Six tee, one crew neck, and one snapback hat, that’s what I’d call a solid release from
Simply Complicated for the Spring. There’s nothing too busy here, they’re all strong, icon-like designs (I’m being careful not to describe them as iconic) and I’ve be happy to wear any of them.



Go ahead, take a good look at the new Winter line from Tribe, I sure did and it impressed me (a lot.) Between the six new tees and the new crewneck, I am not sure what I love best, but you can definitely call me a fan. I prefer the simple aspects about all the designs; their name placed amongst well designed, clean motifs – it’s pretty stunning. While you’re there, take a look at their Fall 2011 line, the entire collection will be on sale until Sunday, February 5th.

Tribe also released a lookbook for the Winter line, showcasing their cool tees (and a lot of pretty people), which is guaranteed to get you excited about the new line! So go take a peek, you won’t be sorry – that’s a promise!

Sleepy Dan hood sweaties released in December, I had to release one cut n sew project for the first year so you can be sure there will be some more customized designs for the upcoming years! I can not emphasize enough, process is the most important part of any project. The rugby style hoodie is a design just recently hitting trend so I had to make some comfortable enough to bear the Sleepy Dan brand! In my day job as an apparel designer, I have learned how to work with embroidery shops to create apparel patterns, but sometimes several of the finishing steps have to be done on your own to save on cost. That’s how I was able to make these hoodies so affordable.

Coming from the manufacturer, I had to make some custom modifications past adding the logo embroidery appliques and the new custom neck labels for outerwear… This hoodie has several exposed cover stitch seams, so you can easily see it’s custom made, but the excess seam fabric had to be trimmed up a little more to be finished.

After finishing, the logo embroidery appliques are hand stitched to the garment, then the size labels are machine stitched into the neck seam. What makes this hoodie so special is the herringbone cotton twill neck seam, rugby placket, and hood seam edge. The time invested to this project is longer than a t-shirt design, but the fan and blogger reviews of the hood sweatie are amazing for the first cut n sew design. Research and development are a key role in the process of a successful project, so don’t overlook your process at any stage! Hope you got one before they sold out…
I’m not nearly cool enough to have heard of Marshall Artist before Street Casuals dropped me an e-mail about them, but I like their style, everything is very clean and wearable. I could natter on for a while but to be honest the SC press release about the goods is far too well put together for me to ignore, so you can find that after the break.

Ninenuckles is a new clothing company based in the UK.
Aimed at the older bruised generation of skaters, slammers and the ones who don’t like big prints.
Andy: It’s quite hard to judge a company when they’re producing things like this that are quite minimal, the quality of the products makes so much more of a difference and that’s something we cannot judge from pictures alone, but I certainly like the idea of a company for skaters that don’t necessarily want to be quite as loud with their clothing.
