Gone to London, back soon

June 15, 2007

I’m off down south for the weekend, partly to be a tourist, and partly to go see one of the biggest bands in the UK, Muse (as well as My Chemical Romance), at the new Wembley. Yep, I’m going to walk onto the pitch at Wembley, I’m actually going to live out part of many [...]

Review: Calculator Watch Mega by Public Domain Clothing

June 15, 2007

Time to take a look at the ‘mega’ version of the previously reviewed calculator watch micro tee. PDC are sticking to their tried, tested & trusted style of retro consumerism, except this time its been planted onto a loud and proud colourway of orange print on a yellow-tinged cream tee. I’ve said it before and [...]

Bad Planet @ Allmightys

June 15, 2007

I’m sure there’s a term for the art of giving a face to inanimate objects, and I should probably learn what that term is, because there are sooo many tees and hoodies out there in utilising whatever it is you would call that style. Usually, a tee that has some kind of political, social or [...]

Tired Feat by Sauerkids @ Designgive

June 15, 2007

Designgive are a company that I just can’t help but love, they have quality designs, their clothes are cheap, and they still manage to give away a portion of each sale to charity, and the customer even gets to choose where that charitable contribution goes to! I think they manage to keep their costs down [...]

Review: Fold Laundry by Local Celebrity

June 14, 2007

I can’t believe that I’m going to hit the heights of fashion blogger cliché-dom, but Local Celebrity are so hot right now. I saw one of their tees on MTVs Real World, and they’re being worn by Pax Jolie-Pitt, Nick and Aaron Carter, and Carrie Underwood. I know those guys aren’t A-list, but it does [...]

The Flip Tee by Rebel Ape

June 14, 2007

I always burn with anger (inside, I’d remain the consumate gentlemen on the outside) whenever I see anyone wearing a tee with Che Guevara on it. I get the feeling I may have mentioned this pet peeve of mine before, but this tee is actually pretty clever, so I’m going to let it slide just [...]

Wee Sack by Tee and Toast

June 14, 2007

Ahhh, sack races, one of the most pointless forms of racing at school sports days. I say pointless because I never really worked out how to move quickly whilst in a sack, thus I lost the races, and if I couldn’t work it out then I’m pretty sure that its a waste of everyone’s time. [...]

Review: Turntable micro by Public Domain Clothing

June 13, 2007

I went on a shopping trip down to Manchester today, and I was actually surprisingly impressed with what I could find in the mainstream shops (I even bought rather a nice pair of shorts), but I particularly enjoyed visiting Wood, Exit, Westworld and a fantastic little bookshop called Magma where I spotted prints by Eboy [...]

‘tshirt15′ by Universe on a T-shirt

June 13, 2007

I was really in two minds whether I should run this tee, not because I’m ambivalent about their designs, but because they’re just so goddamn good, its so hard for me to choose just one, so there may well be an almost PDC-esque deluge of Universe on a t-shirt merchandise in the coming weeks (ha, [...]

The Captain Hoodie by DC @ Karmaloop

June 13, 2007

Paint splatters are an oft-used design element in the clothing industry nowadays, but it isn’t every day that you see a hoodie that only has splatters on it, making it ever-easier for someone to think you’ve had a rather artistic painting accident on your clothes. I can’t really see any kind of pattern or join-the-dots [...]

Review: Dead Presidents by Bean Dip

June 12, 2007

Bean Dip have been along for the HYA ride since the beginning (technically since day 41 but that is pretty early on), so I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for them, but even if they were sending me a tee or a hoodie for the first time I think I’d still be just [...]

Compass & Stars by Discourse Clothing

June 12, 2007

Even though I can’t really make out the design all that well, the ever-shrinking emo side of me really likes this tee, and the text kind of squares off the design quite nicely. One last thing; nipples! Costiness=$15 URL

Abstract Teknique Zip Hoodie by American Pig Brand

June 12, 2007

Its quite a strange print, but they have called it ‘Abstract Teknique’, so I can hardly complain, can I? I like the way that it’s layered, and the different colours are really complimentary, its not exactly a loud and proud kind of design, just nice and subtle. Costiness=$64.99 URL

Review: polaroid micro by Public Domain Clothing

June 11, 2007

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 [...]

Bunnies & Chainsaws by Lifetime Collective

June 11, 2007

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 [...]

XLA Coaches Jacket by X-Large

June 11, 2007

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 [...]

Review: … a tee by Public Domain Clothing

June 9, 2007

Here’s something odd, every other day this week I’ve opened up the box from Public Domain, pulled out the next tee in the pile, taken it out of its plastic bag, taken some pictures, then gone to write about it. I usually go to PDCs website to make sure I get the name of the [...]

Seagull camera jacket by Vital @ Etsy

June 8, 2007

Look at me keeping promises, I said I’d try and get more track jackets on the site and I’ve followed through with this beauty I found on Etsy. I’m about to head out, so after getting your hopes up with the previous sentence I’m going to let you down by just using the blurb to [...]

True Love & False Idols

June 8, 2007

I thought we’d take a look at a brand that’s on the slightly higher end of things since I was tipped off about them by Matt. True Love & False Idols don’t have an ‘about me’ page on their site, so I’m just going to have a stab at describing them myself. Lots of large, [...]

Review: Escape the Earth Oven by Aloha Victory

June 7, 2007

When I hear the word ‘aloha’, I immediately think of Hawaii. So quite naturally (I presumed), when I found out about Aloha Victory I thought I’d be checking out some designs from the land of grass skirts and drinks served in coconut shells. Oh, how wrong I was, Aloha Victory are actually based in Florida, [...]
