Custom Clothing Maker Predicts A 'MetroGenerational' Christmas:

Hoodalums Customized Clothes Give New Vibe to 'Old School' this Holiday Season

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 2, 2004 -- Old School has never been so cool. That's the holiday trend according to custom clothing maker, Hoodalums (www.hoodalums.com). The small California upstart announced today that it has launched its new Web site featuring customizable fashions that span the decades.

"Old Neighborhoods, throwback jerseys, vintage icons, that's the rage today," said Hoodalums president Stella Hayes. "We call it metrogenerational--it's a mixture of 60's, 70's and 80's but customized to make it current."

Hayes says the customized part of the equation is a must. Started in Hollywood, customized clothing is a relatively new trend and Hoodalums is on the vanguard of this fashion focus. The company produces a full line of customizable fleece hoodies, T-shirts, tank tops and undies for men, women and kids. Hoodalums shoppers can select a garment and adorn it with any message they like in a choice of letter colors and styles. Customers can select from an extensive library of phrases, or come up with their own. Garments range in price from $12 to $55.

"Making a fashion statement today means literally saying something with what you wear," said Hayes. "At Hoodalums we let shoppers cross the chasm from hip vintage to the latest cuts, customizing all the way. Our cutomers find that mixing elements from several decades lets them craft their own unique look."

Hayes announced that Hoodalums plans to continuously introduce new Custom Vintage items throughout this holiday season.

Hoodalums (hoodalums.com) is a fast-growing retailer of customized clothing and accessories based in San Jose, California.
