The Poncey Hoodie by Artful Dodger

AS7-K33zoom1 The Poncey Hoodie by Artful Dodger

I had written up a whole post about how this is a really simple and understated hoodie with a few cool details, like how the zip is the same light blue colour as the drawstring, and then I looked at the picture of the back of the hoodie. Oh. It’s criz-azy. But it’s still pretty cool, even if I think I would have preferred for the back to be as subdued as the front.

Threadless Pick: Mr Toxic Waste

mrtoxicwaste Threadless Pick: Mr Toxic Waste

(Damn you product pic with text on it which only makes sense on the actual product page!)

This post is about 3 days late because of the London trip but in the interests of trying to make it a regular feature I thought I’d post anyway, that and I always love getting a few streetteam points.

My choice this week is ‘Mr. Toxic Waste‘, and not only because it glows in the dark, which is such a cool idea with this subject matter, but because the design has a wonderful hand drawn quality that is so often lacking in Threadless releases. Although when they do put out tees in this style, I usually like them, so maybe its just a personal thing.

Hey, is it weird that in my weekly Threadless updates I don’t include thumbnails of all the tees, or does me only showing you my favourite give it more value?

Usually I’m not a fan of splash pages, if I’m going to a site, I’ve already got a pretty good idea of whats going to be there, so I don’t really need a page with some blurb on it and a few pictures enticing me to click through. I just wanna see the goods!

But Antidote have taken another way which is pretty cute, and shows that they care about their customers. On their front page, the first thing most people will see, they have pictures of their customers of the week, which I think is a pretty cool move (although the page could possibly do with the touch of a seasoned web designer). I’ve actually used the ‘myspace angled’ picture of Melissa (the current customer of the week) for todays recommendation.

I don’t always know what to think of Antidote’s drug free/vegan/sXe stance, but I do like some of their designs, especially the ones that allow for open and ambiguous interpretation. That’s one of the main reasons why I like the simplicity of the ‘my actions change the world’, that and the text is in one of my favourite fonts (I think). Simple product, big meaning, attractive girl wearing it, what’s not to like?
