May 1st, 2009Hats by Tyrone Barfield
April 15th, 2009TYRONE BARFIELD represents the path less traveled in head wear. Preferring to craft his pieces by hand, Mr. BARFIELD’s caps have the kind of bespoke tailoring you would expect to find in a $2,500.00 suit. The BARFIELD line of head wear has included snap-backs, leather adjustables, apple jacks and our personal fixation - fitted baseball caps. The appeal of the BARFIELD goes beyond its superior construction and attention to detail. It’s the unexpected selection of fabrics and leather that give it the trademark look. Without mistake, you will recognize an BARFIELD original from 60 paces. With severely limited number runs, don’t expect to find these caps at your local street wear boutiques. www.strictlyfitteds.com Available @ Vinnies
BWood X Vinnie’s Alumni Tee
April 14th, 2009The artwork for A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders is like the “Impeach the President” of album covers: bitten sampled a million times over. The latest interpretation comes from NYC-based artist/designer Brian Wood, who collaborated with Brooklyn boutique Vinnie’s Styles on a limited-edition T-shirt that pays homage to the greatest ’90s MCs. The usual suspects—Nas, Jigga, Pun, ‘Pac, etc.—are all here, but special props to Mr. Wood for including Sadat X in the mix. Also, unlike some of those janky hip-hop illustrations you might see at your local barbershop, the rappers on the shirt actually resemble their real-life counterparts. Word is bond.
