Say hello to Chillers Clothing

by Andy on October 31, 2008

in Hoodies,Long-sleeve T,Mens,Other Apparel,T-shirts,Womens

Established in 2005, Chillers Clothing features limited-edition, numbered original artwork. We only produce one thousand of each design, providing the buyer with something truly unique. Artists are selected from around the world representing various cultures and viewpoints through their artwork. We use the softest, highest quality materials available and our water-based, eco-friendly screen prints still look vibrant and fresh after thousands of washings.

Based in La Jolla, California, Chillers reflects the laid-back lifestyle unique to our area.“Chillers” has many meanings: to relax and go with the flow, to be easy going, to hang out and with your friends…and our clothing fits right in by providing the wearer with clothes that feel good, incorporate fresh, unique designs and are on the cutting edge of fashion.

I do think that there’s something fairly funny about calling “x out of 1000″ limited edition, fair enough, for Nike that is limited edition, but for a clothing company that are new to me those seem like pretty large numbers to be pushing. Still, the graphics are really nicely put together, and I look forward to seeing what they put into the mens side of their store.

spooktacularsale 480x180 Fuzzy Inks Spooktacular Sale

I’ve never really been all that into Halloween, but apparently its gaining in popularity back home, and the French seem to be big fans of putting decorations up, though I haven’t seen a single carved pumpkin yet (possibly because the fruit & veg here starts rotting after a day or so).

Friends of the mustache can rejoice, because Fuzzy Ink have put all the tees from their first series on sale at just $9.95 a pop. They’ve also released some very cool looking belts, and a track jacket with their name on it.

More hot asian women on t-shirts = genius!

quolomo gorilli 15a 480x171 More hot asian women on t shirts = genius!

Sometimes I have to wonder how I get put onto certain mailing lists (the amount of hip hop mixtapes I get sent is astounding), but the niche market of “photo t-shirts with hot asian women on them” is pretty unexpected. It’s also unexpected that there is more than one brand that does this regularly in their collections. I would say this though, once you get past the boobs and look at the regular stuff in Quolomo’s site, it’s actually pretty good.

GORILLI introduces QUOLOMO to Europe

QUOLOMO is a t-shirt, apparel and lifestyle project from Tokyo. Producing clothing under the central theme: “Design Japanese Culture,” QUOLOMO creations and collaborations draw inspiration from the array of sub-cultures, artists, pop-culture personalities and animated characters of Japan. In traditional Japanese language, QUOLOMO means “wear”. When producing t-shirts and apparel, QUOLOMO aims to create wearable garments dedicated to the time tested sensibilities and standards of quality, artistry and originality.

The first delivery of the QUOLOMO collection is now available in the Gorilli Concept Store in Rotterdam (Netherlands) and also online in the Gorilli Webshop. As always in limited quantities only. Second delivery will follow soon. So stay tuned.

Also, I don’t think anyone has ever sent me an e-mail with 27 attachments on it, but I’m going to put them all in the gallery anyway after a /more, so click on through for more pics.

Say Hello to Evenagamba

29.10.2008

Looking through the archives of HYA, I think its pretty clear that I’m usually more concerned with what is on the front of a t-shirt or hoodie than the actual piece of clothing itself, but I can also appreciate it when people produce a really high quality hoodie with a slightly different cut to the [...]

Self Harm Dogtooth by Chateau Roux [Review]

28.10.2008

Sorry about the photos in this post, when I took them back home they looked alright, but now that I’ve processed them it turns out it was actually too sunny and its pretty hard to make out the design. Too sunny in Cumbria, whatever next? Chateau Roux didn’t exactly intend to court controversy when they [...]

And an Avril Lavigne Megapost for the finish

27.10.2008

I was wondering to myself who I should finish the big celebrity marathon with, and decided that Avril Lavigne was probably the best choice since I still had a few pictures of her left, and because she has been such a frequent subject of celebrity posts in the past. The “Little Miss VIP” tee at [...]
