HARD ROCK x THE HUNDREDS

If there was a Venn Diagram depicting places for food lovers and music aficionados Hard Rock would sit squarely at the intersection. The Hard Rock name has been associated with an unmatched dining experience for music lovers with their unforgettable gigs and collection of priceless memorabilia that preserves the biggest moments in music history.

The one thing about Hard Rock that stands out is their instantly recognizable merchandise. The iconic Hard Rock cafe T-shirt is quite possibly one of the most famous t-shirts in the world. And it is not uncommon for die hard music lovers to make a pit stop at a Hard Rock in every city they visit, further building their collection.

The Hundreds has always been about empowering communities. Their brand is more than just product – they’re about the stories and the experiences.

Staying true to their nature, The Hundreds team up with Hard Rock Cafe to bring their twist to this American institution with a recreation of some of Hard Rock’s staple pieces with a vintage feel. No points for guessing, yes the Signature Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt and shot glass set is part of this limited edition capsule collection.

Best Streetwear Brands | Capsul

When it comes to best streetwear brands, there isn’t a shortage of brands out there catering to this up and coming movement that has taken over the globe.

They range from sportswear brands, hip-hop rap inspired clothing, skatewear, high street fashion houses and tactical workwear labels that have made their way into daily wear. However, there are a few names that come to our mind when we think about our top picks.

1. THE HUNDREDS: The Hundreds has been a household name in streetwear since 2003 as they put community and culture before product. They’ve been known for their collaborations, where there’s something for everyone – skaters, tattoo artists, pop culture buffs and movie buffs! According to Bobby Hundreds of The Hundreds, streetwear is not a product, it’s a culture and we at Capsul completely agree.

2. STAPLE PIGEON: Straight from the streets of NYC, Staple Pigeon is a representation of city dwellers and the hustle of cities that never sleep. Staple Pigeon gathered a great deal of attention when they released the Nike Pigeon Dunks, which have a place in sneaker lore as the drop that started a riot, catapulting the streetwear and sneaker community into the limelight.

3. THRASHER: Thrasher has been one of the most well known names in the skate world, long before they started making t-shirts, hoodies & accessories. Thrasher magazine is often referred to as The Bible of the Skate world and has been a source of information and inspiration for generations of skaters. Skate being one of the main roots of street culture, it was but natural the Flames Logo would go on to become one of the most recognized logos in streetwear. One of the best sellers on Capsul, this tee brings immense street cred.

4. DAILY PAPER: Started by 3 friends of African origin living in Amsterdam blogging about fashion, music and parties, Daily Paper quickly rose to become one of the hottest streetwear brands in Europe, combining European aesthetic with elements of their African roots. Their designs – clean, colourful, sophisticated and functional – are a favourite of the UK hip hop scene.

5. RIPNREPAIR: The new kids on the block, born and made in LA, taking inspiration from the streets of Koreatown, pop culture and the vibe of 90’s LA. Their bright coloured and psychedelic prints make Ripnrepair hard to miss. And their cuts and oversized fits make ripnrepair a must have addition to your streetwear collection

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.

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 .
