Thumbnail image for The Johnny Cupcakes Grand Opening in video form… again [video]

I know I’ve already shown you the Johnny Cupcakes London store grand opening in video thanks to Suck! Clothing, but it’s cool seeing these behind the scenes vids from Johnny (and his crew). This video shows the build out of the store. These are the Rube Goldberg-eqsue machines that Johnny had made. This is the [...]

Richmond Classics, a cool store in Bournemouth [video]

March 23, 2011

I don’t think I’ve ever been to Bournemouth, but if I ever happen to be passing through I’ll be sure to check out Richmond Classics, though I’d likely be gravitating towards their streetwear offerings rather than the laddish brand they offer. Cool video, too.

Renegade Craft is coming to London!

Thumbnail image for Renegade Craft is coming to London!

I have no idea if this news is old hat, but Fuzzy Ink told me on Twitter yesterday that Renegade Craft, the craft fair that is well established in many US cities and at which many HYA-loved brands trade at, is going to be popping over to merry old England in October! I’ve always felt [...]

Hello Kitty x Johnny Cupcakes = Collectors Dream

December 18, 2010
Thumbnail image for Hello Kitty x Johnny Cupcakes = Collectors Dream

People get addicted to buying EVERYTHING that Hello Kitty produce, and a slightly smaller amount of people will do practically anything to get their hands on the latest Johnny Cupcakes merchandise, so it’s hardly surprising that if you combine the two you end up with some t-shirts that look kinda cool (they aren’t amazing, but [...]

A quick look at Concrete Hermit’s Kingly Court Store

I forgot to mention that when I was in London a couple of weeks ago I passed by the new Concrete Hermit shop in Kingly Court (a boutique shopping arcade just off Carnaby Street). The shop is in the unit that Lazy Oaf used to occupy (I don’t know if they’ve moved or decided not [...]

Is this the new Johnny Cupcakes store?

Thumbnail image for Is this the new Johnny Cupcakes store?

When I was heading into London on the train last Monday evening after a day measuring and templating a kitchen for my other job, I realised I hadn’t arranged to meet anyone in town, and after a few fruitless calls and texts, I decided to let the HYA Facebook page decide where my evening was [...]

I totally missed telling you guys about Threadless launching their book in Brooklyn last night, but there’s still a chance to check out their pop-up shop at 186 Orchard St. from now until Saturday (store open 12pm-8pm). There’s also events going on everyday so if you’re a Threadless fan then I’m sure you’ll want to [...]

Concrete Hermit’s Kingly Court store is opening on Thursday (with drinks and discounts)

Obviously I’m not going to be there (10% off everything in store and free drinks sounds nice, but I’m not going to travel more than 300 miles for it), but I’m pretty excited about Concrete Hermit opening up their store on Thursday in the fashionable Kingly Court boutique shopping centre just-off Carnaby Strret in London.

Very Good News, Concrete Hermit to open another shop!

September 8, 2010
Thumbnail image for Very Good News, Concrete Hermit to open another shop!

I really like Concrete Hermit, they’re the kind of people I’m glad to have in Britain bridging the scene between art and t-shirts, and the last couple of times I’ve been to London I’ve always tried to visit their shop/gallery off Brick Lane, but it’s a bit out of the way for a tourist like [...]

TshirtMarket – Australia’s answer to Renegade

August 26, 2010
Thumbnail image for TshirtMarket – Australia’s answer to Renegade

Here’s an idea I like, t-shirt markets. I’m sure that those of you in LA, Chicago, and Brooklyn are going “yeah, they’re awesome” because they’ve got the Renegade crew rolling through every year (6 months?) but for the rest of us things are sorely lacking. That’s obviously a bit of a generalisation but I haven’t [...]

Photo-tours: Exposed Clothing in Cinncinnati, Ohio!

Thumbnail image for Photo-tours: Exposed Clothing in Cinncinnati, Ohio!

A few days ago on my Twitter I put out a call for t-shirt brands and stores to get in touch if they wanted to put a photo tour of their shop/office/aquarium on Hide Your Arms and Exposed Clothing were one of the first to respond (though, as store owner Chuck usually gets up at [...]

LadyUmbrella go bricks & mortar!

Thumbnail image for LadyUmbrella go bricks & mortar!

Really big news from Ireland’s favourite women’s t-shirt store, they’ve gone and opened a store (as in one that people can visit in person rather than clicking on). From what I can tell they’ve got space in something called the Loft Market at the Powerscourt Centre in Dublin, which I assume to be a bunch [...]

Coty Gonzales visits the Gama Go store in San Francisco

Thumbnail image for Coty Gonzales visits the Gama Go store in San Francisco

Coty actually visited the Gama-Go store back in April as part of his trip around the US, but for some reason it’s taken me until now to point it out to you guys. Coty doesn’t go into too many details about the store (though really, how much could he write?), but it sounds good, and [...]

Pics from the Roktic pop up shop launch night

September 17, 2009

Usually when I see a pop up shop I wonder why they’re open for such a short amount of time, and looking at Roktic’s short-term shop on Brick Lane I’m tempted to say the same, but I’m sure they have good reason, maybe if this week goes well they might do a longer residency (perhaps [...]

Roktic’s Pop Up Shop hits Brick Lane (because there wasn’t enough cool stuff there already)

September 14, 2009

I won’t be able to make it down to this week to the Roktic pop up shop, but I wholeheartedly recommend that London based HYAers do (and drop me an e-mail to say what you thought if you do go, please).

HYA Tours the Spreadshirt HQ in Leipzig

June 30, 2009

Whilst I was in Berlin for T-Shirt Day it seemed like a great idea to hop on the ICE train (which isn’t as cool as it sounds) and head 100 miles south of the capital to the city of Leipzig to check out Spreadshirt’s much-larger-than-I-expected HQ and production facility. If any of you are wondering, [...]

Go visit Print Liberation in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia

June 3, 2009

When I left Philly to embark on my great journey around the West coast I resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn’t get to visit the new Print Liberation store up in Northern Liberties. However, before flying home to Great Britain (emphasis on the Great), I did spend a couple more days in Philly [...]
