Created with professional skateboarder and four-time X Games medalist Paul Rodriguez, each bag in the collection features a vast array of skateboard-specific storage options and unique functionalities designed to meet the high-performance needs of skateboarders. By merging skateboard-specific design with sophisticated, non-traditional materials and construction, the Paul Rodriguez Signature Collection brings together refinement and functionality, delivering the optimum in durability, ease-of-use and good design.
Each piece arrives in custom Paul Rodriguez packaging that also serves as bag storage when not in use.
The Paul Rodriguez Signature Collection is available through Incase’s webstore, Active and better boutiques worldwide. The Skate Pack will also be available at select Apple retail locations in California.
Gravis recently teamed up with top-tier brands Diamond Supply Co. x In4mation and The Hundreds on sick luggage, but they also launched their skateboarding sector IVSK8 and successfully designed a few new skate shoes. As of now, Arto Saari is pretty much their one-man team with his high-tech, high-style Viking Hi (pictured above) being the standout model. Check out the other Viking Hi and two Viking Low color-ups after the jump. Lay off the Nike SBs this time and kick around in a fresh pair of Gravis’.
We have seen the collaboration before and now the new small size Supreme x Maglite has been released. In case you have been looking for one and want a sleeker outfit than the classic black, take a look at these. They come in black, blue and of course red.
This Nike SB Ostrich Belt went unnoticed in the blogosphere, so we just wanted to give you the heads up. It’s all black embossed “ostrich” leather with a removable buckle. We did a bit of research on this piece and it’s sold out in most online accounts, but Active still has some…not for long.
For the past few years Brixton Ltd. has been designing some of the most buttery collection of vintage-style hats around, catering to fashion-conscious needs of skaters who give a sh*t about looking good. It wasn't long before a long list of your favorite skaters took notice to what these guys were doign and soon were rocking Brixton hats on the regs. Dudes like Jamie Thomas, Chet Childress, Jason Adams, Figgy, Steve Cabellero, Salman Agah, John Lucero, Matt Hensley, Chris Haslam, Patrick Melcher, Chris Troy and more have all been caught wearing Brixton caps at one time or another. Now for Brixton's Fall '09 line, the brand that's mastered the hat game, has expanded into jacket and flannel territory.
Since the New York temperatures are dropping like a motherf&*k as of late, my friends over at Brixton were sweet enough to send me some goods to keep my chilly-ass nice and cozy as the wind chill picks up. For the past week I've been wearing one of Brixton's newest jackets called The Clampdown. Courtesy Brixton Ltd
Brixton Cedar Flannel
Available in Black and Grey (mine's in black), this classic workers jacket is designed for a slimmer fit than most jackets, eliminating the gross, saggy feeling you get when your coat is too big around the arms and waist. It features a fully insulated liner and side pockets that can be used with a zipper, or a more classic looking button. I wear a medium normally, but the large in the Clampdown fits flawlessly. Keep that sh*t in mind when you're ordering this piece. Super warm, fits perfectly and looks hella-tight. Go on it.
When the temperature drops and skating still calls, it's layering and hot cocoa that's gonna save your scrawny ass. However, it's the bulk that comes along with layering that often sucks nuts. The Brixton Cedar Flannel is a super heavy duty 100% cotton button down that's dense and warm as f*&k. Most of my flannels are far too thin and as a result let the Fall winds seep through without an ounce of cold protection. This thing is thick and has almost the same strength and durability as a Pendleton, but manages to remain soft. Wear this thing out skating as is or throw a hoodie under it for when the snow begins to fall. Either way, you're keeping it cozy.

Brixton Heist Beanie In Black
Known well for their fedoras and other classic-style hats, Brixton also makes beanies. If you're out in the cold, a beanie is essential for survival. But most snow caps get too warm and if you're going the distance, it won't be long before you're battling a headful of sweat and hair that's dripping wet...a no, no in sub-zero temperatures. The best part about Brixton's Heist Beanie is that it's not heavy at all. It's light and contains just the right amount of material to do the job right. In fact, the Brixton beanie's are light enough to wear all summer long.

Brixton Tyrant Olive/Black Scarf
Another item fresh to the Brixton line is their Scarves. If you find yourself in the dead of winter during a windy day, the deciding factor between comfort and wanting to die is all dependent on a good scarf. Having a 15 degree blast of wind hit your neck and travel down your chest can feel like being skinned alive. Brixton's scarf is called The Tyrant, and is extra long and thick and available in a solid Heather Grey, a Red and Black Stripe, and the one I've got, Olive with a Black Stripe.
If you're looking to suit up for freezing temperatures or just somewhat chilly nights ahead, Brixton's got the upper portion of your body covered. -J.R.
