The Jnglst V.I.P Range of T-Shirts and Hoodies
We've recently introduced our new VIP range of clothing.
We wanted a range of t-shirts and hoodies that stood out from our normal clothes in style, design and cut. We spent months testing out dozens of t-shirts and finally found what we felt was the perfect tee.
It was a heavier than our normal t-shirt and it had a relaxed old school fit which we loved. It didn't have the massive arms that some relaxed fit t-shirts have, it was just a little bigger and roomier without overdoing it.
Next up we needed the perfect range of hoodies. For a while now we'd been focusing on pullover hoodies. Zip hoodies had sadly faded from popularity for a while. But as with all things fashion, it was cyclic and they were coming back. So we started the process again for hoodies, testing them for wearability, shape, hang, cut, fabric, inside lining, all the important stuff that makes for a great hoody. It took a while, but we finally found the perfect one.
Our new range needed a vibe, so it was over to our designers to start working on ideas, we wanted a nineties streetwear vibe to the whole thing but something that felt modern and fresh.
The First VIP Designs
Our first design, the Smiley Rewired, was our remix of the classic smiley face, we fired it through some filters and distorted it and gave it a modern little twist. For our VIP t-shirts we are only hand screen-printing. The printing needs to be as perfect as the clothes. We picked just the right yellow to pop and off we went. The finished results looked beautiful!
After that we moved onto to a crown. Every Jungle VIP is royalty to us, so they needed a Jnglst crown to wear, again we screen-printed them large and by hand. They really pop, especially in black on a white t-shirt!
Our Jnglst VIP range is gaining in momentum, we've got new designs coming out every few months and we are always working to make them the perfect range of vintage vibed, perfect feeling, original threads for Junglists.
