Kiks Tyo’s Autumn Range

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:00:00 -0700

It’s not too often that I come out and say I don’t like a tee (usually because I only write about things I like), but I feel I’ve done that more than once with Kiks Tyo, and usually with fair reason in my opinion, but I really like a lot of the long-sleeve options that they’re offering with the Fall/Autumn collection.

Vintage Vantage get fresh, kinda modern

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Y’know, you leave a company alone for a few months and the next time you check in they’ve gone and had a facelift, its like when you see a girl you know from high school that has become almost inexplicably hot (not that Vintage Vantage was an uggo to start with). They’ve also got a load of new tees for you to enjoy (only a few of which are in the above gallery), some of which don’t seem all that vintage in their style, although perhaps ‘vintage’ style has pervaded society so completely that their designs are vintage, and I just can’t tell anymore.

Akumu Ink: Still managing to be dark and cute at the same time

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:00:00 -0700

To me, the character design on Tokyo Massacre is pretty cute, yes, she’s holding a chainsaw, but at the same time, its a pretty cute style. Maybe I’m starting to get a bit dark if I think that anyone wielding a chainsaw can be cute, please shout at me if the blog starts getting too gothy (”dudes, this glow in the glow in the dark tee would go great with my pentagram necklace, ring, and belt buckle!”). The second design that Akumu Ink released this month looks like someone decided to put a chess board on your chest with a razor blade, and even gothy old Andy thinks that this may well be a little dark, but I do quite like it. The tee is called Shukketsu, any chance a Japanese speaker in the audience could enlighten us? Oh, and they promise they’ll have hoodies on sale next month, huzzah! Akumu Ink

Four new tees to Enclothe yourself with

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Enclothe released four new designs (well, three new and one reworking of a classic) a couple of days ago, one of which, the green one, Digfoot, was created by Sven Pamlowski, known to many as a.mar.illo. All four tees are pretty cool, not following any specific kind of theme or style, which is something I like about Enclothe, they print what they like, not what they think will sell well… although chances are these will sell well anyway!
