March 1, 2011

To All of the friends and fans of INVS,

It’s been a great 41/2 years of business! Unfortunately, due to the economic condition INVS has closed its doors, although the ever so popular and growing INFINITE is taking over our location. INFINITE will carry a slew of brands including OBEY, Acapulco Gold, Crooks and Castles, Play Clothes, Rebel 8, GPPR and many more. We want to thank everyone that supported us over the years, it has been a really fun ride, but we are moving on to new endeavors. For anyone who has purchased anything in the recent past, we will of course honor the 14 day exchange policy. Thank you all again that were a part of our business, we couldn’t have done it without you, and we hope that while we were in business, we served you with the kindness and respect that we strived for.

Yours truly,

The INVS team

"What up homey!" - That's what I would say if I ran in to Jesus. Gems put a spin on the popular adult tee, and made it kid friendly. I think a person of any religion can agree that Jesus himself sounded like a pretty cool dude, and this playful tee shows it off!

Mister has just released their first knit, a hooded cardigan for the up coming cold. Equipt with elbow patches, they also added a folded cuff for extended wearability. The weight on these is perfect for a cool day/night or layering. I'd suggest wearing a button down shirt underneath, but is versatile enough to rock a tee or polo. Oh yea, and the price point is pretty impressive to boot.

Mister: Hooded Cardigan in Grey $64

Mister: Hooded Cardigan in Black $64

New Brand: RECA SF

2010-09-15T21:27:00.000-07:00

This is my favorite shirt because of the simple design and a added design twist. If you match the two sets of dots it spell "RECA."

The "Native" design is a super clean digital twist on a classic pattern.

They always added a v-neck in the mix and they feel superb!

Now available in-store and on-line. Check out the rest of the drop here.

We have just picked up a brand based out of the East Bay called Charlie Noble.

Mister SFC = Giving Back

2010-05-12T16:15:00.000-07:00

Now that we are located in the Tender-Nob we are occasionally exposed to some impoverish conditions, homelessness, and honestly...just some straight up crack-heads! In response to this, we'd like to help make a change. We decided instead of giving directly to some of these unfortunate individuals, we'd like to donate to a charity that we know will put our donations to good use! With that being said, we have added two new colors to our very own cut and sewn (Mr.) Henley made in Downtown San Francisco.

We also re-stocked the Navy and Heather Grey Henleys as well.

Ojisun x Gems Collab & Event

2010-04-02T14:40:00.000-07:00

We are happy to annouce our toddler colab with Ojisun of Tokyo, Japan! We have both designed a kids t-shirt each and is based around the theme "I AM THE FUTURE."

Ojisun is coming to America! And i'm not talking about your Japanese uncle or dad's foreign friends. From the creators of the Punk Drunkers brand out of Tokyo,Japan comes Ojisun, which is a very cute and unique clothing collection for kids who have style and a sense of humor.

The name Ojisun is derived from the Japanese word for Middle Aged Man, (Ojisan)
So to think of kids as little middle aged people, it's quite hilarious. The clothing borrows from many trendy fashion ideas, yet fitting those ideas to a kids fashion sense. From a Houndstooth jacket with actual puppy dog tail, ears, and face scarf to match, to a collab with the Hello Kitty brand where she has traded her signature hair bow with a salary man for his work tie. Ojisun is a brand for children, where getting dressed for the day meets playing dress up.

Blurring the lines between fashion and play time is something that the brand has achieved wonderfully. So be sure to keep your kids looking fresh and fun in Ojisun!!

Starts 8pm @ D-Structure SF (Lower Haight & Fillmore)

Free Entrance

$2 Beer, $7 Cocktails

Live MC set from Kensho Kuma with DJ DnZ

Livepainting by Gem from INVS & Gems

Mister (Mr.)

2010-03-24T17:03:00.000-07:00

To all our old and new supporters: When we started the INVS line our goal was to produce garments that we felt every man should have in their closet. As cliche as it sounds we wanted to update classics with a more modern fit and add our own details. We knew the name would change as we wanted to have a name that better fit our mission.

We never liked the idea of "disposable fashion," Uniqlo, H&M, and Zara. We feel that todays consumer deserves quality and lasting style at a fair price. I don't want to say affordable because that is relevant to how much you make. By a fair price we mean that depending on the cost of whatever we are producing we don't mark it up to an unnecessary price.

So the line is OFFICIALLY called Mister, abbreviated as Mr.

