I really love the idea behind the polaroid camera, when you take a picture with it you immediately have something tangible in your hands, and even though I don’t think I’ll ever buy or even use a film camera again, I enjoy having real prints of my photos, its not really the same telling people to look at my Flickr gallery when I can take an envelope of photos to someones house and we can look at them and talk about them together. Yeah, Flickr is social, but there’s nothing like getting together with real people to reminisce.

That was a bit abstract for a tee review, but I think that key to PDCs designs is that they trigger a nostalgic reaction from people who are probably slightly older than me (yeah, I remember that polaroid model, but I love old tech).

People really seem to like these micro prints that PDC are doing, usually my friends don’t take that much notice of my tees, except for saying “another new tee? When are you gonna get something that’ll fit me?” but these tees are actually generating quite a lot of interest, and whilst it is quite weird to be sat a table in a pub with people looking at your chest (unless you’re a girl, obviously) I think it says a lot about the quality of design in these tees.

As ever, quality is top notch.

The name says it all really. Bunnies. Chainsaws. Genius.

I guess the name doesn’t really say it all since there’s an eagle holding the chainsaw in its mighty talons, but then I wouldn’t have been able to use that zippy one-word sentence typing. The employment of a hand drawn style does suit this kind of surreal animal and object pairing, although I do find the way that there are three different drawing styles quite odd, they don’t seem to fit together perfectly.

I dig this jacket, largely because it has the feel of an old-school training jacket from a football (… real football) team back in the 70s, yet I really don’t associate X-Large with football style or culture. Admittedly, its an odd reason to like a jacket, but its a reason nonetheless. I know that it says this is a track jacket, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the product pic is hiding a hood.
