Schmack Clothing

Urban Style Direct is proud to announce that we will be carrying items from Schmack Clothing. Schmack features crazy prints, comic-book inspired graphics, and bright colors. Their clothing is definitely different - don't expect the same recycled designs that so many other brands are using! Rumor has it they were started in by two friends in Virginia with only tee shirt designs. Within 6 months they got themselves into all kinds of stores - surf n’ skate shops, boutiques, and “alternative rock n' roll stores”. Within 8 months they were picked up in Japan.

They do sell their gear directly from their website - unfortunately a bunch of their hottest gear is sold out.

With all the print tees and hoodies out there Schmack does a good job staying above the clutter. Checkout the Schmack Galaxy Hoody. Beam me up Scotty! We also got our hands on some of their denim - check the Schmack Ka Neival Jean. The denim looks sharp and features star embroidery on the fifth and back pockets.

LRG - Spring 2007

Unlike their website, LRG's gear is always hot and up to date. This urban fashion leader continues to impress and their spring 2007 collection is no exception. LRG has done it again with a strong showing in the track jacket department and denim field.

Every season LRG throws a wild item or 2 into their release and this spring its the LRG Antigua Woven Polo. It comes in numerous colors and is very busy.

As always expect full LRG collections at Urban Style Direct like the Infantree Collection that consists of a fit, tee, short and zip up hoody. However, be warned this collection is not for the faint - it is a print collection featuring baby blue.

One area where they did miss their mark was on this Spring Dangerfield Tee. The purple doesn’t look that great and it doesn’t help that it has an interested text plastered across the text in some "less than appealing" text.

Expect Urban Style Direct to be getting the LRG summer shipment in the next 4 to 6 weeks, so check back then OR just sign up for the email newsletter which will definitely feature the new LRG when it arrives.
