Wondering why there are so many celebrity posts on HYA today?
Look here for an explanation.
What’s the deal with American people thinking that just because they’re descendants of Irish people that they can go around thinking that they’re really Irish? The same goes for ‘Scottish’ American people. Its always confused me, especially in a nation where the vast majority seem to be very proud of your own country and its virtues.
I’m not sure if its the exact same shirt, but you can buy an Adidas Notre Dame shirt which has the fightin’ leprechaun on the front of it (and ‘Notre Dame’ written on the back), right here, or on pretty much any Notre Dame site..

If this were a kids range I wouldn’t be at all surprised, but apparently adults are actually expected to wear this stuff, I’m sure its intentionally over the top though, so it don’t think its people trapped inside a hipster bubble of ironic clothing that they, like, “wear”.

Even though it barely feels as if we had summer here in the UK, I think its fair to say that summer has well and truly gone, and that means its time for me to start getting back into what HYA is all about… the
hoodies.
What better way to get back in the swing of things than with a hoodie that has 2 hoods? Yup, as you may have gathered from the photos, there is one hood on the outside, a black knit which fits with the rest of the hoodie, and then you unzip the first hood and a black nylon hood is revealed. I don’t know why you’d want to have two hoods on a hoodie, but I still this its pretty cool, and Y-3 make fantastic looking clothes, I remember trying to convince one of my friends why they’re so cool when we spotted the Y-3 store in Roppongi, Tokyo… I failed.

Mainstream brand alert! Mainstream brand alert!
Have no fear, I’ll get back to posting about stuff that is printed by some dude in a poorly-ventilated garage, but sometimes I’ve just gotta post this stuff.
Natterjacks are selling two very limited edition Adidas tracksuits, the first is a black and red leather (yes, a leather tracksuit) number based upon the 80s original, which would be perfect for completing your Run DMC cosplay outfit if you’re happy to hand over £550 ($1010) for it. Up next, a track jacket that actually has stainless steel woven into the thread, which is fairly clever, but rather pointless and gaudy. In their product description Natterjacks say they they only have a couple of these so they’ll go quick, but I get the feeling that they might be hanging around for a while with a £400 pricetag, unless I have seriously underestimated the amount of disposable income that rappers in the UK have going spare for bling.
Since I wouldn’t want you to come away from this post thinking “that was fun, but why not point I out something I should buy Andy, you handsome devil?” I’ve found (ok, that’s a lie, I got sent an e-mail about them, blogging is so easy sometimes!) 3 tees from the Adidas Originals range that are about as retro as their track suits cousins, but you might actually want to wear them. All three are available from Urban Industry for £24.50, which is probably a bit pricey for our buddies in the States, but actually pretty good going for a UK shop.

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).
