Shark Bite by MonsterHoodies

Before anyone says it, yes, this hoodie does look similar to the Ice Wizard hoodie from Seibei, but let’s just leave it at that.I’d been waiting to write about these hoodies for a while because they were announced about a month before you could actually order one, so I didn’t see the point in writing about them, but a few days ago they went on sale, so here they are. They are clearly a lot of fun, and a great idea, although I do think that the googly eyes need some improvement, I’m not sure what they could do, but they seem to let down the quality of the product to me and make it overtly monster costume-ish instead of it being a normal hoodie that happens to have teeth and eyes on it. Still, I love the idea, hell, I’m almost tempted to buy one just so to have it in my collection, and I’m not really used to paying for clothes anymore!

So, here’s another of those slightly awkward moments when I tell you how much I like one of the products of my advertisers. I like Black Sea, they’ve got great designs and they care about what they do, so why the devil shouldn’t I mention them every so often?

I really like the grittiness of this design, there just seems to be something immediately confrontational and slightly aggressive about the image of the teeth, especially with the strong contrasts of the washed out colours.
