Tom Cridland | The 30 Year Sweatshirt



We've been without a washing machine for a couple of weeks. That means trips to the laundrette and digging out ageing clothes from the back of the cupboard.

Yesterday's item, for a trip to the climbing wall: a t-shirt from a Ricky Hatton vs Kostya Tszyu fight in Manchester...way back in 2005.

That's a 10-year old t-shirt! Is it the oldest item of clothing I own? Probably, is the answer - although, I have a few pairs of suspect looking socks that might rival that t-shirt for the crown.

Tom Cridland - a Cambridge based clothing company and, by total coincidence, the name of a guy I lived with way back when that t-shirt was brand new - are planning to challenge my ten year old t-shirt with a 30 year old jumper.

30 years! Think of that!

Thankfully, I'm still young enough that if I did own an item that was 30-years old, it would most likely be a bib or baby grow. However, in another 30...who knows. I could be ridding my hover board down the street, with stone wash denim, giant white Nikes, and that same jumper.

That's if they get funding. So drop them a pound on their Kickstarter and help make it happen.

FlyingJack - Design that's most definitely unique


Taking a leaf out of Mat's book, a quick one for today. There's not really a lot to say about FlyingJack, other than it was a quirky looking water bottle searching for investment on KickStarter - until 6 days ago.

I really can't make my mind up about this. It's either a cool design I'd like to see sat on the shelf or something I'd regret buying.


Either way, it doesn't look like I'll need to bother making a decision, as they just withdrew the project from KickStarter.

Whether you like it or not, it's always a shame to see an idea someone wanted help with fail. Oh well. Let's hope they find some investment from another source.

For now, I'll just keep browsing projects on KickStarter until I find something I definitely want to invest in.
