This info is a month out of date, but if you haven’t seen it before, then I’m sure we can just pretend it’s new and that I ‘m a really on-the-ball blogger.
Tolky Monkys, Spains finest character-based clothing label, have released four brand new hoodies for men and women. This is the second time that they’ve released hoodies, and judging by the fresh dusting of snow I woke up to this morning their timing couldn’t be better. One thing I notice about all the desgins is that the colour palettes are all spot on, they really work, but my favourite aspect of these hoodies? They all have custom hood linings that refelct the character on the design of the hoodie, I love it when a company puts in a contrasting hood lining, it can turn a good hoodie into a great one. I think this might be one of those instances, to the point at which I’ll accept the €49 price point, because you could pay an awful lot more for an awful lot less.
Somehow I missed the e-mail with these tees in, which is a pity because I always enjoy checking out waht
Tolky Monkys are doing, and this case is no different. They’ve really nailed the olour palettes on these tees, and at €22 they’re pretty reasonable by European standards. I’m going to stick my neck out and say that they’re probably the best t-shirt company ever…. that’s based in Madrid and makes character based shirts… I know, I know, it’s a ballsy claim.
In their e-mail to me about this tee Bear Annihiliator said that they’ve given their by-now-quite-familiar bear has been redesigned in the style of a 1920s cartoon with a contemporary twist. Looking at it the first thing that came to mind for me was that this was more of a streetwear style tee. Those aren’t necessarily two conflicting styles, especially as streetwear often incorporates retro illustration. No matter how you try to pigeonhole the style of this design, it’s undeniably fresh (and I mean that in the cool sense, not the bread sense, but by explaining it I’ve now lost all sense of cool, why can’t I just stop typing!).
Costiness=$24 Available from Bear Annihilator for men & women
Infinity Six is a clothing company that was born in August and has a small but growing number of interesting shirts on offer. Yes, all the tees have ‘Inifinity Six’ written on them underneath the main design, so you’d probably expect me to moan about that, but I’m clearly not going to change the clothing industry and stop people writing their names on their shirts so I may as well not bother, especially as IS have actually put some effort in an tailored the text to each design rather than just slapping it on there. The designs run along fairly similar themes (and all look good), so if you’re into character tees you might be pretty happy right now, but if not then Infinity six may not be for you.
