My homie Raj @ mehrathon distribution just launched this new project, The Ko-op a collective of like minded individuals who are all influenced by Skateboarding, Art, Music, and Clothing. Co-acting as one, The Ko-op executes various projects to cultivate and stimulate today’s pop culture.

This first set of collabs is with LA based hat company, Quintin and 8 Canadian retailers including Montreal’s own, Off The Hook.

Other retailers include, Complex (van), Norml (ott), GroupSeven (cal), Tiki Room (sask), Flatspot (to) and more.

I need one of these Montreal Royals Joints.

Its brick outside (brick being relative considering its not minus 40 yet) but now is definitely the time to pull out the super thick woven and put away the summer tees. Alpha# is very much on top of that market with some of the warmer button ups around. But my favorite thing about this woven is the button placement. Look closely.

Button 2 & 3 are closer together than any other buttons. This is to give you that breathing room of not having all buttons done up, without having your Saturday Night Fever chest poof exposed. (dirty)

Cop yours here

Oakley once invited me to their ‘O’ bus and I learned that my dior shades weren’t shit.

They tested about 20 pairs that day again high velocity & high force impacts and more tests about lens quality.

from then on i’ve been hooked i really notice the difference that comes from wearing other shades. My eyes kill after about a half hour.

That being said, I’ve been a frogskin head since. Take a trip this weekend and grab a pair for your lady friend.

Was cleaning up the crib yesterday and found a stack of these. For those of you bandwagon jumpers (you know who you are) Check the date at the top of this issue. Try and tell me you’ve been a fan since ‘95.

Thought so.

How many of you would lose your johnson over twitter?

Can’t wait for next summer
