Upper Playground are kicking it up a notch and have released a new premium line of hoodies:
The Upper Playground DWP Premium hoodies are constructed from the finest wool sourced from Italy and overseas. The rib knit trim is also imported from Italy and the hoodies are fully lined with soft, satin-finish charmeuse. The menswear influence does not stop there; the DWP Premium Hoodies have design details that add just the right touch of “gentleman.” DWP Premium design features include a slimmer fit, an interior pocket and UP art label, chest welt pocket and 2 side welt pockets.
Considering that they’re ‘premium’ I’m surprised to hear that they’re only $120 a piece, and they do look pretty damn nice. The hoodies can only be bought at the UP online store and at their bricks & mortar store in San Fransisco.

Yeah, that’s right, I said it, for once I’ve taken off my cynical hat and decided that instead of lambasting Microsoft for their surprising/bizarre move into the
world of Softwear like most people have, I’m just going to accept that I think the designs actually look pretty cool. Then again, I quite liked the Bill Gates/Jerry Seinfeld ads, so what the hell do I know?

A three-way collaboration? Hot stuff!
What I really like about this jacket is that it’s so normal on the outside, and then there’s this totally crazy interior to it that most people are never going to see, unless you’re the kind of person that likes to open up their coat a lot… possibly in a park… at night… to women… and in that case having a cool jacket is probably the least of your concerns.
If you want this jacket, then I’m afraid that you’ve not got much chance unless you can make it to the Stussy store in Harajuku (a crazy/awesome part of Tokyo) and lay down ¥73,290, which is, wait for it, about $790 dollars.

I got a quick e-mail
Redemption Clothing letting me know they exist, so here’s a quick post letting you know they exist. They’ve got some cool designs with animals and monsters on them and
hoodies make up a decent proportion of their collection, which is good to see at this time of the year. I’ve put the whole range in the gallery, so click on through to check them out.

Waterloo have a couple of new tees, and their Christmas promo is ‘buy 3 get 1 free’, so if you get 3 tees to give to friends and family for Christmas then you can get one for yourself as a treat!

In these times of global economic meltdown you’d think that people would be producing tees that were a bit lighter on your wallet, and some people have with all the
sales that are going on at the moment (which is why they’re accouting for such a large percentage of posts at the moment), but there’s always someone willing to buck the trend, and Cassida are certainly doing that.
Cassida describe themselves as a luxury streetwear label who sell design inspired by the ancient Roman empire, and I can certainly see that theme coming through in the style of the tees and the addition of rhinestones to many tees, and the luxury aspect is presumably covered by the circa €100 prices of the tees. I don’t think I’ve ever written about a tee that costs that much before, so I don’t even know where to start trying to judge what would make a tee worth that much, but I guess that you would just have to really, really, love the designs to buy one online.
To drop the price a bit, you can get 20% off from now until the end of the month by using the coupon code discount20.
