The carolinas is one of my favorite places in the states. It’s really a beautiful part of our country. If you are lucky enough to find yourself up in Charlotte, NC make sure to check out Niche Market. They have been supporting the Benny Gold brand for awhile and need your support as well! Ask for Bobby when you are there and let him know I sent you.

Oh, and it looks like they have some of the hard to find black doughboy new eras in stock still.

It’s been a busy week to say the least. I hustled to get all the online shop orders out before the holiday weekend. UPS was not happy when they showed up to a stack of boxes like this day after day this week. My hand hurts from writing a few hundreds thank you notes and I made a bunch of last minute trips to the store to replenish my dwindling box supply. It’s all worth it and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Have a great holiday weekend. I’ll see you next week!

Thanks again for all the shop orders! I’ll happily write a million more notes for you anytime!

New to our dealer list this season is Venom in Memphis, Tennessee. They stock great brands and we are happy to now be offered through them as well! If you find yourself in Memphis stop by Venom on your way to Graceland and let them know you are excited as we are that they are carrying the line.

Our partnership with other local SF brand Rebel8 has grown into a great friendship! I was more then happy to be a part of their very first lookbook alongside friends Mike Giant, Henry Lewis, John Trippe (fecal face), andLowcard Rob. If you were curious what my studio looks like this is it (racks of product, samples and design books).

The shirt I am wearing is now available in our webshop along with a really amazing New Era hat that we worked on together. Thanks for including me in your lookbook. You know I will be asking you to return the favor sooner then later!

The new issue of Computer Arts Magazine is on the newstands now. The issue is dedicated to designers starting their own brands. They were nice enough to showcase some of our products on the cover. I also gave some insight and concepts behind a few pieces for the inside spreads. If you just starting your own brand, thinking about it or well established this issue is not to be missed!

The long awaited New Era “Partner in Crime” collaboration between BENNY GOLD and REBEL8 is finally available!

The hats really came out amazing! Gold embroidery and a printed satin liner pattern with various logos and sayings from both of us. The cap is still classy, clean and wearable.

Extremely limited production of 88 pieces each available only on BENNYGOLD.COM and REBEL8.COM exclusively! Get yours HERE.

Don’t sleep they are going fast!

Freshly added to the online shop is our Velocity Deep-V bike rim collaboration. We only have a few sets available and they are $100 cheaper then they will be in select Velocity retailers. Production is limited to 200 exclusive sets!

The 2tone rim features one side in Gold and the other in Black, with each rim boasting a gold colored aluminum card and custom sticker. The black section of the card is chemically etched into the metal and each card has the set number directly punched into the metal. They are available online exclusively through bennygold.com.

I’m excited to announce the Benny Gold holiday line is now available in our newly redesigned online store!

The line continues to explore the concepts of staying youthful and striving to be the best one can be.

This season we have a few collaborations: one with Mike Giant and his Rebel8 brand, and the other with my good friend and well-known artist, Hersk. I’m also introducing another photo shirt by famed skateboard photographerGabe Morford, new accessories, argyle socks, wax products, 5panel camp hats, belts, beanies and the return of the Doughboy New Era fitteds.

Supplies are limited and moving fast in the stores.

I am pleased to add Moose Limited to our dealer list this season! They stock quality brands and I am glad to be a part of it! Head over to their site and pick up some of the new holiday season that just went live. Yes, they have some doughboy New Eras and zip-up hoodies(but not many)..

By now you probably have heard of the “Partners in Crime” New Era that I have been working on with Rebel8. We have been talking about it over twitter and other forums for awhile. We have been giving sneak peaks of the process as it progressed. Well, here are the official photos.

Quantities are limited: I have 88, and they have 88. I am really stoked on how these came out! Gold embroidery, printed satin liner, but still classy, clean and wearable.

The hats will be available on 9am Friday, November 20, 2009 in our store and Rebel8’s site exclusively for $48.00 each.
