K Adorable's Latest by Josh Rubin
k adorable was born in the spring of 2001 when two design worlds collided with a mutual interest in sneakers, jeans and the search for the perfect t-shirt. Those two worlds are Paul Marlow's fashion and Matthew Sandager's graphics, and the result is a subscription t-shirt service that delivers hand made, limited run, original designs. The latest issue is this rockin' golfer (click to zoom), and it's the first good use of a golf ball I've ever seen. The best k adorable is the excitement of not knowing what the next issue is going to look like-- it brings back an increasingly scarce element of surprise.
A 5 t-shirt subscription is $145 (plus shipping). You can also buy t-shirts individually, but that's not nearly as fun!

Laser-burnt with T-Book's clever, M.C. Escher-esque "Don't Kiss Goodbye" (pictured left, click either image for detail) or with their "I Love You" repeating script pattern (pictured right), the process takes about an hour for each pair....

Call of the Wild
Every day this week we're writing about the things that really caught our eye at the top British casualwear show To Be Confirmed last weekend. London-based Kai and Sunny are the designers responsible for Call Of The Wild, a label that's quickly done well through both word-of-mouth and blogosphere recommendations. I caught up with Kai at TBC, and he talked me through their thinking...

The pattern is pretty intricate and trippy so be sure to click on the photos above for a closer...
