You'd have to have some nerve (and a desire to get your ass whooped) to throw garbage on your mom's lawn or to spray toxic fumes all over her crib -- so why are we so quick to act that reckless when it comes to Mother Earth? That's the message Local Celebrity is conveying with its "Respect Your Mother" hoodie, made of 100% organic cotton. The vintage wash gives it that nice lived-in feel and makes it extra cozy. And here's my favorite design element -- unlike most hoodies, which fall at the waist, this one is pretty long, covering the hips and backside. And here's why that's awesome:if it's chilly outside and you favor low-rise jeans (which most of us do), do you want a hoodie that's going to ride up and leave a whole patch of your back exposed to the cold? Nope, that's never a good look. This length gives you the perfect amount of coverage while still having a slim, body-conscious fit.
If you're not familiar with Local Celebrity, here's a primer. It's a 5-year-old T-shirt line based out of Los Angeles (Skid Row, to be exact) with lots of old-school flavor (they even have funny, irreverent designs that reference those '80s anti-drug commercials featuring McGruff the Crime Dog -- how awesome is that?) and hip-hop sass (one of their tees pokes fun at Kanye by bearing the words "Diamonds Are Forever... For Ever Ever? For Ever Ever?"). Other cool slogans include: "Back Like Cooked Crack," "Too Legit To Quit," and "Shake It Like A Salt Shaker." Every Monday, they update their site with new designs so you can always know when to expect new goodies.
The Respect Your Mother shirts are part of a collaboration that dates back to 2006 with the non-profit organization Global Green USA (globalgreen.org), which specializes in global warming issues. The hoodie is their latest wonder, but they also have tees bearing a similar design. Now go show your other moms some love!
