FITTED GETS IT DONE x SLAPS WIND

Thursday, November 10th, 2011 by FITTED

Releasing Friday, Nov. 11th (Veteran’s Day)

Aloha kakou!

This pack is partially influenced by the Home Rule Party, which was created in 1900, as Native Hawaiians worried that the Democrat & Republican parties would be unable to represent them. THRP was created as an alternative for both the Republicans and Democrats, as Hawaiians and locals alike feared if someone was elected out of the two opposing parties, they would not be represented properly. The Home Rule Party elected Robert William Wilcox (who we’ve mentioned in a few past projects) as their first representative for the U.S. Congress from Territory of Hawai’i. The Home Rule Party would later be reincarnated as the Aloha ‘Aina party which eventually merged with former Honolulu Mayor Frank Fasi’s Best Party of Hawai’i. The product: A white t-shirt in red, white and blue with a homage to political campaign signs from the 90s, which reads FITTED Gets It Done. Releasing alongside is a navy blue Slaps Wind. Big shout out and salute to all of the veterans who sacrificed their lives for America and America’s interest!

A few months ago, we unleashed our Represent tee which featured the lyrics of NaS’ Represent pressed legibly into the letter “H” for Hawai’i. And although those lyrics may not have had direct correlations with Hawai’i, it was the message within the lyrics that really mattered, which was to Represent, wherever you’re from. This week’s release is no different, this time lifting the positive message found within the late Christopher Wallace’s mainstream pièce de résistance, Sky’s The Limit. The message being straightforward: The sky’s the limit, do what you want. Your voice, your life. And like a wise man once told me: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’re still amongst those stars.” For this particular tee, we’ve printed on a red body with the lyrics of the aforementioned song in white which build into an “H,” including a crown hit on the back. Keeping in step with the shirt is a digi-camo Hawaiian flag New Era which we’ve named “Slaps Wind.” The entire cap is covered in digital-camouflage with a red underbill, and esteemed Hawaiian flag in red, white and blue; all of which tie back to the colors in the shirt.

You can check for more detailed photos of the cap and t-shirt after the jump. See y’all on Saturday!
