Get Dressed to go to WAR !!!!!!!
Wasted so much time stuntin' for folk (Wasted so much time!) / When really the whole time, I was stuntin' my growth (Can't get that back!)
This week is for The Real Ballers - high ticket items from far away makers MAN-TLE and BEAMS Plus are not for the weak. Not to worry, we also bring you a Cracking Cap from the devious minds at Tenant that fits in any budget. We also touch on the Constitution and a massive fucking dweeb named Curtis.
TUESDAY MEANS WAR
TACTICAL UPDATES
HEADWEAR
“6th Sense” Anniversary Hat by Tenant
“I see dead people!” No, we’re not talking about the current state of the skateboarding industry, we’re talking about the BARNBURNER 6th anniversary cap from Brooklyn’s Finest, Tenant. They mark the passing of each year with an absolute heater for your dome, sticking with snapbacks made by Ebbets in quintessential ballcap fit and a satin green underbrim to set it off. This year, in honor of number 6, they bootlegged the iconic Bruce WIllis/Haley Joel Osment thriller that hooked the world on M. Night Shyamalan and his patented twists, The Sixth Sense. They usually keep it simple, pairing the front graphic with a small apple logo on the back that signifies the anniversary year. It would be easy to get carried away when you’re celebrating your success, but Tenant keeps it lowkey as they continue their run as the Coolest Shop in NY™. And they just took home the award for Hat of the Year for the 6th year running.
UPPER UNIFORM
R19S1 New Shirt 1 by MAN-TLE
We thought MAN-TLE was from Japan. Stunning textiles, Big fits, interesting detailing, MAN-TLE has all the hallmarks! Turns out MAN-TLE is an Australian operation, unsurprising given the Rise of The Aussies in the global Fashion game over the last decade or so. But we were at least partially correct, as MAN-TLE describes themselves as “specialising in the production of textiles, garments, accessories and objects with expert Japanese manufacturers.” Thankful that our eyes were not deceiving us, we’ve been smitten with their sumptuous textiles like garment dyed parachute cloth, crinkly nylon, and water-repellent gabardine. The new season brings us a lovely new one, MT-Wax, as they tell it, “100% cotton with a paraffin wax coating. Yarn spun and dyed in Japan using cotton grown in Australia and the USA. Woven in Shizouka, then coated and baked in paraffin wax in Fukui. This original MAN–TLE cloth, MT-Wax, is designed to reveal new sound, colour, and texture over time. At first heavyweight and naturally stiff, it softens, fades, and changes form with washing and wear, becoming personal to the body it covers. Woven for MAN–TLE in Shizuoka, Japan.” They’ve used it across the season on multiple styles of cap, shirt, and pants, providing an option for nearly anyone who wants to stunt. We recommend taking a head-to-toe look to The Streets. More wear means more personality and more You coming through. Fit up and fuck that Shit up!
LOWER UNIFORM
MIL Over 6 Pockets Pant by BEAMS Plus
Listen, we will not claim to know much about these. Yet to be released by BEAMS America, we’re relying on the sparse details from the Beams Japan site, which is little to none. They’re big. They’re made from jacquard knit. They’re offered in an animal print camo pattern. BEAMS are synonymous with quality and Bangingness, so there’s really no reason to think these pants won’t Bang as well. They’ll likely hit the US webstore in the coming months, but Brave Soldiers must take risks sometimes in order to further their Fight. Who cares what the exchange rate is, or the customs fees you’ll pay, or the fact you’ll need a proxy service to buy them. The world is collapsing around us at a pace we’ll probably never truly comprehend, buy some Dope Pants!
FIELD NOTES
SOLDIER OF THE WEEK
Jimmy Kimmel
The First Amendment was first because it was the most important one. The Government cannot silence all of us. Stand up, speak up. Do not censor yourself and do not let them control your voice.
ENEMY OF THE WEEK
Curtis Yarvin
Curtis Yarvin, the self-styled “Philosopher Behind JD Vance” who professes a profound love of racism, sexism, fascism, anti-intellectualism, and a dystopian future where he and the other Nerds rule over all of us dumb normies that don’t know computers or whatever. The Apex Redditor certainly dresses the part, sporting the quintessentially dweeby costume of Shitty hair, motorcycle jackets, and wire frame dork goggles. We’ve never seen the footwork but we can assume. Perhaps the most nefarious mind behind the Trump Regime, Yarvin supports a return to Monarchy and Feudalism in the United States of America, where Trump (and soon Vance) rule through Executive Order and Singular Rule, and state power is replaced by Oligarchy - where Meta, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and the rest formalize a societal structure that’s already informally been in place for decades. Your rights only go as far as your employer allows. What’s clear from living through a real life reboot of Revenge of the Nerd is that the Nerds are angry and looking for retribution. The precursor to the Incel movement, Yarvin deeply wants to subjugate the jocks and liberals that correctly bullied him in high school. Like many arrogant pricks of our youth, he’s imbued with a strange sense of superiority and lived a life wondering why nobody recognized it. Somewhere along the way he touched a nerve with all the other Loser who grew up similarly (Thiel, Zuckerberg, Musk, Altman, et al). The Billionaires are deadset on enslaving us to build datacenters and AI ourselves into irrelevance, and Yarvin wrote the blueprint. We gotta Bully these pieces of shit a hell of a lot more.
You’re now up to speed on the latest from the battlefield. Use this intel wisely and pass it on to others who may need our guidance. We can’t win the war unless we’re in it together.
I really wonder— if you Americans know how pathetic you all look, to the outside world. You fight amongst yourselves.. Democrats V Republicans, black vs. white, religion against religion, actually you all fight over every single topic. From an outside perspective, you're like the bullies in the sand pit.. You think you should be number one, with every other country below you but never equal to you right? What're your saying?.. God bless America and no one else Right? You create the weapons, the war and interfere in every other country on the planet. “You're the eternal agitators”.. And not since Trump but since “ALWAYS”. It's clear anyway that no president is in charge. There is something much more sinister going on behind the scenes. All that money going to defence budgets and it should be providing every damn citizen— with Free healthcare, number one priority today.. Food in your stomach, number two.. No more of this bull shit, war mongering, money drainers. You want all your kids 18+ sent overseas to these wars? Dem or Rep— The only time your sons and daughters should be getting ready for war, is if you need to fight an invasion on your own soil.. And that could definitely happen 99% of the world's problems are caused by the American oligarchy/elite class. You all should be embarrassed to call yourself American, the world is really starting to hate you all. And for you Democrats.. the way you carry on like little children, sore little losers of the election.. And you guys fucking sucked— when you held all the seats and all the power.. Fucking disgusting all of you.
Get it together or there will be suffering on this planet like never before and you will be to blame..
Fuck make America great again, how about make the world great again— 2000 years of peace, is what you all should be fighting for.. Abolish the insurance companies.. Stop letting corporations and billionaires run the show..
Stand up for yourself for fuck sake.
Much love to the peacekeepers..
From a New Zealand Grandmother
(with free healthcare and a 4% unemployment rate) You could have that too, if you work together.. Dumb ass’s.
