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

The link goes through to Urban Outfitters, so, y’know, sorry about that, since I assume most of you readers come to places like HYA to get away from Urban Outfitters, but I’m British dammit, and they haven’t invaded here yet (well, they’ve invaded a bit, but not much).I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, big rectangular prints are going to be a big deal this year, and I’ll keep posting them until everyone else believes me. I think the reason why I like this tee is because I’d like the image if I found it on Flickr or FFFFound, and washing out the colours and putting it on a tee doesn’t diminish its value as art, and I think this would look really great when you layer it up with pretty much anything, a blazer, a dress shirt, a zip-up hoodie or just on its own.Costiness=$19.99 Link

Run Away

Paul Frank HoodyNow, being British I’m lucky, I can post this item without needing to fear that I will ever be embroiled in any of the shady business practices that are associated with Urban Outfitters. According to the internet, they rip-off people’s designs, just ask Johnny Cupcakes

Anyway, let’s go beyond politics, I like this hoody from UO, the asymmetric lines give a little something different, and the runners say “hey, I’m a go getter.” Well, maybe they would if this was a personal development blog, but here they just say “hey, nice design.”

Costiness=$44.99 and they only ship to the U.S., Ca-na-da and Me-hico, so I won’t be able to enter that Seth Cohen lookalike competition, after-all. Seriously, what’s the deal with their range and models, research for their design team must be an O.C. box set and (polaroid) photo’s from a Death Cab for Cutie show.
