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


Its amazing that a t-shirt with a ransom message on it like this…

BRING TEN THOUSAND POUND IN CASH TO VAUXHALL BRIDGE ON THE TWENTY SEVENTH OF JULY AT THREE PM OR YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR SON AGAIN.

… could have been designed by Gideon Conn, a man described on Yes No Maybe’s site as “a lovely chap.” I really like this design, I imagine that its one of those tees that you actually get quite uncomfortable wearing because everyone is always staring at your chest reading it, unless you’re this guys, of course.

What, what, tally ho and all that, because this is the third British post in a row, you practically need a cup of tea in your hand just to read the blog today!

Famed doodler Jon Burgerman has put his own spin on Yes No Maybe’s name and produced this rather spiffy looking tee. One of the things that I like about Yes No Maybe is that whilst they do put their name in most of their products, they never do it in a way that screams “this is a logo tee, everyone go and buy YNM clothes,” its more like they’re using they tell artists to create a design that is inspired by the name, not about the name, which I guess means that they’ve got a lot of great opportunities for playing with typography. Another interesting thing about this design is that it marks the beginning of YNMs summer colour range, they’re going to be using the traffic light colourway of red, orange, and green over the next few months in a lot of their summer releases, possibly in reference to the ridiculous amounts of traffic that clog up the arteries of Britain’s road network as soon as the sun pops out from behind the clouds for five minutes.

Thinking Hurts by Yes No Maybe

Yes No Maybe have got a load of new designs out for your purchasing pleasure, and this clever hoodie is part of the new collection. Printing on the hood is always a bit fun and this is a great example of it. Usually the print on the hood is just a bit of an afterthought, a welcome afterthought, but never that integral to the design, but in this case YNM have turned it into the focal point of the hoodie, which is a cool change of pace, although I guess it does mean that you’re going to need to have your hood up more often then you usually would for people to ‘get’ it.
