Steady Peddlin’: Space Quest

Sunday, November 18th, 2012

Space Truckin’ Shirt Infrared ($92.00)
Vision Quest Pom Ice Blue ($32.00)
High Sticking T-Shirt Royal ($32.00)
Keep Watch Wallet Black ($30.00)

I fall through my bed into a black hole. It is cold, dark.  The isolation is near maddening. As I think that I will be trapped alone, in the void forever, an ice planet becomes clear on the other side. I am falling. Knocked unconscious, I’m awoken by a one eyed wolf licking my face. The wolf speaks, in Russian. I do not understand her tongue, I understand her thoughts. “Kill the White Witch, free us from her tyranny”. She gives me ice skates carved from the frozen tears of the old gods, a bladed hockey stick—said to be dipped in unicorn blood. She wishes me god’s speed and the devil’s thunder. We exchange knowing glances as she sends me on my way. The road will be long and dangerous, but I am high on adventure. I wake up every morning feeling strong and ready. I prepare an outfit to continue my adventure.

Steady Peddlin’: Maintain Homeostatis. Maintain The Wave

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

• Easy Rider Crew ($80.00)
• Lamour Keep Watch Longsleeve ($40.00)
• Vision Quest Scout Pants ($99.00)
• Death Adders Kickoff Snapback ($32.00)

Pulling the crewneck out of the closet shows an appreciation for comfort. A desire to go trough the day with a relaxed aura, wrapped in warmth. It’s getting cold in the streets, but that doesn’t mean we all gotta devolve into huddled swagless masses. Never that. See, if you get the fit right, you can style on fools in an extra casual, nonchalant way while maintaining a comfortable core temperature. Homeostasis on thirty thousand hundred million.

Saw a dude sipping a fifth of Henny on the train last night, covered head to toe in varying types of camos that only camouflage heads in Murakami paintings. That dude was very comfortable but he was doing too much and not enough at the same time. Sometimes you gotta go with the subdued outfit that doesn’t scream at heads, but instead subtley whispers to motherfuckers “I just hurt your feelings, right?”. When dudes notice that the cuff of the scout pants matches the heather red of the sweatshirt on the low—game over.

There you are, on these streets, comfortable as fuck. Killing the game and not getting a ticket on the L train during rush hour for an open container. That’s how it’s done.

Steady Peddlin’: The Shirt Says Fuckin’

Sunday, October 7th, 2012

DFA Raglan ($35.00)
Heatseeker Pom Beanie ($32.00)
New Alexei Selvage Denim ($158.00)

Sometimes you just got to wear a t-shirt that says “fuck” in really big letters in the middle, y’know what I mean? A little confidence boost in the form of everyone looking at your chest whilst you ride the subway in the morning, mothers shielding the eyes of their inquisitive children, wild packs of nuns spitting holy mucus at your feet, Tipper Gore sensing a great disturbance in the force, and you in the center of it all, you glowing golden god of expletive you. Fuck, that sounds good don’t it?

That’s why we’re rolling out this DFA shirt, and this ain’t got nothing to do with anything “from above”, I’ll tell you that. If anything it’s STRAIGHT FROM HELLLLLLL. Really though it stands for Death Fuckin’ Adders and you want it, especially when paired handsomely with a fresh pair of indigo selvage denim and the eye catching Heatseeker Pom Beanie.

Steady Peddlin’: Fall Be Kind

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012

Foil Mop Crewneck ($52.00)
Heatseeker Pom Beanie ($32.00)
New Scout Workpants ($99.00)

I get it: you want to wear Mishka all the time, but perhaps granny doesn’t want to be greeted by the sight of Charles Manson’s glaring illuminati-face or Skeletor jerkin’ He-Man’s gherkin when you go to visit her and eat Jell-O or what have you. We know how to get rill evil round these parts, but that doesn’t mean we’re not conscious of alternative circumstances. The outfit for todays Steady Peddlin is all about staying threaded from the head south in Mishka while also staying wholesome enough to please the herbs. Shouts to all grandmas out in the streets, we love y’all.

We got some real dandy, nice colors here so you can drag a bit of Summer into a Fall silhouette. We get a lot of love for our denim, but I’ve always been partial to the Scout Workpants, not the least of which for the cool contrast cuffs they always have. The plaid on this light colorway looks great with the blue of the Foil Mop Crewneck (because who doesn’t like shiny? Ooh look, shiny!), and the Heatseeker Pom Beanie. Maw-maw will think that shit is mad cute son.

