Let’s be honest, if you think of polo shirts, you tend to think about guys wearing polos with a little embroidered horse on them, or if you’re in the UK/Europe it might be a crocodile (is Lacoste popular in the US? I can’t remember). That’s fine, but it’s normal, and if you’re visiting HYA chances are you don’t want to wear something normal, so these fun polo shirts from Japanese brand Publik are very welcome for those times when a t-shirt is too casual, but a shirt is too formal. With Publik being a fairly premium brand and Genevieve Gauckler and Sho Watanabe doing the design work it’s fair to say that we aren’t in bargain basement territory with these polos, but if you like them to the degree of $78ish then have at it.

I wish that we could see these new items in the flesh at Super7, but since they aren’t even released yet (don’t worry, you’ll just have to wait a couple of hours) I guess we can’t blame them. I like the polo shirts more than the hoodie because it subverts the norm, everyone is used to seeing a little horse on a polo shirt, and this grim reaper version is just subtle enough that people won’t notice it for a while, which I think it’s pretty neat.

Considering how popular Half Life is it’s no wonder that TeeFury decided it would be a good idea to produce a related shirt.

Nice Sherlock shirt from RIPT today.

This isn’t exactly the kind of thing I usually write about, but I like geek.chic so I’ll throw them a bone in this case.

WeLoveFine.com have added a bunch of Marvel themed polo shirts to their store.

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.

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.

Costiness=£14 Buy it at Danse Macabre

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.

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.

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.

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