Experience Jimi Hendrix Clothing

Christopher Wicks is a genius. Not only has he made English Laundry a household name in the fashion industry, now he’s bringing back looks inspired by the greatest guitar player of all time: Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix was known for his fashion flair back in the day, and these designs mirror a time when fashion was free. These designs all vary by shirt, with contrast stitching, floral designs, translucent fabrics, and an English tailoring look. Take a look at what Style Rocket has to offer from Jimi Hendrx Clothing here.

“To be with the others, you have to have your hair short and wear ties. So we’re trying to make a third world happen, you know what I mean?” – Jimi Hendrix

Altru Clothing

Established in 2001, Altru Apparel produces premium 100 percent American-made T-shirts featuring vintage company logos as well as iconic cultural visuals. Licenses range from the obscure to the universal, representing the expansive taste of postmodern consumer culture. Altru champions the artists and organizations who adhere to their principles and flourish doing so. Countercultural Robert Crumb illustrations and old school streetwear-lifestyle brand X-Large share shelf space with the New York Times collection and the only official retro Olympic t-shirt line.

Walk through any metropolitan area in America and eventually you will spot someone wearing Altru Apparel. Even celebrities such as Zac Efron, Spencer Pratt, Robert Downey Jr., Paris Hilton, and Brian Austin Green have been photographed wearing Altru. In addition, many television shows choose to wardrobe their actors and hosts in Altru.

Not one to just coast along on recent successes, Altru Apparel kicks into autumn with its new Thrasher (Skateboard Magazine) line. In addition, Altru launches the Spaced Out series which evokes feelings of past Apollo missions, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Right Stuff, and a dash of Daft Punk space disco all at once. Bring it back to earth with the Past Presidents collection for all of those who remember American Presidential campaigns as colorful as the one we are experiencing now. From street to space to the oval office, Altru’s autumn 2008 lineup blends timeless visual communication with the perfect fitting and feeling shirts that have earned Altru such a loyal following.

We’ve been down with this guy and his empire for many a season. If you’re into a clean, English tailoring and don’t mind being a bit arrogant, this line is for you. Most of the time

Van Friggin’ Halen and NewStyles In!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’re back b*tches, and not like Britney Spears, more like Van Halen circa 1981. We’re talking David Lee in leather, flowing mane and chest hair flying, Eddie ripping it, Mike’s sweet background vocals, and Alex behind the drum kit lighting the ring of fire during the drum solo.

We took some time off the old blogosphere to make some improvements and get some new brands in. Check out what we have for you:

Our Ed Hardy selection is the best on the web people, and we now have watches.

There’s new Black Heart Brigade, Rebel Spirit, and English Laundry.

That should keep you busy for a while. We’re going to be very busy this season, because we’ve got tons of new designs and new companies coming in. For now, we’re gonna kick it with VH for a while, and by that we mean Van Halen, not Van Haggar or some Gary Sharone bull ish.
