Fur Face Boy release very impressive 6th collection.

Andy — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:00:35 +0000

Wow, wow, wow. To say that I’m impressed by this latest release from Fur Face Boy is something of an understatement. Their designs feel like a lot of fun to me, as if I’d smile every time I pulled one out of the cupboard in the morning.

The shirts come in at $29.99 a piece and you can get free shipping at the moment with the coupon code FFBSHIPPING.

A nice polo shirt be Danse Macabre

Andy — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 16:00:43 +0000

This polo is only available in size large, I thought I’d get that out of the way before people got their hopes up too much. It’s pretty rare that I post a polo shirt on HYA, I don’t have anything against them, it’s just pretty rare that I see one I like, but the simplicity of this shirt is attractive to me, especially with the scissors crest colour matching the accents on the polo.

Sutsu: Snow and Skate Clothing from the UK

Andy — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 03:00:15 +0000

Sutsu were featured in last weekends ‘no-word’ posts, which some people liked, and some people didn’t, but Sutsu have got enough going on that they warrant being mentioned again, and with words this time!

I don’t know how long they’ve been around, but their site and the way they act makes it feel as if they’re a mature confident company that has a strong brand focus, and that’s important in the UKwhere it almost feels as if you need to be an established brand to get noticed by anybody. Judging by their ethics page it’s clear that they give a damn about the planet too, which is hardly surprising from a brand that like to surf, I imagine it would be hard to spend that much time in the sea and not feel a need to protect the planet in some way, or at least try not to harm it.

In terms of design, if you’re the kind of person that doesn’t like logos all over a clothing line, you may well want to look away now, because items where the logo is a focus account for about half of the items in store.. To be fair it’s a good logo, nice and simple, and they certainly know how to pick out a good colourway, but there’s probably a reason why my favourite pieces from their summer release are the ones which aren’t all about the logo.

Sale on at Tolky Monkys until the end of the month

Andy — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:00:18 +0000

Clearly I’ve been sat on this sale for a bit longer than I should have, but you’ve still got a few days to get in on the sale action at Tolky Monkys. Tees €12, hoodies €39, and polos €25 for a few more days.

Exploded Hoodies & Polos

Andy — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:59:14 +0000

That title just gave me a great idea for a video… now I just need to work out how to blow hoodies and I’ll be a millionaire (an internet millionaire, not an actual millionaire).

The popular Exploded series has expanded from tees to putting a couple of designs on hoodies and polos. I’d like to see the DaVinci style hoodie have a much larger print, but it simply isn’t possible with the kangaroo pocket in the way, so there’s not much they could do about that, but the Exploded 128 design is much more accommodating of that size of print. Hoodies are $33 (+$7 shipping), polos $33 (+$5 shipping), and they will both start shipping on October 29th.

New guys polo shirts from Tolky Monkys

Andy — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:00:43 +0000

I guess that there may well be occasions over the summer when you want to where something that is ever-so-slightly more upscale than a tee, a polo shirt may well be the answer to that particular sartorial conundrum, and I’m sure there would be far worse options than picking up a polo from my favourite Madrid-based purveyor of character-based clothing (yep, that’s a niche), Tolky Monkys.

Go straight to the polos here or get more details about them at the TM blog.

Say Hello To Skilla Fashion

Andy — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:00:29 +0000

There seems to be a split between me liking and not liking the designs of Skilla Fashion. I like the use of foil, and the tee with ‘Birth of a Hero’ text written in Birth Of A Hero type is pretty clever (has anyone done a line with the names of fonts written in the named font?), but then some of the designs just aren’t working for me, not that there’s anything particularly wrong with them, I’m just not blown away.

Apparently people have election sales now [Oddica]

Andy — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:00:25 +0000

I don’t really know what the connection is between the American election and them selling t-shirts for $10 ($18 polos, $25 hoodies), but I don’t want to question it too much in case I jinx it and they pull the sale.

Wrongwrok’s Fall Collection 2008

Andy — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 08:00:50 +0000

Wrongwroks continues his/their (I’m never sure which to put) blistering release schedule by putting up their Fall line just a few weeks after returning from a triumphant show in Taipei. I really like the selection of hats that have just been released, the ‘Everyone Steals’ tee is a nice jab at his critics, and the Dorabob character has evolved once again, this time being mashed up with a Marlboro colorway.

50% off at Tolky Monkys for 5 HYA readers

Andy — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:00:22 +0000

Tolky Monkys has hooked up HYA (and a few other blogs) with an exclusive coupon code that will give you 50% off your order… but there’s a catch. This coupon will only work five (5/cinq/cinco/funf/quinque/wu/panch/go/khamsa) times. Once it has been used five times it will no longer be functional, which basically means that you’re going to have to be quick to use this, so as soon as you’ve finished reading this I suggest that you run, don’t walk, over to Tolky Monkys and buy something.

The coupon code is: HIDESEPT08

If the 5 uses don’t get snapped up quickly (I have no way of knowing who and when it has been used) then the code will expire on September 19th. There is no limit on the amount of items that you can order with this code, so this is be a great opportunity for Americans to pick up something from Europe without having to take out a mortgage.
