I hate mondays,especially in England,freezing cold rainy weather,bumper to bumper traffic,miserable people flooding the streets like manic depressive ants. It’s probably the same wherever you go but,I like to feel special.
My boys Size? are celebrating their 10th birthday and are releasing a new line of exclusive and limited designs. One particular design I like is the Manor jacket,which is a new play on the classic hunting jacket. It comes with a gun shoulder patch,quilted collar,woven trim and to finish it off the new size logo printed on a leather patch.
You can bag this for a modest £44.99 from Size.co.uk.

I’m a fan of the occult. Yeah,I get my kicks from slaughtering goats and f*cking chicks in graveyards but,whos to say I can’t look sick as f*ck while I’m doing all this?
Built For Sin is a clothing company created by S-J Whiteley the ex-girlfriend of emo douchebag Oliver Sykes,the creator of Drop Dead. (Nothing like going into direct competition with your ex,right?)
They have just recently released a batch of new items featuring some sick hoodies and t-shirts. They feature some badass designs and at a more modest price than their rivals Drop Dead,who would have you sell one of your kidneys for a t-shirt.
I’ve decided to feature the Unisex Varsity jacket which comes in two colourways,pink and black. I’m assuming it’s an American Apparel varsity jacket with BFS’ designs printed on it.
It’s only £55,which is alright.
Check out the jacket and the rest of their range at www.builtforsin1.co.uk

Yes,Yes people of Ahoodie. I’ve just returned from landan tawn with a lighter wallet,a killer headache and I swear I caught aids from sniffing coke in the underground memories that will last a lifetime.
I posted about this brand quite some time ago. So refresh yourself with them if you can’t remember. Anyways,they’ve brought out a brand new collection for this season and most of it is the shiiiiiit.
Check this out,it’s their latest vintage hoodie. It’s made from the finest of materials,I’ve tried it on and it makes you feel like you’re wearing an endangered species. It also comes in two colourways which are navy blue and grey. It’s weighs in at a mear £69.99 (around $109).
Go buy it from Size and don’t forget to check the rest of the Lyle and Scott range.

Check out the video,it’s just a typical Sunday evening in England. All they wanted was some fish and chips.
Bape just released a specially themed capsule with their 2010 spring/summer collection with a British “Mods” theme. If you don’t know who or what mods are I’ll school you. Mods were a subculture that orginated in London in the late 1950s and was at its peak in the mid 60s they were all about dressing sharp,riding scooters,listening to Jamiacan ska music and getting into lots of fights(which is generally a british thing anyway).
The collection features a fishtail parka jacket and lots of anglo-centric jackets on crewnecks and t-shirts. The collection is finished off with a few patches and hats. It’s available now at Bape stores worldwide.

Theres nothing more awkward than wearing a jacket that says “drop dead” in a hospital. If you guys can think of somthing more awkward then stick your answers on a postcard and mail it straight to someone who gives a f*ck.
Mega emo douche Oliver Sykes and his clothing label Drop Dead has realised how much money they can make from the whole varsity jacket hype and have brought us not one but three different varsities (Ahoodie posted about the robot one some time ago).
The one i’ve decided to feature is entitled the “kitty brainz” varsity jacket,ingenious as it features their signature kitty with its brains hanging out on the back. I may seem like i’m just bashing this jacket but if you’d wait I was just about to comment on the colours. Which are nice…
So yeah head on over to Drop Dead if you feel like wearing something different,you can pick this particular jacket up for £60.

Does anyone remember Felix the cat? No? Oh okay then.
In late 2009,Trainerspotter released a new collection with refrences from art,comics and film. This particular varsity features Felix the cat, a old comic/cartoon charecter who first appeared in 1919 he wasn’t as popular as Mickey Mouse but still grabbed a sort of cult following.
The varsity features a full melton wool body with bovine cattle leather sleeves and custom made flocked Trainerspotter logo’s on the front and back plus a super soft black quilted satin lining with an inside pocket. This jacket is extremely limited edition and there are only a few left.
You can still buy whats left from Size at £249.99. Be sure to check out the rest of Trainerspotter’s stuff aswell.

Just woke up to the sound of someone trying to break into my garden to steal my motorbike. But,I thought I’d leave them to it and post on here instead.
Plenty of brands seem to be scrambling aboard the Varhoody band wagon and it was only a matter of time until Size (who I wrote about in a previous post,which seems like a lifetime ago) took their original varsity jacket, shoved a hood on it and claim to have created something fresh for 2010.
However, I like size an awful lot. I just can’t help feeling cheap buying some of their self branded clothing items. If I wasn’t such a snob I’d probably be covered head to toe in the stuff (he says wearing one of their shirts).
The Superbowl hoody is a new take on their old varsity design. It comes in slightly different colours than their varsity jackets but they haven’t strayed too far from the previous designs. They’re pretty cheap at £54.99,so if you’re not quite ready to dive into the world of varhoodies and wanna try it out then Size is your crack dealer.

Praise the lord! I just got paid. So,naturally off I go to hook myself up with hookers and coke some new clothes.
One of the first things that caught my eye was the LRG shadow play jacket,posted by Danny. A little too pricey for me so,I decided to check out what else LRG had to offer and this genuinely sick purple zip-up stood out.
It comes in an all over pattern and the regular LRG trimmings. It’s so nice,it’s a shame the model looks like he’s been hitting the Krispy Kremes a little too hard. I’m not putting plus sized models down,just don’t do your talent scouting at Mcdonalds.
The LRG Red Rock Purple Zip up $92 from Karmaloop.

Mishka have just jumped their way to being one my favourite clothing labels and that’s a list thats harder to get on than a nuns f*ckbuddy list.
It seems that for some time the infamous clothing label Mishka have been dipping their toes into the music scene and have been collaborating with some of the biggest dj’s from all over the world and have been giving some rather dope mixes out to all of us for absolutely free.
Some of the djs that Mishka have worked with so far are some of the best UK djs such as Skream,Plastician,Rusko,Jack Beats and many more. They’ve also worked with some other big names such as Major Lazer and most recently the Crookers.
You can download all these mixes for absolutely nothing from their blog here.
It’s free so you’ve got nothing to lose by listening to them and who knows you could find some new shit you really like,trust uncle Chacha.

Your not truelly famous until some kid is playing with you. Michael Jackson did it and everyone all over the world knows his name. Every superstar inevitably has an action figure modelled after themselves and it’s our man Wasalu Jaco’s (known to most of us as Lupe Fiasco) turn.
The action figure is remarkabley life like and comes wearing a Japanese Cartoon hoodie. For y’all who don’t know who or what Japanese Cartoon is,i’ll fill you in. Japanese Cartoon are a band which include the likes of Wasalu Jaco,Le Messie and Graham Burris. I’m not a huge fan of the band,what am I saying? I don’t like them. Ain’t my thang.
There isn’t a great deal of info on the action figures as of yet but you can keep your eyes peeled on the bands myspace .
