I get the feeling that someone might have taken quite a long time putting this design together… pity there aren’t more close up pictures though.

Caliroots have brought it once again (you really can’t stop those Swedes) with this great allover hoodie by Rocksmith. I’m a fan of contrasts, and putting this neon green up with that somber black is pretty freakin’ sweet. The hood lining looks pretty interesting too, although its rather odd that they would decide to add in grey to the colour palette just for the hood, personally I think that black would be better suited just to keep everything flowing nicely.

Everyone seems to have been going ga-ga over Loyal Army recently, and with fair reason, they’ve got a really cute and fresh outlook on the tee world, but they do seem to change things up for their range of hoodies. Instead of traditional prints they go with all-overs with small repeated prints broken up with a dash of colour every so often. Personally, I would have like to have seen some of their women’s tees make the straight transition to a hoodie since they’ve got some great designs that are just begging for some sleeves and a hood, but all-overs are still hot at the moment so I can see why they’ve made the choices they have, and in fairness as all-overs go they’ve got some pretty interesting designs available.

Funnily enough, I think that ‘Asterisk’ is actually their least interesting hoodie in terms of pattern, but also one of their most wearable. I guess I’m not really in the mood for grabbing people’s attention with my hoodie choices so far this week, eh gang?

tokidoki were one of the brands/artists that I didn’t expect to see popping up across Hong Kong, but I spotted a lot of people carrying their ‘tokidoki for Lesportsac‘ bags. At first I just presumed that it was another case of HK copyright infringement, but when I saw the same bags on sale in the bowels of hell (also known as Paris Charles De Gaulle airport) I presumed they were the real deal.

tokidoki’s illustrative style is pretty much perfect for me, not so much as clothes (cos I’m a dude), but in terms of art I really like it. There’s a great balance to this hoody, it seems to be teetering on the edge of craziness without ever going too far; the colourway, fun but not too loud; the characters, keeping interest without dominating the piece.

When I saw this hoodie I got a little excited about it. This is a pretty special looking hoodie, the print looks really interesting, and there’s the oversized and largely superfluous button tab closure up at the top of the zip (for a cape-like look, apparently). Then I saw the price, $125, I know I’ve run more expensive things on HYA in the past, and will in the future, but it did get me thinking about the economy, so I’m going to try and hunt out some cheaper hoodies in the future so that when capitalism collapses we’ll all have something to keep us warm.

I’ve mentioned Tokidoki a fair few times in the past, but its usually posted to the womens category, well, today its the guys that are getting in on the Tokidoki action. This hoodie is slightly less cutesy than the design that I usually associate with Tokidoki, but they seem to have retained the visual flair that so often draws me to this brand. It’s not exactly cheap, mind you.

Andre from A Better Tomorrow dropped me a line a few days ago to let me know about their upcoming allover tee who Benny Kohl (whose Scribtee I reviewed back in November). Allover design are still hot property, and this one is a lot less jarring than some that you see, I can imagine it working nicely with quite a simple zip up hoodie.No word on when it will be available but expect it fairly soon.

We all know that Obey are on top of the tree when it comes to streetwear (well, hanging out in the top branches at the very least), and this all-over print is a good example of that. There’s a lot going on, and yet it doesn’t feel all that jarring on the eye, which is something I often find with all-over prints. The three repeating emblems look pretty badass, too.Costiness=$43.99 Link

Hold up, ho-ho-ho-hold up! Deathbot? I can’t believe I missed this off the robot posts!

I like the way that this is an all-over hoodie without being too stereotypically streetwear, I guess that’s probably because the colours don’t contrast too much, except for the lovely dash of colour that pops from the inside of the hood. Having the drawstring being the same as the inner hood colour is a great touch too. Isn’t it odd how I like the design because the colours don’t contrast too much, yet one of my favourite parts of the piece are that the hood and drawstring are an injection of bright colour. I truly am a fickle beast.

For some reason, when I look at this hoodie, the phrase “large and in charge” comes to mind. I have no idea why, it doesn’t even make sense, but I do think that it looks pretty damn cool, maybe the colours could do with popping a bit more, the brown and the burgundy seems a little bit subdued. Anyway, just thinking out loud here, is it conceivable that patterns like this that are used in streetwear are becoming the modern equivalent of tartan?
