Natas Kaupas, known as one of the first true professional skateboarders, grew up in the area of Santa Monica known as “Dogtown”. While skating professionally Kaupas was sponsored by Quiksilver and Element, and soon was promoted by Quiksilver to the role of Graphic Director. Having left an indelible impact on both surfing and skating, Natas lives and works in Los Angeles.
One of three in a limited edition series, this 3 tee set features graphics commissioned by a judiciously assembled group of top designers/artists to represent the 3 major cities The Standards inhabit: Los Angeles, Miami, and it’s newest addition, New York City.
Because lettering directly reflects a certain person or region, selecting the perfect individual for each location was extremely important, hence, hand-picking ERIC HAZE from NYC, JOSE PARLA from Miami, and west coast’s NATAS KAUPAS for Los Angeles. Each of these artists were commissioned to write the city’s name in their own personal handstyle, making each a unique and recognizable representation for that area.
The days of receiving the typical, “my … went to … and all i got was this lousy t-shirt” tee from your friends and family when they travel are over.
Produced in New York, in collaboration with Tony Arcabascio, THE TOURIST TEE set consists of 3 different graphics offered in 2 different color-ways. Each is packaged in its own reusable, nylon, monogrammed travel case, making it the perfect pre-wrapped, 2-for-1 gift.
