Some Product Custom Denim
Denim jackets are pretty much timeless. They are an integral item in any wardrobe worth keeping, and a really good one, will remain a cherished item for life. They are worn by every one and any one. Bikers & Rockers. Punks & Skins. Hippies & Mods. Skaters & Metalheads. The Young & The Old. Everyone….
Several years ago I started collecting vintage denim jackets and old patches and slowly started to work on Some Product Custom. The only rule was, that each one should be a completely unique item, and reflect or rather pay tribute to, a certain personal style or scene.
These jackets are available in very limited quantities for wholesale or directly from Some Product (visit our studio or online store).
Starting in March 2011, they will be available at Patricia Fields Boutique on the Bowery in NYC and in Vancouver at El Kartel.
All jackets are printed by Mycommunitee.com.
The first jacket pictured is my old junior high school daily uniform (nfs).
Thanks, Strip Club DJ
Swank is a classy gentlemen’s publication and this is one Swanky tee.
Taken from the DJ booth at the infamous Penthouse Night Club in Vancouver. Authentic Strip Club DJ pit stains. No Photoshop miracles here!

Brushing with Air
Cutting stencils and airbrushing was a huge part of the creative thrust and process for Some Product during 2004 and 2005. Most of the items from that period were airbrushed individually by hand in Vancouver. It was a very exciting and spontaneous period with many designs being one-of-a-kind, or in extremely limited runs. The majority of the collections were sold to customers in Japan. Locally they were sold at El Kartel.
In 2011, Some Product will be bringing back airbrush elements into the collection. (Posts to follow).
Time permitting, there is a possibility of an airbrush workshop at Blim in the up coming months. Check with Blim for any details.

Ah Nostalgia
Nostalgia was a 2004 New Years’ Eve party held at the current “Red Gate” space on Hastings St. in Vancouver. Nostalgia successfully strived to be more then another over priced and predictable New Years’ party. It fused innovative performances, site specific set design and art. Most importantly it was a blast!
No need to feel Nostalgic however, as many of the same people involved in 2004, are throwing another New Years’ party at the Waldorf Hotel, which again promises to be something special.
Happy New Years’ and see you in 2011!
About 50-70 of these Nostalgia tees were produced specifically for the event.

Shirts About F**king
Big Black was probably the meanest, hardest band I heard growing up. I got signed up for sunday school, just so I could wear this shirt.
Google image search Big Black, at your own risk!
The Xeroxed Goddess
Former teenage “bad girl” appears on this vintage t-shirt bought at a Saint Catherine’s sex shop in Montreal, sometime in the 90’s. Tracy Lord’s iconic image gets the full-on DIY, photocopied and cut-up treatment, in a glorious high contrast black and white print. No gloss here, just cheap, easy n’ sleazy.
xxx Sonic Life xxx
A killer Sonic Youth tee I’ve owned for years. Excellent, primitive design perfectly conveyed the mood and sound of this great band. I also love the fact that there is no actual band name on the shirt.
Favorite found photo
I found this in a pack of discarded photos at a bus stop on Sunset Strip in Hollywood, circa 2003. Image kinda speaks for itself…
What the hell was I doing at a bus stop? Waiting for the bus, of course!
This was the very first Some Product sales trip, my license was suspended, budget nonexistent, so I took the dreaded BUS, samples and a catalogue in tow. Huge props to Shabon on Beverly Blvd. for being the first store to ever place an order with Some Product. Now it’s primarily an excellent vintage store ,and I still try to stop in whenever I am in LA. You never really forget your first, I guess…
