We are pleased to announce the arrival of the Incase collaboration with HunterGatherer and Curated by Arkitip. 

From the Incase website:
“Founded in 2000 by Todd St. John, HunterGatherer is an award-winning design, illustration, animation and production studio in New York City. It has earned international recognition for its spare but inventive projects, often combining experimental and hand-built techniques with more complex methods. Since its inception, HunterGatherer has stayed decidedly small, focusing on a limited number of assignments across a wide range of mediums. The HunterGatherer products for Curated by Arkitip add to the studio’s body of work, which include a number of animation projects for clients such as Nike, VH1 and The New York Times T: Magazine, as well as ongoing work for New York City’s green initiative, GreeNYC”

We received iPhone cases and notebook sleeves featuring  the signature woodgrain-inspired pattern created by St. John and Gary Benzel used on other projects…

iPhone slider case; $49.95

15″ Notebook sleeve; $59.95

We only have a limited number of pieces so don’t wait too long!

We were excited to learn that Engineered Garments designer Daiki Suzuki‘s younger brother, Takuji, also has his own clothing line! 

ts(s) ,Originally created in 1999 (under the name TS), has been a hit in Japan and now has created a buzz stateside.

The look is very similar to EG; yet, has more of a slimmer, more fashion-y fit. Check out the article on hypebeast.com

Currently it’s still Japan-only; however, with its growing popularity you may see it in an American boutique sooner than you think!

Portland based Coal started in an apartment 6 years ago with the belief that headwear was more than accessory; yet, rather an extension of the wearer.

Being inspired by art, music, family,and friends (not to mention Apple computers and Carhartt jackets), what started out simply as a labor of love has grown into a successful company of hats and scarves using sturdy fabrics and creative design which lives up to their original mission: to create items as unique as the individual wearing them…

Lightning Bolt, created by Gerry Lopez and Jack Shipley has been synonomous with premier shortboards since 1972. Made in the USA, the clothing line which consists of tees, board shorts, and tanks also has had quite the history as well. Who can forget ( if you’re old enough to remember) rocking a Lighting Bolt tee in high school; with dreams of becoming an expert surfer (or just looking like one to impress the girls).

We are proud to announce that the brand has chosen ian to relaunch  their clothing line exclusively in Seattle!
Several of the tees have arrived yesterday; as well as a couple board shorts and they look even better up close! It’s awesome that they used the original logos; and,they really did a great job recreating that wonderful ”washed out” feel that will truly take you back…

Lightning Bolt Logo tees; all $39

Board short in Light Blue and Faded Black; $69

Get in touch with your inner Spicoli and check these items out!  They’re a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe!!!
