The guys over at RELIC in Brooklyn recently did a collaboration with photographer Tommy Nease. They did a release on two different t-shirts which are made from 100% Egyptian Cotton. When you purchase a tee, it includes a 24″X36″ print of the photograph along with Tommy Nease’s Bio. Check out their t-shirts along with their awesome patch here.

Raised by Wolves has released their Spring / Summer 2012 Drop and one of the key eye-catching products that we wanted to feature on Anchor Division was their Hickory Waxed 5 panel hat. Solid construction with waxed cotton from Scotland and Made in the USA, these were all sold out pretty quick through the Raised by Wolves online shop. Fortunately, there are still a bunch left in Persona Premium Goods in Nashua, NH. Grab them while you still can.

For about 5-6 months now, i’ve recently been working along side my buddy Jeremy who runs Persona Premium goods in Nashua, NH and Lowell, MA. The Lowell mass store is geared more towards streetwear and the Nashua store, although carrying tons of streetwear, have opened accounts with many menswear-worthy brands. We have been doing quite a bit of teamwork to target a special group of people in the NH / MA who currently are looking for brands like Barbour, Marshall Artist, or Pendleton.
