Posted on November 4, 2014December 10, 2014 by bythelevel

LA based CLSC continue to develop their ever expanding collection as they present a new batch of goods ready for Winter 2014.

Once again enlisting the services of photographer Evy Optics, CLSC head to the picturesque Sequoia National Forest to showcase the range against the natural backdrop. As with previous releases they continue to incorporate athletic themes mixed in with street ready styles, using bold graphics and premium cuts. Wardrobe staples including long and short sleeved graphic tees, hoodies and sweaters sit alongside the brands first ever cut and sew range that features baseball jerseys, french terry bottoms and the stand out satin coach jacket (seen above).

It’s great to see CLSC making waves here in the UK and getting the recognition it deserves. Bringing it’s own approach to sportswear inspired design, with a lighthearted approach and commitment to quality and innovation, we are looking forward to see how the brand develops.

Quiet Life x Katsuo ‘Jump On It’ Capsule Collection

Posted on November 4, 2014December 10, 2014 by bythelevel

The Quiet Life present the latest from their ongoing collaborative instalments as they team up with Japanese illustrator Yusuke of Katsuo design.

Taking cues from 60′s pop art, Yusuke applies his illustrative artwork to a 19-piece range that includes woven shirts, tees, long sleeves and pull-over hoodies, as well as a selection of headwear and socks. The release will sit inside the second delivery of the Quiet Life’s second drop from Autumn/Winter 2014 and arrives in a seasonal palette of greys, tans, blacks and whites. We are big fans of the curvaceous character designs and light hearted type that accompanies it. It definitely brings something new and exciting from the brand, sitting well against the mainline collection. Our top picks include the embroidered pocket tees and 6-panel, with the all over print shirts catching our eye too!

The lookbook below, shot by the brands founder Andy Mueller, takes us around Yusuke’s work space, giving us a closer look at the man behind the collection.

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…”

The Hundreds x Grizzly Griptape Capsule Collection will be available in the UK from November at the following stockist;
