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.
