Incredible. Imaginary Foundation.
One of the best labels at the moment in the streetwerar sector: Imaginary Foundation. The prints have to come from the very depth of creative minds. You get it here.
Angry Sale
I just salvaged an email out of my spam bin this morning stating that Angry Retail are having a massive clear-out. Tees are 5€ a pop, and other items are also ridiculously inexpensive. I went ahead and punched through an order at once. I’ve shopped at Angry before, and they are some of the most accommodating guys out there, so there is no need to hesitate.
Artist-Shirts from 2K
Founded 1998 in Japan, 2K, a small company whose name was bestowed by Experimental Jetset, is totally anti-mass marketing. 2K is for people who are bored with the market and merchandise that has been controlled by mega mass-marketing brands. “We have become determined to introduce the best and most unique artworks and artists to the global youth culture network through t-shirts that we recognize as one of the most informative mediums. Instead of spreading the name 2K, we attempt to gain recognition by the people through our vision of presenting artistic uniquities by artists we have met and become fond of”.
The artists of theses Tees are: swedish Street Artist Carl Nyman, Design Studio Buro Destruct, London Design- and Illustration Service Nice, Tomoo Gokita from Tokyo and Alex Rich. You can get them online in DE, AT and CH at Clear-Cut-Case.de.
Tank Theory
Some nice and crazy stuff from Tank Theory. The art director, Zach Johnsen, says: “Our aesthetic is a bit on the brutal side. Everything we produce is slightly demented, unnerving, or outright scary.” In Germany, Austria and Switzerland available online at Clear Cut Case.
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…

They guys over at Digital Gravel have just stocked up a new lot of tees and other nice stuff from Obey. The tee series is called Obey Antiques, and is cut a bit smaller and sewn from softer ringspun cotton. Tees are about $26 a piece.
News at Shmack Clothing
This fresh label named Shmack Clothing have just released some new pieces to their thug life line of clothing. These tees are truely striking, and I am in love with their amazing pattern designs. Pay attention to the sweet colour themes, too. The GI Joeish “Duke Tshirt” in blue+yellow is so sharp.

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.
