So, most of us love SecretBase and Bounty Hunter toys to name but two, but are we into their respective clothing lines - and do we even care about them?
Put me down for a big en-oh. I could care less. Now if they start making candles and crap, then they will get my attention. But not in a good way.
i have one of the BxH logo tshirts but that's it ... there are some other designs that i like quite a bit, but that shit is expensive (which is somewhat ironic considering what i spend on toys, but whatever).
secret base clothes...no bxh clothes...yes, but not everything they make. Shocker/dementia 13....BEST OF THE BUNCH
alot of it looks cool.. i just wouldn't wear it. and even when i do see one i like that i would wear, it says something like "fxxkoneself" or "i want to kill your family with a bat" or something... and i can't wear that.
why not? I don't have any clothes of either company, but that's only because I can never find anything I like in my size.
I really like a lot of it. I bought 3 Secret Base sweatshirts when I had the chance and unfortunatly they all had kind of a funny fit, one being way too short for me even though it was a medium and I usually wear small shit, the others weren't to bad though. I think I'm going to ask somebody if they can sew a piece of fabric into it to make the really short one longer, I don't even care if it looks funny I just want to wear it. Or I might rip the sleeves off and wear it while I'm pumping Iron, weightlifters always seem to wear funny little sweatshirts like that. After that experience I'd be pretty hesitent to buy clothing from Japan unless I really knew how it would fit, shit's expensive. I haven't tried on my Secret Base Underwears or Condom though.
maybe others can wear it... i just can't pull it off. i'm not saying someone is stupid for wearing it... i'm just saying i'd look stupid wearing it. for some people it fits, for me, i don't think it does. the pricetag is also too rich for my blood. sorta like me wearing FUBU or G Unit... can't do it
I like "i want to kill your family with a bat" - sounds like it has logo potential. Fuckoneself is so funny, it sounds like something the Queen might say to someone pissing her off: "My good man, please go a way and kindly fuck ones self" . My ultimate favorite SB shirt is the GID Death Phantom shirt. I also really like some of the shocker stuff available on worldwide...its priced right for the US market as well.
I never owned anything with a skull on it before I started collecting SB. Now I have all these scary angry t-shirts. I guess you could say collecting toys has made me look tougher. I have been loving this design recently:
they boarder on cool and tacky for me...tacky usually wins since there is always something small that really bugs me...so i own no bxh, sb gear.
I like that this has resurfaced, as I didn't even know it existed to begin with. Personally, I'd love more toy makers to produce clothing alongside their toys. Bounty Hunter, Bemon and Secret Base I think are more along the lines of the street wear idea and aesthetic, which is where the price point comes into play. I bought a Bounty Hunter shirt during my Tokyo stay, a hoodie I got from eBay and I have a Secret Base shirt from TAG. I think Paul Kaiju'a shirts are extremely fun and affordable, very much fitting into his vibe with his creations. I'd really like to see shirts, crewneck and such from Splurrt/Secretoy and a rebirth of the OG Fink Shit "Fightoy" shirt.
