After a ton of work, a lot of hustling, loot stacking, move making, and more than a few booze filled evenings resulting in late night runs to Garden out here in Toronto, the Summer is officially over, and the Fall/Winter Ideall Clothing line has finally been completed. Shouts out to my henchmen Los, and Andy. Better late than never. I had to figure out what I was finna wear.

Complimentary piece to the “Die Enormous” touques, going on sale this month at LiveStock Toronto.

Everyone claims to be the last of a dying breed. Well, good luck outlasting death. We’re the first of a surviving breed. Get familiar.

Triumph 08: “Behold The Bold Soldier. Control The Globe Slowly.” Fat shout out to everyone who showed support for the Obama’s Time tee. I’m fucking humbled, and I’m sure Barrack would be saying “Thank You” as much as he did before his speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Facebook is The Feds. The first in a series of truths we all know. Black on black - It should be a crime it’s so ill.

The inspiration behind much of this collection is growing up on the east coast where Nautica was heavily flossed in my high school days by the kids whose parents could afford it, or the cats who were ill enough to be able to boost it. Regardless of who was wearing it, I always loved the simplicity of their color selections. The teal, white and grey pieces - the mustard, white, and navy pieces - and the stock red, navy and white pieces always looked dope with baggy denim and Clarks, an Eddie Bauer button down and a denim cap. But I didn’t understand the culture that the clothes were actually geared towards. I’d never been on a boat, I had never been ‘up north’, which in Toronto is a regular thing for many families, I hated the water, I never knew what a cottage was until 4 years ago, (and I still have never been), and I was not welcomed into the circles of the many people in the position to enjoy these things coming up in the middle class neighbourhood I came up in because of my tendency to do wild shit, get drunk, and end up on some violent shit.

My relationship with those born into money, or remotely healthy relationships with their families, where things like enjoying nature and the lay of the land may be regular activities, was bad - bad to the point that robbing kids like that was a regular thing. Beating down guys who acted like they were on some ill shit but lived in prissy neighbourhoods where they could keep their doors unlocked and their parents were owners of this and that, the VPs of that and this, wasn’t uncommon. Because while my neighbourhood was all smiles, my household was all hell breaking loose, and I would spend more time with doctors and cops, in hospitals and centers, than I would enjoying the outdoors with my family in the summertime.

The B-Class Series represents those of us who recognize real, and can’t relate to their kind because they chose not to hold relationships with ours. It represents those of us who take what the world has left us without, and make what the world expects us to be envious of, not because we have to, but because we can. It’s a testament to self empowerment in the face of snickering finger pointers and daddy dearest types who expect the struggle to hold us down, but will never reach a hand out to help us up if we ever needed it.

I’ve seen it face on. And spat in it’s face back.

Here’s to holdin’ ‘em down and hangin’ ‘em dry, to robbing from the rich ’cause they care not for our kind, and for getting the motherfucking upper hand since 1981.

Much respect to those who been showing love from the early days, and the new cats holding my shit down. I got you.

“They Care Not For Our Kind”. The swords feature the skulls from the 2007 Ideall Clothing Love/Hate tee.

Anchor and Noose. It’s the new duct tape and cinderblock.

There are still a lot of Filipino pirates out in the waters robbing people on cruise ships. Don’t get got.

Do your homework.

All these pieces will be available at LiveStock Toronto this month. Ask the team for details, or contact be@thelegendsleague.com
