MonsterHoodies

Jen Dunlap and Zach Smith of NYC have launched MonsterHoodies, creating handmade hoodies that turn you into a cute monster. MonsterHoodies come in four designs, Shark Bite, Dinosaurus Rex, Neko Gato & Monster Kun and are now available for preorder, shipping on February 1st.

MonsterHoodies is run by Jen Dunlap and Zach Smith. We both live in NYC, and we love things that are disgustingly cute. MonsterHoodies started as a fun weekend project when we decided that our hoodies were just too boring. We wanted to liven them up a little bit, and we came up with the idea of making them look like animals. Specifically, we wanted them to look like scary (but cute!) monsters.

In London, hoodies are worn by troublesome youths which gives them a negative aura. So the MonsterHoodie is great because it softens that image.

These look okay, and cute in a hand-made way, BUT—
David at SEIBEI.COM has been producing a classier and more wearable version of this idea for a few years now! check out his ICE WIZARD HOODIE ($48)

I don’t think these people ripped off his idea (who hasn’t wanted their hoodie to be a giant MAW?) but SEIBEI did do it first, and I think the seibei hoodie is a lot more subtle and awesome.

I bought my first ICE WIZARD track jacket in 2006, and got a replacement one a few months ago— it rules! You can buy it online, or check here for local stores (I get his t-shirts at Villains in SF) here: http://seibei.com/vendors/

It seems that ‘things eating your head’ are really in right now! I wonder why that happens? Its like several people all over the world had a light bulb go on in there head “i know! What if a monster was eating my head?! Wouldn’t that be great?” Hehe, I think its adorable and I have one of these hats:

I think they’re more subtle like the SEIBEI ones, only they’re hats, not hoodies
