FFLIP THE SCRIPT

Today as I was making my rounds, I stopped by my friends store ESP.
ESP mainly carries their own brand called FLIP THE SCRIPT.
These guys have been around the street wear scene for over 12 years.
I remember seeing these guys in the street wear mags in Japan back in the 90's.
It's good to see that they are now expanding to America, and their first store is in Los Angeles, Downtown.

Photobucket
Right on the corner of Broadway and Olympic

Photobucket
The interior is super slick. You can see the collaboration shirt we did with them on the left mannequin.

Photobucket
clean!

Photobucket
Jeans for dayz.

Photobucket

Photobucket
select watches and accessories.

Photobucket
The two people responsible for the Los Angeles Flagship store. Mie-san and Kawabe-san.

They are having their grand opening on April 15th!

Having a hard time trying to quit smoking?

well try this. it worked for me.

My friend Robert just came back from his Southeast Asia tour and brought back some cigarettes for me. At first glance I was like "o thanks man", and then I realized what was on the cover of these cigarette packs: they were aftermath pictures of cigarette lead cancers (like holes in necks, black lungs, melted lips,etc) . Made me drop my habit in one second, not to mention my appetite.

Photobucket
Imagine these cigarettes in the states. I believe at least 30% of the smokers would quit. But as long as the cigarette companies continue to feed the US government, that'll never happen.

On a lighter note: Our Sprummer line just dropped at digitalgravel.com
Photobucket
the inner lining of our hats.

have a good weekend!
