Spotlight: Hurley Phantom Series

Continuing on our path to warmer weather, I bring you the Hurley Phantom Series boardshorts. The Phantoms are the most comfortable boardshorts money can buy.  They will cost a little more than your usual pair of Corona boardshorts from Target, but they will last a lot longer and they are much cooler than anything else on the market.  These boardshorts don’t hold water and they dry much faster than conventional trunks. All three of the pairs range in their fit and how much stretch they contain.  Each pair is different, but they are all equally revolutionary.  The rest of the story after the break.

Spotlight: G-Shock Watches

The G-Shock was the watch to have in the 90’s.  You weren’t cool unless you had a G-Shock watch.  Almost two decades later, nothing seems to have changed.  Everyone is rocking G-Shocks these day: rappers, athletes, celebs and everyone else.  I found three amazing watches among the cavalcade of watches G-Shock has in its stable.  Check out the watches after the break.

Spotlight: AG Adriano Goldschmied Jeans

AG is one of those brands I have seen in the denim sections for a while but just haven’t ever tried them on.  I don’t know why I haven’t, the jeans have a great look.  There is something about buying jeans from a company who primarily deals in jeans.  I just believe they take a little more time and energy on making their jeans the best.  Let’s check out some of the picks after the break.

Spotlight: Amongst Friends

I know I have been making lots of changes to the blog, so here’s one more.  Spotlight will become the new Tuesday and Thursday main post.  You are probably thinking that it’s the same posting as before.  You are right, I just changed the name to “Spotlight.”  Today’s spotlight is on "Amongst Friends,” a relatively new brand. It’s preppy with a little wild side.  I picked out three tees that I absolutely love and probably will pick up.  The tees all have the same theme, a movie theme.  They are photographs of scenes from different movies and movie stars.

First up “The Three Amigos,” quite possibly one of the funniest movies of the 80’s.  Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short star as Lucky Day, Dusty Bottoms and Ned Nederlander, three silent film stars hired after a woman sees their film and thinks it’s real.  The movie is great and the shirt captures a great moment, the amigos signature salute.    This is the exact movie I would chose to use on a t-shirt; a little obscure, but people will definitely give you compliments. I really haven’t experienced Amongst Friends in person, but it looks about the same fit and feel as Freshjive. If that’s the case then sign me up as a friend.

Another great 80’s movie “The Blues Brothers.” I am starting to think the designers at Amongst Friends have a serious thing for John Landis; he directed both of these movies.  The Blues Brothers was the epitome of cool in the 80’s; they had the sunglasses, the fedoras and the suits.  They were on a mission from god.  This shirt is great, just a shot of two friends hanging out.  I love photographs on t-shirts, they capture history and when done right they look amazing.  This happens to be one of those great photograph t-shirts.

Ok this one isn’t from a movie, but they are two very funny men. Rodney Dangerfield and Redd Foxx, two comedians who changed the comedy game forever.  Dangerfield with his great one liners and Foxx with raunchy act, when being raunchy wasn’t acceptable.  Two pioneers of comedy just shooting the shit.  What a great image and a great t-shirt.  This shirt come in either black or white, but the black really brings out the photograph. “Hey I get no respect.”

This is only a little of what Amongst Friends has to offer.  I checked out their website and I was blown away.  Lot’s of great buttons up, jackets and hunting style apparel. This is a great brand and with the current outdoor apparel trend this is a great place to find that style.  Amongst Friends is a brand you should keep on you radar. Why can’t we be friends.
