Are you all ready for some more Wrongwroks news? Or at the very least enjoy a bit of Nat-licious eye candy?It would seem that I’m not the only one smitten with the model, since she’s popped up on a few designs recently, the latest of which is a collaboration with a Singaporean store called Super Clique. You can also now get the embroidered Dorabob character on a red American Apparel track jacket with white raglan piping (which is a sweet colourway), and they’ve taken the WcDonald trucker hat (basically, the McDs logo upside down) super-stealthy by offering it in a black-on-black combo. As usual, this is probably all limited edition, so if you want it, go and get it… now.

I don’t really know what you guys think of a t-shirt with a photo of a girl in her bra, but I kind a like it, although I’m sure it would receive a few less-than-complimentary stares if I wore it to go shopping, and a few unwanted stares from drunk guys on a night out.

More pictures after the break (I haven’t done a ‘more’ for months, have I?)

I got an extremely enthusiastic e-mail from Mare Rosemayer, one half of the duo behind Effin Effigy, and her energy was enough to refocus my attention on blogging, just as I was tempted to leave the desk and go get some shortbread. Offtopic, but if shortbread is, well, short bread, is there such a thing as ‘longbread’, and is ‘mediumbread’ just regular bread? Google offers nothing but terrible jokes on the subject.

I’m not even going to spend time trying to segue from shortbread to Polynesia (the inspiration for the design)… this track jacket looks cool, there seems to be a lot of detail in the design, although the pics are a bit small (one of the few problems I have with the Big Cartel powered stores), the colourway works well, and there’s a bit of print on the collar too which is pretty unusual.

Here’s their blurb:

A superb collab between the infamous Z-Spot (of Strange Famous Records forum fame) and Zagadka- two Z’s in full effect.

Z-Spot has hand illustrated a Polynesian inspired design which is printed atop a cloud of lime and cream. A removable green fabric covered button is yours to place wherever you’d like!

Jacket is 100% cotton in a light weight french terry full zip up with cadet collar.

I think that this might be the first time that I’ve posted a track jacket that might actually be appropriate at the track… can you feel history being made?

I think that if I was to wear this in the UK, I would be labeled a chav, and with good reason too, I can imagine a British teen wearing this track jacket whilst sat at a bus stop slanging abuse at whoever walks past. But I’d like to think that in areas that aren’t teeming with loutish youths that wearing this jacket wouldn’t cause old people to immediately fear you, and instead allow you to enjoy it for what it is, a nice throw-back to classic Adidas styling without going to overboard with the retroness.

You know what’s cool about this track jacket? You’ve gotta look pretty damn close to tell that its made by one of the largest sportswear manufacturers in the world. I like that, I know that people stay away from companies like Nike and Adidas precisely because they don’t want to feel as if they’re being treated like a walking billboard, and its pieces like this that I find refreshing, of course, the fact it costs about double what I’d expect to find on an Adidas pricetag probably has something to do with the lack of branding, but its still refreshing.The cherry and gold colourway is pretty gorgeous, especially as it is set off by the little black pattern up around the shoulders and arms (which does include some teeny-tiny little Adidas logos).

I went snowboarding once, I have some ankle problems and figured that just strapping myself to a board where my ankles wouldn’t move was the best option… I was wrong, as it turns out people that don’t have great balance off the snow aren’t that well suited to sliding down a mountain in Austria!This is a pretty cool looking track jackets, the colourway is nicely balanced and subdued, although I would quite like to see the print on a black background, I think that might suit it more. The way that the winter-y scene rolls all the way around the body is quite interesting as well.

Just a thought; does anyone make mixtapes for anyone nowadays? Mixtapes on cassettes? Everyone did that. CDs? Yup, and you could even make your own album art too. MP3s? Not so much. Does anyone remember romance?

Obey have a pretty good view from the top of the mountain when it comes to the streetwear world, and with good reason. I like the way that the print happily bounds across the zipper, and the black sits well on top of the heather grey, and I’m always a fan of a funnel neck on a track jacket. I’m not so sure about the bits on top of the shoulders though, what are they called? I get the feeling its something to do with flying or pilots?

Do you know the game ‘Pipes’ (thats probably not the real name, but if you know of it then you’ll know what I mean)? This design just reminded me of it. How random was it that it was a mini-game in BioShock? One of the games of the year contained a game that I would remove from my cellphone if it wasn’t locked on there, and a game that is probably only on my cellphone because the developers couldn’t think of another decent way of making use of the touchscreen.

Anyway, I figured it was about damn time to drop back in on Naive Clothing, and it would seem that they’ve been rather busy. Plenty of new designs for you to sink your teeth into, and this ‘Waterworks’ windbreaker is up there with the best of them. I really like the way that the design slides just-and-so past the zip, as if they were pointing out to us how more thought had gone into this piece than you would first imagine (even if they warn you that irregularities may occur because of the trans-zipper print).

After last weeks 7 tee marathon, The IT Crowd took things easier with an episode that took place over the course of one day in TV time, which meant no wardrobe changes for Roy, and resulted in me finding the tee before the credits had even rolled on the sixth and final episode of the second series.

It’s quite a cool tee, if that’s your sort of thing, I like the size of the graphic and the colours are pretty complimentary, although I’m not really a fan of the text that’s on the back (”Guns don’t kill people magic missiles do”) since it takes this tee from having a bit of 8-bit charm to being straight up nerdy, but I guess that if you’re buying tees from J!NX then you’ve accepted your geeky fate already.

The tee that Roy is wearing in the episode appears to be slightly lighter than the one on the product page, suggesting that its from the now discontinued ‘forest green’ colourway (available in 2XL and small till they run out I guess), but you can buy the same design in the slightly darker ‘deep forest’ colourway.

So, are there any other shows you guys think I should be tracking?

That’s not exactly a whole lot more information I can give you beyond the headline. Here’s the link. Maybe 25% off will make their shipping prices more palatable. Oh, and this one is just for the men, sorry ladies.

The bright blue paint spots seem a bit unnecessary to the design, I guess it’s meant to accentuate the rain aspect, but I really like the yellow print, yellow and blue always go together so well. The burgundy of the cuffs and inner collar looks really nice too.
