Torso Clothing

Friday, January 29th, 2010

It’s brilliant when you wander randomly around the internet following links and come across something great, which is what happened with Torso Clothing. I landed in australia on my wander, on the site of Chris Halaska, a designer from Sydney who linked through to Torso clothing that he runs. There’s not loads of designs, but as we know it’s all about quality over quantity, and there’s quite a bit of quality here.

I really love the Skull design and there’s a few others on there that I have my eye on. All the shirts are printed on American Apparel and there seems to be a sale on with all shirts going for $21.99 and shipping to the uk comes in at $10. So $31.99 doesn’t seem cheap for a sale item but then again some of the designs are really tidy, print looks good and we all know the quality of American Apparel so i’m not really complaining. Check them out HERE

Inkie Print

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

I got an email through this morning from Inkie.co.uk. Normally with these types spec emails from companies, I just skim through and a lot leave my inbox before they have time to settle, but this new poster from inkie caught my eye and I love it. There’s some cool prints over at Inkie.co.uk but i think this one is my favourite.

I’m not crazy about the bottom of the print but the type style reminds me of my favourite classic Forny print that sits above my desk. At £75 the print would look good on any wall I reckon so check it out HERE

Hide Your Arms

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Andy from Hide Your Arms has been good to Lhome since I started so it’s really good to see him branching out into printing his own shirt. It looks like a really nice print too! What I really like is that, i’m sure it would’ve been easy and still sold if he had just printed Hideyourarms in a one colour font, but a really tidy little illustration and a 3 colour print shows a lot of care. My computer for some reason won’t load the store at the moment but i’m sure it’s just my crappy internet. The shirts come in at $21, which works out really good in the UK for a high quality print so go get yourself one at http://hideyourarms.storenvy.com/
