HRTLS for JAPAN t-shirt

i was doing a lot of thinking about the devastation in japan, and felt that the first official t-shirt to come from hrtls should be about giving back, therefore the HRTLS for JAPAN t-shirt has come to life. selling for $25, 100% of the profit will go towards the cause. please think about getting one. 


message me if your interested and send me your size (in mens sizing) in order to secure a tee @ zach@hrtlsclothing.com

all of the lights remix - lil wayne, big sean & drake

ok i lied... here is the ultimate terrorist gizmo

i totally forgot that there was a credit card sized, fully foldable knife that could probably sneak through security at the airport no problem. at a price of only $25, please resist buying one for the whole family unless you want to spend your spring break in a windowless interrogation room without any constitutional rights.....


check out iain sinclair's master invention here.

creative money clip or TSA hazard....

the carbon fiber money clip knife by john kubasek is not only sleek, but also handy, having a flip out knife included. being only 3 credit cards thick, could this be the new choice among upper middle class hipsters or would it be more popular in circles of those trying to defy the law.....


either way it's sick and i'm down for one. get one for the small price of $199 at carbon fiber gear however they are on backorder.

breezy excursion... a touch of satire

ok so there's a brand i discovered recently called breezy excursion. they mostly do hoodies, sweaters, tees and polos; and all guys stuff. what they do quite well is prey upon other 'high society' brands and try to knock them down a few pegs. they play off of lacoste, rebranding it: le sexual by putting the crocs in compromising sexual positions. the even more effective one (in my opinion) is the play off of the polo logo: rebranding it as 'assassin' by having another polo player shooting the original man on horse image. get it at breezy excursion or through KARMALOOP.COM. USE THE REP CODE: HRTLS20 TO ENJOY 20% OFF YOUR PURCHASE! good lookin out y'all.

company animal: the liger




so my partner and i have been going over a good animal to use that really symbolizes the company as a whole. there's an age old battle about who's the king of the jungle; the lion or the tiger. so we decided that since we want to be kings of the jungle one day, we'll do what vietnamese scientists did and illegally breed a tiger and a lion, making the ultimate animal: the liger. let us know which colour scheme you like best! we really wanted to make the animal as eccentric as possible, to highlight our creativity.
