Unfortunately this item is sold out but never less a cool unique piece. This is the King Ring from Phenomenon being sold through Eproze ZoZoTown JP. 100% brass, offered in silver & gold with the Phenomenon logo engraved inside. Hopefully these are re-stocked very soon but I'm sure you'll be able to find them in exclusive shops here in the states. Crowns Up!

Quiksilver Graphic Collage Fitted Cap

Here are pics of a new Quiksilver fitted cap. Taking a break from the wool fabric, this cap is constructed of black cotton canvas. The cap sports a printed graphic with felt die-cut letters stitched on top. The final detail is a gold plated crest pin with the Quiksilver logo. Right off the gate you may like the fact that it's not a 5950, it's good to see companies doing their own thing & not always rocking the NE visor sticker. You can find this fine cap at streetwear boutiques or skate spots.
