News at Owl Movement
Hoot, hoot! The owl moves again!
One of my favorite outfits Owl Movement have just rolled out four new tees and some printed pillows. Three of the tees even have owl illustrations printed on them. Everything at Owl movement is beautifully screened onto American Apparel stock for your wearing pleasure. They retail through a Merchline storefront for US$20 a piece.
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.

Young Lovers
Seldom if ever have I seen such an annoying background for a website as the one over at Young Lovers. In spite of this they make some serious t-shirt designs. They have reached a perfect blend of the hand drawn and top of the line illustration in large print over combed ringspun slim-fit cotton tees.
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!
Concrete Hermit Updates
The new bits up in the Concrete Hermit’s place are not to be ignored. Weighing in at £20 a tee, and printed to American Apparel stock these should make for a nice torso cover. They are bound to make you look knife-sharp. The b/wh CH pattern tee is just amazing, and they are doing Burgerman dammit!
New Shirts at Teetonic
The British submission based outfit Teetonic have been rolling out some nice updates to their set lately. Their line has acquired an unique feel, even if they do designs from various participants, which is a really nice deal. All tees are £20, and are promised to be of top quality, made from ringspun and combed strands of cotton, and with just a touch of the stretchy stuff for the ladies.
Beautiful/Decay Tees
Feast your eyeballs on these new all-over print collabs between Beautful/Decay Magazine and various designers. These desirable tees can be yours for US$29.95 a piece sans shipping.
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…
New Store at Naive Clothing
The guys of Naive Clothing have put up a brand new store section on their site. There are some nice picks there, and I could really go for the Argyle print myself. It is most definitely one of the better ones out there these days. Another good thing about this label is their pricing which lingers at about 16 bucks US, and keeping in mind that they print on AA this is really good.
