I have been dropping sneak peaks of current projects lately on my Twitter account. Here is a look at some of the New Era samples that I am working on for the next couple of years - damn. I have a desk full of these things. If you are not following me on Twitter then you might be missing out. Twitter is great place to show glimpses of projects and other things as they are getting developed.

Mike Giant recently had an art show in Paris alongside Dalek. You can check out the show here. Giant exhibited a piece that he drew up for an upcoming collaboration we have been working on together with Rebel8. This is only the tip of how amazing this going to be. I really want this drawing to be hanging in my house — i’m calling dibs!

It took me a minute, but my online shop is finally updated with the new line! Exclusively to site is a black and orange colorway of the Paper Plane Icon shirt limited to a run of 50. There are really limited sizes and numbers of the Striped New Eras to match. Orders are already pouring in and I haven’t even posted that the site is updated.. hmm.

For the first time the line is now available in Canada! After countless e-mails asking why I have no Canadian retailers I am pleased to add Livestock to the stockist (which is updated)! Livestock is Canada’s premier boutique with 3 retail locations in Vancouver and Toronto. Please stop by their stores and let them know you are as happy as I am for them to carry it.

Long time supporter Krudmart in buffalo. Ny just sent out their newsletter, featuring my newest drop. The letter reads: “The pinch hitter in our lineup, Benny Gold is back with the new shit for Spring/Summer ‘09. The obvious standout here is the Logo Stripe New Era but the whole line is pretty killer. Limited numbers like always so step lively like a zombie on opposite day.” haha.. awesome, thanks guys!

I am busy packing up orders and cleaning out my online shop to make room for the new line. Everything should be up end of this week.. hopefully. There will also be a special run of the logo shirt in a black orange colorway to match the stripped New Era that is in stores now. This shirt is printed in a limited run of 50 and will only be available on my site. I’ll let you know when I get the new inventory stocked in the store.

I have 4 stores in the Bay Area that hold me down. Fatlace in San Francisco, 510 across the bridge in Berkeley, Atlas in San Mateo and our down south brothers Purist Boutique in San Jose. With every season I make sure they get their full orders which gets hard because I don’t produce enough fitteds to cover the demand. If you are in the Bay Area please support these stores they are some of the best in the area.

Sunday we had a birthday party in the park for my lil buddy Levi. He dressed up for the occasion and all his friends came out. It was hot in San Francisco and I am still sun tired from the day. Thanks to Jason for the pics. I am glad someone brought a camera. More of the birthday party here.

Premier hat boutique Hall of Fame in LA has recently updated their site. I am honored to have my stuff available in their shop. The owners are great guys and they might have the best hat store in the world.

Dante Ross stopped over my office yesterday to catch up. I laced him with some gear (including me last sample doughboy fitted) and we grabbed some lunch. Dante is a straight up dude. I really respect his hustle and everything he has accomplished. Dude aint done yet.. you can expect some big things from him. Big ups homie.
