Rock Revival Men’s Jeans

Leave a comment

Rock Revival prides itself in producing jeans with an impeccable fit, while having premium quality denim. This company has been in business for 10 years and is based out of Los Angeles. These jeans are set far ahead of the pack because of their details such as flowing stitch lines, back pocket reverse fleur de lis (I don’t even know what this means, but it sounds legittt) and hardware which create a unique blend of rocker aesthetic. If you haven’t purchased a pair of these puppies before just know that they tend to run a little big. I’m a size 32, but in Rock Revival jeans I’ll get a pair of 30s. Below you’ll see favs from each style of jeans.

BOOT CUT

This here is the Tristan boot cut jeans. These jeans are awesome if you’re looking for a darker wash pair of pants. Best part is black goes well with almost everything.

The Dan boot cut jean is perfect if you’re looking for a medium colored wash. These jeans are great because they have a nice dark blue wash, but then fade to a lighter blue right at the knees.

Lastly, the Rogan boot cut jeans bring a faded blue wash to the table. Perfect if you’re looking for something not too dark and not too light.

STRAIGHT

The Erkal jeans are easily my favorite out of Rock Revival jeans. The mixture of the unique wash and the straight leg combine to form in my opinion the best pair of jeans.

Girls will definitly be staring at your butt in these bad boys!!!

The Argon jeans also rank up there with the Erkal jeans in my opinion. These are a bit more classy than other Rock Revival’s since the colors don’t fade at the knees. They also don’t have any flashy stitching on the back pockets.

 

If you want to unleash your true rock…and your roll, then you need to pick up a pair of these jeans!

Imaginary Foundation’s Classics

Leave a comment

The Imaginary Foundation wasn’t always known for their mind boggling, yet intellectual artwork presented in the form of clothing and accessories. They started as a group of people in Switzerland studying new ways of thinking and the power of the huma mind’s imagination. Now they are one of the top clothing brands pushing the imagination’s limits on what can possibly be thought of, all while leading the industry in their popularized sublimated clothing. Here we will take a look back at their original screen printed graphics that started it all for their apparel endeavors.

Infinite Tee

The Infinite Tee was one of IF’s first designs, featuring a black and white image of a man smoking a cigarette. His smoke gradually fades into a colorful image of galaxy/black hole in space.
Doorway Tee

Another original featuring a “doorway” with the “IF” logo on the door, opening to a grass field with trees at the end. All of which are lit up by the stars and planets in the sky.
Nostalgic Mood Tee

The Nostalgic Mood tee is a top-to-bottom screen printed image featuring the silhouette of a man sitting in a chair smoking a pipe (possibly on the moon judging by the color of the background he’s sitting on) with his smoke creating a scenery of stars as it rises. The sitting man’s silhouette is also filled with stars.
Gutter Tee
This Gutter Tee features a bright and colorfully detailed image of an astronaut sitting on the sidewalk in a “gutter”. Below the image reads, ” we are all in the gutter. But some of us are looking up at the stars.”
The Opening Tee

Here’s another “doorway” graphic, this time featuring a man opening a door into what appears to be an array of colorful digital imagery almost in the form of wireframe. Maybe the underlying message may be referring to the beginning of the future or the advancement in technology? I’ll let you decide.

DC Shoes Defies Convention

Leave a comment

DCSHOECO has shed light onto the culture of skateboarding since 1994 and is continuing to lead the pack as an extreme sports enthused company today. Originally established as a Skate company, DC SHOES revolutionized not only the sport itself, but also changed the way skateboarding footwear was designed forever. DC has now expanded into a multi-sport/lifestyle corporation with ties in the Snow/Ski industry as well as motor-sports. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the growing legacy of DC, and there’s no telling what ground breaking moves will be made in the years to come for the world-renowned brand.

To celebrate 20 years of success, DCSHOECO released DEFYCONVENTION \ 20 YEARS OF DC IN PHOTOGRAPHS, a limited edition book to commemorate the progression of the brand through a spread of photos curated by DC’s own action sports photographer, Michael Blabac. On top of the book release, DC has also created six different 20th Anniversary photo tees featuring the likes of day-one ambassador Danny Way, Travis Pastrana, Big Black, and Ken Block himself. Each tee uses a photo captured by Blabac during one of DC’s countless monumental moments over the years as a brand. I guess they thought Rob Dyrdek wasn’t necessary for this capsule, with him already currently having his own line through DC and all. Not to mention, the partial owner of the brand played a giant role in the progression of the brand during the 90′s and early 2000′s as a member of DC’s skateboarding team and continues to help push the limits within the skateboarding community. Take look at some pieces from the Dyrdek collection and be sure to also check out the DEFCON tees.
