Some of my favorite content on the site comes from our fashion vaults (that probably has a lot to do with my love for fashion, but I really do think we have found some fabric gems). I frequently find myself sifting through the archives to see what we’ve written about so I can give references to interested friends. Then I thought: why not do the same for all of you? So here it is– my top fashion picks from our vault. Just in time for holiday shopping!

T-Shirts, an item of clothing generally reserved for the warm spring time– but really is a year round necessity. Don’t get caught wearing mainstream nonsense this year– buy independent. We believe t-shirts are wearable art, and here are 11 of our favorite shirts ‘from the vaults’ for holiday time gift-age.

I really dig this new Invicid Hoodie, called ‘Tanks on Broadway.’ It’s new for Winter 06, hand-screened, and has inside pattern prints of grenades– basically all the good stuff we’ve come to expect from our friends in Seattle. We’ve posted Invicid before, but I thought I would send you all back to check out the new-for-the-holiday-season line up. Also check out the new ‘Black Heart Squadron‘ t-shirt– I always loved fighter jets.

It’s almost spring time which means we will start seeing lots of t-shirts for the warm weather. Invicid dropped some fly new t-shirt designs last week for their Spring/Summer 2006 lineup, all hand screened by Seattle artist and designer Mark Kirkpatrick. This two tone piece is called Bubble Gum Popstar, and you can grab it in their store along with a handful of other great new designs! Other favorites: Spacewalkers and Loveless.

Hot designers Invicid are back! They just released their latest collection– the series is called “Clouded By Fiction”, featuring 9 new styles for both men and women. These shirts are limited to just 100–so they won’t be around long. They have all been hand screen printed as well. The first 100 order gets a little Invicid Mosquito Guitar Pick, and some goodies. They have a wonderful independent feel, and are made on top quality sweatshop free T’s, hoodies, and leisure shirts.
