So sick. I want it. Plus they are limited to 150 hats. Each numbered: 33/150, 45/150 etc... you get the idea, sick.

Kinetics x Columbia Faraday jacket

Well, shit. Now that winter is over in So Cal, I really don't have a need for jacket like this. (it's been 80+ outside for the last few days) But, if I lived somewhere's else, I would rock the shit out this. I'm really digging the purple lately, and the multi-colored highlights are sick. Good work from Kinetics and Columbia.

Hern wins unholy sheep shit

Hern wins!!! What a fun race, it was 15 mile course through Elysian park and Griffith park ending at black metal polo game. There were 4 checkpoints (actually 5, but some dick ripped one down) each checkpoint had a piece of orange paper with a Chrome Aces playing card glued to it. You had to stop and write down the the number and suit of the card before moving on. I.E. 2 of hearts.
Hern won... as per usual. Good work homie!!! Myself? I got DFL, I had a equipment malfunction and came in last. Sad. Look for a review in the future...

Franks chop shop: Blackout blade

I love the Chop Shop, all of their hats are pretty dope. The Blackout blade is not one to sleep on. Sticking with their signature razor blade, and blacking it out, the updated version comes with a mini 151 chop shop blade chain in metal. Dope.
You cop it at selected accounts in june.

BAPE Messenger bags...

I really don't know what to say about this one... BAPE getting into the game is very interesting. I would probably rock one, (Nigo? You got a guy here willing to test these out for real) I just assume that the pricepoint on these bags will be crazy and you'll only see these bags out on a very sunny day every once and while. I would keep this on ice, if I owned one and just bring it out for those days when you want to rock a heater...

Swatch artist series watches

Alright this is for my homegirl Sage up in alaska. She loves Swatch watches, and will never pass a good ebay deal for a pack of these things. I never rock a watch but I understand the love for Swatch, it brings back good childhood memories, (parker louis can't lose, rocking like four of them at once) they look good and are a conversation piece.

So Sage, get these Swatch watches from Gary Card, David Benedek and Carrie Munden.
They are exclusively available at colette until February 15th.
