Four stars * * * *

Spring is here! J/K Actually it started way back in March. If you haven't noticed, the weather here in San Francisco can jump from Summer to Winter within 24 hours so we can't really tell. It's weird out here. We'll be walking in the sun with shorts enjoying ourselves and then the following day, you'll catch us wearing 3 layers and getting blown away by the cold wind. So all 4 seasons is just the same to us. We just get more sunlight during summer.

Alright so who's been holding it down for Spring?

Five Four clothing with this "Summit" Jacket. The details are incredible. They also have these in white and black. Four stars * * * *


Hellz bellz with this lightweight nylon jacket... "vicious bellz". Really subtle with tonal blue and white. Four stars * * * *
10 Deep worked really hard developing this waterproof "Sub Rosa" nylon jacket. Bold move adding that checkerboard. Four stars * * * *

Harajuku Lovers with the "Badana cap" button shirt. A simple piece but well executed if you look at it close-up. Inspired by police uniform? Could have used a better color but still earns Four stars * * * *

Supreme Being with this pinstripe black hooded jamma. A hint of blue makes it really interesting. Four stars * * * *

Well that's all for today folks. The great thing about these pieces is that it's not so heavily promoted by the company name. We seriously hate that. Putting more focus on the detail and concept are always important. As for colors, Harajuku Lovers and 10 Deep uses plenty in their designs but managed to be very sensitive in their creative process. Keeping it interesting without being so loud.


AND...

An Arkansas woman is pregnant with her 18th child. WOW! Most women couldn't even imagine giving birth to more than 3 kids. Well congrats again & may the next one be as healthy.
