new years resolution: get more mishka :)

also excited to see what you did for the ladies!

[thepaintedbird]

Guys I don't think it's a ladies line, they always get girls to model.
I'm pretty stoked on a new motorcycle jacket & Keep Watch shorts, though.

i dunno if that jacket is for ladies or not but there will be ( or this is ) this jacket for men, too. :)

[Meat Bun Mike]

idk the fit seems more for a lady

you can see its like an hourglass shape

and it looks like leggings

Yeah, they're leggings. Saw them this summer at some Mishka party.

But I think there are Keep Watch shorts coming for men too? Thought I remember someone bitching about 'em. >:(

I threw PM your way..... I have been trying to get a hold of Greg for a minute but to no avail. I have worked on an img for a future project and wondered if he got it.....

CHeck PM's if interested.....peace homie.

PMing, Hypbeast, Myspace, etc, etc. not the best way to get a hold of us.

email the info@mishkanyc. Someone will get back to you if it's something we're interested in.

Yeah man, no worries. I do understand the whole open forum PM, Myspace deal is not the most reliable for m of communication but I have been trying to get back in touch w/him for a minute. We had been talking via e-mail for a minute prior to my relocation. I suppose I'll just wait and see then. Thanks.

[IIIVIR_Boss]

just a quick question...

how long should i wait until i wash my ....ALEXEI SELVAGE - UNSTARCHED INDIGO

i"ve been wearing them almost everyday since Dec. 19

[tomoffin]

^leggings? I'll cop those for my girl for sure.

Btw, thanks for the top tens (and thirteens) in the bloglin, I had a lot of fun reading those at work!

[tomoffin]

just a quick question...

That depends on what you want - If youre looking for maximum fading, creases or honeycombs, you should wait for at least 3 (preferrably 6) more months.:)

Personally I think you should wash them when they stink and can't be worn anymore..

Direct quote from the Mishka site:
Since these are raw (meaning they are unwashed) we also recommend not washing them right away! Wear them to loosen them up, and continue wearing them for a few weeks or for optimal fading, 6 months, before washing them. When you decide to wash our raw denim we recommend only a light rinse in cold water to loosen some of the color around the whiskering that will bring out the unique flavor you have created with your jeans!

[IIIVIR_Boss]

Thanks yea my jeans dont stink well not yet. but yea i think i can go 6 months without a wash

Thanks

[Dany Yamz]

So now a question from left field, how strong will those leggings be? By that I mean if a rather large man was to don a pair & maybe perform simulated acts of violence in them, well would that even be feasible?

[My Pal the Crook]

Thanks yea my jeans dont stink well not yet. but yea i think i can go 6 months without a wash

Thanks

I actually almost never wash my jeans. The only time I do is if I want them to shrink back after months of stretching and wear.

If they start getting funky, you can also throw them into the freezer for a night.

[My Pal the Crook]

Dany,

I have no clue how to even answer you! They're cotton, not nylon leggings. I assume you're thinking about wrestling in them?

[sasquach]

who do i contact if i want to change the ship to address on my order? since i placed the order on xmas day, would it be too late?

my unexpert opinion would be shoot an e-mail to info@mishkanyc.com duder.
or... click on the "Contact" option @ the mishka site and fill that joint out.

[Suedehead]

/\/\/\
Dont know if its too late, I just checked on my order from XMAS and its been shipped :) SO check on your order and see the status on it and change it if its still pending and what not or ask MyPalTheCrook or GregMishka.8)

[sasquach]

i totally fogot to mention this but.. i got 86'd from a drinking establishment back in Nov. for scrawling a particular web address on a wall :(
I've heard it hasnt been painted over yet so hopefully those who see it are czeching it out!

[modernART]

i'll be sure to hit them up and my order is actually still pending, so hopefully it's not too late.

[My Pal the Crook]

Shoot it to info. but the warehouse/online store staff won't be back in until Monday. but they will let you know. usually it's never an issue.

[UKingdom]

i'm going to nyc next week, is there still a popup store or warehouse sale or anything like that where i can pickup mishka retail?

