We take a first look at the Twelve Bar Spring 2009 collection. The brand continues to develop their cut & sew, which has substantially increased and now makes up the majority of the collection. We still remember the days when the Twelve Bar suitcase turned up, that they used to show their first t-shirt series with and it is great watching them grow and seeing where they are now.

The Spring 2009 collection offers shirts, shorts, jackets, knitwear, fleece and more. Most impressed we are by the large portion of knitwear that the new collection has – much more than all other brands that we see in this category. From heavily knitted tennis pullovers to wool cardigans and vests there is everything represented in the collection.

After a short hiatus, Fucking Awesome is back and will return onto shelves for Spring 2009. The new collection is mostly made up of graphics from found items, but they also bring back some strong classics, such as the Lagerfeld t-shirt and the Fucking Awesome logo t-shirts and hoodies. Furthermore you will find a couple of accessories in the new collection, such as the logo mesh caps.
Fucking Awesome was always a collection with a strong message, something that we appreciate a lot, as a message usually gets lost in the mass of t-shirt brands out there these days. That is also not changing with their new Spring 2009 collection.
It is great seeing the line now being fully back on track. This is not the last you will have heard from them.
