T-Shirt Pop-Up
A staple for any lockdown wardrobe thanks to their no-fuss sense of wear, t-shirts continue to remain an all-season essential despite the given climate. Dubbed a ‘walking canvas’ and an expressive way to showcase custom artistry and decals from your favourite skate and streetwear brands, here at Flatspot our extensive collection of short-sleeve tees is set to complement any #stayathome setting. Season-friendly profiles from Polar Skate Co., Nike SB, Carhartt and Thrasher bring colour and creative characteristics to the drawn-out winter months, whilst in-coming layers ahead of spring, such as hoodies, jackets and sweaters make great layering options no matter whether whilst lounging on the couch or conducting a pre-scheduled Zoom.
Inspired by Japanese fiction and ideational pop-culture, San-Fran’s Thrasher Magazine conquers the transition to warmer months with a heavyweight profile rich with colour and character. Part of the Thrasher x Godzilla collection initially restricted to the 66 6th store in the Golden City, this jade-green profile welcomes an energetic touch of colour to the classic profile, whilst kanji-script modifications of the OG branding keeps the mythical vibe alive even from the comfort of your own home.
Creating a buzz around the soon-to-be passage to spring and the coming summer months, Nike SB’s photo-realistic Bee T-Shirt pairs a comfortable construction with macro-level intricacies for a casual yet animated sense of wear. Gearing us up for when lockdown lifts and the festival seasons and lengthy skate sessions return, this big-bee tee keeps ‘90s influences alive in line with true Nike SB character.
Cast your casual lockdown wardrobe back a generation with this ‘80s era throwback staple from Parisian skatewear collective Hélas. Pastelised jewel-tone colourings tap into the design’s ski-resort vibe, with the nine-square collage serving sports-centric detailing to honour its mountain peak namesake. Suited to boarders and die-hard skate enthusiasts alike, OG Cap Club Hélas’ chest-crested Himalaya T-Shirt is a short-sleeve profile backed by a crisp and refreshing sense of nostalgia.
Carhartt Scotty Pocket Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Adhering to Carhartt’s irrefutable ability to strike the perfect balance between lounge-wear function and everyday capability, the long-sleeved Scotty Pocket T-Shirt offers a irrefutable layer of warmth that’s sure to complement any #stayathome setting. Boasting a trans-seasonal wear thanks to its well-crafted construction and its classic striped styling, this white and grey-heather staple combines subtle urban undertones with an ageless legacy certified by classic ‘C’ patch embroidered detailings across the chest.
Pass Port Life of Leisure Embroidery T-Shirt
For those looking for something a little more emotive in colour and casual in composure, the Life of Leisure embroidered t-shirt from Sydney-based Pass-Port’s latest ‘Range #31’ release supplies a humble, honest and well-collected aesthetic that honourably reflects the collective’s all-Aussie roots. Vineyard-themed graphics tributise the brand’s humble roots and founder Trent Evans’ admiration for references outside the realm of skate, whilst the continuation of subdued colourings witnessed last season introduces a refreshing sense of reclaimed character ahead of SS21.
Unrestrained by their admiration for conceptual graphics and their to-the-point Nordic design style, Polar Skate Co. associate Hjalte Halberg combines artistic expression with non-conformist vibes to deliver the Baby Apple T-Shirt. With Flatspot one of only five stockists for the brand, this casual-cut tee is guaranteed to bring about a sense of uniqueness to any relaxed work-from-home setting. Innovatively crafted from 100% organic cotton for a sustainable and environmentally-friendly sense of wear, this pram-pushing fruit themed silhouette pairs classic cut-and-sew Scandinavian artisanship with rejuvenated new-season necessity to deliver both at home and during any post-lockdown, socially-distanced excursion.
With a namesake that accurately reflects the generic vibe of lockdown, Ohio-based Quasi’s carolina-blue hued Bored T-Shirt accurately maintains the brand’s ‘nonspecific but distinctive’ aesthetic for yet another season. Following in the footsteps of Mother Collective and the famed Alien Workshop, Quasi remains a firm favourite when it comes to unconventional prints and graphics, with their break-free aura and notably old-school sense of charm welcoming an unexpected dash of nostalgia to the changing seasons. Pastel tones mirror the carry-forward trend set about by Pass-Port, whilst the trippy and folkloric gnome detailing serves subtle reflection of the brand and founder Chad Bowers’ quirky persona.
Joining past-season artwork from team-riders such as Isaiah Kennedy, Dane Brady and Aaron Herrington, Ryan Mettz’s socio-political inspired ACAB drop in collaboration with Polar Skate Co. serves poignant print detailing in honour of current hot-topic complexities. Based out of Brooklyn and famed for his ‘figural approach’ when it comes to stimulative artistry, Greenpoint Tattoo Co. associate Ryan Mettz brings an animated layer of depth to a returning Polar Skate staple. A visionary re-write of the OG stroke-logo design, this police-scene tee is set to remain a noted talking point regardless of lockdown setting.
