Update Re-cap!

Here´s a recap of the last wintery updates we made, in true Cali fashion, I made it in a Raiders theme:


So we, start off with the seasons must: Jackets!
1.Retro sport brand STARTER came in with the classic baseball jackets, wamfilled and with the correct look! 1499 sek/149E.
2.Another America Classic Company: CARHARTT has that authentic workwear styled heavy duty canvas jacket warmfilled and rugged! 1499 SEK/149E.
3.Last but not least is NIKE with another downjacket winner, Expedition jacket is black on black shiny outer shell with a very fluffy filled down insultation for the coldest winter days! 1899sek/189 E.


Next thing is the warming layer, go with a knit, sweatshirt or a shirt.
1.STUSSY, best in show with thoose striped classic sweaters, but here i picked out a hooded sweatshirt made in a merino wool blend!! 1799Sek/179E
2. CHEAP MONDAY, got some priceworthy clean wooly jumpers from 500Sek/50E.
3.LEVIS, SanFransisco based denim gigante still makes products true to their heritage. This denim selvaged shirt is from the limited vintage line LVC. Done up as an replica of the earliest modell. 1199Sek/119E.



Some use Tees as the first layer, I keep rocking them all year round, sometimes with an extra tee( and then use save some washing and avoid the wear and tear of that 50E Tee..)under for warmth. And with the fine arts and prints these should be shown to the world!
1. LosAngeles flippin brand EL LEGAL just came in to us with lots of Californistic prints. This one spinns the Raiders Pirate logo to a pimped out slick rick bad boy. 299Sek/29E
2.THE HUNDREDS, with only 5 years into this game, they made a big name still keeping the love to the select accounts worldwide. Maybe thats why this Adam the bomb logo still gets respect. Love the greyscale usage. 349Sek/34E
3. LEVIS, once again ok.. but with a collaboration with the worlds best payed alternative artist Damien Hirst this is something specials. I avoided to go with the most obvious paint or diamond sculls as this one is a bit newer with double exposured photo art. Still very Scullistic, still very Hirst. And still very Levis, true to the americana white tee classic! 599Sek/59E


For Denims, I choose our swedish denim fame Cheap Monday, also into their 5th year, still making classic and ill flipped denims at a low price level. Still only for select retailers.
the REGULAR BLACK LIGHT WASH is new for the winter. Using a thick black denim fabric then washing it to this perfect grey shade, the result is nice, dark and still thick denim to witner usage. Perfect sneaker fit. 400Sek/40E


Ok, for SNEAKERS, i go with high tops. Comfy as a sneaker but more weatherproof for the season.
1.SUPRA NS. Hollywood partyboi/skater/style connaiseur Chad Muska takes his signa modell to a rock-glam level in patent leather and studs. All black. 1799Sek/179E
2. NIKE SB. The dunk has been flipped to outrageous porpotions lately, so I like the confidence to release a basic one as this in all black and white in nice leathers. 999Sek/99E
3. NIKE SPORTSWEAR: QUICKSTRIKE. This limited dunk is from the latest release called "Sparks" and "Destroyers" pack. The fade is amzingly done and works from many angles. A premium dunk with extra air filled heel unit, and an inner insulation thats extra comfy and warm for the winter. 1499Sek/149E
4.VANS Syndicate. Ok, had to take a forth model into the mix, Vans is a heart felt brand for me, and this limited Syndicate release is something special. Oakland based Max Schaaf is a bike customizer that managed to take this japanese craze modell "Mount Edition" and re-create it to be an America classic hard ass vans style. Premium leathers, fire proof suede and workwear canvas in a tonal design makes this my personal choice. See the Oakland cranes in the logo? 1299Sek/129E







Finally, cant go outside these days without the proper HEADWEAR.
1.THE HUNDREDS keeps it Raidurrrs! The only question I have is: Will we ever see Arrab Parrot rocking this one? 299Sek/29E
2. ALIFE x KANGOL. Luxy and soft Merino wool in the beanie modell for the seaon: the pom-pom! 499Sek/49E
3.NewEra X 3M Reflecto. Done up in a wheatherproof nylon jacket materila, covered in a reflecto paint, this is secure mode for your drunknmunking-walkofshame in the dark early hours. 499Sek/49E
4. Cheap Monday Beanie and scarf. Do as the parisian fashion people for your basic needs, go all black. Beanie: 100Sek/10E Scarf 150Sek/15E
