Washing Machine Debut – Washing Machine is the closest thing in streetwear to a time machine. They’re starting with just some graphic T-shirts, but the designs look like they belong in PacSun, when it was Pacific Sunwear (and when it was cool). The small collection has a strong ’90s vibe. Imagine a mix of Freshjive and JNCO when it was all the rage with a dash of social commentary thrown in for good measure. Washing Machine is heavy on nostalgia, and the “Underachiever” tee (which is unfortunately sold out) is one of the more clever flips in recent memory. The price point even reflects what T-shirts like these would cost in ’93.

Eric Elms for CLOT – CLOT is working on an exclusive collection courtesy of Champion and they are getting Eric Elms to helm the design. For the Hong Kong brand’s latest drop, Kilroy from the Vietnam War era is mixed with the CLOT logo, along with a second geometric CLOT design. These custom graphics from Eric Elms will be printed on heavyweight Champion T-shirts and set to drop at all CLOT chapter stores very soon.

A Bathing Ape x Alpha Industries – The flight jacket has been a seasonal favorite for a few years now, and A Bathing Ape (BAPE) is finally getting on board. The Japanese brand taps Alpha Industries to drop a trio of MA-1 bomber jackets that use variations of BAPE’s 1st camouflage. Besides the popular print, the collaboration will yield a special winged APE HEAD logo. I really thought BAPE missed a great opportunity without using the shark motif, especially when you consider the design was based so heavily on the graphics painted on bomber planes.
