Another coupon code, and its for 15%, what a surprise!

I don’t think I’ve ever followed a post with another post that offers exactly the same discount, I’m sure that means nothing to you, but still, I think it’s weird.

This one is a little different in that its an exclusive though. When you’re putting your order through the virtual tills at Lhome’s store just enter the coupon code hideyourarms and you’ll get 15% of all the shirts.

Lhome also have a few new designs up that I’ve been assured are of a higher quality then previous releases (not that I ever heard any complaints about them) in terms of both print and tee quality, which is always good to hear.

EIO Clothing: Spring/Summer 08 release

EIO Clothing: Spring/Summer 08 release

I got a chance to meet up with EIO at Margin back in February, and it was really great to get hands on with their whole range after reviewing a sample back in October last year.So, with that knowledge in mind, I can tell you with no uncertainty that this latest S/S range is damn fine. The hoodies were soft and the designs were sharp, and they’ve even started selling some rather nifty looking belts that have their logo stamped onto them. Click on through to see all the new goodies that they’ve got on offer.

Props to EIO for seeming like a great bunch of people, having spoken to them I can really understand the level of passion that they put into what they do, and I think that shows through in this latest collection.

Okay, at the time of writing this posting, there’s no mention of the new line on the Methods NYC site, but hopefully when this post goes live at 4AM GMT when I’m tucked up in bed dreaming about wonderful t-shirts and hoodies, it will all be on there for you to get your e-grubby, e-hands on. Hopefully. If not, the totally awesome image above has surely whetted your appetite to check the site out when the new line does become available. If you fancy another tease, here’s the spring catalogue in jpeg form, but be warned, its a massive image (about 12,000 pixels tall).

Divine Clothing Season Six collage

So guys, yes or no answer, is it creepy that I spent about 15 minutes making up that collage graphic that includes several pictures of a girl I’ve never met before (there are two pics of Bil in there too)? I’m used to posting pictures of models I’ve never met before, but there was something about making a collage that made me feel slightly stalker-ish.That’s neither here nor there, the important news is that Divine Clothing released their sixth season, which makes Bill somewhat of a veteran in this industry where new labels pop-up everyday. It’s generally a continuation of his earlier work, no major deviations from the style that he’s become known for. There are also a couple of new interpretations of older designs, such as this new take on ‘those who love are those who live’, which is pretty damned apt for today.

Tees cost $17, with the new hoody priced at $30, and I think they’re all printed on American Apparel stock.

It feels as if not a month goes by without me mentioning the good work that is being done at Naive Clothing, but after my Star-Wars-nerd blushes were spared by Josh last week over that Pete Wentz hoodie I figure I owe them one more post.

Something I like about Naive is that everything has a point, the products have a backstory, they have a manifesto/mission statement that they actually actually believe in, and they don’t want to get rich… and they’re literally putting their moeny where their mouth is on that one, by supporting six organisations with their Our Profit for their Profit programme.

There’s a lot of great stuff in their super-fresh Spring/Summer line, lots and lots of new tees, with some great designs in there. If I hadn’t banned myself from buying tees (one of my few addictions) then I’d have quite the shopping basket. But HYA is about the sleeves, so let’s get back on track.

There are 2 new sleeved products available (1 hoodie and 1 track jacket) in the Spring/Summer line, on the left is ‘Extension of Grasp‘ ($33), and has a great red/white contrast. The hoodie on the right, called ‘Outlet‘ ($30), may seem a bit familiar to fans of the O.C., but I guess that any hoodie with an electrical outlet on it will be compared to the Option-G take on the plug-socket, and I prefer Naive’s anyway.
