Married to the Mob, Hoodies, and Natalie Nunn

Category: Uncategorizedakio @ 1:05 pm

We just added Married to the Mob hoodies to the website and they are dope. The quality and attention to detail in each hoodie is top of the line. They have a ton of extra detail like sturdy zipper pulls, extra pockets, logos, cool chest pins, and metal drawcords. They’re high-end hoodies for sure…but, besides the craftsmanship MTTM represents feisty and confident women who know what they want. The true Mob lifestyle…As a matter of fact, check out Natalie Nunn from the Bad Girls Club season 4 chillin at the MTTM offices in New York. Natalie Nunn and the Most Official Bitches…how perfect is that? Shop Married to the Mob hoodies now at www.hoodiepeople.com

Another small victory for the Hoodie Drive

Category: company news, hoodie peopleakio @ 4:40 pm

2nd Annual Hoodiepeople.com Hoodie Drive 2009

150 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco

Clothing donations welcome at the door

Monday – Friday 8:30- 4:30pm

Free Clothing Program 415-241-2600

The 2nd Annual Hoodie Drive was another small victory for www.hoodipeople.com. We surpassed last year and showed up at St. Anthony’s with 100 warm pieces of clothing including items from our own closets. It was actually raining while unloading the hoodies and there were lots of homeless people, including women and small children, squeezing under store over hangings for shelter. Seeing families in the cold is no joke and showed us first hand how bad homelessness gets. When we got inside the worker behind the glass said, “Oh, wow. Those will be gone quick.” Experiences like these certainly make us want to do more and re-confirm why we do this each year. Our bin had hoodies, sweaters, jackets, and rain coats donated at hoodiepeople.com’s One Year Anniversary Party. We had donations from Triumph 4th Street in San Rafael, CA again this year too. Stay tuned for our 2010 3rd Annual Hoodie Drive, we plan on turning up it up a notch and colaborating with more businesses such as the One Warm Coat Drive seen in the video below.

1st Annual Hoodie Drive 94 hoodies and jackets

‘08 Dub Wise Throwback

Category: Uncategorizedakio @ 1:31 pm

Every once in a while our brands will re-release their most popular hoodies from previous seasons. It’s exciting because usually once a hoodie sells out, it’s gone and you can’t find more anywhere. This year Dub Wise brought back a hoodie from ‘08 that sold out fast and was almost impossible to re-order, the Allover Lion Square hoodie in olive/khaki. It’s a light weight full zip with tons of classic rasta accents like the Lion of Judah allover screen print, sleeve pocket with custom rasta crown, rasta colors, and signature Dub Wise embroidered waist logo.

Spring launch list Tokidoki WESC Original Penguin

Category: brand partners, company newsHasan Luongo @ 12:28 am

While its a bit of a stretch to think Spring is here we are starting to see the early spring deliveries come in and we can’t wait any longer to announce a few of the major new brands joining the hoodiepeople family.  The fall and holiday seasons were very big and we launched nearly 10 new brands in November and December 2009 alone, including Marc Ecko, Famous Stars, Playback Clothing, Diamond Supply Co., Elm, Supra, KR3W and more.  It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t open 2010 with the same intensity.

So what fresh brands are launching on hoodiepeople.com Spring 2009?  Here are a few to wet your hoodie appetite:

Tokidoki is one of the hottest brands in the world right now and started as a personal website of founder and creative mastermind  Simone Legno. After moving from Rome to LA Legno has built an entire world of Tokidoki including some of most sought after collaborations in the universe with names like Karl Lagerfield, Hello Kitty and new for spring 2010 Marval. www.tokidoki.it

We all remember original Penguin polos from back in the day, and the brand has stayed true to its design roots and is once again making a huge splash.  Original Penguin perfectly balances quirky 70’s colors and patters with modern cuts and a major emphasis on quality fabrics and construction.  The 2010 lines from Penguin look amazing and we are extremely happy to have fresh Penguins hoodies for you. www.originalpenguin.com

Hailing from Sweden and originally making aa name for themselves with their epic headphones WeSC WeAretheSuperlativeConspiracy has been growing like crazy in the US over the past 5 years and is already a major player in Europe.  They describe the brand as  a Street-Fashion brand for Intellectual Slackers and they have gained a loyal global fan base by staying very true to the brands focus and working alongside freinds and fans to promote it. The apparel is extremely current on a global scale and reaches people with a very positive and unique message. www.wesc.com

What I like most about each of the new brands is that they all have a strong cult following of real like minded people that love the style and lifestyle and get out in the streets to represent it.  The authenticity of the three brands has obviously contributed to their success and helps them stay real through the growth.  Additionally each of the brands does a lot of cool work with hoodies and offers customers something unique, style driven, and cool. Big thanks t all the peeps we have been working with at Penguin, WeSc, and Tokidoki.

10 Deep Hoodies

Category: brand partners, hoodies, mens hoodies, new hoodiesHasan Luongo @ 4:48 pm

               10 Deep Henley Hoodie

10 Deep hoodies have arrived at hoodiepeople.com and we are fired up to be offering a brand that our whole team has been rockin and pushin hard to get on the site. 10.Deep or Tenth.nyc is a downtown New York  apparel line that started back in 1995. Basically the company has been rippin it up since day one and has carved out a strong niche by blending premium cuts, fabrics, and designs with a gritty New York street style.

In quickly reading up on the brand I caught this quote, which is their company moto:

forget everyone and listen to yourself. Strength lies in the hands of an individual (10 fingers), not in the approval of one’s peers.

to kick things off for the holiday’s we launch four fresh 10 Deep hoodies, check em out here and be on the look out for lots to come.
