So for months I've been debating buying one of Tame Ape's Laek House sweat shirts well finally I broke down and bought one since they're on sale!!!!

It arrived today and man I'm glad I ordered a slightly larger sweat shirt but it fits perfectly because I did!!
I f'ing love the feel of a brand new sweat shirt!!!

$37 for the sweatshirt alone on American Apparel's website. Overhyped threads, for sure. However, they are comfortable, preshrunk, and fitted for people that actually ride bikes (that is, not for a 37 y/o fat ass). With only an additional $8 for some pretty sweet artwork, I'd say it's not too bad a deal.

Jesus...nice fitting's all right, but if you had the stuff inhouse would be the way to go...My mother has five industrial sewing machines...time to present a business plan!

chicodude, have you ever looked at the cost of hooded sweatshirts. it's un-****in'-real. $45 is on the low end. BMW (bike, not car) hoodies are like $65.

i was actually close to buying one of those, but i don't know if i really want to be affiliated with the fixie 'scene' down here. pathetic, i know. i do like the non-zippered one, though. no point in buying now since it's 79deg inside my apartment.

Man if I actually ever got cold I'd pay $45 bucks for that, it's freaking cool. Most skate/surf companies charge in that ballbark anyhoo. I'll be grabing a couple of the t-shirts as soon as I make some room in the closet. As it is I have almost 100 t-shirts so it looks like some lucky less fortunate peeps will get some bitchin' shirts.

It's too dmn bad I already have about 6 bajillion cheap hoodies.

They're not cheap though. They are really nice quality and great for the summer because they aren't real thick.


*end sales pitch*

I paid $50 for a quality Nike hoodie and that was on clearance.

We're printing everything on American Apparel right now. All design and production is handled in-house making Laek (pronounced 'lake') House a completely domestic company. Every item is actually printed to order which means it will take a little bit longer to get to you but gives it an artisan feel and assures perfection.

If you are not familiar with American Apparel’s shirts. They fit almost a size small and seem to be designed for skinny Italians.

one time i bought a hoodie for 50 bucks. it was my 16th birthday. i wore it this morning and its just as comfortable and in the same great shape as the day i bought it. lets see 50 bucks for 8 years of wear, its worth it. that being said, it may be time for an update, and i love that hoodie.
