Whilst enjoying my own photographic exhibition in Berlin at the start of the year at the SEEK trade-show (ooh get me) I happened upon this TSPTR Peanuts gear and instantly fell in love with it. Rather than being just a hip and happening tie-in TSPTR have rather cleverly chosen Snoopy & co. to reflect their inspiration behind this AW14 collection, which represents the American collegiate experience and the Vietnam draft hence the title ‘Far East Cruise‘ and the appearance of football jerseys teamed with tiger pattern boonie hats. Being the sticklers for detail and lovers of counter culture they’ve also gone and made an exact reproduction of Colonel Kilgore’s Air Cavlary Longboard made in collaboration with Squiresurf. Oh yeah and in case you didn’t know Mr. Shultz’s acerbic Peanuts comic strip became massive during this turbulent time in US history becoming adopted by everyone from high-brow peace-campaigners to gung-ho bomber pilots.This collection will be (wood)stocked at the following stores: Oi Polloi, The Garbstore, Harvey Nichols, Colette, V-Files, Journal Standard and Fott.
