Thursday, April 29, 2004

Just got the call from the OBEY UK Distributors....T-Shirts are in the country and will be with us tomorrow...cool..can't wait...OBEY is one of those brands we've been itching to get our hands on for sometime now....we've had some of Shepard Faireys limited prints at home for a few years now, we had the hassle of buying them direct from the states so it'll be nice to get them direct in the UK....

This drop is a few lines of T-Shirt designs, the main drop comes in for Autumn/Winter...gonna go fast...

Check here tomorow evening if we can pull our finger out in time...OBEY T-Shirts
all the new Dirtyhabit T-shirts are now in the store...should do very well especially if the reaction at the NEC Bike Show a couple of weeks ago is anything to go by...nice one lads..

wow....we've got 134 different mens t-shirts in stock at the moment! hmmm...note to self....keep the budget tight when doing next seasons orders!

All our Mens T-Shirts
...Also added last night were some rather nice new bags from Artbox. These beauties have got that real japenese/chinese vibe with funny translations, cute bears, cats, rabbits hello kitty style.....they're made from vinyl and woven plastics, super bright neon colours and are perfect to carry stuff to the beach or park this summer....very nice indeed and very cheap!!!
check out Artbox Bags
Added last night were some nice new t-shirts from Hick Industries....real fresh trailer trash inspired designs from a London based brand....

Funny story there...we met Hick Industries at the Margin trade show in london last February and the guy looked familiar..turns out he was 2 years above me at school! and his wife was in my class for almost 10 years...small world!
Anything to put Battle Road School, Hailsham on the map!! Hailsham represent! Someone has to...

Their colour catalogue also features the local speedway king, Dave Norris...Arlington Eagles...Speedway is true Hick lifestyle!

We're almost reaching full stock in the store! Almost everything has arrived for Spring/Summer...and i should know i've been cutting out a further 60 photos of new stock!
We're going to be up to over 600 products..!! ouch...i've got sqaure eyes and big gut growing rapidly from too much time in front of the mac in photoshop...

We've been busy updating the UI Store website recently with help from our friends at Sevenfive. If, like me, you need to cut to the chase sometimes when browsing online shops..we've now made it easier to see the entire range of a brand that we have in stock in one go....you can select to see 9 items at a time using the drop down menus, the standard bite size view or now you can select the 'Brand Big List'....this will allow you to see the entire range in one long list...and as we got a fairly decent server and we've optomised all the product pictures this should take too long even on a 56K modem....using broadband its a matter of seconds...

Give it a go and see if you like it...a few choice examples...
