Gothic Tracksuit?

topic posted Mon, September 3, 2007 - 5:55 PM by  Kadesh
Okay... so I'm really lame, but, next semester I will be taking some pretty difficult classes. Actually, for the next few years I will be taking difficult classes... Anyway, I will be getting up at the crack of dawn, going to the gym before school, then studying at school all day. I do not intend to be a fashionista (except on the weekends). So, I am looking for something that is comfortable to sit around in all day, while still representing the fact that I am so goth that I bleed black. Does anyone know of an online store that sells all black tracksuits with gothy sayings or pictures? I want to just throw it on, pull my hair up in a bun, throw on some nerd glasses and get to the books.... Is this allowed? Does this fantasy of an easy approach to evil even exist?

    Time for a little d.i.y.?

    Otherwise you might contact a designer like Play Dead Cult (Clothing for the black collar worker - after all) and see if they might do something custom for you. I just happen to know the PDC folks and know they do great stuff.

      Wow... thank you... Should I mention then that you refered me? Do these guys just use heat transfers to make the shirts? Perhaps they'd let me find a few things that fit nice, and arrange to have the images applied? I would totally be down to rock their designs!

        Couldn't hurt any, but I'm not sure it would help to mention me :)

        They do custom screen printing and fashion design. It might increase the cost quite a bit to go for custom desiggned images as they would have to burn a new screen for the piece. Speculation on my part. You would probably want to talk with them about it.

        It definitely sounds like a good idea. I'm sure my wife would love custom yoga pants from them :P

          I should also add that Cosmic Debris made some Emily yoga clothes a few years ago. I'm not sure if they are still in production...

    I am a huge fan of black yoga pants and black T-shirts, indeed, some with pithy sayings from (gasp!) Hot Topic. A current favorite is my black one that says in white letters: I Bite Back. And of course, here in rainy Portland, there is the ever popular black hoodie to throw over the T-shirt in cooler weather. Add black sunglasses (even on the cloudy days!)and you will still be "so goth you're dead" I promise you!