[Skywalk3r]

the blackhawks do look pretty superior i gotta agree

[nick]

Pal and/or greg,
Any chance on there ever being an xsmall in some of the tops or jackets?
I know that it's a long shot, but you could always add a few to your orders when you have them sent over to the factories.

Anyway, I'm glad to see both of you all here in the forum more recently!

[JKISSI]

mishka def one of my favorite streetwear brands still doing their thing... props to guys

I am from there, but have my store in Michigan now. I go back a decent amount. Was in for Thanksgiving and Timebomb (Shadyside) had some Mishka as well as a new store on Carson St. near Ulterior Motive called Spot 412 or Shop 412. You should check them out, not the best selection but they had some stuff...

Pal for teh winz with that one!

[sasquach]

ive never seen any mishka at zumies..

not all locations stock the same ish.. I have 2 zumiez somewhat near me and only one of them stocks Mishka. Barely, but they carry a few tee's.

[alex.]

yeah there were mishka tees at zumies online. i wanted that cyrilic box tee off there but they dont ship to europe : P

[sasquach]

6 pages in 4 days, more activity from Pal, and new posters.. I'd say its bubblin and about to pop

[sasquach]

As a normal zumiez shopper, who's gonna really buy "that shirt on the rack over there written in some language i cant read"?
And if they do decide to buy it, and then later on find that there's a treasure chest of mishka goods awaiting them online and decide to drape themselves in it, whats wrong with that?
Mishka makes more money and gets more exposure. :)
Im just worried that if too many people hop aboard the S.S. Mishka, were gonna have a Supreme like dilemma going on where barely any of us can get the goods before they're sold out and re-sold on ebay for ridiculous prices.

[R0BERT]

exactly!

[sasquach]

i gotta say though, i am ALWAYS looking on ebay for something and i check multiple times a day for mishka stuff and rarely do i see what appears to be a seller who has gobbled up mass quantities of sale priced items to resell @ rape prices.
But... Anything could happen as time goes on.
It seems to me though that most people who buy mishka stuff buy to wear, not to fence.

[R0BERT]

This is very true. I rarely see Mishka being sold in the Marketplace section compared to other brands.

[xkaichaix]

pal,
will we see the leatherneck making a comeback?
leatherneck should be one of your staple release like Sergei,

that's the only short that i thought was "original" & cool at the same time...
:)

[sasquach]

ehh theyd prob ask an employee wholl say ish out of his @$#

i remeber once when i went there and the employees kept trying to push me to buy some supras and told me to check out theyre nike SBs when they sell 6.0s.....

i guess i was trying to say, most people who go to zumiez go to get something that they already know is there you know?
diamond and co, obey, dc, dgk, etc..
in my estimation, especially in the world today, it seems as though its gonna take alot more for a person to really take a chance on rocking a particular clothing brand w/o doing research and/or getting peer approval.

For me, what really caught my eye and made me pay attention was the Bear Mop logo. Its a simple line drawing, but its done w/ a graff twist.
Being a graff nut and then realizing that mishka, like myself, were driven by alot of the same ideals/interests, i was sold.
For me, its like finding that song, or what poem, or that.. whatever, that really speaks to you and really truly embodies some/all aspects of yourself.
I think on a subconscious level too that some of us who dont want Mishka to "fall into the wrong hands" feel as though this brand is OURS, because we "Feel" it to a certain degree.. ya dig?
end rant, and feel free to let me know if NONE of this hits the target, but i think it makes sense. Then again, it could be the guinness talking ;)

[Jarshy]

I'm disappointing in all of you :(

I lol'd

and I feel ya Sasquach. It's just like having a favorite that gets all big on MTV, and suddenly you're labeled as one of "those" kids. I can't even tell you how many times I've been called emo for listening to Death Metal and such... but then again the people that call me that are complete idiots.
Either way ima rep Mishka. They make clothes inspired by all the things I'm into. bout it bout it! 8)

Agreed! I think I have 13 keep watch related items, my girlfriend said i'm not allowed to get anymore clothes with the eyeball on it. I'm so done when those keep watch board shorts drop..

