Stussy on the bandwagon again!

I'm glad I have no fuckin' idea who Stussy is/are...

Hmm at least is sez fixed not fixie and I'm kinda flattered its Stussy and not some shit brand like, ooh I don't know...O'Neill?

i bet they're about 25 quid each.

Stussy started as a surf company i think? then slipped into the streetwear market.
They've done a few fixed related things, there was a stussy and w-base tee a while back

STUSSY HISTORY

In 1980, Shawn Stussy was a local cult surfboard shaper who took his scrawled signature logo from his foam masterpieces and applied it to tee shirts that he sold along with his boards around Laguna Beach, California.

As the clothing line expanded, it's raw and modern aesthetic soon developed into the next generation of new wave beach culture. We grew during a time when epochal shifts which eternally framed contemporary popular culture were taking place.

In the music scene, the late 70's gave us punk. Then the early 80's brought us into the new DIY music called rap. Punk broke creative and aesthetic barriers and taught us that anyone could have a band. Rap then preceded not only to push social boundaries but as well explore the ideas of remixing and sampling. These new ideas and territories created a new modern platform for fashion and cultural expression.

With Stussy's success came the opportunity to travel and spread the Stussy vibe. We hooked up with trendsetters in New York, London, Tokyo and other areas of the world. Stussy clothing was inspired by this international group of musicians, skaters, DJs and artists with similar tastes, which helped to shape the brand into an international streetwear label.

Today, Stussy exists as a brand with worldwide respect and independence. With over sixty stores across the globe and a very strong tribe still in effect, Stussy is a leader in the culture which we helped start over 25 years ago.

For those of you in the Milan, Italy area, the Stussy Milan Chapter Store has a special gift for you cyclists as they are giving away these exclusive caps to those that show up in their bikes to the store tomorrow. The caps will be available in four colors with their “fixed” logo as well as the MILANO lettering on the top brim.

But reckon you're right. They'll probably be in eBay for 25 quid +

I like them.

i heard they wasn't doing too well and covent garden store is closing down...

Boring. They could've put a bit more effort in...

why did they have to write fixed on the side... first word that pops into my head is naff

Pondering the significance of "Milano" for a US surfwear company a quick google gets..

Might be a Stussy Milan release. They have different chapters worldwide...

Yeah, they're shit... The Tonite caps were ace...

:-)

Those were the days. (little tear rolls down cheek)
At least they captured a bit of fun and were 'not' directed only at fixed gear riders.

And they had a skull on... ;)

I was given one at the monopoly ride. Were they ever for sale & where?

I never got one... :(

Might be a Stussy Milan release.

Yep. See Post no. 7, up there ^

Ah! Fair enough. Could'nt be arsed to get to involved...

Some Tonite caps went on sale at The Three Threads Shoreditch. But I gave the majority away. We were supposed to get the black version but we had production problems and it didn't happen in time for the final goodbye. :-(
Woulda rocked in black too...

I gave one to this old guy on his old Italian race bike and he loved it. Was chuffed to see him wear it and ride off.

Dude, I'm still really bummed about Tonite's demise... Hope you and Fergy can come back and do something else together in the future...

Maybe one day. Fergadelic wants to take some time away. It's a shame as I was on the verge of rescuing it! Reckon it may make a comeback one day. The range for next summer was too good.
You should've seen the (Patagonia) Party On tee and the cut off string waist shorts with printed skeleton hands down the side! It was actually the best stuff Tonite had ever done. Oh well...

damn I'm buying one of those

i dunno, i kinda like the stussy caps.

Stussy is one of the few 'streetwear' companies with integrity. They put their money where their mouth is and back things that don't necessarily make money, but because they believe in them. I've worked on a few projects with them and they don't jump on bandwagons, they support scenes. The Milano caps are free, and while they are perhaps not the most cycling specific brand, it never stopped Mercatone Uno, Banesto, Discovery Channel...
