Cheap Monday: Clothed by Devil
I went over to my local rock and roll clothing and accessory store today to pick up a pair of new high tops, and instead of the usual Chuck Taylor’s I ended up choosing a pair from a Sweedish brand called Cheap Monday. The kicks were swell. And cheap, too, so I thought I’d have a look at what else this label had to offer…
As you probably guessed. These guys offer up tees and tanks as well. It is not that easy to get a clear view from their website, but keep your eyes peeled for these. Cheap Monday is said to have a sorta devilish agenda, and my new soles have the number of the beast printed inside, too. Their goal is said to be serving cool rock and roll clothing at prices the rockers can afford. Gotta love that.
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.
Slow Shirts
One genre of design I am down with is the naive crooked lo-fi sort. Slow Shirts (or Slow Loris Shirts?) seem to be down with this, too, so now I am down with them. Their intricate pencil-like designs are very nice indeed. They print at a maximum of one hundred of each piece, and they do it on AA’s. Shirts are $22 and shipping is $4 to the US, $5 to Canada and $8 for the rest of us.
Big Sale at Krudmart
Addic[tee]d writes that Krudmart are having a great big blow out, and a large section is now 30%-70% off. There is a lot of good stuff out there by the likes of Fuct, Tank Theory, Brown Sound and Commonwealth Stacks amongst others and the prices are nice.
New Stuff at Dadawan Again
Be sure to go on over and check out the newest editions at the Dadawan store. I really love the new X-ed stuff by Easteric, and there is other good stuff there, too.
As Seen at Seen
Inspired by Dancehall and Reggae music, out of Bavaria, Germany: Seen deliver solid designed tees. I love the way they seem to add detailing for that extra niceness. They limit the amounts to a maximum of 45 pcs per design and they sell for 22€ a piece. There are a handful of designs to choose from for both girls and boys.
Fjord of America
As a resident of Norway the name of this outfit is sorta familiar. Based in Brooklyn NYC the oddly named t-shirt design company Fjord have made a large collection of really nice designs. I especially love the Party People design, but there are lots and lots of other good stuff there too. You may purchase these fine items via the internet at Elsewares and Stars + Infinite Darkness or selected retailers, both girls and boys.
Secret Laundry Game
These shirts are more than cotton human covers. Edocs Dirty Laundry has secret messages woven into the material. These messages make sense when you log onto their website and enter the codes, and it all comes together. More about the game at We-Make-Money-Not-Art, and the tees are available at Edoc.
The shrits, by the way are nice graphic prints. A good collection for both genders in a vide variety of colours and shapes. Tops, tanks, polos and some good lookin’ accessories. Release date is set to March 1st. No price listed.
Recon
For good clean simple urban wear you could allways have a look at the stock they carry over at Recon. Some of their stuff is really nice, and the tees are only $25 a shirt. They also stock a variety of other items like longsleeves, hats, polos and bags, and if you are at any of these locations they have stores in NYC, San Francisco and Tokyo, but you can allways get the stuff online, too.
Teespotting
Somtimes while looking around for tees, I come accross items of which I have very little information if any. The shirts above are an example of this. I found them on this Thai site called Weeze, and all I could
find out was that they seem to sell for 250 baht a piece (which is about $7), and I myself think they look pretty nice. I really love ringered tees, and I am fond og the vintage tropicana theme. If you are decipher the language, you’re probably in for a treat. They look to be girly sizes, fittings and color.
I also came accross this lemur print on Flickr recently. Flickr usr idoru45 (kitfisto)’s is selling these tees for £15 + S&H if you want one.
The stuff they seem to be cooking up over at electricollant.tk is really nice handmade down and dirty cassette tape deck stuff. Not really much info here either though.
