Powder Moves by LRG @ Karmaloop

January 28, 2008

I went snowboarding once, I have some ankle problems and figured that just strapping myself to a board where my ankles wouldn’t move was the best option… I was wrong, as it turns out people that don’t have great balance off the snow aren’t that well suited to sliding down a mountain in Austria!This is [...]

Review: C-Men by Chaunce Clothing

January 26, 2008

This review is a bit late in its arrival for two reasons. Firstly, the post service in my area is totally lame (Christmas backlog my tuckus!), and secondly Chaunce took their site offline whilst they prepared for the launch of their second line, which became available yesterday, so make sure you check that out. This [...]

Buy One Get One Free @ EIO Clothing

January 25, 2008

If you buy a tee at EIO Clothing from now until January 31st, you will get a second tee, of your choice, absolutely free! A great deal from a company with some great tees, and plenty of celebrity admirers, most recently including Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. I’m actually having a bit of trouble getting [...]

Big Crown by XLarge

January 25, 2008

I haven’t mentioned XLarge for a while, but they dropped some fresh gear last week that just begged to be mentioned. I know it incorporates their logo and some people aren’t down with that, but its kind of what XLarge do, and I feel compelled to respect the audacity of a company that puts a [...]

From the Depths (3D glasses included) by Heavy Rotation

January 25, 2008

This tee is an oldie-but-goodie. Well, old in terms of tee design, its probably not more than a couple of years old. Don’t you think that it would be really cool if you went to a cinema where they were showing something in 3D and everyone was wearing the glasses in the cinema, then you [...]

Hicalorie Loves You by Hicalorie @ Karmaloop

January 25, 2008

I can’t believe how much of a sucker I am for big prints of Helvetica text which is left aligned. Its like a sickness. I guess there are worse addictions to have… I’m clearly a sucker for Hicalorie too, and this tee doesn’t even have their usual so-cute-I-might-be-sick graphics on it! Costiness=$32 Link

Peekaboo x Johnny Cupcakes collaboration series

January 25, 2008

We are living in the age of collaboration, everyone’s doing it, no one hires an artist anymore, they collaborate with them, why? Because it sounds cool, and gets some interesting results! In that vein, a Seattle-based artist called Peekaboo (this guy, probably) has teamed-up with the ever-popular Johnny Cupcakes to produce a small range of [...]

Deathbot Stockpile by Gama-Go

January 24, 2008

Hold up, ho-ho-ho-hold up! Deathbot? I can’t believe I missed this off the robot posts! I like the way that this is an all-over hoodie without being too stereotypically streetwear, I guess that’s probably because the colours don’t contrast too much, except for the lovely dash of colour that pops from the inside of the [...]

Signature Series tee by Etherbrian for Ghosticorn Apparel

January 24, 2008

My main memory of Pac Man is that back when my parents bought our first family computer (an Acorn A2000) is that my parents would play it for really long periods of time, often until about 2am on a work-night, and they weren’t gamer type people, still aren’t, I guess that’s the enigma of Pac [...]

Kit Missile baseball cap by Blanck

January 24, 2008

Just for a change, I thought we’d kick the day off with a hat. Have no fear, this blog ain’t turning into ‘Hide Your Scalp’ (hey, there’s an idea!), sometimes I just feel the need to hide my increasingly unruly hair. I really like the use of the rubber print for the missiles and their [...]

Mischa Barton likes Public Domain Clothing!

January 23, 2008

Readers from back in the early days know I’m a big fan of The O.C., so when Toby from PDC dropped me a line to show off some pictures of Mischa ‘hey, isn’t she kind of English?’ Barton throwing some admiring glances towards their designs at the Sundance Film Festival, I couldn’t help but let [...]

Gold Lungs by CarlEton

January 23, 2008

There’s a sad story behind this hoodie. The designers father, Richard T. Carleton, died recently aged 58 after a two year battle with lung cancer. In memory of his father, the designer has decided to make 58 hoodies with this design, with all the profits being donated to the American Cancer Society. Getting away from [...]

Cycle of Violence @ Elsewares

January 23, 2008

I know that some of you have a soft spot for technically illustrated designs, but how do you feel about designs based upon prototypes for amazing bicycles that could cause untold destruction? Happy? I thought you might be. If I’m totally honest, I think that my favourite parts of this design aren’t the rear-mounted flamethrower, [...]

The Astra Network Hoody by Analog @ Karmaloop

January 23, 2008

I’m that kinda guy that loves sitting out in the cold looking up at the stars (ladies, that means I’m sensitive, form an orderly queue!), so its fair to say that I have a passing interest in the subject of space. People in space-suits though, I dunno, they seem a little small for me when [...]

Neon Hello Kitty tee @ Fred Flare

January 23, 2008

Hello Kitty. Neon Print. Big Print. Hello Kitty on a freakin’ scooter! I’m sure someone just lost their mind (in both the good and bad way) when they saw this tee. Costiness=$26 Link

Big Update @ Your Eyes Lie

January 22, 2008

Your Eyes Lie, the monochrome-loving makers of too-cool-for-school tees have dropped what they’ve described as a big update. No new designs as far as I can tell, but they’ve spruced up the site, and if you click at the bottom of their homepage then you can see some rather sexy looking models… modeling the YEL [...]

Swarm by Squidfire

January 22, 2008

I know I’ve mentioned a hoodie very similar to this one in the past (also from Squidfire) but it’s a style that I can dig and think that it looks good on a hoodie. Of course, I could never wear it, tiny things with wings freak me out. Big time. Costiness=$45 Link

qt-pi by Geek Bouteek

January 22, 2008

Here’s my theory on geek t-shirts for girls. The design is pretty irrelevant, simply wearing one will ensure that hordes of geeky guys will flock around the wearer and ensure that they will have someone to spend quiet nights at 127.0.0.1 with playing World of Warcraft until the day they die, presumably of an electric [...]

Rewind by Obey @ Karmaloop

January 22, 2008

Just a thought; does anyone make mixtapes for anyone nowadays? Mixtapes on cassettes? Everyone did that. CDs? Yup, and you could even make your own album art too. MP3s? Not so much. Does anyone remember romance? Obey have a pretty good view from the top of the mountain when it comes to the streetwear world, [...]
