Camilla d'Errico - Handbags

Gama-Go Deathbot Hoodie by Joe Ledbetter

Gama-Go just dropped Joe Ledbetter's limited-edition Deathbot Hoodie in their online store.  Limited to 360 individually numbered pieces, this new hoodie has 100% embroidered deco from the mug toting dbot on the front to the huge coat of arms design on the back to the JLED sig on the lower right rear.  For a little flair the inner hood lining has a blue cosmic design.  Nice.  Get it now for $98.

Sneak: Gama-Go’s Deathbot Hoodie by Joe Ledbetter

Here’s a quick home-grown sneak of Gama-Go’s upcoming Deathbot Hoodie by Joe Ledbetter.  Having seen and worn it  personally, we’re pretty stoked about it – it’s a little loud (a good thing) but not totally over the top (again, a good thing in our book).  The embroidery is impressive as you can see in the shot above – wait til you see the massive back design all done in embroidery (it covers almost the entire back of the hoodie).  ETA?  About a week and change from now.

Gama-Go Deathbot Hoodie by Joe Ledbetter

Gama-Go has posted teaser pics of their upcoming Deathbot hoodie designed by Joe Ledbetter.  It’s got full embroidery from the Deathabot to JLed’s signature on the back.  So when does it drop ?  Not next week, but the week after.  Edition size? 360.  We’ll have more info soon. More pics after the jump.

Huck Gee Skullhead Tees from Moshpop Manufactory

Huck Gee’s original Skullhead shirt from Kidrobot is one of my favorite vinyl related tees.  The only downside is it’s long out of print and fading.  Thankfully Huck has recently released the classic Skullhead design and a low profile black on black variant from Mosphop Manufactory of which Huck is a partner.  Available in both men’s and women’s styles, the tees are $29 (+shipping).  They’ll be on sale for as long as they last.  Stock up now ;-)
