How could I not love this? It’s another of those designs that just grabs me in some way thats hard to describe, which I understand makes me pretty weak as a writer, but sometimes there isn’t really one word to describe how I feel about an item of clothing. If there was then there would be a lot less words on this blog.

2one5 have kind of popped out of nowhere on me, a few weeks ago I had no clue they existed, and now they seem to be on every blog I peruse. It’s cool to see a collective of artists that have a real variety of styles and themes, something which is well reflected in their ever-expanding store. Their latest release is the ‘CMYK Designer Series’, which is an extremely limted run line, and all the items have been individually hand numbered, which is always nice to see. I like the ink splatters and choice of such a bold colourway on this hoodie, it kind of feels like they’ve thrown in some graffiti style, general chaos, and a bit of hip-hop-esque in-your-faceness to finish up with a well-rounded product.

My mind was made up pretty quickly when I saw this weeks releases*. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty strong crop, but there’s just something about My Playtree that really piques my interest. It’s a multi-functional tee, by which I mean you can where it pretty much anywhere and it suits the occasion, you could wear it shopping, at a bar, at a gig, hanging out with your friends, or at a restaurant (admittedly, not a very fancy restaurant), and it would just feel right somehow, kind of subtle, not screaming “look at my freakin’ awesome tee”. Also, I really think that the hollowed out tree is a great idea for a free-standing book case, expect to see it done on Instructables within the coming months (probably not by me though…).

Oh, and I love the linework too.

*A Bubbly Beginning is really cool too, though…

Yeah, I mentioned this brand about an hour ago, but sometimes you’ve just got to take a deeper look. I know there’s a lot of people out there who pull out their wallets at the mere mention of a cephalopod, so I thought you’d love this.

The front is pretty plain, with just a little Toke tag on the right kangaroo pocket (it’s a zip-up) to separate it from your standard vanilla hoodie, well, that and what looks like quite a nice cut. The main action on this hoodie is going on around the back. The concept is superb, the one-colour print and style is kind of reminiscent of instructional manuals, and the concept is just executed flawlessly. It would be pretty interesting to see this as a t-shirt, I bet it would do pretty well.