Steady Peddlin: Eye Color

Wednesday, September 19th, 2012

Lumber Crack Flannel ($84.00)
Mansonic Sweater ($205.00)
End Zone Snapback ($32.00)
Acid Belt ($37.00)
Derailed Mop Wallet ($30.00)

Once you wrest your gaze back from Charlie’s three eyes, please feel free to look over the whole fresh outfit we’ve put together for this week’s edition of Steady Peddlin. It’s got both eyes and colors in it, and so I decided to call it Eye Color. This has been a peek into the mind of Whole Milk. Please don’t steal anything on the way out. Don’t mind the smell. Don’t look behind that door. You should probably just go now.

Did I mention how much I like this outfit? There’s this persistent voice in my head that tells me to wear it every day. It also tells me to do terrible things to cats, but that voice is far less insistent. Luv u kats! I think it may have something to do with that killer sweater. Couldn’t imagine what though… If people get too freaked out by the Helter Skelter stare, you can always button up that handsome Lumber Crack Shirt in a bold cranberry color. And cover up your own third eye with the End Zone Snapback. As always, accessories are key, and this has got some bold color choices with the Acid Belt and Derailed Mop Wallet.

Steady Peddlin: Spetznazzy

Thursday, September 6th, 2012

Spetznaz Jacket ($236.00)
Keep Watch Paisley Shirt ($112.00)
Death Adder Snapback ($36.00)
Boris Indigo Denim ($60.60)
Cyrillic Logo Sunglasses ($10.00)

Mmmhmmm, now we gettin turnt up with colors n shit. The Spetznaz Jacket is one of our most favoritest and longstanding items, and we’re so psyched every fall to drop new colorways on you. So it goes without saying that early in the season we absolutely gotst to base a Steady Peddlin around this bright and beautiful bastard. I mean come on, not only does it look great – especially this model with cobalt, lime, and grape coloring – but it’s also one of the most functional jackets you’ll ever get your scaly mitts on. Full of pockets, vents, 3M strips, high performance fabrics, and personal magical blessings by yours truly, Whole Milk, each Spetznaz Jacket will protect you from weather and swag haters.

It gets even badder when you mix it up with the simultaneously controlled and crazy Keep Watch Paisley shirt, a new pattern for this season that we’re positively gaga about. To reign things in a bit, we’re adding in the classic Death Adder Snapback. You know you’re talking Мишка when a bear with a serpents tongue is reigning it in. Complete the circle of goodness with some fresh New Boris Indigo Denim Jeans, and a pair of sunglasses in any number of colors (we’ve gone with the purple here, for Jacket/Glasses cohesion). Now you’re looking real Spetznazzy.

Steady Peddlin’: Lowrider

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

Shelter Hoodie ($107.00)
Keep Watch New Era Pinstripe ($47.00)
Keep Watch Paisley Card Case ($13.00)
Sunglasses ($10.00)

Rollin’ down the street, smoking endo, wearing this sweet outfit – laaaiiiid back – you got your mind on your Мишка and your Мишка on your mind. I know the leaves be changing soon and whatnot but as far as I can tell out my window the temperature is still very wavy, life is still nice and stuck in that ultra-luxe laid back mode and you my friends are probably on the lookout for an outfit that can match your mood of maxin’, relaxin’, and listening to Hot97.

Look no further than this week’s Steady Peddlin, which I’ve entitled Lowrider because its as easy and fun as cruising down main street, whistling at ladies while drinking oversize Slurpees. For me, the key to the whole outfit is actually the Keep Watch New Era Pinstripe hat. We’re known for our Keep Watch New Eras, and there certainly are quite a many new styles every year, but I must say that this handsome, chaw-dipping version is one of my favorites in a while. You wear this thing and you might as well by Mr. October all year round.

Everyone knows a hat loves a hoodie, and that’s where the unique Shelter Hoodie comes in, with it’s oversized hood and button up collar, just incase that thermometer drops just a lil’ bit. If you’re gonna be in your car, you’ll have to be holding onto your keys and cards, so why not add in a nifty card case, shown here in our Keep Watch Paisley pattern. And of course, you love that sun but it doesn’t love your eyes, so cover up with one of our numerous colors of sunglasses.

Steady Peddlin’ – For When The Cool Winds Start Blowin’

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012

Whistler Flannel ($84.00)
Boris Skinny Jeans ($60.60)
Olympia Starter Snapback ($36.00)

What’s that you feel? A breeze below 80something°? Could it be that the oppressive heat of summer has finally broken? “Lolno” says my weekly forecast and its back to back 90° predictions, but my heart still tells me Fall is just around the corner… eventually. And so, in preparation for the days getting shorter, leaves changing colors, and pumpkin beers hitting shelves everywhere, let’s turn the AC to a setting other than “next ice age” and check out this week’s Steady Peddlin’, cause it’s got three new pieces for the glorious onset of long sleeve weather.

