Holden Holding it Down

Last year I copped the Burnside for mad cheap.  I love the jacket.  The details blow any sub $200 Burton jacket out of the water.  I had the 2 in 1 Burton and did a comparisson to the Holden and it was no competition.  Holden’s quality is top notch.

Holden’s new season looks really strong.  There are two particular pieces that look great.  I am really looking forward to whatever else comes out from Holden.

My favorite jacket has to be the Brighton piece.  Since I am in sunny SoCal there really isn’t even a need for a jacket on most days.  I go up with a tee, and have a Supreme Box hoody in my backpack 50% of the time.

However, I really want to pick this jacket up because Holden is definitely not just for the slopes.  They don’t have the super baggy fit like most snow gear.  And even if it’s just the movies it is good to know your jacket has all the nice accouterments for a blizzard.

The other pieces are all good, but the Brighton is my stand out-favorite.  I also have a special spot for the last jacket in this post; just not enough to write more about it.

On two the second pick.  The Flynn is fire in my opinion, it is a woman’s jacket but it is all-so tactical steezy.  Was considering copping in a larger size, but the Birghton looks too dope.  I’ll probably still try it out.

And the rest:

Supreme Highs and Lows

Whoa, Supreme is on point for Fall/Winter 2008-09.  Some legit hits, I guess the hiatus from Noah allowed Brandon and the dudes to finally come correct.

Supreme Outerwear is always their strong suit.  And this season is pure fire.  The Varsity Jacket is super vintage steezy.  The Chore jacket has that old school mechanic’s vibe.  And OMFG BBW GGNORE on that red Cruiser jacket.  That just screams, “I winter in Montauk!!!”

It totally seems Supreme is taking notes from Filson and LL Bean this season.  It’s hard to see a line come with so many hits, but Supreme is doing it this season.  I am on the fence for the Mountain Parka.  I thought the colors for the Wilderness Parka was better last season, and maybe the Mountain Parka should have been a pass for this current line, but whatevers.  It’s a 2 hundy jacket that the high schoolers will likely use their Christmas money for.

Jo Dome – The Olympain Beannies better come with a pipe cause they are straight cracka-cracka-cracka.  I personally love the 2nd from the left, but all of them will look dope with a Faded Glory Flannel from Walmart, and some dirty ass 1947s.

Also really feeling the flannel 5 panel with the ear flaps.  Definitely a hot piece for the season.  Not too loud like most of the recent 5 panels, and something I can wear to the grove without baby High Schoolers doing the double take; “is that old dude rockin’ ‘preme?”

Even Supreme has it’s lows; not much, but there are still some articles I would not rock.

#1 HATE (Monday Morning, got the squirts, stuck in traffic and AM 1070 just reported an accident on the 405) – Everlast Boxing Gloves.  This is probably the professionals that cost about $100, expect Supreme to mark them up $30.  Price is fair, but I can just see the number of dudes buying these to hang.  It just irks me that Supreme makes things for poseurs and pussies.  I would cop for sure it they were made by Reyes or Top Ten.  How steezy would it be if Top Ten made a blue glove with Supreme blasted across?  I digress.  Everlast is well known and well established, and Supreme knows that this is a novelty.  I just wish Supreme would quit with this shit.  Stick with Murakami decks, better yet get McGill to do a Supreme Skull.

#2 HATE (White Kids that “love” Obama) – Backpack.  I know it’s a Jansport jumpoff, and I also know Supreme has been doing this shit for years, but really?  That close of a rip.  These are carbon copies of the Jansport.  I don’t need to pay 3 times more for it to say Supreme.

#3 Hate (Fake movie butter popcorn) – Everything else.  The flannels are terrible quality for the price.  One hundy for something slightly better then Walmart?  Get the fuck out of here.  Another Field Jacket?  Looks good, but you couldn’t think of something better.  Corded parka is plain weak.  And Radar beanies are for fags who think they know.
