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


[RSS readers may need to open this page in a browser to see the video]

I’m really starting to get into Karmaloop’s Daily Loop, the short news show which covers items from the world of streetwear, new stuff they’re selling, technology and regular stories from the news too, basically stuff I’m interested in. I don’t plan on posting it every day, but I liked yesterday’s clip, so here it is, that and any post I write which has “fake Sarah Palin nudes” in the title is blatantly going to be pageview-grabbing-gold!

Video is NSFW for the aforementioned boobies (nothing too graphic though) and some fairly salty language, but you don’t watch videos at work anyway, right?

My man over in Vancouver, Wrongwroks, has released the second part of his fall collection and it stick to the tried and tested formula of mashing up pop culture icons. There’s also a bit of a sad story to one of the tees being released. Tony’s dog, Nana, died recently, but there were already plans afoot to release a tee with her image on it, and Tony decided to continue with the release anyway. I’d say that Nana was the topic that is discussed the most on the Wrongwroks blog, and whilst I’m not exactly an animal lover I must admit that Nana may well be the best looking dog I’ve ever seen (there’s a couple of pics in the gallery), so why shouldn’t she have her own tee?

On a less depressing note, I absolutely love the Dorabob x Comma De Garcon hats from this release.

Wrongwroks continues his/their (I’m never sure which to put) blistering release schedule by putting up their Fall line just a few weeks after returning from a triumphant show in Taipei. I really like the selection of hats that have just been released, the ‘Everyone Steals’ tee is a nice jab at his critics, and the Dorabob character has evolved once again, this time being mashed up with a Marlboro colorway.

Wrongwroks headed out to Taiwan recently to take part in a show called Real Fake. The show exhibited works by three artists, Stay Real, Kea, and of course, Wrongwroks.

Alongside the exhibition of printed works there was also a tee release. Some people arrived at 7am in the morning to ensure they could pick up the new black Dorabob tee by Stay Real, and it didn’t even go on sale until 1pm! The tee was limited to 100 pieces, and sold out in 20 minutes (though there are now a few available on the WR site), so I guess turning up early was actually a pretty good idea. Refreshingly, fans were allowed to take pictures in the exhibition, which is something I like to see, because who are you really harming if you take a picture in a gallery?


Oh, and Wrongwroks has released a couple of really cool hats too.

I’ve gone a bit picture crazy with this post, so if you click through for the rest of the entry (RSS readers might have the whole thing without needing to click through) then there’s a pretty big gallery for you to peruse.

I don’t really know anything about the world of hats, I didn’t even know that they could also be called ‘lids’. I like them and have a small collection for when I just can’t be bothered to sculpt my hair (and it is sculpting sometimes), but my knowledge of who’s hot and who is not is very, very limited. So with that in mind, here’s Hat Hype, a blog all about New Era hats, fitted caps, and lid related news. Anyone know of any other cool hat blogs? I can see myself turning from “Andy the t-shirt guy” into “Andy the t-shirt guy that also wears hats.”

Hat Hype


I wonder how Wrongwroks can possibly eat or drink anything with his tongue placed ever so firmly in his cheek all the time.

I really like the new hat with the dots on it, but I’m not so sure about the tee with tennis ace/hotty Maria Sharapova chowing down on a banana rather suggestively, I can’t see myself wearing it, but I guess that it does fit with Wrongwroks ethos.

For the next three days you guys and girls can get 40% off all apparel and hats at Monsieur T.

Boobies boobies boobies!

The folks over at Mishka NYC must have had a really tough time deciding on the theme for their latest lookbook, because they took the revolutionary step of taking pictures of attractive women wearing the clothes, and also a few pictures of them barely wearing the clothes. I guess that having women model the mens collection is somewhat original, but having the women so scantily clad means that you don’t really get to see much of the clothing, so it’s actually pretty hard to pass comment on the new range.

Click on through to this obviously NSFW lookbook if you know no one’s stood behind you. And all the items shown are available for sale in their store too.

It seems like it wasn’t all that long ago that I was blogging about their Spring line being released, so I guess summer has been creeping up on me because the summer line has been released and is now available in very limited quantities (something that was stressed in the press release) on their website. Click on the thumbnail to see the whole line up.Monsieur T.

I really like it when people send me things that aren’t tees. Let’s be clear, I love it when people send me tees and really appreciate people taking the time to package stuff up for me, but being sent stuff that isn’t tees or hoodies is a real novelty for me. Wrongwroks, who I think its fair to say I’m a fan of, sent over a couple of hats and a couple of sticker sets to HYA central, and after a hard day digging up a cobbled road (no, really) I sat in the garden and took some pictures of the goods. I’m no expert on hats (though I am rather partial to them), so I’m just going to let the pictures do the talking. So if you want to find out what’s in that box (and see me rocking some seriously hot modeling looks) then click on through… unless you’re reading the RSS feed, in which case you’ve just got to scroll down (possibly, it’s feed reader dependent apparently).
