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

Secret Handshake (SH) get a lot of love from people, like I first put up their little advertising box someone actually e-mailed me to say how good they thought SH was. So I was pretty excited to get a package from them yesterday morning. I was the happy recipient of the Sun-Ra shirt by Tim Kerr. I must admit that I did have to make a trip to Wikipedia to find out just who this Sun Ra dude was, so if I don’t quite ‘get’ it, my excuse is that I was 9 when this guy died (or ‘left the earth’s plane’, as one Wikipedian thought Sun Ra might describe it as), and wasn’t listening to much jazz at that time.

The Cotton Filter - 310506

I started writing this a week ago, so some of it may well be old news:

Cat and Girl: He’s managed to take something quite surreal and turn it into something really sweet and cute, the facial expression of the bike-receiving-fish (yeah, now you’re gonna click that link!) is simply perfection.

Divine Clothing: Bill has done his final printing of the second season of shirts, so this is your last chance to pick up one up, I particularly like “those who live are those who love“, all tees $16.

Crowded Teeth
: The sale started last week, but it deserves a mention because I’m sure you don’t spend all day looking at tee blogs, Michelle’s tee are down to $15 from $24, and the hoodies (including the one I recommended a while back) are down to $25 from $40.

Secret Handshake: Some cool tees here, via C12

No Star Clothing: Their new site is up, it’s just as clean and smooth as it used to be, and there’s a few cool new additions to the line up, expect me to be recommending this hoodie soon, and making tenuous claims that the birds are ‘blue tits’ just so I can make some weak jokes.
