Perpetual Vogue - Tattoo Apparel becomes preferred dealer for Mission Clothing

TattooApparel.com has carried several designs of men's shirts each season from Mission Clothing for the last several years. We are pleased to announce that we have agreed to start making their entire line available to both our online customers and our Perpetual Vogue retail store customers.

This week we added several of their new styles to the Mission Clothing category on TattooApparel.com . We will be doing a photo shoot with our models sometime in the near future to photograph the rest of the line and will then add all of the items onto the web site so our customers all over the world can have access to his edgy California based clothing line.




Mission Clothing speaks to the guy that wants unique edgy wardrobe pieces that are not the same as what everyone else is wearing. The styles have tattoo art influences but are also heavily influenced by Mythology and Mystical idealogy. The designs often combine modern and mythological designs together for a very unique look that tells a story. Each garment is hand processed and many have detailing that includes specialty washes, embroidery, metal studding, rhinestones or touches of foiling to catch the light.

They fill a real niche in mens fashions as they look nothing like the overdone styles from Ed Hardy or Affliction yet Mission Clothing designs will appeal to a guy that has liked either of those very different types of brands in the past but is now looking for something new and fresh. Mission Clothing is made in the USA which is something to be proud of in the fashion world these days.



While Mission is a Mens Clothing line we have many female customers that like to wear their long sleeve tee shirts or fitted woven shirts over leggings for that edgy menswear look.

The new hoodies that are available now have some great designs and the fabric is oh so comfortable.

Mission Lion Shirt as worn by Michael Jackson available on Amazon.com

The interest has been tremendous for the Red Mission Lion shirt as seen on Michael Jackson in This Is It.

TattooApparel.com started shipping out orders for the shirt last Tuesday and orders continue to pour in for this gorgeous shirt which is the Ultimate Michael Jackson fan item.

There has been a lot of interest from all parts of the world. Because we know that some people are more comfortable ordering through Amazon we have added the Mission Lion Shirt to our storefront on Amazon.com . This can also be easier for customers in China and some other Countries that have issues with processing their credit cards online. Orders placed on Amazon will ship from our Southern California Store Warehouse just like orders placed on our retail site. If you are in Southern California you may also purchase the shirt in person at our boutique, Perpetual Vogue in La Habra. Perpetual Vogue is located at 230 E. Whittier Blvd. in La Habra.

Perpetual Vogue, TattooApparel.com is the preferred dealer for Mission Clothing.

Shirt worn by Michael Jackson in This is It

The King of Pop continues to break more records since his unfortunate death. The CD, This Is It, seen in the above photo from Amazon is a top seller on Amazon and other sites. The movie, This Is It is bringing in big crowds during its limited release.

We were surprised a week or so back when we started receiving phone calls from customers asking us for the Red Lion Shirt that Michael Jackson wears on stage in This Is It. There are also several photographs of Michael wearing this shirt in the booklet that comes with the music CD. A local customer who had seen the shirt in our retail boutique in the past came in looking for it but we were currently sold out of them. We viewed the photos to see which shirt all the excitement was about and found that it is indeed a shirt from one of our favorite designer brands, Mission Clothing. It is the Mission Red Lion Shirt.

We went to visit our friends at Mission Clothing in their design studio on Monday and shot some video of the Mission Red Lion shirt that they have framed in the studio. We will have this shirt back in stock in the very near future and are offering it on TattooApparel.com now on a presale basis as the shirt will be in limited supply. This is a chance for Michael Jackson fans to own a piece of clothing that is the same shirt design (designed, owned and trademarked by Mission Clothing) that Michael owned and wore on stage. It also makes a fabulous gift for any fan of the King of Pop - much better than just owning a t-shirt with Michael's photo on it , this is the actual shirt like what Michael wore.




Presale going on now at www.TattooApparel.com

Indigo Star Rocker Style Mens Wear that is affordable

We love finding fashion companies that have their design team based in Los Angeles. It allows us to meet with them in person to view get a real feel for their take on fashion and view the quality of their designs.

Recently we met with the team at Indigo Star. Indigo Star is based in Los Angeles and all of their design work is done there. They have some items manufactured off shore but the actual design work is done in Los Angeles and they keep a firm hand on quality control. It is an understatement to say that we were impressed. Indigo Star mens wear has fashion forward designs equal to what we expect to find with well known streetwear brands. The beauty of Indigo Star is that the quality is actually better than many of the well known, oversaturated fashion brands that are on the market yet their prices are lower.

Indigo Star jeans and shirts have a look that makes us think of Garage Band makes it big yet wants to wear fashions that are edgy but at the same time don't look like they are trying to hard to be cool.

Indigo Star shirts have detailing such as embroidery, unique prints and appliques. Their jeans have designs on them such as Crosses, Snakes and Iron Crosses. The pricing is great. Jeans are around $60.00 and shirts range from $35.00 - $65.00. We just added the line to our web sites recently. We had it in our boutique for a few weeks prior to that and our boutique clients have been raving about it. They love the look, feel and the price.

Indigo Star is available online at TattooApparel.com and PerpetualVogue.com . It can also be found at the Perpetual Vogue Boutique in Southern California.

New One Round OMR Shirt designs - not just for Fight Fans

No one can deny the popularity of the cage fighting phenomena. It gets more and more popular over time between MMA, UFC and other fight associations it seems that there is always a big fight about to be fought.

Clothing companies of course follow current trends and it seems like there are fighter brand shirts everywhere these days. We have made a point of only carrying the fighter style shirts from One More Round and OMR by One More Round. The reason we chose to carry this brand is that they appeal to a wide audience. They are not just for fight fans. Many UFC fighters wear the shirts and even take part sometimes in the design process but One More Round does not put fighters names or faces on the shirts. Lets face it everyone loves a winner but are you really going to keep wearing a shirt with a fighters name all over it once he starts losing? Probably not. The name itself, One More Round has many meanings. Certainly it can mean one more round in the fight ring but it can also mean one more round of Poker, one more round of drinks or another round of ammunition. Many of their shirts do have a fight theme to them but others have other classic designs such as knights, tattoo art dragons or western gunslinger themes. This makes One More Round shirts the fighter style shirts that appeal to everyone.

We just received several new shirts from the Fall line of OMR by One More Round and have more new designs on the way. These shirts have great styling with lots of unique detailing at an affordable price which makes them great for the upcoming Holiday gift giving season or as a new shirt for your own wardrobe.

One More Round shirts are available at TattooApparel.com , Perpetual Vogue.com , MensShirtShop.com and on Amazon.com

The shirts are 100 Percent Cotton with a leather ELEON logo. High quality printing make the images come to life.

The shirts may be considered racy by some but at the same time the imagery involved is quite fascinating. They have been well received by both male and female customers in our retail boutique. Several female customers told us that they found the designs empowering as the lovely nude models depicted seemed to be strong and self assured - enjoying the moment and knowing that they were in full control - enjoying the reactions their images inspired.

We brought in a performer from one of the Cirque De Soleil Shows to pose with our male model for some of the shots. We really enjoy the shots of her tying up the male model who is wearing the ELEON All Tied Up Shirt. Life imitating art in reverse!

We hear that ELEON shirts are in the Celebrity Stylist closet for the HBO show, Entourage as part of Johnnie Drama's (Kevin Dillon) wardrobe for next season. We certainly cannot guarantee that they will be worn on the show but the HBO stylist did ask to add them to the wardrobe for the show.

ELEON Shirts are available now at the Perpetual Vogue Retail Boutique in La Habra California as well as online at TattooApparel.com , PerpetualVogue.com and MensShirtShop.com
