Threadbanger Episode 22: Make your own hoodie

July 24, 2007

I’m not really into DIYing clothes, probably because I have far more than any person needs (although I did get my MacGyver on in Amsterdam, making cufflinks out of some random clips I found in a supermarket), but I’m glad that Threadbanger finally gave me a reason to post about them in the form of [...]

Imaginary Foundation @ Stussy

July 24, 2007

I know this blog does Veer off topic quite a lot as it is, but I thought that as the Imaginary Foundation are a much loved entity around here that I’d point out the notcot post about IFs show at the Stussy store in New York San Francisco since it has a load of pictures [...]

Vintage Vantage 20% off coupon code

July 23, 2007

So… guess what this post is about? The folks over at Vintage Vantage (a brand I’ve been a fan of since before HYA but have never mentioned) have been kind enough to offer us a lovely code that will get you 20% off your order no matter what you purchase, even sale items. I haven’t [...]

Gone to Amsterdam, back soon

July 17, 2007

I’m heading off to Amsterdam tomorrow morning and I’ll hopefully be back late on Sunday night (as long as EasyJet doesn’t end up acting like… EasyJet). I was intending to get to posts written up to automatically post over the next few days, but unfortunately work has got in the way and I haven’t had [...]

Linkfest ’07

July 17, 2007

I’ve been getting quite a lot of e-mails from new (to me) brands recently, and whilst I do intend to point out some of the better looking items when I get a chance in the future, there’s a few in there that I’m not overly impressed by, but I thought I’d let you guys be [...]

The One Upper from Luxirie by LRG

July 17, 2007

Is it just me, or is the cut of this track jacket a bit futuristic? The day-glo blue is probably adding a bit to my perception as well, but I think that the brown parts help to level it out somewhat. Blurb: “Faux vest style track jacket with zippered front and mock neck collar; front [...]

July 17, 2007

Fresh off their article in the New York Times, Attus Apparel have released a fresh round (oh yeah, that’s a pun!) of ‘Shot Up Shirts‘. If you wanna see the shirts being shot up with shotguns, check out this YouTube link. If you wanna see my cousin shooting a pineapple with his shotgun, check out [...]

Mainstream Monday: Otani Fleece by Adidas

July 16, 2007

Man, this pattern is just about as hot as they come, its available in a load of colourways, but I think that this black and white combo really sits well with the tone of the design. Blurb: “The Otani Fleece features an incredible all-over print of a diamond shaped arrangement of four different emblems of [...]

It’s about damn time!

July 16, 2007

One of the biggest gripes that I had about Threadless was that they didn’t pay people when their designs were reprinted. I guess this was something that a lot of people have said since they’ve now changed their policy so that every time a design gets reprinted, the artist gets $500. They’ve even upped the [...]

Threadless Pick: Play & Sugar and Spice

July 16, 2007

I haven’t been mentioning the weekly Threadless updates for a while simply because I wasn’t really being wow-ed by any of the new items, but these two tees this week have really blown me away. ‘Play‘ really just feels like a thorough-bred design that has been honed by so many years of people creating ‘that’ [...]

Quick Stitch: Sehubabe

July 16, 2007

Here’s another brand who’ve spent far too long in my inbox and not enough time on the site, Sehubabe, a group of four Belgians who’re making really rather nice tees. Their website looks pretty nifty too, simplicity can be beauty! Sehubabe

2×4 Limited Edition Tshirts

July 16, 2007

This brand have been in my inbox for way too long, and I’d love to go in depth in my look at them, but things are pretty hectic around here at the moment, so you can just look at the pic and go “whoa, they’re cool”, rather than having me tell you why they’re cool. [...]

Imaginary Foundation restocks

July 16, 2007

I had promised Joe that I’d do a long post on this topic, packed with tidbits from the IF interview in the latest edition of T-World magazine in an attempt to help him justify buying one of their marked-down but still not that cheap hoodies. But I’ve just realised that I’m really lazy so I’m [...]

Quick Stitch: Madhouse gets a lick of paint

July 14, 2007

Dammit! I keep forgetting to post about this. Jared’s had his site redesigned so that it looks like (surprise, surprise)… a house! And there’s a couple of new designs there too. I say new, they were new when I first said I’d post about this, now they’re probably being dug up by someone wearing a [...]

Quick Stitch: Skitch TV

July 13, 2007

Pretty impressive designs from this New York based outfit, with a bit of a graffiti feel running through them, and I do like how they include shipping and handling in the price, keeping things transparent. Skitch TV

CCTV Stares by Glass Boutique

July 13, 2007

I think I mentioned Glass Boutique having a design competition an absolute age ago, and now the winning tees are available. I’m really happy that the CCTV Stares design was a winner, because I’m pretty sure that I voted for it, which either means that I’m really good at spotting designs, or they only had [...]
