Top Full sleeve T-shirts

As we move towards cooler weather, it is but natural we brace ourselves. That’s exactly what we aim to do with our latest Autumn Winter drops. Long sleeves in fall colours, logos and some interesting graphics is what we have in store for you. Whether worn on their own or layered under your favourite tee, full sleeve T-shirts are the calling of the season. And here are Capsul’s top 3 picks:

THE HUNDREDS VISION LS TEE:


This T-shirt conjures up feelings of all things Autumn- Falling leaves, nippy breeze, aromas of cinnamon, Freddy Kruger. The list goes on. But what we like best about The Vision Tee is the sophisticated use of the bright colour making it an eye catching piece, without trying too hard.

CARHARTT WIP HORIZON LS (BLUSH):


Carhartt has always had a name in the fashion meets functionality space. The Carhartt Horizon tee is ideal for – “when it’s too cool for a t-shirt and too warm for a sweatshirt” weather. The subtle colour with stand out graphics is another reason why we love this product so much. Balance is the key.

HUF DOMESTIC LS TEE (RUST):


One can never go wrong with logos tees especially when it’s a skatewear classic. The HUF box logo is iconic. Those 3 letters are all the statement you need to make. Easily one of the coolest brands out there. Enough said.

Rastaclat Bracelets – Seek The Positive



Seek The Positive.

That’s the idea behind these simple yet eye catching bracelets.

Founder, Daniel Kasidi came up with the concept of Rastaclat by taking something as ordinary as a shoelace and turning into something special, going back to his days skateboarding when he was in school. Daniel started wearing braided shoelaces on his wrist, it was not long before his friends took notice and Daniel was making and selling them at his school. But it was never about the money, rather it was the positive emotions and stories that came from the bracelets he made.

“A brand isn’t your product. A brand is how you make people feel. A brand is how you bring people into the community. People that buy our brand are buying into positivity.”- Daniel Kasidi

Rastaclat bracelets constantly reminds us to keep a positive outlook towards everything we do, inspiring and challenging us to have a mindset that seeks the good, for others and ourselves. For more rastaclat box.

Rastaclat bracelets are available in a number of styles- braided, single band, multiple bands, for men and women, all carry the same message of spreading positive vibrations.

HUF | Capsul


‘Born on the Street’, that’s where the story of HUF began. Started in 2002 by Keith Hufnagel, there are very few who are unfamiliar with the HUF brand name in the Skate and Streetwear scene. But the story of HUF started long before that.

HUF has its humble beginnings in the New York of the 80s, where punk was sweeping over the city. At a time when skaters were seen as social outliers, Keith was out cruising the streets, tagging ‘HUF ONE’, unaware he was making his mark on the streetwear and fashion world in the years to come. He went on to build a career as a pro skater, travelling across the globe, getting inspired by cultures across Europe and East Asia. All his travels and experiences crafted a HUF aesthetic, which created one of the biggest names in skate and streetwear.

Keith’s influences coalesced into HUF’s first store in San Francisco where he curated and sold rare sneakers and streetwear to skaters and creative, like minded individuals across countercultures. Soon it was time to launch his own collection! When HUF started selling their own line of streetwear & shoes it was received with the same positive response that met their store. And then came the blow up – HUF’s Plantlife socks.
The idea to use the all over ‘cannabis leaf’ print on socks was slow to pick up but eventually skyrocketed in popularity. It was cheekily cited as a “gateway drug to the brand”.  The socks were an apt representation of the brand and its beginnings, an ode to the rebels "We're a skateboard company that has always been edgy, so marijuana leaves, at that point when we were doing it, were very edgy, because weed was not legalized anywhere. So putting it on socks was cool." says Keith (Complex, April 21 2016).

The HUF Plantlife socks, along with the other products, are now available on www.shopcapsul.com

Staple Pigeon



From a tshirt made in a Silkscreen class at Parsons to becoming an icon that encapsulates the spirit of New York, saying Staple Pigeon has come a long way would be an understatement.

A juggernaut in the streetwear game, Staple Pigeon, founded by Jeff Staple, or as he prefers to go by- jeffstaples,  has come to mean more than just a clothing brand. When we see the Pigeon, the words “ Let's get this bread” comes to mind. Staple Pigeon has been representing the pulse of the concrete jungle with its hustlers and go getters for over 20 years.

