Comrade M65 by Orisue @ Karmaloop

comradem65 Comrade M65 by Orisue @ Karmaloop

There’s been a call for coats/jackets in the past, and this one from Orisue is pretty freakin’ sweet. There’s an injection of military elements without getting that stereotypical ‘politics student that think they’re the next Che Guevara’ look. The little metal embellishments do kick this piece up a notch, just a little bit of flash swimming in a sea of black to give some extra interest.

deadend Dead End by Playmoo @ French Loser

French Loser are really impressing me at the moment, they’ve been putting out some great designs and Dead End by Nicolas Kossbu (aka Playmoo) is no exception. Its colourful, it has a retro feel to it without being annoyingly retro, its printed on American Apparel and if my weak French is accurate, there’s only going to be 45 of these bad boys available for purchase.

Like ferns? Like elbow patches? Really, you like elbow patches? Then have I got the hoodie for you… if you’re a girl.

Yeah, elbow patches, I know, who does them anymore, eh? I think they look pretty cool with the blue thread running around the edge matching the blue of the print, and its nice how the print kind of wraps around onto the shoulder, keeping it flowing organically.

DAY1AGAIN HYA x Mauve Christmas Giveaway! Day 1: The Quiet Life... again!

As was mentioned earlier in todays Cotton Filter, a bit of a mix up on my end has meant that the first day of the giveaway has been extended by 24 hours, so thanks to those of you that got your e-mail in today, its a lot of fun seeing where you guys are from. And to those of you that haven’t sent an e-mail yet, why the devil not?

So, in case you missed it yesterday, here’s how this goes down: Send an e-mail to competitions@hideyourarms.com which has your tee size and mailing address in it (but if you forget we’ll get in touch if you are a winner) and the subject Day 1 up until 23:59 (PST) tonight (December 18th) and your name will be put into the hat to win a random tee from Mauve Online‘s selection of goods from The Quiet Life. Then the whole process starts again a couple of minutes later with a new brand and a fresh giveaway.

Read the full rules here (.doc link) and if you would rather not download the file, see the rules at this Google Docs page, please note this contest is only open to people from the US and the EU.

The Dark Side of the Fours by Sneaktip @ Karmaloop

darksideofthefours The Dark Side of the Fours by Sneaktip @ Karmaloop

Black on black, doesn’t really get much darker than that does it?

I’m not actually the biggest fan of Star Wars, I enjoyed the films (mostly), but I didn’t think that they were that good. Flame on!

Oh, and its pretty hard to see in the photo, but there is black text under the Darth Vader patch that says ‘Dark Side of the Fours’, again, black on black… badass.
