Mimoco Apparel x HYA* Illustration Contest

contestlogo Mimoco Apparel x HYA* Illustration Contest

I’m excited to announce that HYA* is teaming up with mimoco, the guys that make those awesome designer USB Flash Drives, for an illustration contest.

There are three tees from mimoco’s new apparel line up for grabs and all you have to do to win is create an illustration with a mimobot in it. Yeah, it’s that simple. Let your imagination go wild, draw anything you want in any style you want, just make sure it involves a mimobot in some way. You can feel free to incorporate Hide Your Arms into the illustration too, but that isn’t a submission requirement.

noname Mimoco Apparel x HYA* Illustration Contest

If you’re in need of some materials to help you with your illustration then the following links will be of help to you: Mimobot’s on MySpace and Mimobot’s on Virb.

Please send your submissions, preferably in a .jpg format and under 1MB in file size, along with your t-shirt size and mailing address to the following e-mail address: competitions [at] hideyourarms [dot] com or, in case that e-mail doesn’t work for some reason info [at] hideyourarms [dot] com

Submissions will be accepted until November 21th at midnight (GMT) and will announce the winners a few days later after Mimoco and myself have judged the entrants. Multiple entries are accepted, but please don’t send lots of versions of the same image unless you’ve really made some awesome changes.

Good luck!

Two hoodie pre-orders at Enclothe (and a coupon code)

falconeer ZHmockup Two hoodie pre orders at Enclothe (and a coupon code)


Enclothe, the purveyor of esoteric clothing, is going to be releasing a couple of new hoodies soon (Falconeer, pictured, and Horsebot), and they’re available on pre-order now until November 9th. The pre-order price is $40, which will go up to $45 at the end of the pre-order period, and if you order now then you’re eligible for a free sticker pack.

As if that wasn’t enough, you can get a further $5 off that price by using the coupon code hidethosearms (clever, eh?), making the hoodie $35 rather than the regular $45, which is a great deal for something printed on an American Apparel hoodie. Please note that the code will only work with the pre-order hoodies.

There are also a few tees available on pre-order too.

crow large Dirty Bird Crow Hoodie by Gama Go

Well, this hoodie is just straight up awesome. Ok, if you’re a bit indie or emo, it’s straight up awesome.

Has the dirty bird met his avian match?

This is an authentic limited-edition hooded sweatshirt. We’ve only manufactured 350. Each is made with the highest attention to detail.

The entire design is embroidered, with artwork on the chest and right wrist. The interior features a printed, lined hood, two zipper pockets, and a headphone cord passthrough.

Costiness=$84 (with free domestic US shipping) Link

Entourage Medellin tee from HBO

by Andy on October 30, 2007

in Mens,Seen on TV,T-shirts

medellinpG01 3910732dt Entourage Medellin tee from HBO

I think we’ve covered in the past how often I’m disappointed by the quality of official merchandise for TV shows and movies, even pointing out my disappointment with some of Entourage’s merchandise. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this post on Uncrate pointing me towards this shirt for the fictional movie Medellin from the TV show Entourage. I like the way that it doesn’t mention Entourage or HBO on the tee anywhere, giving it some nudge-nidge-wink-wink credibility. And kudos to HBO on not going with a standard across the chest placement too.

Costiness=$19.99 Link

WRONGWROKS Winter Swarovski Series Released

wrongwroks3827 WRONGWROKS Winter Swarovski Series Released

Ahh, Wrongwroks, I don’t necessarily think that everything this Vancouver-based crew do is amazing, but there’s just something about them that intrigues me, I mean seriously, who else would think of making a Swarovski pink panther hoodie?

wrongwrokscarpet ad WRONGWROKS Winter Swarovski Series Released

If you’re a fan of all things Doradimon then this hoodie might be up your street too. They’re using carpet on the blue of the character, which is a pretty cool idea since it gives the piece a bit of texture and innovation.

