Vancouver based 604Republic are holding a 3 for 2 special on all their highly salubrious graphic tees and hoodies. No need for a promo code, just checkout what you want (either 3 tees or 3 hoodies) for two-thirds the price!

What’s more there’s a new tee on the block. They’re definitely gaining the upper hand with this gorgeous little Art Nouveau number available for guys (I’m guessing girls too and very soon?) in brown at $17.95 in all sizes.

Bandit-1$M

Posted: 03 Nov 2010 07:13 AM PDT

Borne from the minds of the French creative collective 123KLAN, Bandit-1$M was founded in 2007 by Scien and Klor, recognised graffiti artists who used the label as a way of making a living rather than risking their necks on the street. In French culture street artists deploy what is known as "banditisme" or banditry. The dollar sign represents their descent into the murky mire of capitalism an essential part of human survival. Held aloft under the banner of authenticity and uncompromising style, their t-shirt collection mixes bold designs and smart messages in an array of catchy colours. There are plenty of accessories on offer if you want to go the whole hog including hats, stickers, cushions, posters, wall design and lots more.

The Fall Collection consists of 15 tees and it’s deeply rooted within 123KLAN's main in-house style including all the usual trademark details – a la mode graffiti icons, strong design and punchier messages. All the tees are presented in a slick palette of muted neutrals (grey, navy, black and white) revived with hints of red and deep orange. Available in unisex, girly and even kids sizes, all the tees are printed on American Apparel.

The collection is presented in an eighteen-page lookbook shot by artist Meka in iconic Montreal locations, and featuring Sylvestre from bike shop Brakeless, artist Yanick Blanchet, writer/blogger Elodie Laetitia and graffiti shop-owner Sino, plus the 123KIDZ. Here are a few of my faves from the ultra-street savvy collection – all available in heaps more colours and styles at $32 each (tax included).
