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

The buy now link on rumplo goes to a blog with no purchase link, on Don’t Question Kings store they don’t have it available for sale, but they do have a picture of it on their front page… basically, I don’t know where you can get it, but I’m sure you could if you tried hard enough.

Vice City Wmoen’s Tee by Cardboard Robot @ Karmaloop

Cars and guns, now that’s a recipe for success!

There’s something totally 80s about the way that they’ve got a blue to pink fade going on with the print, which I guess makes sense considering Cardboard Robot’s inspiration comes from the most 80s-tastic version of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Gun Show hoody by Rogue Status @ Mauve Online

Okay, I know that this hoodie is ‘kinda’ expensive, but please consider that I’ve just got back from a city where it felt like there was a Chanel or Louis Vuitton store on every corner, and you can understand why I think this hoodie is pretty good value.

The colourway really appeals to me on this one, and the pattern is pretty cool too, I guess its one of those items that you’re either going to love or hate (guns are a turn off for a lot of people I’d guess), so there isn’t much point me babbling on about it.

Ok, I know I seem to post about Backseat Kiss almost as much as Naive or Oddica, but if they keep kicking out awesome hoodies, I’m not really in a position to stop posting their super-cute model now, am I?

You all know that I like to see innovation in placement with my cotton goods, so when I saw a six-shooter holstered in the pocket I was immediately impressed, and the “official backseat kiss cowboy badge” looks pretty nice too, incorporating the robot logo into a classic icon, though if I were to be particularly pedantic I’d have to say that it was a sheriff’s badge, yes?

I’m sure that some of you might have some reservations wearing a hoodie that gives the appearance that you’re carrying some kind of weapon, especially since you apparently can’t wear certain items of clothing in parts of America now, but you know what, forget it, if you’ve got a cowboy/sheriff badge you deserve a screenprinted handgun!

I may not speak German, but I am fluent in style (if I do say so myself), which is why this hoodie from Sabre Style has found its way onto my screen.

I do like it, but I feel that with a few alterations it could be much better. They’ve got a great looking design there, but it just seems a bit small, something with that kind of detail really deserves to be in the center and wayyyy bigger. That and it seems to be printed using vinyl (could be, and probably am, wrong), perhaps a water-based soft ink with a sliught fade would have been more appropriate considering the cowboy-esque design?

That said, it’s still a good design, and it’s printed on American Apparel so you know it’ll feel nice.
