I was looking at Dead & Alive’s store and for the life of me I couldn’t think what currency “SFr.” was, espeically since they’d advertised their sale as being $10 shirts and the tees were SFr. 10 as well. So I Googled it, of course, and quickly realised that it stand for Swiss Francs. I always forget that Switzerland isn’t in the euro-zone (though you can use Euros at Geneva airport), and I was under the impression that Swiss people usually referred to their currency as CHF? Not that any of this matters, their shirts are on sale for $10 and ‘all proceeds’ are going to charity to help Japan. I asked them how long the sale would be on for and the response was “until everything is sold out” which doesn’t really give a time indicator because I don’t know how popular these guys are, but if you see something you like just buy it instead of waiting.

![103 1 480x480 Now I Realize by Marthuba [Rumplo Rocks]](http://media.hideyourarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/103-1-480x480.jpg "103-1")
I can’t decide if this one is emo or not, I guess it depends on the way that you take it, for all we know it might have ‘donuts!’ written on the back… though judging by the rest of the
Marthuba site, I think it’s a safe bet that they’re on the more philosophical side of things.
Costiness= 59 Swiss Francs ($51, eek, didn’t realise until I ran it through a converter) Buy it at Marthuba [Rumplo Link]
A tip ‘o the hat to
notcot once again for finding the tee version of this
hoodie (though I have also seen it featured on
this excellent shirtspotting post), but I figured that since HYA is meant to be a sleeved clothing blog I’d mention the long sleeved version, even if you don’t often find yourself wearing them all that much during these sunny summer months.The tee version is pretty much the same, except the background colour is white and the pack of foxes (I think wolfsrudel means ‘wolf’ but they look more like foxes to me) remain a dark grey, but to me is makes more sense to have a dark base colour because then the print blends in a bit, which adds to the traditional sneakiness of the foxes, although I doubt many animals can maintain their sneakiness when they smell a kill. It’s nice to see Marthuba making use of the funnel collar as well. I guess that me posting an item from a Swiss company is a good way for me to prove that I’m not at all bitter about England not being in Euro 2008… not bitter at all…
Costiness=89 Swiss France (almost exactly US$89) Link
… and apparently the Swiss are also quite adept at designing cool clothes, if the selection available at plus41 is anything to go by.
We also may well have found someone that ties with me as hottest product model in the history of HYA. Yeah, your right, she ain’t got nuffin on me.
This hoodie (that doesn’t seem to have a traditional hood) is actually more clever than I orginally gave it credit, I thought it was just a selection of geometric blocks, kinda like tetris with angles. But upon closer inspection I can see a bear, a dog, a bird, and a Swiss cross, there’s probably a load more that I haven’t seen too. Oh, and the print begins (or ends) in one of the kangaroo pouches, super nice.
Costiness=€75, from here.
*Just noticed that the design is called Tangram Animals, guess the bear shouldn’t have been much of a surprise afterall.*