There’s a load more stuff in the collection, a few tees and quite a few hats (which I think are a far more acceptable place for Swarovski crystals to be found on clothing) which are worth checking out.

Threadless: The $10 Thriftee

29.10.2007

Threadless have launched a pretty cool little feature today, called Thriftee, in which a random design of a random size is offered on a first-come first-served basis to one person for the price of $10. Once that has been sold, the whole process starts again with a new design and size. Since that felt awkward [...]

Hardware by CELL DVSN @ Dadawan

26.10.2007

Personally, I can’t see myself wearing this, but all-overs are still pretty popular, and if you really, really love your handheld gaming, then this may well be an appropriate hoodie for you. Although I would be wary of wearing this in public since it pretty much screams “hey you, thief, under this hoodie is hundreds [...]

Achtung Regenwetter @ A Better Tomorrow

25.10.2007

Sorry I didn’t catch this when it was just €29 as part of their Cheap Friday’s promotion last week, but it still looks just as good even with a higher price tag. It’s nice to see this placed on the left of the sweatshirt, I don’t think I would have been quite so enthralled with [...]

T-World 3rd Edition Launch Party/Release

24.10.2007

Jake over at tshirtalert.com has a post about the impending release party to celebrate the 3rd edition of the Australian journal of t-shirt culture, T-World (yeah, people write about tees on paper too!). I’m not particularly interested in the party on Saturday (27th), since it’s in Melbourne and I’m not. But, I am glad to [...]

Elmanco’s blog list gets updated, HYA still deemed relevant

24.10.2007

Italian’s know good design, I think we can take that as a fact, so it’s nice to see that HYA still graces the extremely comprehensive linkbait list of design blogs put together by Elmanco that has been updated recently. Anyone interested in a massive list of tee blogs? I’ve already written most of it but [...]

The Freewheelin tee from Waterloo

24.10.2007

The e-mail I got about this tee opened like this… “Hi Andy, hope you like our last creation…” (emphasis mine). I’m hoping that this is just their English not being perfect and it was actually meant to say ‘latest’, because it would suck to lose Waterloo from the tee community since they put out designs [...]

The Quiet Life: 10 Year Anniversary Series

24.10.2007

I was shocked (shocked!) to read that The Quiet Life has been going for a whole decade, I’d always figured that since they were only onto their second photo book that they weren’t that old (presumably they’d been into other stuff before the photo books started coming out). They’ve celebrated by releasing ten new designs [...]

Sand Leaf Hoodie by Umsteigen @ Rare Device

24.10.2007

Even though it kinda looks as if they’ve photoshopped the models head into the product picture I am still really impressed by this hoodie. And this hoodie comes just in time for your autumnal camouflaging needs (“the leaves, they are turning!”). Costiness=$100 Link [via Stylehive]

Ahhh, there’s nothing to brighten my day like the sight of gold foil. Here you go, hardcore kids. Black Sea meets tough-guy, only, the kind of “tough” Black Sea has to offer is the kind that has a good head on it’s shoulders and isn’t afraid of purple and shiny gold!

Monsieur T.: F/W 07 Part One released

23.10.2007

Heads up, I’m very tenuously keeping my reporting French-stuff theme going by reporting that Portland-based outfit Monsieur T. have released the first part of their Fall/Winter line. I’m blatantly going to be writing about the hoodie on the right of the above pic so please pretend to be surprised when it pops up on the [...]

Public Domain Clothing hits Karmaloop

23.10.2007

I don’t know how it happened, but some new Public Domain designs for women have turned up on Karmaloop before they’ve appeared on PDCs own website. They’re largely a continuation of what we’ve seen in the past, except bigger, brighter, and with more a few more colours too. There’s also the tee that I’ve pointed [...]

Me? Linking to a PDF magazine? What on earth has happened? Oh, its from 2one5, it all makes sense now! I’m quite a fan of online .pdf magazines, where I live I’m lucky if I can buy an issue of Wired, so the opportunity to read an interesting magazine without having the environmental guilty conscience [...]
