The only time I went to Helsinki when I was walking around I felt as if I was still on the cruise ship rocking from port to starboard, which was very unpleasant, so I don’t really have fond memories of the place. I’m not going to hold it against the Finns behind
Grey Market, because from the looks of things, they know a thing or two about making
hoodies that are both good-looking and functional.
Apparently the new range is available from their store, Grey Market Supply, but I can’t find it, although I can find lots of other great brands there, such as Sixpack, Upper Playground, & Imaginary Foundation. Hopefully the hoodie above, and the ones in the gallery below, will turn up in the store soon, because they look great.

With a title that concise, I don’t really know how much more I could tell you about this deal from
Monstar Clothing, except that the free shipping offer is only available to US orders at the moment (though Monstar will ship all around the world).
The
sales just keep pouring in and this one from
PopJunkie is a bit of a beast:
PopJunkie 50% Off Holiday Sale!
It’s that time again… Eggnog, candy canes, over-eating and holiday parties! Best of all, with the economy in the shitter, sales are popping up everywhere, and PopJunkie is no exception!
FOR THE REST OF DECEMBER, ALL OF OUR APPAREL ONLINE IS 50% OFF!
Whether you’re looking for a gift or just want to pick up something for yourself, now is the time. You’ll also be helping us pay off some debt so we can come out with some great new designs in Spring 
That means that the most expensive of their tees are $15 this month, with a few available a bit lower than that, and their hoodies max out at $30. PopJunkie have some great designs on tees and hoodies (as well as clocks, pillows & totes), so this is a great opportunity to pick them up on the cheap.
I would have thought that “Walken in a Winter Wonderland” would have been a bit more seasonal, but I guess that with a pun this good it doesn’t really matter whether it’s sunshine, snow, or even
broken glass, it’s still going to be funny.

I’d never received a package from Japan before, so that was one thing that I was excited to tick off my ‘tee to-do list’ when a bulging envelope arrived from
Graniph, but the fact that it took 3 days to travel from Japan to rural England left me even more impressed with a label that was already one of my favourite brands. Seriously, that isn’t all that much longer than it took me to get back from Tokyo, and the tees were probably in a lot better mood after 11 hour flight than I was!

You guys know that I can be enticed by shiny things, so out of the selection that Graniph sent me I was first drawn to this tee with gold foil on it, which I later found was called “Grafik Magazine”, presumably a collaboration with this magazine of the same name (check out their sample issue, it looks pretty cool). Despite the gold being fairly flashy (when isn’t it?), I think that this design is actually pretty minimal and understated, and it looks so much better in person than in these photo’s (as soon as I went out in the snow it started to rain, but I was committed to having a snowy photoshoot, even if it involved damp t-shirts).

The quality level is very impressive, slightly more heavyweight than most of the tees I receive, which should be helpful during these chilly winter months (not that it’s
that thick, I should add). It’s always hard to predict how well a foil tee will survive multiple washes, but I can assure you that Graniph’s ‘regular’, non-foil shirts are good and will last a long time (my brother routinely wears the shirt I got for him in Tokyo back in 2007, and it’s still good), so it’s probably a fairly safe bet that they know what they’re doing with foil. As with a lot of Japanese clothing, it runs smaller and is more fitted than us Westerners are used to, so whilst you can probably get away with buying your usual size, be aware that it will be a little more snug.
There’s a couple more shots in the gallery, and a teaser shot of the other tees that are to be reviewed.
