Kid Robot x Lemar & Dauley - hoody review

Mailman brought me a present, long-time...
This Kid Robot hoody is pretty dang eye-catching, eh?:



Kid Robot (www.kidrobot.com) has been doing a few super limited collabo hoodies with various companies lately and they are pumping out some wild shit. This hoody is # 37 of 228 released worldwide, which is pretty fucking limited. Running for only $150 retail, these hoodies are going to skyrocket in price for those all-over-print heads that want / like to look like a Care Bear (just saw this hoodie go for over $350 and they just came out a week ago). The cotton is reeeealy soft, just like the clouds and baby blankets that the childish design takes you back to. The fit, however, is a bit slim. The arms are longer than the chest, which I will call the monkey-fit, the cuff on the sleeve is like a fucking foot long, and the hood could swallow the headless horseman's pumpkin head whole. The zipper comes up about as high as a mock turtleneck and gives the sweatshirt an astronaut helmet feel, I guess. I wore it out the other day and broke the necks of a bunch of extremely approachable females, which is always nice. I just hope they didn't think I was flamboyantly gay. This sweatshirt definitely makes you seem less aggro, if you are one of those constantly angry looking motherfuckers, thus I recommend wearing it when you are talking to a potential hookup that just broke up with her boyfriend. Just try not to get mascara all over it because black doesn't really go with the theme of this sweatshirt. They make these sweatshirts for females, too; just hope you don't run into Sally when she's rocking hers or you'll look REALLY gay. These hoodies are an extremely profitable business venture for the urban clothier / clothing consigner (like myself), to say the least. Hustle and come up by any means necessary, kid.

Heads up: Trickwood (www.trickwood.com) is going to be getting the new Kid Robot collabos in later this month. Go hit up Steve and Kyle if you want to get your hands on some. I saw some of the new patterns and they are pretty freaking cool. Again, I am a fan of this sweatshirt to the core. I just wish you good luck in pulling it off...

Like my bedsheets?
