Hi Y’all,

Been pretty much just lounging the whole Sunday. Last night stretched a bit with some good company and Star Trek. We also browsed all sorts of movie/comic book/video game collectibles with prices ranging from 70 euros to up to 450 euro Final Fantasy “collectible miniature”. I was (and still am) eager to get me a collectible Mark-I Iron Man- helmet, which to an untrained eye surely looks like nothing more than a metal dustbin with few holes poked to the sides and turned upside down. My significant other however does not fully agree with such investments, haha. Still I say… Good stuff…

Well anyway, a while back I shared some info on a Japanese brand called QUOLOMO. Well some actually asked me whether we’ve got these shirts and at the moment the answer is still no, although who knows what the future holds, heh. I might have not got my Iron Man helmet yesterday, but following some digging on QUOLOMO I got my hands on a shirt from this novelty brand.

And without further due, straight outta Tokyo…

Similar to certain Kiks Tyo pieces QUOLOMO shirts come in a nicely folded box. Although the Kiks Tyo issues come in a shoe box, QUOLOMO shirts are in a bit smaller box. Another similarity to Kiks Tyo is the plastic envelope. As a bonus I got a little brochure inclusive of photography of a recent collaboration between Yone and Zippo.

Few images of this particular collabo.

Back to business, the actual shirt acquired is indeed a limited edition QUOLOMO shirt featuring photography by Yasumasa Yonehara (aka Yone) and Japanese av-star and media personality Sora Aoi. The shirt was sold at Shibuya Parco complex at a YONE exhibition.

The shirt has a very similar feeling to the Kiks Tyo shirts and features the signature high quality photo prints. Good stuff, heh. In addition to the basic tees QUOLOMO also produces limited edition organic cotton tees, which are pretty hard to get unless you’re in Tokyo at a right time. Not that there’s anything wrong with the basic tees, heh.

I will be probably posting more stuff about QUOLOMO in the future so stay posted. In the meanwhile enjoy the remaining hours of Sunday left, wherever you are.

I thus leave you with a question, when was the last time you got yourself something you don’t necessarily need but just needed to get it no matter what?

Long live and prosper… I’m out…
