Every season we partner with our close allies when it is time to shoot a new brand book and visual assets. We are thankful for the support of our local family from APOLIS ACTIVISM, GOURMET, and TIMBERLAND for outfitting our crew and models in the correct clothing and footwear for our trip. Our global comrades from France, Bell & Ross supported the Summer 2011 campaign with functional submersible timepieces for our expeditionary endeavor to Kauai. The watch featured above is the Marine BR 02 44mm in Carbon PVD and Steel finish with rubber wristband. This Dive watch is built like a tank and withstood all the elements that Kauai had to offer. Below are some of the shots that feature both watches in different areas of the island.

I had the pleasure today to catch up with the homie Darin Maki. Darin is back in LA from Japan where he lives and plays basketball professionally for the Tokyo Apache. He has be rocking MOSLEY TRIBES for a while now and it is always good to hear whats good in Japan. It was really interesting to get a first hand account of what went down in Tokyo during the earthquake. Darin said that it shook for a really long time and that he ran out of his building down on the street and it was completely crazy with glass falling, bricks and power lines all over the place. Darin got out 5 days after the quake to come stay with his fam here in So. Cal. We wish him and all our Japanese family our prayers.
Still in the shoe game.
Check out this video where Darin talks about his shoe collection.
Day Job.
The Hayes in Black and Gold are the new look. Thanks Buddy.
On the streets of Buenos Aires, we caught Matt Bellamy lead singer of MUSE rocking the Beaded Lyndel, nice to see that it is still making its way around the world. A little closer to home, Joe Jonas was see wearing the MOSLEY TRIBES Burke in Military Green in the streets of Hollywood, great look guys.
This past week i had a minute to cruise to Downtown LA to see an old friend and check out the new mens line G.P.P.R. Bam Barcena is the Designer and Founder of this line that reiterates masculine style, attention to detail and comfort. Bam has a long history in fashion and it is great to see him come out with his own line that really reverberates his vision and style. In the studio you can see his influences everywhere, what caught my eye was the 10 hole Doc Martin Steelies with the white laces, it is funny how the past has caught up with me. I believe that both Bam and I grew up loving the Ska Punk scene (circa 90’s) of So. Cal. and the style that was present then emulates from the designs and colors of that era. Below is a great song from the past that will play along nicely with this post.
I have to say that this line is paired with great wovens, jackets, and denim that really give this collection a well rounded look.
Full Japanese Demin that was so soft and broken in, goodbye A.P.C / Love the paper canvas hang tag great detail.
Studio coffee table, inspiration all around, and semi-rimless is always a good look.
Its rough in the streets.
Here is a sneak peek at next season, the denim jacket is on fire. Peep Revolve Clothing for current collection and pick them up.
Here @ Mosley Tribes we are always focused on the functional factor of daily life. So here is an example of a you will find in our pockets, belt loops and wrists. I was put on to the voyeuristic site Everyday Carry by my good friend The Commodore and now want to give you a glimpse into our world. So here is a list of our EDC. Would love to see what you carry and how MOSLEY TRIBES fits into your life. Please post photos to our FB page.
I know that LA doesn’t have the best snow in the world but we are always thankful for a good pacific northwest storm to roll thru our part of town and dump 30 to 40 inches of powder in our local mountains. Time to head to the hills and shred.
Here are Mosley Tribes we are always interested in Luxury goods that have a functional aspect to them and the Rolex Submariner is no exception. This iconic and timeless look of this time piece paired with the Nato strap is great. Here is the write up that Highsnob posted on this collaborative project.
Project X Designs presents their latest Rolex mods, the Stealth Mark III and Stealth Mark IV. Hearkening back to military Rolex Submariner (Mil-Sub) watches, the series updates the most modern Rolex Submariner Date watches with details dedicated to the British Special Boat Service (SBS) of the 50s to 70s – the back of each of watch features an engraving of the SBS frog logo and their “By Strength and Guile” motto. The Mark III watch is in steel with a black ceramic bezel insert, while the Mark IV model is in all black steel. Each watch comes on a khaki green NATO strap. Limited to 28 pieces each, and available only through Project X Designs.
So a new website is coming sooner than later, with all the new ill styles that are starting to hit the blogs and editorial. Below we got a hit on one of our great styles called the Burke in a military green for this months issue of MAXIM. Currently you can browse the webstore and pick one up.
I know that we have not updated in a while, i have been in the trenches designing all the seasonal materials ready for print, well its another tradeshow season hope to see you there. The new product for Summer 2011 is really amazing and i think one of the best presentations since we started. Please come by our booth and say whats up and see the newness that is upon you.
