A blog about hoodies & t-shirts, with news from the independent clothing world

It’s been an incredibly long time since we last took a look at Lenko, and thankfully they’re packing a catalogue filled with cool, if slightly bizarre designs. Unfortunately their pics are a bit small so its pretty hard to make out the details, but I think we can get the gist of it.

The text reads “Have you noticed the squirrels are stocking up on canned goods?” I haven’t, around more area I have spotted a lot more of the damned grey squirrels and a lot less of the native red squirrels, but that’s probably beside the point… probably.

Lovecraft by At-elier @ People Like Us

Yes, it most certainly is not a cheap t-shirt (for Americans and your puny dollar), but it is art, and art costs money (fact!).

This simple line drawing has no hidden images or meanings. If you see anything but black lines, consult your optometrist or book in an appointment with a chiropractor, or go see a witch doctor who can make you some noxious potion containing mildly poisonous toad skins. There is nothing here but black lines (and maybe white lines).

Oh, except for that huge freaking skull in the middle of course, that’s meant to be there.

Very, very cool idea from Swiss design duo At-elier, and damn finely executed to boot.

What Hides the Teejunkie’s Arms?

botwotThis is the first of what I hope will become a regular feature where I ask respected members of the blogosphere, designers, my friends, and anyone who e-mails what their favourite hoody or piece of arm hiding apparel is.

The first person to be kind enough to get involved was the teejunkie from teejunkie.com. I’ve been a fan of his blog for a long time, so it’s great that he’s taken some time out during the re-modelling of his site to let us know what take pride of place in his wardrobe…

the winner is… my “Wot?!” hoody. It’s got all the goods. Excellent hand drawn artwork that is very well reproduced. It’s by Bucket’o’Thought - http://www.bucketothought.com/prod.htm and it’s as soft as a bucket of titties. Probably the softest I’ve ever had, even after maybe a dozen washes. (purchase it though Nice Produce - http://niceproduce.com )

Soft as a bucket of titties! Well how could I not want to buy it? I like his choice too, it’s hand-drawn, yet the artist has drawn it as if it was through a fisheye lens, awesome.

Costiness=$120 (don’t worry, that’s Australian dollars), £50 to us Brits, which is roughly $90 USD. Clearly there’s more money in blogging tee’s than hoodies!
