As I moved into this new warehouse I kept coming back to the idea of building something of my own around headwear. Not just another cap brand, but developing silhouettes, dialing in colors, and taking the time to get the quality right.
I started doing small, selective production runs for a few brands, keeping it tight so every detail was where it needed to be. That process really shaped what this is becoming. Iosupply.xyz
The Magarigawa Club.
Last December I visited the club for its first Bososai Festival, and it was an incredible event. The cars on display were next level, and watching them run the track made it even better. This time was a little different, as I was invited back for the full tour and a chance to drive the circuit. After walking thousands of steps at last night’s Luft event, my injured left ankle was begging for rest… but my right foot had other plans. We were going.
This place is what dreams are made of. From the architecture, the air-conditioned pit lounge to the views of the track from every vantage point in the clubhouse, it’s incredible. Thank you to the Magarigawa staff and Jam for the invite. Looking forward to seeing you guys more often.
Leave your ego behind. Recently @issuedobjects held a meet at Pier 50 in San Francisco. Great cars and even better conversations. Join us for the next one.
These are some studio flicks I took of recent pickups from @designercon back in November. Between installs, meetings, and moving around all weekend, I managed to add a few pieces to the collection, including this @og_slick vinyl art figure featuring his signature LA sign.
This one hit. Dodger-inspired colors, strong presence, and it came as a two-figure set for the price of one. Solid deal and an easy add to the collection. Clean execution, heavy LA energy, and just tough overall.
Still haven’t had the chance to get any signed since I’m usually working nonstop during the show, but hopefully one day we can sit and chop it up. Until then, appreciation and respect for the work.

15 Years ago I had a Grand Opening for the Fatlace Paddock. I invited my guys Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Bukue One to bless us with a performance. Little did we know the scene would be as big as it is today. We were just doing our thing and having fun. A few years later I invited del to open our first Illest store in SoCal. What great times.
Yesterday was a chill one but the @tracksidesimracing turnout was wild.
The battles went crazy and the prizes were even crazier.
Congrats to the winners and thanks to everyone who pulled up just to vibe and hang with us.
Big shout to @sightandsoundbydjerok for keeping the music smooth all day.

Back in 2010, I had this idea to throw an event in Japan called Hellaflush. I’d been sitting on it for years since we were already doing events in the US, but working corporate made it tough to pull off. Once I stepped out on my own, I finally had the chance to make it real.
Our vibe was never about big trophies or who rolled in with the biggest crew. It was about style. About how you showed up. It wasn’t about how much money you dropped on your build either. If we liked your car, you got an award. And at the end of the day, everyone left with something.
That’s what made Hellaflush different.
That’s what made it special.
More stories soon…

#TakeMeBack Well @danielbooty_ did, captured the #E36touring on our morning bakery run like its the 90’s. Still deciding which #Renown to put inside. 🏁
Thought about adding Manthey parts but we don’t have tracks in California that will actually activate that upgrade. Instead I decided to build up my S14 drift car and finish the AE86. Such a better decision imo cause I can’t wait to slide this thing next week. #S14 #ae86 #gt3rs
Heading out to compete on this new show coming soon from @thehoonigans / let’s see how this stock motor AE86 holds up! Shout out to Carlin @ipautodesign for always taking care of the cars. #AE86 #hoonigan #w463