LoL, my g/f HATES the "eyeball", she HATES my keep watch items w/ a fiery passion!

[stratusfire]

LoL, my g/f HATES the "eyeball", she HATES my keep watch items w/ a fiery passion!

Haha yeah, I don't get it either. She likes the death adder and cyco-simon and everything else, but hates the eyeball for some reason. I think i'm gonna buy her the pillows this spring, heh.

[xkaichaix]

maybe coz the eyeball keep watching her...

[Nasty Nate]

My girlfriend likes the eyeball. Actually she likes most the stuff mishka does.

[My Pal the Crook]

Hmmm... I didn't know girls felt so strongly against the eyeball! We actually used it on a lot on Women's items. Most girls we know all generally like it, I guess we'll soon see though.

Denim: We're not going to be embellishing on it anytime soon. Personally I'm not that into it and it makes it harder for you to keep those jeans as "go-to" denim. I will say that the rivets and buttons on all the denim will soon be switched however to molded keep watch eyeball. Maybe that's a happy medium. It's subtle, but nice little detail when someone notices it.

Collabs: The next thing we have planned is a Custom Shop tee. Then a few things here and there mostly with Japanese labels. We're going to (hopefully) going more and more into toys.

[R0BERT]

My girlfriend likes all Mishka except for shirts like "He's a Whore" and "Get a Job". She likes the Keep Watch eye but cannot STAND Cyco Simon. Maybe it's the horn ?)?)?)

[xkaichaix]

good to know Pal,eyeball for the buttons is great addition to the denim,
i know that MNWKA wouldn't go tooo far,by stiching eyeballs on the ass...

[My Pal the Crook]

My girlfriend likes all Mishka except for shirts like "He's a Whore" and "Get a Job". She likes the Keep Watch eye but cannot STAND Cyco Simon. Maybe it's the horn ?)?)?)

Maybe she's not seeing it as a skull. I've come to discover a few people's eyes register it as a devil face in profile/side view with the cheek (if you see it as simon) as a hooked nose.

[theworstkids]

patches would be cool for those who want 10 eyeballs on their back pockets

[R0BERT]

Oh snap I never saw it like that! I just asked her and she quickly pointed out the nose in the middle so she was looking at it the right way too. She reads the Bloglin so she's seen this before:

Oh well, I'm still keeping my all over Simon Polo.

[Nasty Nate]

^ keeper.

for sure

and thats is exciting about the rivets and buttons on the pants, and also about the toys. i love me some kaiju!

[tomoffin]

My girlfriend likes all Mishka except for shirts like "He's a Whore" and "Get a Job".

I guess it's the same with mine. My GF likes the more simple designs but seems to really like Mishka's use of colors.. I tried to wear get a job yesterday when my parents came to visit but she ordered me to change.:( and for some reason she absolutely hates the adam bomb logo.

BTW, which color he's a whore you got? I got the purple one and neeeeed the green one, I'm obsessed about it hahaha

And someone mentioned cargo pants, I'd buy them..

[xkaichaix]

i don't buy hype toys that cost more than a premium denim.
i just don't

[sasquach]

dammit, i totally forgot about that get a job tee!! i meant to pick that up from digital gravel a while back when they had that "accelerating" sale.. :(

[sasquach]

Pal/Greg~

Whats crackenin w/ the Goblin line? Anything new on the horizon?

[xkaichaix]

pal,
MNWKA didn't get involved in the DG Water Project?
or is it a LA thing,


would love to get my hand on the DG x MNWKA tee.....
most of the brand there................

[My Pal the Crook]

Well the Get A Job shirt I can see not being girlfriend friendly unless you guys are both total dirtbags!

I don't know anything abut a water project i'm afraid

[gregmishka]

You talking about the wood goblin?

