Skull Skates and Granted
Posted by Minphis | Filed under Custom Design, Mens
We are very proud to say that we have produced 2 styles of sweaters for the Vancouver based iconic skateboard brand Skull Skates. These 2 styles come in very limited numbers and can be purchased here .
Skull Skates began in April of 1978 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It’s founders were the Ducommun brothers (Rick- who has skateboarded since the mid sixties and Peter (P.D.)- who began skateboarding in 1972). To this day Skull Skates has is still going strong in skateboard/skimboard scene. Their style has been influencing skaters and skateboard culture to all the corners of the world.
You can find anything from Skull skates clothing, shoes, longboards, skimboards bicycles and of course skateboards at their Vancouver headquarters store or you can purchase online.
“Skating since you were in your Dad’s nut sack”- Skull Skates.
All I have to say to that is sweet.

Sitka and Granted
Posted by Minphis | Filed under Custom Design, Mens, Unisex, Womens
We are proud to release a collaboration project with a local Canadian surf brand, Sitka . The unisex sweaters include the “howling wolf” design in different colourways.
These sweaters can be purchased online here or at your nearest finest Sitka retailer.
Sitka:
The name Sitka derives from the mighty Sitka Spruce, a tree naturally drawn to the rugged shorelines of Western Canada; our family grew from the same endeavor.
The seed was sown in the Fall of 2002 when two Canadian surfers, Andrew Paine and Rene Gauthier, with their shared passion and vision for making surfboards, decided to take their hobby out of the garage and offer a fresh possibility to the local surfing population.
While surfing always has and will continue to be the heart of our brand, Sitka’s nexus has expanded to encompass all of the elements that inspirit the lifestyle of our family – surf, skate, music, art, culture and travel
Granted designs Don Cherry sweater for WORN Fashion journal
Posted by Minphis | Filed under Custom Design, Media, Mens
Granted was requested by WORN Fashion Journal to contribute to their Don Cherry fashion article “Cherry picking”. Don Cherry is an opinionated, controversial, and best of all, sartorially splendid Canadian icon. WORN Fashion Journal invited six artists and designers from across the country to reinterpret his image, garnering results that may rival Don’s wardrobe in their diversity.
Inspiration behind this sweater was the iconic chunky knit sweater of the Canadian West Coast. The dog pattern was modeled after Mr.Cherry’s late dog Blue that was featured in many early “Rock em’ sock em” videos. The overall colourway was taken from the days of his coaching years with the Boston Bruins. His nickname “Grapes” is placed on the back like a hockey jersey.
WORN Fashion journal discusses the cultures, subcultures, histories, and personal stories of fashion. We strive to embody a place between pop culture magazine and academic journal that opens new avenues in art and fashion theory by hovering where these two ideas intersect, connecting with fashion scholars and artists.
You can find an issue of WORN Fashion journal here or take a look at their blog .
Saturday, super rad, sunny, spring, Seymour, snowboarding session…..

Saturday, super rad, sunny, spring, Seymour, snowboarding, session with Shota.
Ssssweeet!
This weekend the local ski hills were closed for the season but my friends and I decided to hike up Seymour and get some spring riding in. The day started off with weird weather. First there was sun, then clouds, then rain, and then to our surprise some snow! What was even more surprising was we had seen a bear. He was climbing trees and doing rad methods! We brought out our cameras and what we saw was amazing!
After our day on the hills we went home and looked through the photos. We soon realized the bear was just our friend Shota in our Bear mask sweater and retro hockey toque and mittens! Stupid us!
True West Coast Canadian style.
