A blog about hoodies & t-shirts, with news from the independent clothing world

I thought I was finished with tees for the day, then I saw todays daily winner over at DBH. Its beautifully crafted, I could almost imagine it being used as a book cover on a version of the book, although I’m not so sure that putting it on blue works so well.

The bright blue paint spots seem a bit unnecessary to the design, I guess it’s meant to accentuate the rain aspect, but I really like the yellow print, yellow and blue always go together so well. The burgundy of the cuffs and inner collar looks really nice too.

‘Consume’ by Origin68

I like Origin68, I think they’re the closest-to-home label I’ve ever mentioned on HYA (they’re less than 2 hours drive away), and yet, I feel that I must point out something that seems a little odd to me. The message of the tee is all about buying stuff, things, buying items without even thinking out it, which I presume they think is a bad thing, and I’d have a tendency to agree with them, and then the items that have been drawn on the tee are things that I think are actually quite necessary to modern life. Toothpaste? Cleaning sprays? Robinsons squash? I wasn’t under the impression that these items were the bane of the world. Perhaps they’re annoyed with all the packaging?

Still, whatever message I’m misinterpreting, the tee does look good, the hand drawn style really adds to the message. There’s almost a doodling style to it, as if they printed up a load of tees that had consume written in the middle, gave it to a few designers and said “do what you want with it.”

A.M.P. Street Sale

A.M.P. Street, the label that is rather unusually a mix of Bangkok and Sweden (…exactly), are running a sale at the moment. Most of their tees have dropped from €24 to €16, which is a pretty significant saving, although I don’t think that it is any kind of store-wide sale as most of the other sections of the site only have one or two items marked down.

No word on when its going to end, so if you see something you like it might be a good idea to pick it up sooner rather than later.

The title says it all, Ten Bills have got six great new designs (’Divide and Conquer‘ is my favourite, pictured) available, a few designs have been restocked, and they’ve still got a few tees available for the low, low, price of $5.
