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

AITA have dropped a new tee and it is a shout-out to a music blog from Philly that apparently has really big teeth. As I’ve mentioned before this week, I’m a bit pushed for time writing posts, so I’m going to hand you over to the rather eloquent folks at AITA to do the job for me.

Art In The Age Creative Director Ben Woodward gives a shout out to Philly’s music blog with really big teeth, The Walrus.( http://www.walrusmusicblog.com) The big, music loving personality of this oversized and lovable friend of the sea is expressed perfectly in Ben’s larger-than-life illustration. Available in two color palettes: “Lo Fi” Gray-on-Gray or “Experimental” Turquoise-on-Turquoise”

The tees will be available in men’s sizes Small-Large for $28 and will be released tomorrow [oh, sorry, guess I probably should have posted this yesterday...]. Art in the Age will also be giving away 3 tees to 3 lucky winners in the next 3 weeks!

I’d usually think that grey on grey is the blandest colourway possible, but its actually pretty cool in this case.

Straight from their mailout:

Here’s the deal: You’re the one to run a stick-up on [ 2 one 5 ]. Instead of getting money, you’ll be saving a whole lot. No need for gun violence, robbing people, or purse snatching. We’ll be raising our hands and letting you scurry away with exclusive, special prices on the first arrivals from our Spring/Summer 08 apparel line including our Bandit hoodie and “double trouble” windrunners. As you’re saving those dead presidents, you might as well tip back a few glasses of free Chopin Vodka cocktails (from 7-9 pm) while chomping on complimentary appetizers courtesy of Alfa Restaurant. DJ Skeme will also be on hand to help you get sticky on the dance floor. Get on down to the Walnut Room, leave the violence at home by wearing your Demand Peace tee, and get ready for the Springtime Stick-Up! Bang! Bang!

* Thursday, March 27th
* The Walnut Room–1709 Walnut St, 2nd Floor
* Complimentary Chopin Vodka Cocktails 7-9 pm
* DJ Skeme

I was a little worried about what was going to happen when I opened up an e-mail with ‘Springtime Stickup’ as its title since all I hear about Philadelphia (2one5’s home) is that its the murder capital of America now, take that Washington DC!

The best thing to come out of Philadelphia since cheesesteak sandwiches (I’ve never had a real one but am still amazed by poor imitations), 2one5, have placed some items from their latest range onto the virtual shelves of their store that definitely deserve a slice of your time. They’ve shown me some images from the lookbook and the new hoodies look really, really nice, a slight departure from where they were last season, but also an evolution towards better things in my eyes.2one5
