Thats… If I see you rocking any of these items were cool right off the bat KID! Save you’re Cheese though… Looking crazy FRESH is never cheap, but always worth it! Also, IF I’m on your Christmas list please take note.

MT Rainier Design – This company is actually from Japan, and they design American steez garments made in the USA. Crazy. I know. Mt Rainier designs are intended for actual outdoor use, but retain that old school, and functional aesthetic that we Love so much. I’m glad they keep their designs classic, but updated, it looks good, real good. Mt Rainier uses a fabric called sixty-forty as its 60% cotton, and 40% nylon giving the garment a soft ruggedness that stands up against the elements. I’m Crazy feeling this brand right now, just about everything they release is butter. This Red/Tan Parka jump off here is BANANAS!!!! Get in now at: Unionmadegoods.com

RF x Chippewa – The RF stands for Ronnie Fieg. Ronnie cannot be touched in the shoe game. everything my man touches is just ILL. Ronnie doesn’t make his own shoes, but does countless colabos, and he’s always on point. Ronnie play close attention to detail, and makes sure he gets it right. Chippewa is an  American boot company known for their work boots. Quality materials , and  craftsmanship. Last winter RF and Chippewa did a colabo and the result was pure fire even Dialon couldnt wax! releasing one of my all time favorite shoes ever. So, this year they do it again. The new sangria joints had me wishing there really was a santa, and I REALLY WAS A GOOD BOY! KithNYC.com

Railcar Fine Goods – I must admit that there a few brands that I like to keep secret, just because i like them so damn much, and I don’t want anyone biting the look! This brand, Railcar fine goods is one of them. Fuck it! T’is the season, consider your self up on it! My favorite denim co. right now. Railcar is from California and all there products are made under one roof, by hand, in the USA by the Railcar staff themselves. DOPE. Their Selvedge jeans are top-notch, and use Cone Mills Denim. If your denim game is tight you know Cone Mills. DO IT! Railcarfinegoods.com
