(SPOT.ph) Remember that one reliable kumot in your house? You know what we're talking about—the white one with thin and thick stripes either in orange or green, but mostly blue or pink with ornate flowers on them? It seems as if every Filipino—or Asian, we dare say—household has one. They're soft, comfy, and most of all, homier than any other blanket (at least that's what your Lola says). Now imagine these household faves as wearable pieces. Can't see it? Just look at these cool polos from your local streetwear brand Nobody Clothing.

Check out Nobody Clothing's cool shirts; here's where to pre-order them.

You may have spotted these shirts—but in pink, called Milagros and Mila—in the past few months. According to the store's website, they are cut from the Best Quality Sparrow-333 blankets, which are yes, exactly like the ones we grew up with. These will fit right at home in your bedroom, just make sure your house doesn't mistake them for bed linens!

This time around, the blue button-down shirts are named Marie and Marilou, and are available cropped and in regular length. They won't smell like your old blankets at home, but they'll remind you of the good old times when you used them.

The name comes from the woman who "pieces together the different panels that make up our shorts; constructs [our] tote bags, and sews garment tags onto [our] shirts" since 2017. Nobody Clothing has a selection of graphic tees, hoodies, as well as accessories that "expresses one's self, aspirations, and angsts."

They said in a post, "If you’ve bought anything from us in the past it’s likely that it passed through Ate Malou’s skilled hands. For several years she has helped us bridge the gap that exists between our ideas and tactile reality. It is our joy to finally name a garment after her." Check them out below:

According to an Instagram exchange, there's no final price for the Marie and Marilou blue tops yet so you'll have to keep your eyes peeled on April 27 at exactly 11:09 a.m. when it drops on the site. It's a web store exclusive so you'll want to mark your calendars and set your alarms to avoid missing it. The Milagros and Mila pink shirts will also open batch five pre-orders tomorrow, as per their Instagram stories.