First up is the ever toasty Whistler flannel, which’ll stave off less than balmy conditions everywhere from the concrete jungle to swinging from tree to tree lumberjacking down the rivers of British Columbia. Yeah, I know you fell off your dinosaur the first time you heard a lumberjack joke during flannel season, but hey, if the plaid fits, and you know it will, it’s best to wear it.

Perhaps the only thing more crucial than a fresh flannel to any autumnal wardrobe is a go-to set of denim, and as always, Мишка is there to steer you in the right direction, especially if skinny’s your thing. The Boris cut has a long and storied history of being a great pair of jeans, and they’ll be sure to come in handy for quality Fall activities like daydreaming through classes and frolicking in leaf piles, or even more serious things like job interviews – at least, that’s what I wore when I stopped by the Мишка office last spring. And last but not least there’s the Olympia Starter Snapback, which will stay fly all season, completely unaffected by petty trifles like labor disputes or lockouts. It might not keep your head the warmest, but hey, 2 outta 3 ain’t bad and it’s not that cold yet.

Steady Peddlin’: Hit The Road, Jack!

Wednesday, July 11th, 2012

Maui Wowie Knapsack ($102.00)
Cycotiks Starter Snapback ($34.00)
Slow Roasted Poplin Shirt ($80.00)
Guillotine Twill Cutoff Shorts (92.oo)
Sunglasses ($10.00)
Watch Dog Belt ($32.00)

Since we’re already halfway through summer (whoa), the seasonal grind might be catching up to you. If the walls of your job, internship, or beer can littered backyard are closing in on you, there’s really only one cure. ROADTRIP! “But, Dr. Pool Captain,” you ask, “I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t even have anything to pack stuff in, and when during the course of this conversation did you become a licensed medical professional?” Well, I can provide answers for two of those questions. First, is wherever you damn well please, the journey is half the fun.  Second, I happen to have just the personal luggage container for all your cross-country needs, the Maui Wowie Knapsack! Not only will it hold all sorts of essentials for the road, but those palm trees will remind you why you struck out from home in the first place. Don’t worry about the third thing. Really, you’re gonna have to trust me on this one.

And besides, the doctorly advice doesn’t end there. Did you know one of the leading causes of terrible road trips was a lack of preparedness? I bet you didn’t. You gotta be ready for anything on the open highway, and that means dressing for the occasion 24/7. Fortunately, that’s easy with the combination of the Slow Roasted Poplin and Guillotine Twill Cutoffs, the perfect match of lightweight comfort behind the wheel with just the right magnitude of pop when you step out after half a day in the car with your jackass friends. You also need the Watch Dog Belt so that your first steps out the ride don’t leave the shorts around your ankles.

Finally, one last pearl of PHD-endowed wisdom: driving into the sun is terribad. Even more-so if you’re stuck on the same godforsaken stretch of arrow-straight road for five hours while your opticals get bombarded with solar rays. Fortunately, by doubling up with the Cycotiks Starter Snapback and a pair of Мишка Shades you’ll be all set to battle the giant yellow radioactive ball we’re flying around. Now, if we’re done here, you’ll have to excuse me; there’s a bill collector from a certain mail order degree service I’m avoiding. Don’t worry, it’s unrelated. But if he asks about a “Professor Pool Captain” tell him I’m on sabbatical.

Steady Peddlin’: Spice It Up, Microserf!

Sunday, July 8th, 2012

Bear Mop Mouse Pad ($15.00)
Keep Watch Mouse Pad ($15.00)
Death Adder Mouse Pad ($15.00)
Pens ($1.50)
Drop Out Mug ($12.00)

I got something to say to all you hard workers out there, grinding away in your suits n ties. Don’t let the cube beat you: make the cube your home! Just because you’re boxed in from 9-5 M-F doesn’t mean you have to submit to its grayscale newspeak and pour your brain into like that thing at the end of Starship Troopers. That’s how you end up locking a stranger up in your basement for five years. No es bueno. You gotta spice that bad boy up with pictures of your loved ones or Han Solo, or one of those little pecking chicken bird things, or hey, maybe even some Мишка stuff. Just saying.

Our office accoutrements is just fun enough to make the cute girl/guy down the hall in the office pool think you’ve got a bitchin’ counter-culture streak (don’t unpack that phrase…) but are on the tamer side of our spectrum so as to not, y’know, get you fired or whatever. Though if you got fired for a mousepad I assume you could formulate some sort of litigation against your former employers. Or whatever. So yeah, today we’re showcasing a trifecta of mousepads, a few pens that will take your John Hancock to the next level, and a mug that will make people think you went to college! Live the dream, Microserfs. Live that particle board dream.
