Chasing Rainbows
With a tagline like “Ethereal wardrobe pieces for the futuristic Zulu Princess” you know the pieces from Chasing Rainbows aren’t going to be boring. Hand crafted by two lovely and talented sisters all these pieces make a statement. It seems to me somehow a mix of sci-fi, Native American, and maybe a little Mad Max thrown in – but strangely, maybe miraculously, it all seems to work really well.
I think their pieces would perfect for the photo stylings of Brandon Harman so I’m going to have to figure out how to get them together.
At any rate, if you have a zulu princess in your life, or maybe if you want one, check them out.
Feltraiger
I’ve been checking out the wares of the awfully nice brothers over at Feltraiger lately. While I think they’ve had good traction with that T – gotta love it’s called “California Girls” – I really like the shirts, the White LAX in particular. I like the simple straightforward things they are doing and am looking forward to seeing more.
Outlier
A while back I posted about Outlier and our plans to check them out. We got our hands on some a while back and have been putting them through the paces. In the photos above, Jedd took his 4Season OG’s to Belize and snapped a few action shots. As suspected they are perfect travel pants, easy to wear day/night, dry super quick, resist dirt – transitioning from boat, to beach, to hike, to chilling on a dock w/ a beer is a lot of work for a pair of pants!
For me, I gravitated to the Keirin’s, I have a hard time getting a way from the 5 pocket pant so these were an easy transition for me. They were the only pants I took to SXSW this year so they endured 4 days of show after show, beer spilled – in some cases poured – on them, the OFWGKTA pit, the nightly 4 mile walk back to the airstream we were staying in, all in all pretty much the most brutal test possible. And this was after a straight 15 days of wear in Denver biking all over town.
Long story short, for my upcoming trip to Sayulita Mexico, the only pants I’m taking? The Outlier Keirin.
Oh – and those wondering about how they compare to Nonetheless from my first post, more on that soon – short answer is they aren’t similar things at all – and that’s not a bad thing.

Loki Longboards
Using castoffs from their Young & Norgate furniture line, the guys at Loki Longboards make some awfully pretty longboards. I know some of you out there don’t quite get the longboard, but man, sure is nice for a mellow evening roll across town. That carving feeling and actually being able to go places sure is nice. That Sideboard in small is right up my alley.
