    Shout out to my boy @CheesePolitics for connecting the dots with the printing resource- now I’m one step away from completion.  Mark your calendar- the official release date for the tees is Monday, April 2nd (12p PST).

    Yessir!

     

  2. lorenzodiggins:

    Here’s the first sample!!!  I guess it’s obvious on which design I decided to go with after all.  These should be available sometime next month.  Thanks again for all of your support!

    Oh and by the way…they are designed, made, and hand-printed in the USA!

    Looking good brother!

    A few weeks ago my buddy, and amazingly talented artist (of many genres) Maceo Paisley, asked me to participate in a new interview series he was conducting for his site Citizens of Culture.  Since we are friends and have collaborated a few times on different projects, what I expected to be a formal interview was more of conversation, and at some point I forgot I was being recorded.  We touched on many topics from my designs influences to my thoughts as a consumer- he even gave me some pointers as a new photographer.  All in all, it was a great experience.

    Thanks again Maceo for the consideration and for the awesome photos.

    I would like to ask one favor and one favor only from all of you…PLEASE may you repost/reblog these pictures of The Essential Cap (Snapback) along with a link to my shop?

    I really appreciate your time, and thank you in advance for your support. The best has yet to come.

    The Essential Cap live from Japan.

    lorenzodiggins:

    This really made me smile!  Manabu posted some pictures of his lovely wife Keiko wearing The Essential Cap in Japan on his blog.  I love how she effortlessly makes it look so cool and feminine.  Thank you for the support you two!

    Today I went home from work with what I considered to be a “killer headache”.  Upon my arrival (and to my surprise) was a big package addressed allllllllllll the way from Japan patiently waiting to cheer me up- in which it did (all of a sudden I became numb to my “killer headache”).  Inside the box was the beautifully packaged “Waxed Rucksack” from Southern Field Industries that I blogged about a few days ago.  Don’t worry, I will be providing more information (with BETTER pictures) on this bag soon.  But until then, allow me to enjoy the fact that as of now, I’m the only one in the USA with this one.  #ThankYouSweatBabyJesus
