Headlining this week’s peek into the freshest threads is Alphanumeric’s Fall and Holiday 2008 line, featuring a mass of new t-shirts, sweaters and hoodies ideal for approaching winter season. Subtle cues mark the theme here, as nothing is extroverted, loud, or obnoxious (we know you too well, all-over print!). Their “Charlie” t-shirt echoes the theme made famous by the Jabbawockeez print tee, stacked sections of three letters. Also new from A# is the “Gassed” tee, giving you the chance to show the world that digging in between your sofa for loose change for gas won’t cut it any longer.

For those in the LA area this week, Crooks & Castles will be throwing a party at the Vanguard Night Club in Hollywood this Thursday October 9th. Guest Host Memphis Bleek and Dj Alchemist highlight the guest appearances of the “Real Recognize Real” event. Details are scarce, as it is well known that C&C is moving beyond just producing clothing, but hope to become a lifestyle brand.

Lastly, Threadless of Boston pulls through as their weekly newsletter brings about the quirkiest tees available. “Microwaves are too slow” proves that even Superman can be an impatient man. In what appears to be his version of intergalactic chicken dinner, the microwave meal is no test for the hunger of the world’s greatest superhero.
