David from Seibei certainly has been busy recently, hitting up craft fairs all-over the US and recently releasing a few new designs. You’d have thought that since this is a blog I’d go for the most google juice possible and write about his recent collaboration with Derek M. Ballard, who’s an illustrator, not a contestant on Project Runway as I wrote in the original version of this post, that’s another collaboration entirely! Or I’d finally point out yet another design in which Seibei show their love for all things zombie with the tee ‘Thriller Was A Documentary‘ which has zombie Michael Jackson looking better than he does in real life, whilst kicking out a nice little reference to Romero’s Dawn of the Dead.

But for me, ‘Vampire Career Fair‘ tops those two, the large block of red drips contrasts so well with the white tee, the positioning of the text with that solid black background, and the characters that feel more like they should be in a graphic novel than on a t-shirt. Its just so well put together, all the pieces just fall into place to produce an excellent design that works great as a tee.

Ooooohhhh, Tank Theory may well have done this black/white/gold + weaponry thing quite a lot, but that doesn’t stop it from looking really, really cool every time I see it, and at $58 its a bit of a steal. And I know I’ve posted something that looks similar to this in the past, but its actually slightly different, this one has bullets on the front!

All-Mighty, the guys that love dogs (and clothes with images of dogs on them) more than I love clothes, have had a redesign of their site and hot damn it looks good. It appears that they’ve overhauled pretty much everything whilst still retaining the essence that makes AM so darned cute and lovable. There also seems to be quite a lot of new products available too since I last took a look, so head on over and check it out.

I don’t really like this hoodie all that much, its a little busy for me, but then I thought I’d post this since one of my boys is over in NY at the moment, and I’m really tempted to head over there for the United Show in January. That said, I think that wearing one in New York would be the equivalent of wearing a sign around your neck that says “I’m a tourist, I’m going to stop in the middle of ’sidewalk’ to take pictures, hate me.”

Still, putting a subway map onto a hoodie is a pretty fun idea lots of fun though!

You know what time it is! Day 3 is upon us! Todays tee is going to be from a brand who I haven’t heard much about before, Cosby, but if the guys over at Mauve think that its good, then chances are its a streetwear label that is too cool for mere mortals such as myself to know about. And no, there isn’t a puddin’ pop anywhere to be seen!

If you missed the first couple of days, I’ll go through how the contest works for you. Send an e-mail to competitions@hideyourarms.com telling me your t-shirt size, and address if you’re comfortable giving me that info before you know if you’re a winner (but I would never, never, use these details to spam you guys), and please use the subject Day 3 so that I can quickly sort the entries. Once I receive your e-mail your name is in the hat for the random drawing of a tee from Mauve’s range of Cosby clothing, simple as that!

Since there are apparently laws regulating this kind of thing, there are a few rules that we have to follow. They are pretty standard so you don’t need to worry about them, but for your viewing pleasure they can be found here (warning: .doc link) and viewable online here on my Google Docs. One important rule to note is that this contest is only open to the US and EU.

To be completely honest, and what would be the point of HYA if I lied constantly? DBHs designs had actually been disappointing me a bit recently. I kept feeling as if they were putting things out that showed off their admittedly excellent printing techniques rather than the great work that their community of artists was submitting. Saying that though, I could still see the talent and skill in the designs, they just weren’t popping for me.

But Incognito 7 reaffirmed my faith in DBH, the pink and blue highlights really help to freshen up this design, and little details around the edge really contrast well with the heads giving a future meets past kinda feel.

1) It’s cold here. 2) At weekends where I live you hear quite a lot of rifle shots echoing down the valleys from people hunting. That got me thinking about nice warm coats and camo, so.. voila, a camo coat! This coat is 100% cotton with a plaid lining, so I’m not sure quite how warm it will keep you, but it does look pretty good.

It’s fairly understated, but not everything that goes into your wardrobe at the moment need to be an all-over print or some massive graphic on it (though I do still love them). It would have been pretty cool if Cindez had done others with more than one hand putting dashes of paint on the tee, although I guess that would have been about as subtle as a brick through your window compared to this version.

So, do you love the fine city of Philadelphia enough to wear its skyline across your chest?

Personally, I didn’t even know that Philly had a famous skyline. Still, I like the imperfect print on the charcoal long-sleeve tee, and how damn long has it been since we had a long-sleeve tee on HYA (that wasn’t sent to me for review)?

After an impressive response, Day 1 is over! The winner will be randomly picked out when we get the chance, and a tee from Mauve’s range of The Quiet Life will be on its way soon. Sad that you forgot to send an e-mail over the past couple of days? Don’t be! There’s still four more chances to win.

The winner of Day 2’s giveaway will get a random tee from Mauve’s selection of streetwear by The Hundreds.

Just like the first time around, all you have to do to enter is send your t-shirt size and mailing address to competitions@hideyourarms.com using the subject Day 2 and your name will be added to the draw. Just so that we’re clear, even if you entered the first day, you need to enter every day to be eligible for all the contests, but please only enter on the correct day after I have posted saying that the new day has started, otherwise I might have to not count that days entry. Also, because we’re doing this by the book, you can see the full contest rules here and view them in Google Docs here, please note that the contest is only open to people from the US and EU.
