Throwback Thursday: First Blood Pom Beanie

A lot of you have probably never seen this. We developed it in late 2008 and there's probably only 10 of these that exist. 

I don't remember why we made it, but everyone here was in agreement that it was fucking awesome. I think we were all watching Rambo movies back to back at the time.  And 2008 the rebirth of streetwear happened and everyone made crazy looking stuff that prolly had a year lifespan. 

Unfortunately we never went into production in it. I still have at least one of them.

I wear it when I go hunting. 

For people. 

Throwback Thursday: The Bug

Throughout the day i'll be posting some photos I found in our archives. Gonna kick the show off with one of our first retailers. The trunk of a car. 

Technically the first car Casual was sold out of was Brendan's Suburu. The Bug was Casual's first offical company car. Dano would drive to La Push with a trunk full of ziploc-ed hoodies and sell them at the coast. 

The Bug was deemed "The Mexican Taxi." According to Dano, in Mexico all the taxi's were VW bugs without a passenger seat. This front seat was removed primarily to fit a surfboard and also double as a overnight sleeping space. 

I took the photo above while still an intern in 2007. I remember wanting to shit my pants the first time i rode in it. The back seat was down and I held on to a seat belt and an "oh-shit-handle" on our way to Yummy. 

As many have read a few days ago, the Bug has seen better days. Dano no longer drives it. It resides in the yard symbolizing our humble beginnings. 

Let's not forget, it played a huge part in The Trash Hoop Diaries part 1 and part 2.

Throwback Thursdays...

Just found the mothership of old Casual photos. Gonna be posting some of the "good ol' days" every other hour tomorrow. Kinda crazy to see how far we've come.