[Suedehead]

My girl personally loves the "Keep Watch" eye ball, Waiting on Boundless to get new MISHKA items since she has 100+ store credit thru them 8)
Cant wait to see the new denim, cant wait to see the new Cut & Sew in general haha8)

[Nasty Nate]

i just cant wait for the spring line!

[stratusfire]

My birthday is in the middle of march so i'll have lots of scrilla for the spring drop, it all works out perfectly..

[Nasty Nate]

Ha mine is too!

[Suedehead]

8)Damn, MISHKA package wont be here till the 8th....Cant wait.
And dont have a clue when my DeathAdders Varsity will show up from DG.
Anyone else still waiting on Xmas buys? haha

[edmoney90]

Yeah I am, it's scheduled for tomorrow

[sasquach]

^ I are still waiting too =( I placed 3 orders and they are all still "pending"

[nisco]

uaually most girls like the one eye-d monster....

[Suedehead]

Word, Anyone know when DG starts shipping out stuff from the holiday sale?....I thought I heard someone say the 7th.?)

[sasquach]

I dont get how ppl are already getting their Mishka orders? I understand those on the east coast getting theirs, but if Suede lives in L.A... ?)
oh well, it'll just be that much better when it finally does get here

[Suedehead]

/\/\/\
Where do you stay at Sasquash??

[sasquach]

Oregon
** I think there was something like, 500 orders between my 1st and 3rd order so i'm not expecting all my shit to be here tomorrow or anything; taking into consideration too the holidays and vacation time etc..
I'm sure a lot of people ordered even before the online sale so that's prolly got sumpthin to do with it
Also, i gots no idea how the wonderful folks @ mishka go about getting orders out either. Whether its by physical order #, dollar amount, last name, locale, etc..

I can just picture a 10x speed montage in my head of people running around the mishka office filling boxes and doing beer bongs full of red bull!

[mlwdp]

Any plans in the future to do a popup/store in LA?

[Suedehead]

/\/\/\
Word thats what me and my good pal Johnny Cupcakes where talking about yesterday,We both agreed MISHKA has the cut&sew game on lock & LOS ANGELES NEEDS A MISHKA POP UP SHOP ASAP. haha

Shitt you could count me on in if its in the Hollywood/Melrose&Fairfax area.

[My Pal the Crook]

I'll be honest with you guys, we've explored this. And while there is a lot of you on this board who are West coast based, it just isn't anything compared to our East coast fan base or even just Japan!

We've run west coast based sample sales, and the attendance was truthfully sad when compared to what happens out here.

And I know it's a Catch-22. How do you build more west coast fans? Open a store! But can you support a store when you don't have the west coast fan base to begin with? We'll see what happens though...

[Nasty Nate]

if you open one is the bay area, like san francisco, count me in. ill work there, even though i have to commute from the east bay. like 40 minutes on bart. its worth it though. i love you guys.

[Nasty Nate]

ya. i think there are alot of people who are afraid to order online.

[stratusfire]

Haha all of my mishka gear is bought online and ebay, there's only like one store in the entire city here that stocks it and they haven't received anything since spring.

[Nasty Nate]

ya, all my mishka gear is from online. there is one store around me that carries it.

[Gaskill]

http://mishkanyc.com/bloglin/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/bloglinawk.jpg


Just because New Years has come and gone doesn't mean you have to stop raging!
We are proud to announce our official online exclusive (http://www.mishkanyc.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=0_26&products_id=959) t-shirt collaboration with the hard partying blood-faced rocker Andrew W.K. and Eastwest (http://www.eastwestworldwide.com/) of Long Island.
Take note: like many party drugs we can't guarantee that this tee will give you superhuman strength keep you awake til the sun comes up, but don't let that hold you back from putting this shirt on (or taking it off for that matter)!
Seriously, don't be a lightweight, get with the program and rip it up til you can't stand up in 2009!

[Nasty Nate]

nice!

[xkaichaix]

Haha all of my mishka gear is bought online and ebay, there's only like one store in the entire city here that stocks it and they haven't received anything since spring.


what he said,being from out of the States,my only source is Online shop,
there's a few that really have good customer service & such,
i've been buying from MNWKA online shop,no probs.


