HUF x Black Scale

Posted on December 3, 2014December 17, 2014 by bythelevel

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.

The National Skateboard Co. and Sweden’s Post Details have announced an exciting collaborative effort for Holiday 2014.

There is some history behind this one. With Post’s founder Danjiel Stankovic riding for TNSC and Neil Smith recently announced as Post Details latest family member, they definitely aren’t strangers to one another. With both brands holding similair values and both deeply rooted in skateboarding, its great to see the two come together on a collection

The limited release continues the brands minimal approach, scaling back on the graphics throughout. A stamp inspired design is applied as back prints to tees, with similar graphics used on the accompanying decks. The heavyweight cotton coach jackets and small run of corduroy caps and knitted beanies feature embroidered dual branded logos, while the standout long sleeved polo features subtle labelling.

Colours are kept simple for this collection, using white and grey as a base, with rich navy and deep burgundy treatments giving it that seasonal feel. Each piece features high levels of detailing and the construction is second to none, utilising thick fabrics for the colder months.

The Hundreds x Grizzly Griptape Capsule Collection

Posted on October 27, 2014December 2, 2014 by bythelevel

The Hundreds and Grizzly Griptape lift the lid on a capsule collection born out of friendship, appreciation and respect.

There’s a rich history between the two brands, with Scotty Litel of The Hundreds hailing Grizzly’s Sean and Torey as two huge influences behind the brands growth over the years. The collection is a fitting celebration of the brands unity, featuring a range of heavy graphic tees, hoodies and sweaters combining the two brands aesthetics.

Scotty Litel had this to say on the release;

“The basis of this collaboration is friendship. I’ve known both Sean and Torey for a long time and they’ve been a big part of our growth at The Hundreds. Sean helped us move into Rosewood when it was our office. Torey, I’ve known and skated with since we were kids. We’ve all watched each other grow. It was just about finding the right opportunity and the right time, and it happened organically. I think this collab is a good representation of both our brand’s stories and aesthetic. Born out of friendship, appreciation, and respect…”
