FRIDAY.LASSITUDE.XXIV - DEC XXV

by Robin Chan | December 25, 2015

As SF based, we always support our local sport team: Golden State Warriors.

It's always fun to watch in 'Roaracle', probably one of the loudest NBA Arena. Everyone in the stadium will anticipate when a random "Waaariors!" or "Let's Go Warriors" chants start.

While the defending champions Warriors' recording-setting win streak has ended at the hands of the Bucks, they still extend their home streak to 30 Games on Wednesday. They had a slow start but they were good enough to cruise pass Utah Jazz.

Even with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers coming to town today, we are hopeful that our unbeaten home record will still intact. Enjoy one of the more anticipated Christmas Day games in recent years!

"Let's Go Warriors" and Merry Christmas!

FRIDAY.LASSITUDE.XXIII - Star Wars: The Force Awakens

by Jade Lam | December 18, 2015

 

This weekend everyone is excited about the Star Wars movie just like we do. They finally made a movie sequel to the original Star Wars trilogy. And the good news is? The Force Awakens easily captures the charm and excitement of the first three movies.

We are fortunate that we can watch the movie a few hours ahead of the official release date. Don't worry. No spoilers here...

With The Force Awakens, J.J. Abrams has delivered a thrilling, energetic, though not altogether mind-blowing film that has deftly added to the rich tapestry that is Star Wars, putting the saga in good stead for years to come.

Old cast is back- the original Star Wars cast. Episode VII won’t just bring back the big heroes like Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo and Princess Leia – even the original actors who played side characters like Chewbacca , C-3PO, and R2-D2 are coming back to the screen.

Like most of the fans we went into this with marginal hopes, because by our very nature we have a tendency to compare. We are happy to conclude that Star Wars is headed back in the right direction, and we eagerly await the next chapter in the saga!

FRIDAY.LASSITUDE.XXII - Artist Collaboration (debut batch)

by Jeffrey Lee | December 11, 2015

We first met SF local artist, Jon Gourley in the Spring of '14. It was back at his residency days w/ Root Division in Mission, SF. Stunned by the minimal and satirical approach of his prints, we knew certainly an Artist Collab. batch are meant to happen. 20 months later (yes, we are dumbfounded at our procrastination capacity, too), today we are finally ready to release this batch.

Attentively curated artworks on the denim and on the 10oz. canvas bag; the artworks intend to transcend a seemingly explicit w/ a subtle/sarcastic/wit undertone as its hidden layer.
Leftist/ rightist/ democrats blue (or butyl blue) & social norm are among the central concepts for our collab. The 13.75oz denim is constructed w/ left hand twill fabrics (which as one may guess, is also an implicit decision).

Adorned w/ gun metal rivets, this hand numbered petite batch (30 pairs made) is also our first men jeans to adopt the heritage continuous fly detail.

Swing by 440 Brannan Studio Showroom at 5-7pm today, 12/11. Grab a beer w/ us to chat more on denim, art & beyond.

Till next week. Cheers everyone.

FRIDAY.LASSITUDE.XXI - Shizuoka's Green Tea Cola

by Robin Chan | December 04, 2015

While companies around the world have made all sorts of different versions of cola, we were told that Kimura Beverage Company in Japan has made a tastier and healthier soft drinks than the same products of some well-known giant companies. It took them five years in planning and one year for product development. It is called "Shizuoka Cola" and is only available in Shizouka (well known as green tea capital, providing almost half of all the green teas consumed in Japan).

Finally we were lucky enough to get a taste of this Shizuoka's Cola in a Taiwan Sushi restaurant. So, how does it taste? Overall it is actually very refreshing and has a soft sweetish green tea aroma which goes well with Japanese food. There was a very faint after taste of green tea.

What's next? Cola in Kabayaki eel flavour? Stay tuned!
