FFF: Meet Kev, our last weeks winner!

The last 24 hours have been crazy. Nothing less than 110 orders flew in with outcast day, which deliver us a busy weekend. But before we let you go to your country house over the weekend, that well deserved real life of getting drunk and laid, it’s another round of FFF – Facebook Fan Friday. Get involved to win a free Mystery Shirt.

And meet another winner: Kev Field won last week’s quiz with his personal and entertaining anecdote. As promised he not only won a free Mystery Shirt, but also a spot in our very own Hipstery Journal. Here is what we were able to squeeze out in our friendly inquisition:

1 How did you find out about our mystery service and how much convincing did you need that it was legitimate?

I use Mozilla Firefox for internet browsing and the add-on Stumble which picks out random web-sites thru the preferences you have chosen for your profile. So I stumbled into the “Hipstery” site and just like “Stumble” giving me mystery from the internet, “Hipstery” gave me mystery in my T-shirt choice……
It wasn’t like it was a crazy gamble but it intrigued me nonetheless since as an internet consumer, we’re deluged now by choice, which far from simplifies that choice, it complicates it.

2. How was the experience and what did our sultans of cool select for you?

I used to collect alot of house music vinyl when I was a dj and often the record shop was busy on a weekend and as much as you would like to hear the vinyl before purchase, it wasn’t always the case so I would go home with alot of records under my arm which I trusted the man in the shops’ choice. When I got home and unwrapped the vinyl and played the tune for the first time, on finding out it was a great tune, it gave you a buzz just hearing it. Choosing a t-shirt from your website is on that same principal, I trusted you and you delivered!!
I’ve even forgotten who designed the T-shirt, there’s an “American Apparel” tag inside but is that just the Tee it’s printed on?? But that is the ideal, if you want a “designer” “standard” “uniform” t-shirt, there are plenty of other sites catering for that. I feel your site is more of a “vibe” thing than anything else and if it feels right, do it.

3. You look young in your picture. Did you ever even kiss a girl? What do you look for in a partner?

Young? If hitting the big 4-0 this year is young then I’m good with that. Kissed a girl, lots when I was younger but now I stick to women. As for a partner, I have no “type” other than tall, slim(ish), and as equally if not more intelligent than myself, it has been my downfall most of my life but I like the challenge an edgy, feisty woman brings to a relationship. Can’t do the norm, been riding this roller-coaster most my life and I’m not getting off.

4. You told us about your very personal brush with the boys in blue. What was the end of that story? Did your employers mind or did they take it in good humour? When drunk do you no longer converse with the local constabulary?


My relationship with the “Boys in Blue” is in the norm a good one, first name terms in fact. I think it’s a tough profession and like us all they have good days and bad days, they are human (well some of them!) What they might see as high jinx one day, they might consider it drunk and disorderly the next, free bed and breakfast [wink].
I work in the construction industry where stories such as the one I’ve told you are positively encouraged….I work away from home alot and when you have the chance to catch up with friends, it’s usually on a weekend, copious amounts of Jaeger-bombs (and Suicide-bombs, a jaeger-bomb with a shot of tequila in) are involved, the combination of alcohol and Red-Bull (other energy drinks are available…) get me into that great state of drunk AND hyper-active!!

5. Who is most famous person you’ve ever met.

To actually talk to, the most famous person is Sir Alan Shearer at York Railway station, England. As an amateur footballer (soccer), I played the same position as Sir Alan, he’s a true football legend to me and he said to “play hard, play fair but play to win”. You can guess how much of a hero he is to me as he’s not even been knighted (yet) so is not officially a “Sir” but in football terms he will always be Sir Alan Shearer.

We didn’t know that Sir Alan Shearer wasn’t knighted yet, but he definitely deserved it – pretty much as yourself, Kev. Thank you.
