Taximony Thermal Shirt
There are several different approaches to staying warm in cold weather. Layering is an effective method with which one can control their body temperature on day that starts off cool and gets progressively chillier through the evening. Freshjive’s Taximony Thermal Shirt makes for a great base layer when applying this equation. With its large Henley collar, the Taximony Thermal can be worn underneath a crew neck or collard shirt with out competing for space or attention. Similarly, the weight of the fabric itself is heavy enough to keep one warm when layered with other pieces, but light enough to be comfortable and ...

Southbay Pullover
Named for the South Bay region of Los Angeles which is comprised of the coastal cities from Manhattan Beach down to Long Beach, this Warriors of Radness pullover is made of 100% cotton. Lighter than a traditional jersey sweatshirt, the Southbay Pullover is another great layering piece to help keep you warm. A perfect second layer, the pullover is loose fitting and has two reinforced pockets on the front for your hands. The extra lining helps to help keep the wind off your hands which is a great first step to keeping the rest of one’s body warm as your extremities ...

Gay Sunshine
Sex really does sell. Even on cardboard, you’re able to get your point across. While this image is pretty bizarre, what’s truly fascinating is the artist’s desire to create it. Who would’ve thought. This is definitely one to add to the collection.

Monsoon Jacket
“Monsoon is traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by seasonal changes in precipitation, but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea. Usually, the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally-changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase.” That definition is a little on the academic side, Monsoons are one of the most powerful forces of nature bring both high winds and heavy rains. Luckily, we here on the west coast don’t have to don’t have to endure a ...

Terrington Jacket
“It’s a cold world out there. Sometimes I feel like I’m getting a little frosty myself.” So says Meg in Lawrence Kasdan’s 1983 classic, The Big Chill. As November ushers in Fall Meg’s quote takes on a more literal meaning as the temperature dips when the sun sets one hour earlier than it did just a few days earlier. While we may not see the leaves change colors and fall in Los Angeles we do have our own version of this autumnal right of passage: the falling of the palm fronds. On those windy nights that shake the fronds from ...

Seniority Cardigan
Perched on the hill top of Griffith Park just east of the Hollywood sign, sits LA’s gateway to the stars, Griffith Observatory. Opening in 1935, on lands donated by Col. Griffith, the observatory has been an iconic part of Los Angeles’ landscape ever since. Griffith Observatory was made famous by its appearance in Nicholas Ray’s Rebel Without a Cause. It is at the observatory that the story’s tale of teenage angst and alienation has some of its most violent and memorable sequences, e.g. Jim’s knife fight with Buzz, and Plato’s standoff with the police. After being remodeled in 2003, Griffith ...

Windwarmer Pullover
Zuma Beach is possibly one of SoCal’s most famous beaches. The subject of both song and story, Zuma is known round the world for both its surf and long, wide sandy beaches. Just southeast of Zuma is the less well known Point Dume. Named after Francisco Dumetz of Mission San Buenaventura by George Vancouver in 1793, Point Dume was misspelled on Vancouver’s map and has never been corrected. Where Zuma has the surf, Dume has the rocks and inlets that make for great beach walking and rock climbing. The tide creates sandy shelves on the beach from which one can ...