The whole concept is that we are making such plain and classic garments that we are going back to a time when YOU the MAN really wore the clothes. We don't want a cool guy image or the image of some guy who dresses "proper" all the time. We just want you to be you, whatever sort of man you may be.

Thanks everybody, here are the Mr.(Basics: Henley). It is part of our (basics) line which will always be available in-store and like everything we're always improving and switching it up.

Retail - $18 OR 2 for $30
Available - Instore or Online

Button Front Cable Knit

2010-03-15T20:09:00.000-07:00

Here's a preview of something coming this winter. This is just a sample though it is actually gonna be 100% black wool. But the wool is really nice not that itchy kind of wool, it will be good for layering and not too thick or thin. The fit is like a modern fit so it won't be too slim so you can wear something underneath.

It is super premature and we are working on it now, but just wanted to show you guys.

Introducing GEMS

2010-03-09T17:03:00.000-08:00

I wanted to personally thank our creative director Gem Mateo for all he has done for INVS and as a big thank you we have decided to name the toddler brand after the designer himself. I hope you all can agree with the change and see how this is the last piece to the puzzle.

For our first design under the newly named Gems toddler brand is "Boom Boom Pow" which is printed with a water based uv changing ink. When you go out into the sun the explosion behind the words appears.

60% Cotton 40% Poly for a nice soft feel.

Made in San Francisco.

Thank you Kaliya for looking adorable and Robert of City Picture Productions for taking the photos.

Leather Jacket Series: 02

Here is the first look at our Series: 02 for our Leather Jacket. We added a hood to the jacket over the 4" high rib collar.

Here is the dilemia, we are torn between releasing this in May when it is spring or wait till September when it is the right time of season. Since we have been getting a lot of people asking about how soon we are going to release it, we thought about pushing the release for May but at the same time September is such a great time of season yet so far away!?! What do you think?

INVS V-Necks for Kids

2010-01-31T20:54:00.001-08:00

Here are some fit pics of Kaliya, she is a cute four years old and her eyes remind me of a japanese anime princess. In the near future we will release our first design using our v-neck blanks and as always we will use some cool inks!!!

New Year...New Gear

2010-01-09T12:29:00.000-08:00

Here is a look of whats to come for all of our kids tee from now on. With our kids shirts growing to where it is now we have decided to take it a few steps further and respond to the feedback we have recieved over the past year.

We know parents like to see colors on their children, so we are introducing these fresh and prismatic colors throughout the brand. The biggest and most exciting change is that these will be made here in San Francisco, even though it costs more to produce, we are happy to keep the retail the same. Since we will are making our own cut & sewn shirts, we changed the fit of each size to last with wear, wash and age. The shirts are made with a 60% cotton/40% poly blend for a heathered look with an extra soft feel. We believe in providing a dope product at a dope price.

With all of these changes we are still staying true to INVS and keeping the same look and style. Our kids tees also come with a free temporary tattoo, and we are still using special inks like color changing ink, glow in the dark, 3-D, ect!

Endless Ammo

2010-01-05T22:14:00.000-08:00

Our newest brand that we added to the shop is Endless Ammo. The brand was founded in San Francisco and creates an Utilitarian and Adventure gear with a contempary feel. Military inspired functionality and a clean look makes Endless Ammo the perfect gear for that daily grind.

What makes the brands stand out is their patent pending pocket design which is call the "F-Stop" pocket. The F-Stop is made to be silent, fastener free and a secure pocket.

Here is my favorite piece the Long Range Patrol Hoodie which is a waterproof soft shell fleece lined jacket. The shell is treated with Nanoshpere technology by Schoeller.

2009-12-16T12:52:00.000-08:00

In 1998 Punk Drunkers was founded in Sendagaya, Tokyo. For the past ten years they have kept to their philosophies. Never becoming stagnate and falling behind, and always embracing originality. Their brand concept mixes Japanese culture with western influences, which always creates a unique approach and original designs. It's no wonder Punk Drunkers has been successful for the past ten years they've been around.

With a decade in the industry, Punk Drunkers has always been very exclusive with the brands and stores they collaborate with. That's why D-Structure is the only store in San Francisco to carry Punk Drunkers, let alone, one of the few American brands to collaborate with them.

With a loyal and large fan base in Japan, Punk Drunkers will finally make their San Francisco Debut December 18th at D-Structure. Here are some sneak peek photos of the designs that are invading D-Structure.

