HUF x Black Scale

 

Two of the UK’s finest street wear imports – HUF and Black Scale have come together on a collaborative capsule collection for Holiday 2014, inspired by one of mans greatest vices – gambling.

The West Coast heavyweights combine their easily identifiable aesthetics and shapes to offer up this dark collection consisting of co-branded t-shirts, hoodies, a coach jacket, headwear options, as well as accessories in socks and custom playing cards. The macabre themes that have become synonymous with Black Scales designs are reworked into playing card style graphics that are applied as back prints, while Pentagram logos have been embroidered onto snapbacks, beanies and coach jackets. The super limited collection arrives in a fairly monochrome colour palette with pops of red in the detailing.

To coincide with the release the pair organized an invite only event poker tournament earlier this month with a cash prize of $5000. You can see how the nights events unfolded in the video below.

The HUF x Black Scale Capsule Collection will be arriving in UK stores this week. You can pick your favourite piece up in-store at Chimp.

Black Scale x Pimp C illustrated look book by 5Pointz

 

In celebration of Black Scale’s collaboration with the estate of Hip Hop legend Pimp C, Bristol’s 5Pointz call on the talents of Detroit based illustrator Zach Thompson A.K.A Vizualzmt to create a set of images using his rough, sketchy style to reincarnate the artist wearing key pieces from the release.

The concise collection features a selection of short and long sleeved graphic based tees, as well as 2 caps paying homage to the late rapper. The designs rework classic Black Scale logos such as the Black Flag and incorporate themes associated with the rapper, from the famous polystyrene cup and ‘purple drank’, to ‘RIP Pimp C’ motifs and artwork of the man himself.

The Black Scale X PIMP C collection will be available from 5Pointz by the end of this week!
