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

It’s been an incredibly long time since we last took a look at Lenko, and thankfully they’re packing a catalogue filled with cool, if slightly bizarre designs. Unfortunately their pics are a bit small so its pretty hard to make out the details, but I think we can get the gist of it.

The text reads “Have you noticed the squirrels are stocking up on canned goods?” I haven’t, around more area I have spotted a lot more of the damned grey squirrels and a lot less of the native red squirrels, but that’s probably beside the point… probably.

Monstar Clothing have been MIA on HYA for way too long now, so I’m happy to get them back on the blog with a sale. All their designs are $15 until they’re sold out, and that ain’t half bad.Monstar Clothing

Victoria Beckham gets naked for Marc Jacobs

Have any of you guys seen those tees which have naked celebs on them with a slogan placed to hide all the naughty bits?I know they’re hardly a new concept (the project started in 2006), but I spotted a good roundup and explanation of the project on a blog called “If It’s Hip, It’s Here” and thought that it was pretty interesting. I think the tees are about $35 each, which is probably too much for many, but apparently all proceeds go to the NYU Cancer Institute, so you’re kinda making a $35 donation to a charity and getting a free tee out of it.

Atlantis green t-shirt by Pagan for laFraise

I wouldn’t usually mention a t-shirt that has sold out (especially as the last post was something that didn’t have a ‘buy’ link), but I spotted this on in my bookmarks and I’m really annoyed that I didn’t mention it to you before. In my defence, on the French blog post about it (yep, I even subscribe to the blog I can barely read) a couple of months ago they didn’t provide a link to the sale page, so I guess I was probably waiting for a shop link to come up before posting it, and then just forgot entirely. Hopefully something that looks this good will get reprinted at some point, and I think that the print might actually glow in the dark, which I can only imagine would be utterly incredible.Costiness=€11 (if it were in stock) Atlantis by Pagan for LaFraise

According to the description:

scrappy was an old columbia studios character that failed. it’s like a mickey mouse human version

I’m not really a big fan of retro designs, but I like the story behind this, using a cartoon character that never caught the public’s imagination. Just colouring in the character’s hat and leaving the rest as outlines and background colour is pretty cool too. I’m not really sure if its available to buy, but the uploader has put the pic into the Independent T-Shirt Labels Pool on Flickr so its entirely possible that they made the tee themselves, so if you really want one just drop the user a message and you might be able sort something out.