Staple Pigeon blew up even further when Nike approached jeffstaple in 2005, to design a commemorative sneaker that would represent NYC. The Staple Pigeon Dunk SB was born and from there it was only getting bigger and better.

jeffstaple  is constantly cited as the ideal left- right brained, his love for graphics and design balanced with his entrepreneurial skills. He is as involved in the creative process as he is in building an empire, and it shows through what he makes.


Staple Pigeon is just what you need to take an everyday outfit up a few notches. “Street-minded sensibilities with mature sophisticated nods to high-end fashion”. The Staple Pigeon Summer 19 is no different. Bright colours, interesting graphics, texts, embroidered details and a whole lotta cool. 

Colour blocks and repeated prints featuring the pigeon make an appearance as well.  The Staple Summer 19 collection offers t-shirts, shorts and caps all available on www.shopcapsul.com .

PUMA X Space Agency | Streetwear Store



On 20th July, 1969, the world witnessed a historic event that made it stop and celebrate as one human race! The Apollo 11 had landed on the Moon. “One step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.

And now 50 years later, millions have been remembering and celebrating this feat all through last week. NASA marked the anniversary by streaming footage of the launch online, that was watched by half a billion people 50 years ago. The Aldrin Family Foundation hosted a day long, family festival in Times Square where Buzz’s lunar boot-print made an appearance.

And sneaker brands commemorated the occasion with must cop drops. Nike dropped a NASA X PG3 while PUMA collaborated with the Space Agency to launch the Space Explorer capsule.

Capsul, India’s first multi-brand streetwear store has been serving up fresh threads to elevate an everyday look. It only seems fair that the first footwear drop on the platform is a collaboration that pays tribute to man’s biggest expedition, his journey into the unknown.

The PUMA CELL Alien is the first silhouette of the Space Explorer Pack. This chunky, 90’s running silhouette has been remodelled to mirror the night sky in a murdered out all black colourway with iridescent details and cosmic speckles on the midsole; talk about having the galaxy at your feet.

Tres Dean of Geek.com even says, “There’s no explicit reference on the shoe to Ridley Scott’s Alien but it’s hard to look at this one and not think of the classic Xenomorph design.” And we agree!

The second silhouette – PUMA RS 9.8 pays homage to the Space Agency in a sleek white colourway with red and blue streaks and silver spacesuit colour detailing.

You can get your hands on these inter-galactic beauties, the PUMA CELL Alien and the RS 9.8 on


PUMA’s collaboration with the Space Agency will also include Tees and Hoodies, landing soon for you to cop on Capsul. So grab your telescopes stargazers, and watch this space.

Houston, over and out.

INDVLST | Capsul


Streetwear has been the buzzword for a while now.

But there is no ignoring its grip on the fashion industry. From limited collabs to secret drops, streetwear has us all waiting and watching and wanting. 
And just when you started questioning “what’s next for streetwear?”, Emiliano Dacayanan, a.k.a. Tek goes and switches up the game. Tek, a design specialist for Ink Lab mfg- a screen printing and design house based in LA, that has worked with Chinatown Market, Champion and Carrots, has now launched his own label - INDVLST LAB. 
Complete with a blank garment, bottles of ink and a Screen (yes you read that right) with pre-designed graphics of  his Volume One collection, INDVLST LAB is not just leveling up the game, it is reshaping the whole designer - consumer relationship. INDVLST LAB puts the consumer in the driver's seat, giving you the opportunity to experiment with colours and prints to give you the ultimate experience in customization. According to the label’s Instagram handle, the collection is dedicated to “the kid who has limited resources in the middle of nowhere that has the urge to be creative in the fashion department. The T-shirt is where it starts, this is a tool to your journey. I pre-designed the frame for you to design your own Volume One.” Talk about expression of individuality. 
We at Capsul, are just as excited about the creator and the process of creation and The INDVLST LAB Volume 1 KIT : 36 CHAMBERS NEON, inspired by 1970s martial artists, is now available on www.shopcapsul.com  for you to own.

Tees using a social, message, controversial pop cult references and creations by modern artists are nothing short of pieces of walking artwork and quite frequently conversation starters.



Over time, graphics and logos have come to mean something to everyone be it childhood nostalgia or representing an ideology or a remarkable cause and that's what makes picture tees timeless.
