TWINS ENTERPRISE has been steadily turning up the heat a notch with their latest fitted baseball caps. It’s evident that TE has been pulling from a variety of influences. Here is a preview of a recently approved style that will be soon appearing on store shelves. The DRAPED UP fitted baseball cap features a White crown with Wheat striped stitching in different directions appearing on each individual panel. The MLB team text logo appears in an oversized script on the rear. The MLB team logos are Brown material with raised wheat stitched outlines creating a unique look. The HUSTON ASTROS are represented in this production sample, but your favorite team also will be available in this style.

“RODENT RUMBLE”
NEW ERA SOUL CAPTURE

Filed under: Custom Corner — failurephobic at 3:38 pm on Thursday, August 30, 2007

rodentrumble2.jpg

You are looking at a customized NEW ERA SOUL CAPTURE fitted cap done by “the artist known as Bill” (Who doesn’t respond to emails.) This is an early prototype design of an officially issued NEW ERA 59Fifty cap. The codeword for this piece was “RODENT RUMBLE”, but has since been changed to an undisclosed title. The fitted features two of N.Y.C.’s most notorious citizens. We’ve all witnessed the Pidgeon fever, now make room for the Dirty Rat and the Cockroach. This is a one of one custom that now is on display at the New York NEW ERA FLAGSHIP STORE. Extra detail was put into the presentation burnt in logo hits all around the wooden case and stained finish.

Please do not crowd our inbox with offers of ridiculous amounts of money. This piece allready has an owner. Anxious much?! The final production version of this piece is expected to launch within the first quarter of 2008, and will be exclusively sold at all NEW ERA FLAGSHIP STORE locations. Till then - hurry and wait.

ABOVE THE BRIM … with BOBBITO GARCIA

Filed under: Interviews — Honcho at 6:29 pm on Wednesday, August 29, 2007

coolboblove_image.jpg

BOBBITO GARCIA is a cultural ambassador. This was the most appropriate title I could pen for a man of his diverse passions and accomplishments. Bobbito The Barber aka Make It Happen aka Boogie Bob aka Kool Bob Love, aka Soul Food Bob aka Bag of Tricks has held as many roles as he has monikers.

Long before your favorite Producer/Rapper was popping’ tags off of LV bags and sipping overpriced grape juice, Bobbito was in the mix of some of the most historical moments of Hip Hop and Sports. As co-host to the now legendary STRETCH AND BOBBITO Show (WKCR 89.9 FM), he introduced countless unsigned talent that would later go on to become music icons. The short list includes NASTY NAS, BIG-L, JAY-Z, BIG PUNISHER, and THE WU-TANG CLAN.

A New York native, Bobbito is an renowned streetballer, DJ, Radio host, writer, (VIBE), Executive Producer (FONDLE’EM RECORDS), ROCK STEADY CREW member, kicks connoisseur, Master of Ceremony, Shop Proprietor (FOOTWORK), Editor (BOUNCE MAGAZINE) and feature film actor.

Kool Bob Love gave STRICTLY FITTEDS a hot minute to discuss his perspective on the roots and phenomena of the fitted cap culture. Peep his insight and “HEED THE WORD OF THE BROTHER”.
