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


You probably all know by now that I really like it when t-shirt brands to something a little out of the ordinary, and I think that doing 3D designs and including glasses with every tee is certainly a little out of the ordinary. Fair enough, I wouldn’t wear the subtly titled “36D” tee for an afternoon stroll in the park, but I like the skull design without even seeing it in its three dimensional glory. Unsurprisingly, the tees come at a bit of a premium, but I’m sure that wearing such an impressive talking point will justify the €45 outlay, and at least it gives you a half-decent reason to wear sunglasses at night.

To be honest, I hadn’t heard of datrumpf (warning: flashing images) before, but I really like the look of the hair tee and the style of the American football one, so I think I might keep an eye on him in the future. Seee.us are clearly fans of datrumpf, as he’s been trusted with the whole of their latest line, including premium tees for guys and girls, and a few posters too.

Damned good week of competition winners from laFraise, wouldn’t you say?

In other Strawberry-based news, you can get €5 off any of the Popdeck x laFraise shirts by using the imaginative coupon code of POPDECK, and they’re continuing their summer sale on the last page of their shop by cutting the prices by a whopping 50%, which is a discount not to be sniffed at, if indeed to you sniff at a discount.

That’s what’s fresh at Linty Fresh this month. I think that Eric Terry, the guy behind Linty Fresh, is doing LF full-time now, so I guess we can expect to see even more great designs from him in the future. Read about the new designs and their inspiration at the Linty Fresh blog.

On Saturday morning I got a message from a friend on Facebook saying that HYA was in The Guardian. To say I was surprised was something of an understatement, my little blog being mentioned in one of the UKs most respected newspapers? Surely it was some kind of typo.

But no, I rushed out and bought the paper, threw away the part with actual news in it and opened up their award-winning Guide section. In the internet guide in the Guardian Guide is a fairly light-hearted affair, the larger site reviews featured a fishing blog, and Totally Looks Like, a site about celebrity look-a-likes. But on the right of the page there was a column called “Blog Roll: T-shirts”, where I happily found myself featured, even if I don’t think that the description is all that accurate.

For dedicated followers of the hoodie and advances in loud slogans.

Loud slogans? Oh. Here’s a list of the other blogs that were mentioned:

Fat Seagull
Thunderfrogs
Banned T-Shirts Blog
Crucial Headache
Spreadshirt UK
Rumplo

I’m surprised to see some of the choices they made (where’s Tcritic? Since when is Rumplo a blog?), and I do wonder where they found their links considering Thunderfrogs, Banned Shirts & Crucial Headache aren’t that widely known in the world of tee blogs, but I’m still really happy to see Hide Your Arms being mentioned in a printed publication for the first time.
