New Los Angeles based label Commune now has their website up with their new Winter/Holiday ‘06 Collection. The collection features three new premium items – a varsity jacket, a pilot jacket, and a hoody. These pieces look very well made with fine attention to material and detail. The varsity jacket sports a faux croc material around the chest and back area. The pilot jacket (a collaborative piece with the LowerRight Company) on the other hand, contains zippered pockets on the sleeve with both companies patches up front. Can’t wait to see more products to come out from this label. More images after the jump.
Lady Sovereign hooked up with Zoo York for a limited edition release of this skate deck.

The decks are limited to only 340 promo pieces and will definitely be tough to come by. Lady Sovereign album album PUBLIC WARNING is also out in stores now.
