My inbox being what it is, sometimes I neglect my e-mails, especially when they come from people I don’t know, I’d rather be writing posts or doing something more fun than responding to e-mails. That laziness unfortunately means that you guys sometimes miss out on some cool brands, and this is one of those cases. I got an e-mail from Chris, the guy behind SockMonkee about a week ago (to clarify, SockMonkee is also Chris’ illustration moniker), and I thought to myself, “I’m sure I recognise that name” so I searched my e-mails and it turns out I was contacted by Chris back in February and never replied, hell, I don’t even know if I read the e-mail!
I wish I had, because SockMonkee as a brand clearly has a lot going for it, good designs printed on AA tees at a reasonable price ($20), what more could you possibly ask for?
Linework is a new-ish label from London combining the work of illustrator Sam Falconer with organic tees, and it looks like a pretty good match to me. As ever though, I take issue with the lack of large images of the designs on the site, there’s no point putting so much time and energy into designing and printing tees if we can’t take a good look at them until they’re in our hands, also, us husk fellows are left out in the cold somewhat as the sizes run S-L, but I’m sure that was merely an issue of budget rather than rampant sizeism. Price-wise, they’re £15 a pop, which is good for an organic tee in the UK, and Sam has a fairly unusual style that you don’t see too often being put onto tees, so there’s definitely something different about this fledgling brand.

I wouldn’t normally post about a
calendar being released, but hey, it’s the weekend, weird things happen, and it looks really cool.
FFee Clothing are another of those companies where you expect good things when they drop new tees, and these two latest editions to their lineup do not disappoint.
Sorry guys, this illustration isn’t available to buy printed on an item of clothing yet, or printed on anything for that matter, but I spotted it on
Olly Moss’ Flickr Photostream and decided that it was an opportunity to post something vaguely seasonal and HYA appropriate, huzzah!
