Just a thought; does anyone make mixtapes for anyone nowadays? Mixtapes on cassettes? Everyone did that. CDs? Yup, and you could even make your own album art too. MP3s? Not so much. Does anyone remember romance?

Obey have a pretty good view from the top of the mountain when it comes to the streetwear world, and with good reason. I like the way that the print happily bounds across the zipper, and the black sits well on top of the heather grey, and I’m always a fan of a funnel neck on a track jacket. I’m not so sure about the bits on top of the shoulders though, what are they called? I get the feeling its something to do with flying or pilots?

Y’know, I’d love to be like John Cusack in High Fidelity and have a zen-like quality for crafting perfect mixtapes, but I usually find myself dumping a few recently downloaded MP3s (legal ones, well, as legal as Stereogum gets) onto a CD and burning it before I head for a night out (its a 20 minute drive to go see my friends). As such, my mixtapes are usually not well formed… (wait for the segue)

… unlike this form-fitting hoodie from Backseat Kiss Clothing (yeah, they’ve been featured before, but this is one sweet hoodie). I’m sure I’ve seen that style of design somewhere before, but knowing what retro-nostalgia fans people on the internet are, its pretty much guaranteed that I would’ve seen a tee in this style at some point. Regardless of originality, it’s still a very well made design, with a subtle working in of the brand’s name. Also, I’m a sucker for baby blue, but it does come in black if you like it that way.
