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


That isn’t a typo in the title there, Urban Retro have indeed added two hundred new designs to their store, from brands like Beautiful/Decay, Terratag, Junk Food, Wrongwroks, Seventyseven, and Supremebeing. Urban Retro are really turning into one of my favourite stores in the UK, and not just because they’re pretty liberal with their coupon codes. If you want to get 10% off your order just enter the coupon code SUMMER2008 at the checkout to be eligible for the discount. The coupon code is valid until the end of July.

The more I learn about Wrongwroks the more I find that he’s actually “kind of a big deal” in Asia. At a recent toy festival in Taiwan people were queuing up two and a half hours early to be in line for a signing he was doing, and they were waiting in the rain!


They were waiting in the rain because they wanted to be among the first to get their hands on Wrongwroks latest release, a book chronicling all the releases so far, as well as showing off a few previously unseen snaps from photoshoots. The book can be purchased on its own or as part of a box set in which you will get a limited edition silkscreened box and a “Supreme Ripped Off” t-shirt. There’s only 300 of these sets available worldwide, so I guess they’ll go pretty fast judging from Wrongwroks popularity.

I don’t think that Wrongwroks ever take a day off (despite facts!), they/he put out designs at a rate far beyond what you’d expect of a brand their size. You can expect more pop culture mashup madness if you click through for a couple more pics from the collection.Wrongwroks

Even more new tees from Wrongwroks

Okay, I think this should be the last in what feels like a flurry or Wrongwroks posts for a while now (they can’t have more up their sleeves, can they?). All three tees are currently available in Wrongwroks ‘Stuff‘ section.

I really like it when people send me things that aren’t tees. Let’s be clear, I love it when people send me tees and really appreciate people taking the time to package stuff up for me, but being sent stuff that isn’t tees or hoodies is a real novelty for me. Wrongwroks, who I think its fair to say I’m a fan of, sent over a couple of hats and a couple of sticker sets to HYA central, and after a hard day digging up a cobbled road (no, really) I sat in the garden and took some pictures of the goods. I’m no expert on hats (though I am rather partial to them), so I’m just going to let the pictures do the talking. So if you want to find out what’s in that box (and see me rocking some seriously hot modeling looks) then click on through… unless you’re reading the RSS feed, in which case you’ve just got to scroll down (possibly, it’s feed reader dependent apparently).

Red Heart Dorabob by Wrongwroks

She’s no uggo, but she’s no Nat either!

To go along with the last few releases from Wrongwroks that I’ve blogged about, here is the third design to go in the first part of their summer collection. It features their dorabob character reimagined as a heart, so I guess this tee is Spongebob x Doraemon x a heart. I guess that they’re sticking with Zoe as the model for the time being, I wonder if Nat will ever be coming back?All the new tees and new hats are available in their store.

Tiffany Godoy wears a new summer tee by Wrongwroks

It turns out that I’m not the paradigm of coolness that you all believed me to be, as I didn’t recognise the name of Tiffany Godoy when I first heard it, but then when I read that she was the one who wrote Style Deficit Disorder things started to become a bit clearer for me, and I felt cool again.This new tee is classic Wrongwroks in terms of ideology, but a bit of a departure from the norm in terms of style. Would I be right in thinking that in this design Marge is being grabbed by the white glove of Krusty the clown? He wears white gloves, right? Or maybe Wrongworks are returning to one of their older themes and the glove actually belongs to Mickey Mouse? Who knows? Clearly I don’t.Wrongwroks

New hats from Wrongwroks

My love of all things Wrongwroks means that I’ll even push the boundaries to include hats. I know nothing about hats, so I’m not going to attempt to leave any commentary on them, except that I think the WcDonald logo suits a hat really well.

Wrongwroks: Summer 08 Preview

Zoe models the new Summer Range @ wrongwroks

I think I managed to go without blogging Wrongwroks for a few weeks, what a terrible situation!

Zoe models the new Summer Range @ wrongwroks

The reason for the lack in WR pop culture mashup designs is that their summer releases have been delayed, but I thought I’d give you a bit of a tease in the form of these pics from the WR blog. I’m afraid there’s no NAT in this update, but to be fair to her, new model Zoe isn’t exactly an uggo.

Wrongwroks are keeping up their impressive release schedule with this all-black, seamless, waterproof windbreaker that features their WcDonald logo. It looks pretty cool, and I think that its important to have a windbreaker in your clothing arsenal for those times when you look out the window and see a few clouds and know that if you go out without a coat it’ll rain, but you can’t be bothered carrying around a big heavy coat.
