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

DSC00631

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 see that there’s another issue of this mag coming out, since I enjoyed the last one I got a hold of (pictured), even if I thought that there wasn’t really that much need to have an Australian theme in just their second edition.

If I can turn up somewhere online where you can buy it then I’ll let you know (Giant Robot had the last one, maybe they’ll have this one).T

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 if there’s no demand I won’t spend more time on it.

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 that represent and reference music and movies without being too cliche, and that’s pretty rare nowadays.

Since this is a Bob Dylan tee, I was really tempted to write my post in a way that would make it seem like barely audible gibberish (in keeping with my understanding of many Dylan interviews), but that seemed like a lot of work for a joke that would get old fast. The idea of having a square print seems pretty unlike what I’ve come to expect from Waterloo, but I guess that if you’re going for a recreation of an LP cover then then isn’t exactly a whole lot more that you can do. Still, if you’re a fan of Dylan then I’m sure that you’ll be loving this.

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 by ten of their favourite artists. So, 10 years x 10 designs x 10 artists = 1000 awesome points. They’ve also released their fall/winter line as well.

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!”).

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!

(Yes, Black Sea are an advertiser now, but since I only allow advertisers I like on the site then clearly their designs are well-worthy of HYA)

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 site later next week.

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 out above in the picture, which sees them branching out beyond the solid color stock tees and into the adventurous world of hoops.

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 of having a pound of printed paper sitting in the living room after a few hours reading is really appealing to me. I’ve only read the first few pages of the 2nd mag from living proof, but its seems pretty cool.

This is a design that I really wish I had more time to write about, because its just gorgeous. The colours work so well together.
