Someone Clothing is based in Portland, Oregon. The line started in 2007 when artist and screen printer Someone met hiphop artist and t-shirt enthusiast Sleep. They’ve been collaborating since meeting at a Glue concert and have been keeping their ties with rap strong — sponsoring artists like Josh Martinez and Glue member Adeem.

We were lucky enough to pick up Someone after meeting Sleep at a Chicarones concert in San Diego last year. Someone Clothing entered our Brand Battle and won with flying technicolors. Afterward they put together a great set of hand printed t-shirts for us — most of which are in custom colors exclusive to Always Urban.

All of their products are hand screened, and many come with hand painted customized color accents Someone calls “Monkey Arms.” The “Monkey Arms” process combined with the hand screening, make Someone shirts truly one-of-a-kind. You can go see Someone Clothing’s full array for yourself at their recently opened store and gallery space in Kelly Ave in Portland. Its dope. We heard through the grapevine. See it!

An introduction is probably in order…

Always Urban is based in Chicago, IL and strives to bring small, under-the-radar, independent clothing designers and artists to a larger audience. By bringing together amazing independent brands on AlwaysUrban.com, every brand gets greater exposure, and finds more new fans than they would be able to find individually.

Frankly, the global clothing empires that spend millions to use independent culture to launch exclusive versions of their globally distributed products are obnoxious. They are co-opting independent culture for their own benefit just as big corporations always have done. We know everyone realizes how fake, disingenuous, and calculated these companies are when they pander to us, but we also know that it can be hard to find the best truly independent clothing brands, because they don’t have multi-million dollar advertising budgets.

AlwaysUrban.com will always work to make sure independent designers and artists get their due, and that is exactly what we are going to bring in our guest blogging stint on T-shirt Alert! In the coming weeks we are going to give you information on the designers and artists we work with, plus information about other great artists, stores, crews and interesting folks from Chicago. We hope you will check all these great people out, that you’ll look us up if you are ever in Chi-town, and you will keep supporting independent clothing brands, designers, and artists.

Don’t worry, we didn’t forget to hook you up! You can use the code “2xdis1″ during checkout to receive an additional 25% OFF all our sale items. That is a double discount folks!
