Here’s something curious, GorillaTank price everything up in pounds, yet my package came from The Netherlands, where you’d usually expect them to work in Euro’s, since that’s their currency and all. I guess that doesn’t really matter since my package turned up in a reasonable time and that’s the main issue that concerns people when they’re ordering clothing (and pretty much everything else) off the internet.
Peanut butter and jelly isn’t really a popular sandwich combo here in England, I actually brought the subject up in the pub tonight, and naturally, one of the people I was with immediately said that they ate them, which was a bit of a bitch-slap to my beliefs, but I guess it does mean that Gorilla Tank are targeting some niche markets in the UK! The design is really well done, all the elements are balanced out together, the little splatters that are off the bread add a certain something that suggests that they care as much about the design as the idea behind it. Another great touch is the way that they’ve not printed the edges and corners of the bread so that the brown of the tee and shows through to create the 3D look. If I was going to gripe about one thing though, it is quite hard to make out the faces of the savoury sumo characters, maybe a bit more contrast on the eyes, nose and lips? Although then they’d need to print an extra colour and that would probably be troublesome.
In quality terms, I’m impressed. They’re rockin’ a standard American Apparel tee. The print quality is impressive too, it feels like its gonna last.

Once again, I think I’m dropping an exclusive here (HYA gets more like Hypebeast everyday!). 2one5 are going to be releasing some (presumably customised) Jordan 8s this week, and this hoodie is going to be part of that release. This Houston Astros/2one5 logo mashup has really grown on me over the past few months and I think this hoodie has a great implementation of it, especially with the bridge on the hood.
Oh, and with a limited edition of just 30, you’ll be a member of a pretty damned exclusive club.

I think this hoodie can be filed under ‘safe to be worn to church’, but only if you’re Catholic, right? Catholics are the ones that use the beads?
Whilst I don’t think that you really need to be religious to were this hoodie, it would really want to put me off wanting to buy that (hypothetically speaking, as it is a girl’s hoodie), but I do think it’s a really well put together design, and that the shapes and colours work excellently.

Olly Moss is a name that seems to keep popping up all over the tee world, and with good reason too, he makes great designs.
This design from Red Tide Clothing doesn’t really fit with his usual style, but I still like it, it kind of makes me feel as if he’s drawing the contents of the ultimate student house, something that I only think because in my 3rd year at uni a housemate and I bought martini glasses and drank water out of them to feel classy… good times.
