Scribtee, the design competition offshoot of ShirtCity, have dropped a couple of new designs on us, and guess what? They’re both good!

The top tee is called ‘Human Nature‘ and is by an artist called kakolak (read an interview here), and the lower pic has ‘Weird City‘ on it, which was designed my malota. Both are printed on American Apparel tees and available for €22 now.

Me, I wouldn’t wear anything that suggested I spend a lot of my money ‘helping to put girls through college’, but if you want to, knock yourself out. Crooked Monkey have not one but two designs celebrating Client #9.

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.

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!

So, Go Ape just had to join the jetset and get themselves a fancy new site, eh? I like it, it’s kind of a cartoon version of a web2.0 site (apolos for frankly unnecessary use of the W-word).

And in celebration of this (or maybe because its September now and I can hear the rain outside my window) they’ve started selling their Boo Boo Walker design in that most awesome of forms - the hoodie!

Details are a bit limited on the site (you have to put the hoodie in your shopping basket to find out that it’s asphalt coloured), but they’re printed on American Apparel pullover hoodies, which I love since receiving my first AA hoodie earlier this week, not that I hated them before, of course.

I’ve wanted to post about Owl Movement for ages, but they used to be a tee only outfit, but now they’ve added a hoodie to their roster, and although it was produced by a couple of brothers from Australia called Huskworks it still manages to smoothly fit in with the range at OM.

The hoodie they’ve produced is pretty cool, I *think* it glows in the dark, except for the purple robot on the top right. I’m not sure if I’m too into the whole upside down and horizontal robot thing, I don’t quite get it, but I see it around on a lot of designs, so clearly it’s what people are into. That said, I do still think that it’s well designed, and it looks pretty detailed, it’s printed on AA, and come on, it (probably) glows in the freakin’ dark!

Costiness=$40 URL=Robots by Huskworks. The hoodie is on a ‘very small run’, so be aware of that.

*UPDATE* I can’t believe that I forgot to mention that the tee version of this design was featured on the season finale of Alias. Take a look at Owl Movement’s blog for some pics.

Ohmygod! I just thought of a new name for a really placid clothes blogger ‘The Soft Touch’ (if I see that in couple of weeks, I want credit, and the .com is gone already btw).

Remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned that I wasn’t bitter about Oddica not sending me a freebie. Well, I really, really wasn’t bitter, but they still got in touch with me within a few hours and asked me my size and address, which was really cool, and now has me questioning my power as a blogger, so I’m pretty annoyed that Ferrari haven’t shipped me an Enzo to test out…

*Full Disclosure* You may well have noticed that Oddica are one of the new affiliates with HYA, but you know you can trust me, right?

Full review can be found after the jump, oh, and I took lots of photo’s, I even used a tripod. Oh, and you might want to get a drink, it’s a long review.

It’s not every day that you see someone taking the time to have a stitched design rather than regular screenprinting. That’s why this track jacket from Double D Apparel caught my eye (and yes, the name is about boobs), its pretty simple, with a vertical design, but that would serve to frame the body, and whatever you were wearing underneath.

Oh, and everything Double D produce comes ’supersized’, which is great for us big guys, but the skinny hipsters (I know you’re out there!) should bear that in mind if considering a purchase.

Costiness=$100 Australian, which is about $75 USD, from Nice Produce.

I lined up a load of Monsieur T links in the del.icio.us, and what does he go and do? Has a massive sale, so most of the stuff I’ve picked may well be gone by the end of the month. If only he’d stop thinking about designing and selling excellent wearables and start making sure that the clothes bloggers could keep their ridiculous posting schedules on track. Does he realise that I’m (probably) going to have to spend like 30 MINUTES looking for new stuff now… shudder.

You can see the front, and it’s obivous that it’s nicely designed, only a fool would disagree, and as a child of the 80s, like so many, I pity the fool!

My favourite part is actually what you can’t see in my chosen pic, on the back, on one of the shoulders there is some handwritten-style text that says ‘Lets travel’. So if you ever wonder what you should wear when you’re about to go on a flight, I just found it for you.
