentioned a while back [...]

I’m such a Chunky monkey

January 5, 2007

The guys over at Chunky Threads may only have five designs available at the moment but the seem to have kicked things off with some fun, cheeky, and most importantly, quality designs. There’s definitely a popculture aspect to all their designs, with tees focusing on Mr. T and Chuck Norris, except for a change the [...]
