Til death do us part white hoodie by academy printwear

Yet again, we have the position of what appears to be a great looking hoodie, let down by frustratingly small pictures. I really hope that Big Cartel (who power this store and many others) make it possible soon for people to have larger pictures of their products because we’re really missing out on the details in what we can see now.

Very cool, intricate design on this. It isn’t that often that you’d see a design like this on the back of a hoodie, it seems rather more suited to the front, but still, you all know that I love an unusual and unexpected printing position. Speaking of which, the print on the side of the hood (even though it is partially their logo) looks like an absolute beaut with the way that it runs down the hood.

Diamonds Aren’t Forever

I don’t really get it when websites have hidden items and secret sales, it just feels like they’re trying not to sell what they’ve spent time and money making. Although in the case of Owl Movement, I’m willing to make an exception, because I know they’re only keeping it on the down low since their new hoodie is seriously limited edition (ie, there isn’t that many of them available) and presumably they want to give loyal fans first dibs on getting one.

And even when they wanted me to know about it, it still took me rather a long time to find out where it was hidden. Whilst I am a nice guy, I’m not going to spoon-feed it all to you, so you’re going to have to find it yourself (coughlookatthetitlecough).

As hoodies go, it’s got a lot to get you hot under the collar, skulls, diamonds, and yes, even an all over print on the back (which I guess isn’t technically all-over, but that seems to be the term that ‘we’ use). The detail on the front with the skull design is contrasted nicely with the simple diamond background, which has a subtle look with the light blue print laid over the heather grey fabric.

In keeping with OM’s idea of keeping things hidden and secret, you’re going to have to click ‘read more’ to see some pics.

Brains are good for your heart

zombie-hoodie-black

I like the idea of putting a print on the back and leaving the front plain, and the zombie print in the back-lower-corner of this hoody from Merch-Bot is pretty stealth, like people will think it’s just a regular plain hoody, and then they’ll notice the notice, and they’ll give an approving nod and smile. Cool points.

Another Ghost Ship

Quick post today, as I’m about to drive home to the country for a long weekend (have no fear, I’ll post on Friday).

Derek over at Enclothe gave me the heads up that they had new Ghost ship hoodies for sale at their store. I know I posted about the same item in the first few days of HiYAr, but now it’s available in Black, and the sizes go up to 2XL. And not to be big headed, but I think that might be a little something to do with my last post…. not really.
