Quite a few people have are asking why we changed our blank shirts and are printing on the relatively thin American Apparel shirts now. Well, there are a few reasons for that:
- AA have by far the nicest colour palette out there,
- AA shirts have a decent length without being wide as hell,
- as AA shirts are quite light they make you sweat less in summer, esp. in the club/dancehall,
- AA shirts are made “sweatshop free”.
You can have a look at the BBC Thread (via Style Department) to get an impression about what the last point means in case you don´t know.
P. S. You better get that mad new Shadetek/Cauto EP now – and if it´s only for the
insanely effective ‘Girlfriend rmx’ (via Dutty Artz).

Heya. After the Afflicted Yard, we team up with another legendary Jamaican institution: Passa Passa. Yep – the infamous Wednesday-night session in front of Miles Enterprises hosted by Swatch International down in Tivoli Gardens, Kingston, Jamaica.
I can smell the Jerk Chicken, feel the bass and taste the Red Bull & Guiness just by looking at this shirt out of the official seen. vs. Passa Passa merchandise line. Now imagine what it is like to wear it. Get. Yours. Now.

Ever heard of a blog called “Street Clash“? Nope? That´s
“an international style competition between blogs & photographers around the world.”
As you can see above, currently Munich (GER) ranks Numero Uno. Wow. Who would have thought that? But there´s still some time left to vote and/or take part yourself.
A good chance to get your pic on the blog is to go to the Street Clash party in Berlin. In the course of the “Wedding Dress” event in Berlin which brings streetwear and urban fashion to one of the not so nice corners of Germany´s capital, the people who run “Street Style” – were invited and will party in “Store 11″ tomorrow.
For more information see the flyer after the jump.

Well, another John Eden rip-off post – but I gotta break the silence on this blog somehow …
On his Uncarved-blog, Eden today curses fashionistas – spellt F.e.r.g.i.e. – for making Dancehall-flyer tees unwearable. The not so bad shirt you see on the pic above, comes from a NYC-based downtowngoesuptownbrand called Clarendon which kinda seems to like Jamaican graphics. However,
they have loads of stuff on their site about which celebrities have worn their gear. And it’s not entirely clear whether or not they actually pay the original designers of the images for their work. (Uncarved)
I doubt that they actually pay any of the original designers – but in whose nose do those 55 bucks per piece end up then?
