Gin & Juice by La Fraise

I don’t really know why the Strawberry are rocking this goth look in their product pics today, but I’m all for a bit of imagination when it comes to promo pics, so all power too them… even if they are obscuring the view of the design.
Gin & Juice by La Fraise

The design, for me, is classic La Fraise, its amazing how all of the different t-shirt design competitions manage to carve out their own style, and I think that La Fraise have accomplished that more than most other sites, and their brand is all the stronger for it. A cat and a fox DJing… only in France!

On Top’O the World

I forgot that I had to blog today (even though I picked out the hoodie this afternoon from my big list) and now its almost 3AM, so I am pretty much phoning this one in.

Our zip-up hoodie is another super-soft but super-durable creation from our wringer-washed 380-gram fleece category. The Topo is discharge screen printed across the front of this jacket for a soft hand and features front and back Western yokes — a totally unique attribute for any hoodie. Topo signature stripe zipper taping and a custom zip-pull rounds out the look.

Check out the lines printed on the top of the hood, and that logo, it’s some kind of a rodent with wings, pretty bizarre, and yet pretty cool at the same time.

Now, I’m sure that Nate from The Unknown T-shirt would be the first to admit that he doesn’t own the flashiest website in the world, but this guy is an artist, and I like his tees, so I ain’t going to rag on his site.

A lot of the tees have some kind of an animal theme to them, with a comic/cartoon style, and usually with a hand drawn look. There’s a lot of fun designs on show here, even if I don’t completely understand most of them ( maybe that’s the point?), and they’re offerend at a price that might persuade you that you don’t need another tee from Threadless.

The tee’s are printed on Gildan stock, which I personally like because it tends to be a bit heavier than AA (and the summer days are certainly getting shorter), and I’ve got a Gildan tee which is 4/5 years old and hasn’t got out of shape or faded at all.

To the Forest

Dalila Hoodie by Rebe

I’m pretty sure that the hotness of the girl in the pic isn’t influencing my opinion of this hoodie, but a hot girl and a cool hoodie is my idea of awesomeness.

The print is nice, possibly a bit busy for my liking, but I like the way that its screened over the left-hand pocket, you don’t see that very often, hurrah for innovation! The colour combination is vibrant, though usually with female hoodies I expect there to be more colour, but the use of white works well in this case.

It looks pretty fitted, so keep that in mind if you’re tempted to make a purchase. And I know that summer is coming (there isn’t a cloud in the sky outside my window) so I would recommend that you all follow the young ladies example and wear nothing under your hoodies, because, y’know, it’s hot.
