Big Crown by XLarge

big crown pullover by XLarge
I haven’t mentioned XLarge for a while, but they dropped some fresh gear last week that just begged to be mentioned. I know it incorporates their logo and some people aren’t down with that, but its kind of what XLarge do, and I feel compelled to respect the audacity of a company that puts a crown on top of their own logo. It’s a nice looking, chunky, faux-camouflage too, but its pretty much begging for gold foil behind the camo.

WE the people

WESC00004-03CHESTERzoom2[1]

It’s Monday, so it’s time for me to have an extended weekend and let someone else do the searching for me. This week t-shirt blogger Aris from the rather excellent Addicteed.com was asked what hides his arms, and the lover of camo landed the following gem in my inbox:

There’s this jacket/zip up hoodie by WE clothing titled ” The Chester ”
(it can be found at karmaloop.com under the jackets section - and probably in some other online retailers)

I’m usually not into all over prints but I have a weakness for camo patterns and this one is really nice. It looks like a common camo hoodie from far away but once you get closer there are some very nice details (Eiffel Tower, Skyscrapers etc.) I was between this and the blue version of the addict method zip hoody swift camo ( I think you featured the green version a while ago) but if I had to choose between the two I’d go for the chester hoodie by WE

Whilst I’m not camo crazy, I can appreciate the details in this design, so thanks to Aris for helping out here at HYA, the support that HYA gets from total strangers really is appreciated.

Disappearing Act

A couple of days ago I tagged a hoody by Addict to my del.icio.us thinking I might use it for a future post, and then just a couple of hours later, I get an e-mail from the good folks at Jungle Life told me to check out the new camo line from Addict. Great minds, eh?

I was actually going to highlight a different product, but I’ve gone off it a bit now, it feels a bit hip-hop to me, whilst the camo range is a bit more Ian Brown. At first I found myself not too into the whole camo thing, I don’t think it would suit me, but I can imagine it looking good on a lot of people, so this is my altruism for the day. There’s various styles available, but I picked this track jacket as an example.

Costiness= £64.99 (£5 cheaper than the official addict store…) from Urban Industry.
