More Geek Chic at 604Republic

Posted: 18 Jan 2011 11:11 AM PST

604Republic seem to be running on all pistons right now, they’re knocking out more and more high quality design and are starting to gain some serious clout in the market. Here are their latest tee releases, the first features a gamer’s closet, as opposed to the more usual closet gamer, and the second features none other than those little blue imps that doubled an oil company’s profits whilst subconsciously inferring that only female character Smurfette  …is a tramp. Yes you guessed it, those vile blue cretins The Smurfs. I used to collect them as a kid, I think I ended up executing them all very slowly with a large magnifying glass on a particularly hot Summer’s day. Ahh for the memories.

Love it, anything to get my mind off the likelihood that the old skank Smurfette must have been servicing the whole village for over 30 years by now. I’m a big fan of all things zombie related, if you haven’t seen the latest contribution to the genre, check out The Horde (it’s in French – but it’s worth straining with subtitles for pure cinematic zombie mayhem). Anyway back to the t-shirt, it’s awesome, dead Smurfs on toast for me please. Get this tee for $19.95 in sizes S-XL.

Japanese Laundry

Posted: 18 Jan 2011 04:32 AM PST

Japanese Laundry are a brand new label from the UK with a passion for all things (you guessed it) Japanese. It all started with a love for Japanese Selvedge Raw denim jeans, for 12 years they’ve been working on producing their own, and now they’re planning to release a whole host of Japanese influenced items including tees, polos, sweats and shirts. JL will be opening their doors or rather booting up the online store at the end of this month,  they aim to offer up their first batch of t-shirts at £29.99 each in sizes S,M,L,XL which will be available for pre-order and available from April online and in stores across the UK.

I’ve persuaded Ross at Japanese Laundry to upload photos at Flickr, so this will probably be your first sneak peek at their shirts including their Harajuku Showgirls Tee. Unless of course you’ve read the technical review of their merchandise at DapperDude.co.uk. In the meantime feast your eyes on these which will all be available in a variety of difference colours…
