From the LEGENDARY mind of artist & cartoonist Steve Nazar -- the guy who literally re-invented "graphic tees" in the 1980's when he brought to life the iconic "Thrilla Gorilla" and "Da' Boys" characters for Town & Country (T&C) Surf -- comes an all-new collaboration with Gecko Hawaii for our Artist Series! 

We are stoked to bring you tee #2 in a series of 6 of a brand-new, motley crew of wild party animals that instantly generate that "nostalgic, 1980's neon, throwback skate/surf" feeling of pure awesomeness that you've been longing for -- with a new gang of neon icons for a whole new generation!

Anybody who grew up in the 1980's either wore (or wanted to wear) a tee with Nazar characters on them, or rented the T&C video game that featured the "Thrilla" characters for their original Nintendo Entertainment System!

For those of you who have been missing the nostalgic, laid back, party/skate/surf vibe of Nazar's artwork -- and have been buying old vintage versions on eBay in order to see it again in all of it's original & amazing neon & lightly puffed ink glory -- the WAIT IS FINALLY OVER -- And GECKO is proud to be the one that does it!

Please note, in general, the cost of our tees are not going up -- these Gecko X Collaboration tees cost more than normal to print, as we used a special, 18 station print/flash retro printing machine to make it as authentic as possible, which costs slightly more to create -- plus we want to be able to support the artists who participate in the Artist series.

 Gecko HYPERFLASH is a homage and retro flashback to the magical "thermochromatic" color-changing apparel of the early 1990's.

HYPERFLASH SIZING:

How To Choose Your Fit & Size

For HYPERFLASH ThermoChromatic Tees

Gecko HyperFLASH tees/tanks are made from 100% Organic Cotton. They are a unisex tee and they do shrink about 5%. We recommend that women and fit/slim men get actual size. For men who like a little more room in their tee, we recommend sizing up one size. 

The sizing of these are slightly different than our normal tees, because with the Thermochromatic dyes, they go through a washing process -- which eliminates 95% of shrinkage prior to purchase. 

Gecko Hawaii HYPERFLASH shirts are heat activated and change color around 80 degrees, which gives it a super rare, "living, breathing, tie dye" feeling. Think of it as "the mood ring" of t-shirts -- but WAAAAAY cooler!

Thermochromatic technology has improved dramatically since the 1990's, but most apparel companies don't make it, because they are afraid to take risks, and it is REALLY expensive to make. However, our fans kept asking since our relaunch, so we are making it happen again!

Great Glow and UV Reaction

First Gecko Hawaii shirt and loved it. We went to a spring break themed glow party and this was perfect for it. The puff paint glows very strong in the dark and with UV light. The shirt itself reacts to UV light as well, but looks like a solid blue color.

My only negatives are probably due to not having experience with the sizing yet. I'm often between a small and medium and should have listened to my gut, but didn't have time to return and didn't want to risk it being too small. For reference, I'm 5' 10" and about 175lbs, slim to athletic build.

In the picture it looks fine, but I'm having to front tuck it and is before wearing it for more than a few minutes. It feels at least a few inches too long for me and while a bit blurry you can see how far down the design on the back looks, which IMO is the one thing that isn't size related. It just starts so far down and gets bunched up so it's hard to see it all. After wearing it, it loosens up further and just overall feels a bit more baggy than I prefer.

All this to say that I love the shirt, but as someone that struggles between sizes, I'd recommend anyone in a similar situation to get a small. I have had multiple times where smalls were too small with some purchases recently, but this is much more traditional, relaxed sizing. If you like a slim more athletic fit, go with the smaller size.

I ordered a couple more shirts and a hoodie all in small so looking forward to it.