With the release of the colab, live art, music and dance - I am sure this would be a dope event check out. Come support our friends and family and see you guys there.

Today, Beans & Croydon helped us shoot our new leather jacket and Oxford button-down. This is something we are very excited about as it is not a new beginning for INVS but somewhere we always wanted to be.

We do not seek to reinvent the wheel, we merely want to provide high quality garments at an affordable price. We are making mens staple items and we are confident that they will stay in your closet and you will enjoy them for many years to come.

Please enjoy these previews while we get ready for the official press release! The leather jacket releases next Saturday, Dec. 19 @ INVS 627 Post Street and to our Online Store.

Closest Thing to an Invisible Shoe

2009-12-09T14:58:00.000-08:00

To footwear designer Andreia Chaves, each shoe is an individual work of art. Raised in the busy metropolis of Sao Paulo, Brazil – Chaves understands that beauty can be found in chaos, a concept that reveals itself in her footwear designs. She explains this in her own words, "The fact that I grew up in a chaotic city like Sao Paulo, full of contrasts, being in contact with such diversity and constant exposure to different visual inputs, has inspired me in how I think and conceptualize my shoes. Looking at my work, I can clearly see influence coming from my South American sense of versatility. Also in the mix - what I have been experiencing in Europe."

During her time in Florence she’s been intensely studying form, texture & visual effect, and experimenting with different materials on footwear design. These concepts come to life in each shoe created. For example, “The Invisible Shoe” has a mirrored surface, creating a deceptively obscured optical effect with every step taken. The chameleon-like façade blends in perfectly with any environment.

Saturnalia

2009-12-09T14:24:00.000-08:00

[Christmas was invented to replace Saturnalia.]

The Saturnalia
was an ancient Roman holiday marked by a week of wild partying, lawlessness and a holiday celebrating the return of the sun; ending in dedications to the temple of the god Saturn, which was on 17 December. People did any damage they pleased without fear of
consequence as the Roman courts were closed and law stated that no one
could be punished for anything. This tradition began by Roman
communities choosing someone as an enemy of Rome, representing the Lord of Misrule.
Each “enemy” was forced to over-indulge in food, sex, and mayhem for a week.
At the end of the week, the person was murdered in representation of
conquering the forces of darkness.

Leather Jackets in the 20th Century

2009-12-08T13:11:00.000-08:00

In the 20th century the leather jacket achieved iconic status especially in the cinema. The most obvious has to be Marlon Brando's Johnny Strabler character in The Wild One (1953),as a result these all masiveley popularised leather jackets through out American and British youth. The leather jacket appeared in everyones wardrobe from the "greaser" subculture in the 1950s and early 1960s, an example of this is The Fonz's iconic leather jacket from Happy days. The Fonz's leather jacket has now been layed to rest in the Smithsonian Institution.

Leather jackets were also worn in aviation and the military they were often reffered to as "Bomber jackets" and were also seen on many stars in the 1940s and 1950s examples include Jimmy Stewart in the 1957 film, Night Passage. The brown leather jacket has been a de rigueur part of the wardrobe of a Hollywood adventurer.

There are many more examples of iconic leather jackets worn in popular culture towards the end of the 20th century from the T-800 Character in the Terminator movies, to the longer ¾ length trench coat style worn by action heroes such as Steven Seagal and then again in The Matrix as worn by Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne.

Brad Pitt gave the world a fresh spin on the leather jacket in the movie Fight Club, where Tyler Durden constantly appears with different variations of his red leather jacket.

Leather jackets have always been popular in music. Punk rock groups such as the Ramones and the Libertines were both seen wearing several styles.

History of the Leather Jacket

2009-12-07T15:03:00.000-08:00

The history of Leather Jackets

A leather jacket is a jacket made of leather. The jacket usually has a brown, dark grey or black color. Leather jackets have a rich history and can be styled in countless ways, different leather jackets have served different purposes from fashion, to motorcycling, to the military

The history of wearing animal hides can be traced back as far as the palaeothic period where cave paintings were discovered depicting the use of leather clothing, unlike the modern approach primitive man discovered that smoke could preserve skins, and that they could be treated with natural ingredients such as barks and plants.

Wall paintings and artefacts in Egyptian tombs indicate that leather was used for clothing, burying the dead and for military equipment. The ancient Greeks and Romans also made good use of leather and it has remained an important industrial raw material since those times.

