RETREAT - A fresh and innovative U.K clothing brand, which was formed in 2004 by graphic designer and DJ, Paul Sudron aka Paul Sid.

Retreat aims to bring a little more of our own feeling of individualism, and to focus on the design and the aesthetic of what we are trying to achieve.

Current focus lies on some raw t-shirt designs featuring both graphics and more abstract motifs and more recently sweatshirt designs for the autumn/winter collection.

RETREAT FROM ALL EVIL!!!

Hide Your Arms is a blog that focuses on discovering and promoting the best sleeved clothing that is available from independent labels and designers on the internet. This includes hoodies, track jackets and sweaters.

Since its in January 2006 HYA has come to be respected by its peers, readers and the clothing labels that are featured. The blog has grown from its original remit and now provides readers with news of sales, new releases, hands-on reviews, and occasional interviews with designers and store owners. Whilst the focus at HYA will always be on sleeved-clothing, high quality t-shirts are also featured.

HYA has only one staff member (the all-powerful Andy), this helps to give consistency of opinion throughout the website. This helps regular readers to interact on a more personal level. In the past there have also been guest posts by respected tee bloggers, who were allowed to forget about tees and cover their arms for a change by telling the readers about their favourite hoodie. Also, since there is only one main writer, the readers know who to blame when I forget to write a post!