Mind you,my postage sometimes double or triple some of you guys here,
sometimes,when things are tooo accessible,ppl tend to underappreciate it.


enough of the RANT...

[Jarshy]

My order is still pending too, but from the sticker comment I think the wait will be worth it &) Also can't wait to see if I got the calender or a tee from oredering over 250$ worth of gear. chyaaa boiiiii

[Chicken Nugget]

when is MNWKA's Anniversary?
the day of the conception?

[Nasty Nate]

good question
maybe the first day that they started sellin their shit

[My Pal the Crook]

when is MNWKA's Anniversary?
the day of the conception?

We just had our 5th Anniversary this past September

[Nasty Nate]

but is it based off the day that the line was concived or the day you started selling your clothing?

[xkaichaix]

We just had our 5th Anniversary this past September


same month as my b'day....
cool.8)

did you guys do any anniversary tees?

[My Pal the Crook]

but is it based off the day that the line was concived or the day you started selling your clothing?

I have no clue of the actual day... September is around when I first started taking around linesheets. The idea was probably conceived probably in may or June of '03

[Nasty Nate]

oh sick. ok

[sasquach]

could an item be successfully ordered off the mishka site if it wasnt actually in-stock?

[Nasty Nate]

yeah
that happened to me a while ago

[My Pal the Crook]

could an item be successfully ordered off the mishka site if it wasnt actually in-stock?

if you ordered it it should have been in stock. If not someone would have emailed you telling of the error

[stratusfire]

That party looked badass, kudos to having Fucked Up play, theyre great

[sasquach]

How much of what you do design wise is personal preference, and how much is an eye for whats gonna be successful?
I remember one of you guys stating that your collexions are planned out/produced waaay before they drop so do you guys have like the spidey sense or whuut?

[Nasty Nate]

they have spidey senses

We basically make whatever we want to see made. We brainstorm, employees make suggestions and we go forward. Sometimes it's in sync and on the rise of some hot trend, sometimes it's way out of sync and other time we're a bit early on things. There are also certain things we just see as staple carryovers and re-work a bit each season.

But we also listen to what our stores and fans want. Like we never used to make logo tees, until people and stores kept demanding them.

I also do a lot of people watching and see what I think is working and what can be twisted, made better or refined. And other times we just strictly follow a theme or concept.

Right now we're in prelims of Spring '10

How far ahead is stuff manufactured?

[My Pal the Crook]

How far ahead is stuff manufactured?

Manufacturing doesn't start until 3 months before delivery, and it's shipped to stores as soon as it's all done.

[Nasty Nate]

It all seems like a long time, but that's pretty quick that that all happens.

[xkaichaix]

i think most of MNWKA stuff is on point.
the only cutting that i don't like is the STRYPER polo,
the cut is kinda short & kinda wide,

the most perfect fit for me,is the leatherneck

[xkaichaix]

why is my avatar is so damn small??

I know what you mean, still dope polo though. Salmon and blue stryper is fucking great.

[xkaichaix]

yeah,the STRYPER color combo is nice,maybe MNWKA should make it into 4 color stripe polo,like Ben Sherman or Fred Perry,&)


Oi,Oi,Oi!

[xkaichaix]

i think Amulet Of the Goblin & MNWKA should be in 1 thread?

[Dany Yamz]

dany,what's the brand of blue checkered shirt?

I'll preface this by saying that the shirt in question usually gets me compliments & question as to where its availabe. I got it from the old navy website & its currently on sale for like 10 bucks

are the death adder new eras the 100% wool ones or some material combo?

Cap says 100% wool

[xkaichaix]

thanks for the info,bro

[My Pal the Crook]

I know what you mean, still dope polo though. Salmon and blue stryper is fucking great.

I'll be honest. I was personally never happy with how the Stryper and any other subsequent Polo's came out. The Stryper was one of our first items in dealing with overseas production and a lot of mistakes were made.

