Check out new and discounted odds and ends from the premium apparel designers of Hecklewood of Portland Oregon. These guys come highly recommended.
Orisue Spring Preview
Check out the Orisue spring preview over at High Snobiety if you are into high end large pattern prints and killer hoodies.
All Jelly No Toast
Out of Buffalo, NY they are rolling out discounted orders of Bean Dip and Poketo tees over at All Jelly No Toast. The shirts go for a handsome US$19.95 a piece, and keeping in mind that these are top quality products this is quite the catch.
They also have some of the beautiful Poketo wallets at a killer discount, and they do Bean Dip Hoodies as well.
Chanoir at DDWN
Dadawan has gone and stocked up with new designs from Chanoir. A lot of these are good digs, and there are tees, hoodies, vests and sweaters to be had. A lot of niceness to be had, tees starting at 34€.
Hands On: Bean Dip Clothing Design
I’ve always been a sucker for these natural fibers, and some of the 50/50 poly/cotton blended shirts out there feel as stale as a loaf of bread in mid February. This is not the case for the 50/50 shirts from AA, though. If anything these are way softer and far sleeker than their cotton counterpart.
The guys at Bean Dip Clothing Design now use these excellent shirts for all their designs, and they have been as kind as to send us three samples for review. The designs seem to still be printed with super low profile water based inks, and the detailing is marvelous. The shirt base bleeds through the inkage giving a great subtle look to the swag.
These guys really know how to place the designs on the garment. The blue “Propaganda” shirt is excellently rendered, and looks far better in life than in any image. I love the hugeness of the “Streets are Watchin’” tee even if I’m not on the roof about the text blending on the bottom. The halftone pattern detail of this design is amazing however. Be sure to check the detail images after the jump.
The gravy is that these are only US$25 a piece over at the Kazbah.

HECKLEHOLIDAY…
…is the code you should enter at checkout. That is right! Sam and the guys knock off a handsome 15% off your bill, when ordering from the Hecklewood web storefront. The offer is only good until tomorrow though!
Still Going Ape
Smallish newcomer label Go Ape Shirts are really getting settled. They have just rolled out three new shirts, and their website is looking rather sharp. I think the “Pillow Fight Club” bit is fun, but sorta goofy and the “Amsterdam by Night” shirt by MAKI Ontwerp en Illustratie is looking fresh. The pick of this litter though is by far Olly Moss’ “Evolver” design based on the superior Beatles album Revolver. This is one of these designs that only comes along once in a blue Amsterdam moon. The Beatles meets Planet of the Apes. GO APE!
Shirts are US$18 on AA.
Hands On: Me & Yu
We’re still getting some nice samples sent over from the independent teesign community. One of the latter picks is this sweet Bootsy-like pop-art printed translucent yellow on blue bit of goodness from Me & Yu.
To start with the basics, the base of this shirt is a good medium weight tubular jersey knit shirt in a bright blue shade. The printing is as I have already mentioned translucent with a repetitive design slightly sandwiched rendering it more saturated in the overlapping areas. The design is very pop art, but with a seventies soul/funk/disco twist. The shirt feels somewhat rocked nevertheless.
Men’s shirts run £25 a piece, while women need only hand out £18 to £20. They even sent me a copy of their nice photocopied fanzine, and every order ships with 6 free buttons and some candy. Be sure to have a look at heir hoodies, sweaters and other goods too. More pictures after the jump…

Stocked Limiteds at Hecklewood
Our good friends over at Hecklewood Apparel have stocked up their web store with a couple of fresh goodies. I am all over the limited edition reversible Teenage Flytrap bit which is designed by Sam Bland. There is also the issue of their Total Major White Trash print hitting the cotton in a big way. Head over to score yours…
