Going Big

A few years back there were a couple of these floating around. They were originally created for a bouncer and crew at a club in the tenderloin. The hoodie was spied on the street, recently, to our surprise.  She wanted one for herself and a friend. We couldn’t say no to going big.

New Retail Locations

October 15th, 2009

If you’re in the city or local to SF and looking for loin gear check these shops:

DWNTWN Skate Supply is currently carrying  I <3 TL tee, logo tee and zipper hoodie. They’re even rocking the stickers on the shop door.

Citizen Chain and Box Dog bikes picked up the Nathan Lee series and the Victory hoody. We love cycling as much as skating, so this rules.

As always, you can visit the online store to view and purchase the complete lineup.

the loin Art Show @ Cafe Royal

September 29th, 2009

Here’s the postcard from the show. It was a blast, thanks everyone for coming out and purchasing loin gear. More shows to come.

We were unable to pull off Brett Amory’s awesome work. He’s working on a different series geared to our limitations because we prefer to print in house. Thanks Brett. We’ll revisit his first round when we have the resources. We’ll be sure to let you know when the new work is coming together. We can’t wait.

Chris Conlin and Nathan Lee both had a great series for the line launch. We’re hoping to see more from them in the future, for the loin and others. the loin is stoked to collaborate with them.
