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.

I’m always surprised by how much Cheap Monday’s stuff costs, admittedly, Caliroots is a Swedish store and those Swedes always have to pay more than pretty much everywhere else, but I don’t think that a company selling a hoodie for $100 can really call themselves Cheap Monday.

It is a cool looking hoodie though, I haven’t featured an all over print for quite a long time and I think that raindrops, multi-coloured or otherwise, really lend themselves well to this kind of print. The print continues inside and outside of the hood as well, which is always good to see.

Just because England can never beat Sweden at football (by which I mean the version where people use their feet rather than their hands) doesn’t mean I have anything against them, hell, I thought Stockholm was freakin’ awesome when I went there a few years ago. And now I’m e-returning to Svenska via the caliroots store, which I had presumed would be based in California, but I guess its just the clothes that have roots in American culture…

… Much like this track jacket from MHI which is inspired by a movie called ‘The Warriors’, which I’ve never seen, but with an IMDB rating of 7.3 it might be worth a rental. I don’t want to get off track here, but there is another film called ‘Warriors‘ (starring Gary Busey) that came up when I was searching, and one of the users comments was “really bad, even for a Canadian film”. Ok, now back to the track jacket.

I think you’ll agree that it’s a pretty bold design, and I like the font in a spray-paint can kind of a way, and the style of the map is cool, with the messy outline drips contrasting with the tourist-information-esque pictures of the subway cars. And on the front of the jacket there is an MHI/The Warriors logo mashup on the left breast.

Costiness=799 SEK (about 111 US Dollars, which kinda shocked me as being a bit high) URL
