“…my chain hits my chest when I’m banging on the dashboard…”

Video: M.I.A – Bad Girls
The director Romain Gavras is one of my favorite directors. The visuals he puts together are amazing. Check out more of his work here.

GRAYS.

Dope picture. So New York. The famous Gray’s Papaya.

Not sure when the picture was shot. I’m assuming it was before President Obama got in office due to the sign on the front. Picture lifted off Dov Charney’s page. I love their slogans, so classic.

THE DEALERS.

As the brand has grown over the years, we have been very tight with our brand distribution. We refused to go retail and turned down several stores that were interested in carrying the brand. We sold exclusively via our online and mobile shops. With the growth of the brand, we’ve had many more folks become a part of our family worldwide. Late last year, we decided to open up the brand to some select retail spots in an effort to make the brand a little more accessible. It wasn’t something that we needed to do, more so something that we wanted to do and felt was right for us at this point in the brand’s growth. With that in mind, we started to reach out to select spots where we would like our brand to be carried. We are taking our time with choosing these select spots. We don’t care to be everywhere, just in the places we really like and support what we’re about.

Here are the first 5 spots where the brand is now being carried. You can also see their information on our new STOCKISTS page.

AMERICANA.

Scrills — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:04:12 +0000

As our brand continues to grow, one of the big plans for our future is to produce cut & sew items. Cut & Sew is a different beast than printed apparel and it’s been the downfall of many brands who weren’t prepared for the associated issues that come with that next level of production. There’s no rush for us. We’re taking our time to make sure when we get there, it’s done right and to the greatest quality we can produce. One thing though that constantly comes to mind when I think of our future in cut & sew is figuring out how to produce items locally. With most production being done in China and overseas, it’s tough to make stuff locally nowadays and most people feel the costs are too high which in turn leads to higher prices to the customer. With the rising costs of production in China, it will be interesting to see how things develop. The shift will probably move to other countries where production can be done cheaply and so on.

For us, trying to produce locally is something we are researching and working on. We are not against overseas production. To be honest, it’s good business and we understand that but for us, we feel it’s important to keep production domestic when possible. Who knows, maybe we might end up producing overseas but that will be our last option after we have weighed the costs and issues of producing domestically. I saw the video below and it’s pretty much what inspired this post. The Martin Greenfield factory in Brooklyn is an inspiration to us all. Enjoy the video and continue to stay tuned to our growth to see how things develop with our future in cut & sew. The brand’s future is bright.

IN CHARGE.

Scrills — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:28:55 +0000

Polariod picture I took of a Hanksy piece down in the Lower East Side, NYC.

The text on his shirt reads “Laugh now but one day we’ll be in charge”. A message that you can tell anybody that’s doubting your vision.