A few months back I invested a bunch of time in revisiting the polo, moving production elsewhere in the hopes that we make a perfectly cut one. it won't be out till this summer, and it's very basic, but I'm so far very happy with it.

[Nasty Nate]

There is something about polos in general that I don't like. I like all the ones you male, but I wouldn't wear them.

[My Pal the Crook]

There is something about polos in general that I don't like. I like all the ones you male, but I wouldn't wear them.

I was like that for a long while, but started liking them more as I got older. I still personally don't wear them all that much because i don't think they fit my personal style usually. But I do think they look really great on some people.

Well I think the cyco-simon polo fits really well and it's the only polo I own in which the collar hasn't started to warp. But in regards to your stryper the polo was really the only item that was off to me. I have a styper crew and the sweater and those fit great.

[Nasty Nate]

Will change too.

I have that same shirt and a few others from Old Navy! Good stuff!
Btw, if you dont have a green river or D-E D flannel yet Dany, you're missing out. Way more comfortale than the afformentiond pieces, AND w/ the pearl snap buttons, you dont have to worry about your damn buttons falling off!

You suck. I wanted those so much.

[Chicken Nugget]

Wow, this thread really blew up in the past weeks. Used to only be the regulars like nasty nate, rockburn, A!ex and a few people... Now mishka is on and poppn! lol

[Nasty Nate]

mishka has some new fans this year

[stratusfire]

i want those tooo.... how do they fit tho?? any shoe similar to the fit??

They fit great. I can't really compare them to another shoe, there a bit different than the creative recs or nikes I usually wear.

can't wait,but you need to experiment with other polo material also,so it will last longer.Ben Sherman Polo is an example,the material is quite nice,eventhough most of the mass produce is Made In Thailand.

[sasquach]

hopefully every from the SOTS still posts here to get it really poppin

I think damn near all of us from SOTS are madd active on HB

I wear nothing but Ben Sherman when it comes to dress shirts and things of that sort and everything ive got is on point so far.
It also helps I live close to the Beverly Center and get to hit the BS sales at the right time, Ive copped $200+ worth of stuff before and only spent $40 8)

I hope MISHKA drops some nice fitted long sleeve polos in the near future :)

[stratusfire]

i just hope they drop some longsleeves
i need more.

[sasquach]

i dont get why noone in the states wants to stock mishka l/s tees¿

[stratusfire]

they just needs to release a pair of boxers and then I can truly wear head to toe mishka

[sasquach]

^ that would be pretty sick

[Nasty Nate]

they need boxers and more shoes because i didnt get the ones that just dropped sadly.
then i can wear it head to toe as well.

[sasquach]

i cant wait for the keep watch aviator personally. and i would be first in line to cop a Mishka Ushanka if they ever dropped one! My uncle brought me one back from russia when i was a wee lad and i loved that thing!!

[Nasty Nate]

ya, i think i might get the avaitor
gotta think about it.

[Skywalk3r]

l/s polo would be real on point, like a rugby or whatever

[xkaichaix]

they do have boxers for this coming season,
Keep Watch Boxer,if what i see is right,


just google Mishka '09 :)

[xkaichaix]

me like some Rugby shirt with deathadder on the front,
the quality need to the same spec as Rugby jersey8)

I'm afraid to inform you guys we aren't making boxers. What I'm pretty sure you saw was a very bad early sample of board shorts that should have never been leaked anywhere.

Ouch!i just got burned.....who's behind MashCulture anyway?
how did they get the pictures of the upcoming releases?

[My Pal the Crook]

Ouch!i just got burned.....who's behind MashCulture anyway?
how did they get the pictures of the upcoming releases?

Because one of our distributors mistakenly emailed them to the wrongpeople and mashkulture after repeated emails never took them down or got back to anyone. So needless to say we wont be doing them any favors anytime soon.

[xkaichaix]

luckily nobody post that picture here,
i wanted to,but i don't think it was proper for me to post it here,when guys from MNWKA also in this thread,

Yeah. I was thinking about doing it, but figured if they wanted to see it then they could search for it themselves.




I need some new boxers! Help me out mishka!
