NUM Vintage Inspired Tees: Peanuts

NewUrbanMale.com is the fashion and lifestyle store with the biggest collection of vintage inspired tees in town. With a collection of L.A's premier vintage inspired brands like Mighty Fine, JunkFood, Made U Look and Cheesey Tees, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing your favorite vintage tee.


One range that NewUrbanMale.com carries is one of the most famous characters - Peanuts. A poll in the US showed that the Peanuts gang is only second to Mickey Mouse in terms of being the most recognizable cartoon character in the US - beating Spiderman and even the Simpsons.

Peanuts was a comic strip created by Carles M. Schulz which ran for almost 50 years - from October 1950 to February 2000. The Snoopy series is so influential that it has even made it to the cover of TIME magazine; even it's cartoon series on TV has even allowed it to win 4 Emmy Awards (an award for the best television programming in the US).

Its success is largely due to the use of the Peanuts cartoon strip as a form of social commentary on the events happening during the era. Snoopy made references on everything that happens from the Vietnam War all the way to the launch of the first man on the moon - explaining the huge success of the Peanuts strip.


But what really warmed the hearts of many was the fact that they could relate to Charlie Brown and the gang. Especially with the Peanuts Classic, "A Charlie Brown Christmas." This Emmy Award winning television special would be a warm way to spend this Christmas season and make you understand why the Peanuts cartoon is such a hit with everyone.

After the show you'll definitely warm up to our range of Peanuts vinatge tees available in our premium stores. You'll be able to strike a chord with our 56-year-old characters from the Peanuts strip. So head on down to NewUrbanMale.com and get your vintage inspired Snoopy apparel right now before they grow any older.

Brand Spotlight: C-IN2 Undergear

Images from PAYOR
With more than 35 international brands under our belt, NewUrbanMale.com is the fashion forward lifestyle store for men with good taste. NewUrbanMale.com carries a range of apparel from vintage inspired tees from the United States to swimwear from Brazil.

One brand that is worth the mention among the 35 other brands is surely - C-IN2 from the US. Founded by the former designer of the 2(x)ist brand, Gregory Sovell has been regarded as the innovator of men's undergear and he truly lives up to that reputation.

Images from PAYOR
C-IN2 is a brand that is synonomous with comfort and innovation. Under Sovell's leadership and creativity, it has come up with a range of fashionable and innovative undergear. The label is probably the first undergear anywhere in the world to invent a push-up undergear. Its patented Sling Support System has been invented to hold your family jewels in place - giving you a boost down there, leaving you with a more defined profile. Not only is the C-IN2 push up undegear innovative, it is equally fashionable with a range of Pop Colors that would almost put a rainbow to shame (the undergear comes in colors of sky blue, green, orange, pink and yellow).

Images from PAYOR
And C-IN2 continues to wow consumers, especially with its latest range of undergear made from a unique bamboo-cotton mix. This particular range of undergear is made from a special bamboo-cotton mix that makes it as comfortable as viscose (similar in texture and comfort as velvet) , is naturally deodorizing and it inhibits the growth of any microorganisms - making this range perfect for the active man.

Images from PAYOR
In addition, the Bamboo Series has a new push up element - the Trophy Shelf. The trophy shelf keeps your "trophies" in place to give you a more pronounced profile, similar to the Sling Support System.

These latest innovations in undergear clearly puts C-IN2 ahead of the undergear industry and men are finally getting the attention they deserve. With a range of cutting edge undergear that doesn't compromise on style nor comfort, C-IN2 is truly a brand for the image and fashion conscious man of the millenium.


All the latest C-IN2 range are now available at NewUrbanMale.com.

Brand Spotlight: david & goliath


NewUrbanMale.com is the fashion and lifestyle store with the biggest collection of vintage inspired apparel in town. With more than 35 international brands in one store, one brand that truly stands out at NewUrbanMale.com, in its own hilarious way, is definitely david & goliath.

Started by artist and funny man Todd Goldman, david & goliath is a fashion brand with a taste for humor. Every piece of david & goliath apparel is surely to make you laugh with hilarious illustrations of characters that include Trendy Wendy, Dumb Blonde, Bonita Styles, Eve L and even Todd himself.


Todd himself designs these range of hilarious tees and accessories including the "Boys Are Stupid" range. This particular range features himself as the poor boy at the receiving end and it features illustrations of himself being bullied because of his own stupidity, with taglines such as "Boys Are Stupid Throw Rocks at Them" and "Boys Are Stupid Run Them Over."

However, the Boys Are Stupid range also faced some fierce opposition back in the US. Glenn Sacks, a men's activist, feels that these tees are degrading to the boys and will affect their self esteem. He was so adamant that he organized a boycott that got 3,000 retailers to pull these tees off their racks. But this publicity worked both ways, as much as it hurt sales, it also boosted sales thanks to the publicity.


We don't think these tees are offensive at all and you can find them here at NewUrbanMale.com. Better yet, there are more than just the Boys Are Stupid tees at NewUrbanMale.com, david & goliath has a range of other products that are equally as hilarious, such as twin bell alarm clocks, pyjamas, boxers, caps and even plush toys.

So if you need a good laugh, or maybe you just like to make people laugh, then you should get david & goliath right here at NewUrbanMale.com. david & goliath is exclusive to NewUrbanMale.com and can be found at the Premium Shops at The Heeren, Citylink Mall and the Cathay.
