I like this tee, I look at it and it just makes me feel like I’m looking at a tee that is designed and produced by an independent company, I can’t imagine someone like Diesel, FCUK, or any other mainstream label putting out something like this, and as you would probably expect, I like that. Much like last nights review, this tee feels as if it wouldn’t be all that much out of place if it were printed onto canvas and framed. Which again, I do quite like.

This colourway is absolutely fantastic, I wore it on Saturday night with an open black long-sleeve shirt, and it looked good. Damn good. It led to me theorising that taking inspiration from the insect world for colour choices might be a good idea (since I thought I looked like a bee), but in hindsight that seems pretty regrettable now. The design itself is really clever, the more you look at it the more you appreciate it, although I must admit that when I first looked at the print I thought that there was too much going on, but I now realise that this kind of design needs chaos. There’s a lot going on, but importantly, there’s a reason for it, because hey, this design is all about lust, and that isn’t exactly the most orderly of emotions now, is it?

Quality is top notch. This tee is definitely American Apparel because its still got the tag in (on the product page it says that it has a custom printed size tag in it, but my tee doesn’t have this), and the printing feels top class too.
