J. Jesse Project x NEIGHBORHOOD “Idle Hands” Collection Preview
by Staff, April 6, 2009
NEIGHBORHOOD are in the midst of releasing a new project with American skater, bike-builder, artist and all-around badass Jason Jesse. Seen as a popular cultural icon in Japan, NEIGHBORHOOD’s roots as a bike-inspired brand bode well with Jesse’s own outlaw mentality. Stay tuned for more details on the drop and check out the trailer to his “Pray for Me: The Jason Jesse Movie” for a better idea of what the man’s all about.

I love the swastika!!! Good stuff! SINNERS FOREVER!
I was really digging the M65.. until I saw the swastika. I’m all for making a statement but… that’s a little too bold a statement to make right now. I don’t know if I’ll be in the mood to argue with the random stranger who calls me out for what he perceives as an offensive piece of clothing.
sick
well said chris, thanks!
I agree with you about the upside down cross theory. Also I agree with B.M. (below) the Jewish star is offensive to people as well. (the christian cross also)
I with you JTARM…..peace out!
it’s weird neighborhood often uses symbols related to that kind of topic. like the iron cross or the strong eagle holding the svg sign. maybe they just want to do something different, to stand out of the crowd but imo it’s just ridiculous and almost pervers!
Looks great! Nice print job. The swazitka is a very peaceful symbol. It’s time to re deem it. I love this shirt.
What? I hear what you are saying, although I think the Moronic abuse is a bit harsh man.
Let’s look at it another way, the cross upside down is a sign of satansim, does this mean that Christians should be banned from using their symbol?
Isn’t this educating people about the true meaning of the Hindu’s holy symbol? Almost a reclaiming of it?
Having said all that it is probably a pr stunt to get us all talking….
swastika, or a star of david, who cares-they are both offensive. Although the swastika is less offensive than the star of david.
“Loving swaztika”
“Not feeling it”
are you seriously so deep into your own ego that you would accept the ‘peaceful’ meaning of it? or do you just wanna sound different and come out to be the comments that are more learned than the rest of us here? Peace or not, Although the fucking Nazi one is tilted, it is still socially unacceptable to be brandishing a swastika, 94% of people are ignorant and it would just be a dumb decision to wear it, put it on a shirt, or THINK it was a good idea.
Try being ‘peaceful’ and take a water marker, draw the ‘peace sign’ on your forearm, and see what happens to you the rest of the week. YOU PEOPLE ARE SO MORONIC
…uh, why not use the traditional peace sign. “…Naw, let’s use the other peace sign, the one similar to Hitlers Jew-slaughtering 3rd Reich’s!” … great job Japan, AGAIN.
funny they would use a Swastika since Jason Jessee went through a white supremacy phase. still not sure how serious he was about it though.
The idea of the Swastika’s is allright – but people will, undoubtedly, percieve this the wrong way. Not feelin’ ‘em!
Yeah I know, but try explaining that to everybody lookin at your jacket ;P
Oh Feeling the Hindu Swastika.
I’m all for peace in the shape of a swastika but the problem is that a lot of people still associate it with the wrong things. You can’t expect everyone too know the history behind it…
not feelin’ the swastika’s
Lovin the Swastika badge….this is the Hindu version before everybody kicks off, means peace not hate.
