this plaid pocket tee is by far my favorite piece from the summer line. apparently it was some of yours as well seeing as how were pretty much sold out of it. besides the obvious good looks it does a great job of holding my stussy artie shades (thanks ben!) which by the way are perhaps my favorite pair of sun glasses ever.

wow 2 bike related posts in a row. shocking. Nike and participating shops will be displaying 4 brooks saddles throughout the month of july to coincide with their livestrong x nsw greatest hits series. The first is the mr. caroon edition. I don't think these things will ever be released to the public and theres like 10 shops getting these shoes so there are probably around 15-20 of each saddle in the world. Kind of cool. stop by GOODS to check it out.

thanks to ryan at aloha fixed for hooking it up with this fancy new t19 stem cap. it matches the other purple parts ive got on my bike and is pretty much the perfect finishing touch.
