From the brand: This season is a stylistic tribute to the heartthrob and natural born world-shaker known as “The Joe Greene”, love bandit and tough guy
— harder than Chinese poetry at the ER —
, and our permanent “Employee of the Month” at the ol’ pile o’ rags.
Greene
because Joe lived on Greene Avenue in Los Angeles with his OG parents, for most of his 14 years of happy earthly presence. He touched many lives. During his senior years, I became Joe’s private chef, barnacle, and he turned
me
into a well-trained house pet. Joe called the shots. In return, he made my world a better place…
Thank you, my King, fair winds and following seas. I’ll see you on that distant shore, Poum Poumsh.
Our recurring collaboration with the Sun Surf® label, renowned purveyor of authentic vintage reproductions of Aloha-type shirts. This “Joe G” edition features original doodles of The Joe, sprinkled with a string of international nicknames he was given, mostly had-to-be-there types of onomatopoeias.

STORY
Toyo Enterprises 50th Anniversary in 2015 gave us the opportunity to collaborate with its “SUN SURF” label, of Hawaiiana garment fame. It was a great honor to collaborate with Toyo’s textile and manufacturing experts on this project
Our fabric graphic design is adapted from a vintage 1950’s novelty print swatch from the MF® archives. It features diving, racing, flying, surfing, boats, cars, airplanes… Action Packed, baby.

This works in our story as a civilian garment worn on R&R (Rest & Recuperation) by military personnel. It is documented that some SOG team members favored wearing “loud” shirts while on leave during their tour of duty in Southeast Asia. (if I remember well, source: “
