This Star Wars inspired tee (or hoodie, both are available) is wonderful and charming to me - I certainly fell in love with the transport “walkers” and their oversized mechanical splendor when I saw the movie. The idea of one of these mechanical beasties having some sort of visit to the mechanic and being stuck in the dreaded (by pets, at least) head cone tickles my fancy. There will be no reaching around to lick the incision for this AT-AT, and it’s chances of running into things and falling are greatly increased. The graphic is bright and eye catching with a red walker and bright blue cone printed on an asphalt colored American Apparel tee. Designed by artist Dave Horowitz, and available for guys and girls.

I just can’t seem to get enough skeleton printed clothing - I blame Danzig and my repeated early exposure to the original Misfits and their bone heavy mystique. While this blonde boy model is not selling the coolness, I am loving the full rib cage and full length arms done in silver foil skeleton print. Lightweight and made of 100% cotton, they’ve added some texture with all over grey dots. The dots give the skeletal graphics a sort of ASCII generated feeling, which I like. The print is only on the front side of this pull-over sweatshirt, but I would still rock it. Available in sizes XS to XXL, this is a nice unisex piece.

The indie designers of Sugarcrane bring you this beautifully detailed stylish flying crane belt buckle and Italian leather belt. Inspired by Korean motifs and history, the unusual name Hwarang refers to a class of ancient elite warriors from the Shilla Dynasty. Antique silver colored, the buckle features a crane in flight with a flower in it’s beak and surrounded by flowing designs, while underneath there are Korean characters which spell out Sugarcrane. Aside from the aesthetic beauty of the image, many will be attracted to the symbolic attributes of the crane - longevity, considered a bird of omen, messengers of wisdom, and an all around auspicious creature. The belt is made of black Italian leather which has been lightly hand-sanded to create a distressed look and feel, and there is a small Sugarcrane logo on the end. Can’t get too much indie style crane!
