Play Cloths Spring 2009 Collection
In just a few days Play Cloths will be releasing their Spring 2009 collection.
This 2nd full season looks promising as they got more of a complete line out and not just the staple branded tee, hoody, fitted combos. I’m really liking the button ups, 5 panel hat, and can’t wait to see what the cardigan will look like. They surprisingly went with relatively neutral color tones which is cool to see that they aren’t just going to follow the Ice Cream look.
From the dudes at Play Cloths:
“In the fashion industry as in the music industry, most fledgling brands approach their second season trying to avoid the dreaded sophomore jinx. Not one to rest on the laurels of the previous season’s success, Play Cloths enters the fray of the Spring with a smart collection of graphic tees, wovens and outerwear that further embody the “all work, all play” aesthetic.
In total defiance of superstition, Play Cloths chooses the most ominous and foreboding of dates, Friday the 13th to release the collection along with more surprises that we have in store on the site.”
Check out the Play Cloths blog for more info on the brand and be sure to see the entire collection on the Play Cloths site.

Play Cloths Launch @ Commonwealth, Nov 14th
The long delayed and highly anticipated release of The Clipse official clothing line is finally here. Play Cloths will be launching this cmming Friday, the 14th at Commonwealth in VA.
Here’s a quick look at some of what’s to come…
Even though many people are already doubting the brand, I’m a big fan of the simple logo and identity. Can’t wait to see what’s in store.
Just from the looks of the packaging it looks like they are serious about the brand and making a statement. Even if there are only a few designs to begin with which are logo heavy, I’ll just consider it BBC season 0 which was essentially the same thing and look at them now.
They’ll be starting with tees, fitteds, crew necks, denim, varsity jacket, and word is that there will be more.
So if you are out in VA or nearby I highly suggest you check out the release party, should be tons of good music, live performances, good people, and plus you get to check out the new line. Wish I could be there.

Clipse Present Re-Up Gang – Fast Life Video
I’m still mad at the boys for releasing this OD radio friendly single. I mean…you’d think its probably because the last album didn’t sell shit and they need to pay the bills – but what the hell? I thought you guys sell coke all day anyway?
I found it through Complex.
