The Best Things In Life Are Beers

Filed under: Wearables

This sweatshirt is a tailgater’s dream come true. For $45, the Beer Bottle Holder Sweatshirt will not only keep your hands cozy, it’ll hold your beer for you as well. Truck through the parking lot with pride, knowing you’ve got the advantage in that game of catch considering you’ve got two free hands. Just make sure the More Taste League (MTL) doesn’t catch you with a Coors in that sweatshirt.

UNDFTD Obama T-Shirt

Filed under: Design, Wearables

Barack Obama clothing is everywhere these days. In order to give your even more Obama wardrobe options, UNDFTD teamed up with Geoff McFetridge to make this shirt featuring likenesses of the Democratic Presidential candidate.

UNDFTD’s Obama shirt is part of a voter registration drive. They’re releasing the shirt at an event in Las Vegas on October 4th. It’s a pretty cool shirt, but I can’t help but think that it looks a bit like a ripoff of Pharrell’s last album cover.

Advertising a la Minority Report

Filed under: Design, Science, Software

Do you remember the scene in Minority Report where Tom Cruise walks into a Gap and is greeted by a holographic female who recommends clothing to him based on facial recognition? I remember thinking how awesome it would be if a hot holographic chick did all my shopping for me so I could just lounge around and stare at girls’ asses. Lucky for us, YCD Multimedia shares the same feelings and is working to bring digital signs to our local malls.

Each sign will be able to scan a customer’s face and analyze it. After determining race, age, sex and ethnicity, the system will recommend purchases based on your bodily makeup. It’ll be interesting to see what it recommends for me. I’m assuming some t-shirts are in order….

Colombian Bulletproof Chic

Filed under: Design, Wearables

Colombian fashion designer Miguel Caballero has been described as the “Armani of bulletproof clothing.” Caballero, pictured above with action movie star and guitar enthusiast Steven Seagal modeling one of his leather jackets, makes ultra-lightweight bulletproof gear using a top secret material. Though Caballero won’t reveal exactly how he makes the lining in his high security duds, he says it involves flexible plastics that are supposedly much more effective at repelling gunfire than old-fashioned kevlar.

Caballero’s bulletproof jackets come in leather and nylon varieties for both men and women. They also come in a variety of colors including orange and bright red that I can’t imagine anyone who was concerned about getting shot would be caught dead wearing. or maybe they would be caught dead wearing it, that’s the problem. Caballero’s dark colored stuff is definitely safe though. With one of these coats and a bulletproof stroller the whole family can survive firefight is style and comfort.

Color Changing Sneakers React To Sunlight

Filed under: Design, Wearables

Asics teamed with the German sneaker boutique solebox to create the Gel Lyte III, a pair of dope kicks that change color when exposed to sunlight. Having sneakers that change from white to purple when you step outside might not be as practical as Transitions type color changing sunglasses, but they look much cooler. The Gel Lyte III’s hit stores on August 23rd. Purple isn’t my thing so I won’t be buying, but I do want to get a look at these in person since they’re probably the most unique thing to hit the sneaker scene since those Nike transformers. After the jump, check out more pics of these Chameleon style kicks.
