Yes Huzzah Goods, you are being quoted in the title.

Karmaloop aren’t just one of the world’s biggest streetwear websites, they also have a traditional bricks and mortar store on Newbury Street, Boston (the same street as Johnny Cupcakes store) which has just been redesigned and reopened. I don’t know what it looked like before, but I know it looks pretty freakin’ sweet now. They’ll be selling some of the products that are available online, as well as a few lines that are going to be exclusive to the store. You can also shop online in the store if they don’t stock something you want, and you’ll get free shipping on those online orders, which is quite a clever way of marrying the online and offline experience.

As you’d expect, they’ve also put together a video on KarmaloopTV where the Karmaloop CEO, Greg Selkoe gives you a guided tour of the new retail space. Also as you’d expect, I’ve embedded that video below.

In communist Russia, hoodie wears you! Y’know, because backwards ‘R’s make things Russian…

The Army Hoody features a cotton composition, and a large print on the chest of a rendition of the Anaheim Angels logo, now the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. It’s the Broken Halo Army.

Triumvir aren’t wrong, sports fans can be an army when they travel, just look what happened when the Scottish (Rangers ‘fans’) invaded Manchester with more than 100,000 people a couple of days ago for the Uefa Cup Final.

You might have noticed that I haven’t been posting many items of sleeved clothing recently, which is pretty odd since hoodies are the backbone of HYA, but when I’m spending my days wearing shorts and a t-shirt, sitting by lakes enjoying a cool beverage, writing about hoodies doesn’t make a huge amount of sense. I’ll keep posting about them, just not as much as usual whilst its as hot as it is at the moment.

At the very least, today’s hoodie recommendation comes in a cool and refreshing colourway, which is probably why I’m inclined to post it on a day when I literally can’t see a cloud in the sky out of the window.

I guess looking at this hoodie you don’t think that there’s anything really special going on, just a guy climbing a ladder on on top of a splash of colour, right?

Wrong. As far as I can tell, nothing on this hoodie is printed, it’s all stitched, which I’m guessing is quite a lot of work considering how much is going on at the back of this hoodie. I can’t decide whether I’d actually wear it, but I am certainly impressed by it.

I guess its kind of an aggressive message, but I really like the way that they’ve got an image running across all the words, and the massive print looks pretty good too.Costiness=$24 Link

I saw this tee and laughed, I think that’s enough to make it worthy of a post. I’m a sucker for mashups and parodies, and whoever thought of putting a political slant onto ‘Back to the Future’ had a pretty bright idea.It really does seem as if Obama has wrapped up the vote of graphic designers in America, I see a lot more Obama tees than Clinton tees (no McCain ones at all…), and the Barack fans are usually better designed as well.

It’s not often that you see a hoodie which has shoulder straps on it, in fact I don’t think I can’t recall ever seeing one, which makes this hoodie from Freshjive quite the novelty. Other than the shoulder straps it is a fairly simple hoodie, with the exception of ‘Freshjive’ being written on the lower back, in a style which is a bit too gangster for me, but the black/heather grey contrast works pretty well.

See guys, I told you that I liked funnel hoodies!I’m not actually all that excited by the pattern on this piece, it kind of looks like you’ve already had it for years when you first get the parcel, and the way that they’ve tried to match up the two sides going across the zip is pretty lame, but for some reason I still like it overall. Possibly because if I were going to be a bandit, I probably would own an old hoodie, and I’d probably be too busy dealing with bandit related business to be concerned with the pattern not lining up across the zipper.

Oooh, you logo haters and not gonna be happy with this one, there’s about forty logos on this hoodie, although I think that its quite cool that KR3W have used lots of different versions of their logo, so perhaps you wouldn’t feel like as much of a billboard as usual if you were to slip this item on.

There’s more logos in the hood lining as well, which I think looks quite cool since as you know I’m a fan of labels doing anything interesting with the inside of the hood, and to put a print on instead of just a different colour fabric is a pleasant change of pace.

Question: Do we need more videos on HYA? Answers in the comments please.

Chelsea from Karmaloop TV got in touch with me about one of their latest videos, the one embedded above, which is all about the making of their latest ad for Missbehave Magazine. It’s kind of fun to see interviews with the models that I’ve been posting for the past couple of years, and the video is pretty funny, so watching it wouldn’t be the worst way to spend 3:19 of your life.

This vid also reminded me to check out some more of the content available on Karmaloop TV. I’ve gotta say that I’m impressed with the quality and professionalism of the vids, its way above what you’d expect, so if you’d forgotten about it or written them off in the past, pop on over and give it a second look.
