Check Your Six – Weapons of Mass Distraction

Our friends over at Clothing Wire recently did a write up of our most recent Lookbook, ‘The Calm Before The Storm’.

Make sure you stop through, peruse the features, and of course…don’t let it be the last time you visit the site. Real recognize real.

Nima Fadavi. If you’re from the Bay Area, you better know the name. Spearheading the class of new generation producers, Nima has worked with Andre Nickatina, The Grouch, Del the Funky Homosapien, and Sunspot Jonz. He’s also hit the road and performed with world renowned heavy hitters Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, and Murs. Damn…this résumé looks better than Donald Trump’s. Swoop over to the site, check out some videos, free downloads, and anything else you can get your dirty little fingers on.

Earlier this week, most of our Fall/Winter release hit Karmaloop. New banner, new products, new season. Make sure to swing by and check things out, and if you’re in need of some back to school digs, need not worry, they got you covered.

Sometimes, once in a while, a musical performer infiltrates your iTunes library and just won’t leave. And sometimes, they like to wear the clothes that you make.

Andddd we’re back. Well, Check Your Six certainly hasn’t gone anywhere, but I have. Now I’m back…and it feels damn good.

Back to the great life of mixing the college life with the business lifestyle. It’s a fun balance, one that very few college students get to enjoy. Half of my time face deep in a textbook, the other half, face deep in the automatic processing booth at the post office. Jah bless America.

A few nights ago we made our way downtown to kick it with our boys Vince (@vin_e_smalls), Podge (@podgethin), and Nate (@mmmkowski). James and I pretended to fit in with our BMX and mountain bikes, but undoubtedly fit in perfectly with our beer vodka drinking abilities.

I love working late into the night. There’s something about being up after 99% of the world is asleep (disregarding time zones). I don’t know, it somehow sparks creativity in a natural, rebellious way. Maybe it doesn’t, I don’t know…it’s really late…

This is the start of our ‘Check Your Six Library’. We’ve started to put aside one of each shirt that we’ve ever printed. Someday, our library will be as big as LeBron in Cleveland. Oh wait…

Custom tags anyone??

Of course…they don’t put themselves in…

And some fun night camera activities. Last photo courtesy of our good friend Steve.

There’s certainly been a few changes around the site since we last blogged. By few changes I mean, like…a whole new website. Out with the old and in with the new, right? Along with a brand new website (we hope you like), we also finally released our Fall / Winter 2010 Collection, entitled ‘The Calm Before The Storm’. The lookbook was, as always, a lot of fun to be a part of. More than anything, it was a bunch of friends having a great time putting together something that would hopefully turn out. And if it didn’t, oh well, it’s bonding time in a liquor store. It did turn out though, right…Right…?!?

Sometimes when something amazing happens, everybody involved knows it, and everybody around wishes they were involved.

We’re gearing up for our photoshoot tomorrow. To do lists, running errands, and calling Bruegger’s Bagels to make sure they are open by six a.m. A day in the life…
