Where is Hide Your Arms Hidden?
This is just a notice to tell you that our favorite sleeved apparel site Hide Your Arms has been down for quite a while now due to hosting/ server issues. I’ve been in touch with Andy who promises me that HYA will be up as soon as possible, and that he is not about to give it up or anything.
More info on this page at HYA’s MySpace. Good luck, Andy!
!UPDATE: Hide your arms is now back in business. YAY!
Hands on: Hecklewood Heckled Hoodie
I recieved an awsome sleeveless hoodie in the mail yesterday, all the way from Portand, Oregon and our good friends over at Hecklewood Apparel.
These pictures are actually from the Hecklewood website, as I haven’t got around to shoot any myself yet. They give a pretty good impression of the product at hand though.
It is a soft grey heather hoodie with an awsome large colorful skateboard print on it. They guys at Hecklewood have gone and cut the sleeves off it, which is just awsome. The print crosses the zipper, which is a quality I really like in zippered hoodies these days. It is very eighties, which puts it at the height of fashion, and large and shiny aviator sunglasses are must with it.
It is available for both genders, and you can find it in the Hecklewood Boutique in Portland Oregon, or online at the Hecklewood Apparel web store via PayPal.
Summer Sale: Crowded Teeth
Don’t miss out on this chance to get some awsome threads on the cheap as Crowded Teeth are having a summer sale to work up funds for their upcoming fall/winter collection.
A good portion of their designs are now cut by 38%, retailing at a mere $15 a tee. The shirt base is American Apparel, and there are pieces out there for both guys and girls. Among my personal favorites are the various pattern prints. I actually ordered the Teru Teru Bozu hoodie even though it is only available in women’s large, hoping it will pass as a guy’s small. I hope it works out.
FreshJive
Totally hot Freshjive designs have just been tossed in the spring/summer salad of ‘06. Just have a look a the imagery abobe. Be sure to check out their awsome brass knuckles all-over print, too. It is only available in sz large, but it really rocks.
The tees start at $20, and they also have lots of other sweet stuff going on. Be sure to eyeball those hoodies guys and gals. They kill.
News for the Ladies at Brooklyn Ind.
Brooklyn Industries recently rolled out some fresh new wear for the urban rockin’ indie girls. The tees seem very nicely fitted, and come off more like tops in the images.
These start at about $20, and you get a $5 discount if you join their newsletter. They also have some nice stuff for the guys, so don’t be discouraged. Check out their one-off hoodies.
Hands on: Disturbia
The nice folks over at Disturbia Clothing in the UK decided to hook me up with some of their cotton after the recent write-up about them. I even got to take my pick, and after much indecision I setteled for their awsome New Wave design printed on an inside out premium American Apparel shirt, which turned out to be quite the good idea. These shirts hold great quality, and I love the large size of my print. It went really well in cascades of my brand new possibly fake, ytterly ridiculous BAPE hoodie, which also arrived this tuseday afternoon. I took a snapshot in the mirror of them both.
Bood Brothers: Tunes and Tees
This must be the most generous collection of exceptional band merch I have come accross. Really. Is this a band or a t-shirt business?
Out of the Seattle punk scene of the late ninties The Blood Brothers actually make rather nice and loud music, too, that is in the neighbourhood of hardcore punk/ emo which sounds a bit like The Makers, The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Guzzard and Today Is The Day, but with a hint of black metal even.
Ok then. Before I get lost in the layman music review, let us get back to the tees. They are really well designed colourful pieces of art showing good variety. The scoop is that they are a mere $15 to purchase, too, and there are even hoodies and stuff out there. There is no word on the make of shirt though, so someone just has to try it out and post back here with results I guess.
Hands on Bean Dip
A big thanks for the guys over at Bean Dip Clothing For hooking us up with these:
The good people of Bean Dip Clothing have sendt us some sweet samples of their handmade print-per-order tees. The guys tee is a heavyweight Gildan- sporting a halftoned image of the late Biggie and 2pac, while the girlie is a boom box themed supersoft Royal Apparel custom sliced piece. The printing is done in the superior mannor of water based ink, which renders a soft print that blends with the fabrique rather than lay on top, like the plastisol ink does.
Be sure to head over and check out the Bean Dip site. As everything is done to order, you can chose the colour you want, too you know. Shirts are $18 a piece for blokes and $21 for birds. They sport some killer hoodies, too.
