Via: highsnobietyWhen it comes to West Coast streetwear labels, Freshjive are definitely one of the labels that will be mentioned. Recently, the well-established label has decided to take a complete left turn and continue on un-branded. This holiday season, Freshjive brings a collection of cut-and-sew products that have more of a mature look than past collections with pieces like long jackets, solid and simple button-ups, and denim. The collection will soon be available at your local Freshjive retailers as well as the Freshjive store and their webstore. For this view into the collection was made possible with the help of photographer Jiro Schneder. For more photos, check after the jump... DREW's Note: The collection definitely evolved from what Freshjive is usually known for. This evolution into a more mature look just shows not only how the designers are maturing but the label itself. Freshjive has been out since 1989, it was bound to evolve and grow. I'm diggin' the collection, Freshjive.
Via: hypebeastAtlanta-based retailer Wish links up with nostalgia specialist Mitchell & Ness for a collaborative project that is focusing on the history of Wish and the grounds it's built on. With a Black/White colorway, many of the varsity patches and details on the jacket all has a meaning. Wish was built on the foundation that once was the foundation of Atlanta's first Carnegie library, hence the "Do Your Research" text on the right part of the chest. The "W" AND "06" varsity represent Wish and the year the store opened up while the "447" on the left sleeve is the address and the four trophies on the left pocket represent the year's they been active. The limited edition jacket is now available at Wish and their webstore. DREW's Note: I love varsity patches. Varsity patches definitely gives me a feeling of life during the 50s when everyone would rock their letters on jackets, sweaters, and cardigans. This jacket is dope and the design is a definitely blueprint of how a varsity jacket should look like.