The Romans used leather on a large scale for footwear, clothes, and military equipment including shields, saddles and harnesses. Excavation of Roman sites has yielded large quantities of leather articles such as footwear and clothing.

Leather manufacturing was introduced to Britain by the Romans, and by religious communities, the monks were experts at making leather, especially vellum and parchment for writing purposes. The Britons then used leather for footwear, clothing and leather bags. They were also used on the hulls of the early boats, known as coracles

Through the centuries leather manufacture expanded steadily and by mediaeval times most towns and villages had a tannery. Many of these tanneries still exist, but in many towns the only remaining evidence is in street names, like Tanner Street, Bark Street and Leather Lane.

Francisco Goya

2009-12-05T21:22:00.000-08:00

Francisco Goya was born in 1746 in a small town near Zaragoza. When he was 14 he began a 4 year apprenticeship to a local master, José Luzan. Goya then left for Madrid with the intention of winning a prize at the Academy of San Fernando. Although he didn’t win, he met the court artist Francisco Bayeu who was to prove influential in forming Goya’s early style.

Bayeu was heavily influenced by the German painter Anton Taphael Mengs, and passed elements of this style on to Goya. Bayeu was also instrumental in Goya’s first involvement in a commission. This was the fresco decoration of the Church of the Virgin in El Pilar in Zaragoza.

From 1773, after spending a year in Italy, Goya worked on a number of other fresco projects, including one for the Charterhouse of Aula Dei, near Zaragoza. However, it was in 1798 that he worked on his greatest fresco project for the Church of San Antonio de la Florida, Madrid. Goya had now begun working on prints based on paintings by one of his two greatest sources of inspiration, Velázquez. Rembrandt was the other artist that Goya drew inspiration from.

Goya began working on official portraits commissioned by King Charles III around 1786. One of his paintings from this time, Marquesa de Pontejos, is on display in the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. He also worked on several tapestry cartoons depicting Spanish life, and these revolutionized the Spanish tapestry industry. However, in the winter of 1792, Goya’s life took a dramatic turn when he became totally deaf after a serious illness. Not surprisingly, this led to much of his subsequent work having a pessimistic air to it. He drew and etched the first in a series of prints, the satirical Los Caprichos (The Caprices). Others followed, including the Desastres de la Guerra (Disasters of War), and Disparates (Absurdities).

Goya had witnessed the horrors of war, at first hand, during the French occupation of Spain, and he drew on this for two of the paintings that he completed in 1814. The Second of May, 1808 and Third of May, 1808 both depict brutal massacres of his countrymen by the French. The thick, bold strokes of dark colour that he used were typical of many of his later paintings. Another characteristic of Goya’s paintings towards the end of his life was that they had an openness and honesty, especially his portraits. His portrait, Family of Charles IV, portrays the Royals in a realistic manner, and not idealized as many other artists did. It is on display in Madrid's Prado Museum.

Towards the end of his life, Goya painted a series of fresco scenes on the walls of his country house. These were the Black Paintings, and he used mainly blacks, browns and greys to depict scenes of witchcraft. Goya was evidently becoming depressed by the political situation in Spain, and these paintings reflected his mood. He was forced to leave Spain in 1824, because of the oppression in his native land, and moved to France. Goya began to pursue the then new art of lithography, and he produced a series of bullfight scenes that are among the best lithographs ever made. He died, in France, in 1828.

This is what you'll see when you stop by 1800. And a lot of emptiness inside. Never fear, October 30th is near. You ready? We are...almost!

Changes...

2009-10-09T21:07:00.000-07:00

I know we have not kept up with the blog and I am sorry about keeping everyone in the dark. Here are some things I could share with you all. We finished painting the shop and installed the new floors, still keeping the clean look. We are picking up the new counter tonight which is my favorite piece in the whole shop, this one is secret but let just say it is multifunctional. We submitted production of our men's collection and we have 6 new designs, a couple of colabs, introducing hoodies and crewneck sweaters and crossing my fingers for a fitted. With the sudden change in location and structure, we have decided to change our name to INVS. Don't be weirded out we are still Invisible Stripes, just shorten the name like when your friend's name is Katherine and you just call her Kat. We are still on schedule with Friday, October 30th.

There is still a lot more but I will update you a little later and post pictures of everything when they come in. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us: sales@invisiblestripes.com

Good bye Invisible Stripes. Hello INVS!
