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

It turns out that when I wrote about that Marx hoodie by Won Hundred a week ago that it wasn’t cheap by some freak administrative error, they’re actually having a big sale with some pieces up to 70% off, and considering Glass Boutique deal in premium labels this is a good opportunity to get top-class clothes at far more reasonable prices.

Time for a bit of lazy-blogging, here’s the press release:

This exclusive t-shirt is in line with Electronic Poet’s tradition of blending its fashion, art & science of music inspirations. Based on a traditional Family Tree, the t-shirt is hand drawn by hip illustrator Si Scott with the help of DJ and music journalist Ed Karney,. It shows how electronic music evolved, from cult pioneers Kraftwerk to today’s minimal heroes Matthew Dear and Luciano. The structure of the tree takes the form of stylized electronic wires and the result is totally unique and beautiful; the original artwork, ink on paper, was actually 1.5m in height before being reduced in size for the actually t-shirt design.

To celebrate Electronic Poet’s Autumn/Winter line (of which the Techno Tree tee is a part), they’re having release parties at Selfridges stores across the UK, starting this weekend in London.

If you’re that way inclined, head over to your nearest Selfridges store on the dates listed below to enjoy the Pioneer sponsored events, where you will be given guest list passes to club nights and entered into a competition to win a pair of Pioneer CDJ1000 digital turntables when you buy some Electronic Poet clothing.

London - Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd August (w/ Paul Woolford, Disco Bloodbath DJs, James Hillard and Simon Morell playing instore from 12pm to 6pm on the Saturday)
Birmingham - Saturday 23rd August (w/ Alex Shelton and Sub-An DJing)
Manchester - Saturday 9th August (w/ Unabombers, Andy Whittaker and Alex Morris providing the tunes)

tokidoki’s co-founder and Creative Director Simone Legno welcomed KarmaloopTV into the tokidoki studio for an exclusive glimpse into his methods and imagination.

Was I the only person that previously thought that Simone Legno was a woman, having never seen a picture of him and all the people I’ve met in the past called Simone being female?

It really feels as if I’m just writing about sales at the moment, but for some reason the t-shirt world seems to have gotten sick of looking at their stock this week, so I feel compelled to post the news if it means you guys can pick up a bargain for summer. Here’s the over-excited blurb:

We need to get these items gone quick, so we’re giving you up to 40% off on ALL Girly Tees, 50% off on ALL Winter Wear, and up to 40% off on a LARGE selection of Regular Tees!

Up to 40% off at Assault Shirts


I guess this is the week for short sales, because Assault Shirts have gotten in on the act by knocking up to 40% off loads of the gear in their store. I’ve been told that the sale will go on until “the end of the week,” I’m not sure if that means until Friday or Sunday, so if you want to buy something it would probably be best to presume that the sale will end on Friday.

Let me start this post by apologising, because this tee sold out over a month ago, but I didn’t find out about it until a couple of days ago, so there wasn’t really a lot that I could do.

When the FBI release files under the Freedom of Information Act they often blank out certain pieces of information that it has been decided need to be kept secret, usually the most exciting parts, which can often result in files that look like the one in the t-shirt about the FBI file of Pablo Picasso (whose birth name was… “Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso”). I really like the like the idea of an administrative file about an artist becoming art itself.

6 new tees from Camiseteria


You know who people don’t talk about enough? Camiseteria. I know that their site being written in Portuguese is something of a hurdle for us mono-linguists (hint: look at the link URLs, they’re written in English), but if you haven’t checked them out before click on through and marvel at some really pretty darned awesome t-shirts from this Brazilian design contest.

Take Off are an Australian company that have cool design, a cool website (even if I can’t link directly to the products) and really cool product pictures, so everyone’s a winner!

Putting a tyre tread onto a t-shirt isn’t exactly the most original idea in the world, but they’ve executed it really well, and at least they’re using a colourway that doesn’t involve a black tread print.


If you’re after a bit of originality (I’ve never seen an ASCII tee), check out this awesome ASCII lion.

Bloodgold have got your back


I know I go on and on about how I like oversize prints, flashy colours and foil, but I can also enjoy designs that are a bit smaller and subtle, and I think that Bloodgold’s tees fit into that category. The Cologne-based company doesn’t do anything too crazy with their designs, they’re simple and polished, but I really like the way that they integrate neck printing in so many of their designs since you don’t see it on that many tees.
