Everyone seems to be posting about
TorsoPants, a new tee site from T-Shirt Hell founder Sunshine Megatron (yes, that’s his legal name), and about how ‘dry’ it is. They’ve also got ads going on Gmail, again pointing out how dry it is. To be honest, I can take or leave the tees, they’re better than I would have expected, and there’s definitely a market for them, but they just aren’t my style.
Check out this page to see how you can get $8 off your order. Oh, and the links page is pretty funny.

I actually picked up a couple of
Doraemon money banks on a Hong Kong night market, so I feel slightly more justified in posting this Doraemon x Spongebob character mashup
hoodie than I usually would when I dip my toes into the bright and shiny waters of anime.
Wrongwroks themselves describe this as “the best zipup we have done so far,” something which they seem to attribute to the fact that there are more than 30,000 stitches on the Dorabob. I don’t know stitching all that well, but that sounds like a lot to me!This is a light American Apparel fleece, so it should be perfect for those not-too-hot not-too-cold Spring evenings that should be arriving any day now (snow? it’s nearly April!). Presumably this is also a rather limited edition piece, since most things Wrongwroks are, and this one is only being stocked in their webstore, and none of their myriad of retailers.

Considering that I have a massive
eBoy poster (incidentally, May 9th – June 30th, they’re exhibiting @
Concrete Hermit) on the wall behind my laptop, I was more than a little bit excited seeing a pixel art style t-shirt being a winner in the Vice Magazine x
laFraise competition.
Striclty speaking, it isn’t all that pixelly, but the style is certainly suggestive of it, and that’s good enough for me. Beyond that,
Whiff Focker has come up with a pretty stunning design and paired it up with a really interesting colour palette. If you want to see the design as a whole (the LaFraise product pics are cool, but you can’t really grasp the feel of the design), then
here’s a link to a nice big jpeg that shows you the whole thing.

In other LaFraise news, Jouni, their EU blogger, has announced that he’ll be leaving that post soon (perhaps today, I can’t remember), I haven’t actually had any direct contact with him, but he always made getting LaFraise news a lot more interesting and its a pity to see him go.
Sometimes I see a
hoodie that is so ridiculous I can’t stop myself from posting about it. This hoodie is most definitely one of those times.
I guess that if this was a costume hoodie then I could have nothing against it, and I don’t want to be too negative because part of me applauds the audacity of LRG for producing a hoodie that attempts to make the wearer look like a wolf, but then I just can’t imagine a good time or occasion that I would want to wear it.
The red hood lining is pretty little-red-riding-hood-tastic though, so they have clearly put a lot of thought into this, although it would have been cool if the zip went all the way up so that you could close the mouth on the wolf and have a quick-and-easy Halloween costume, though I would presume that LRG were trying to avoid suggestions of costumery.
Costiness=$94 Link (for what seems like the 1000th time… if you use the rep code AS7594 you’ll get up to 20% off your Karmaloop order and support HYA in the process)
Big thanks to Pokeadot, who I presume is a HYA reader, for letting me know that
Imaginary Foundation released some new designs from their presumably Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory-esque headquarters in Switzerland.
Beyond that news, they’ve also changed their shipping method to a flat rate of $7 in the US, and $20 for us international people. I know that I should have probably put one of their latest designs as the picture to go with this post, but I really liked the image they made to showcase the new shipping policy.
