    That is literally some of the most offensively overpriced sh!t I have ever seen. 150 dorrar for plain colored button shirt, 50 dorrar for beanie, 165 dorrar for hoodie? Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy dat sh!t on principle alone.

    I saw gloves for 100+ and a wool sweater with reindeer or something on it for 400+. That's got to be a joke. It's Roy if Roy sold cloths

    I know you're sad you can't keep up with the latest trends.

    but there IS goodwill, chkd, habitat for humanity, and many other privately owned thrift stores!

    where you can get stuff that looks similar to this stuff and not spend mad loot!
    orrrrrrrrrrr you could stop giving these turds so much attention and worry about yo dam self

    fool.

    Holy sh!t... I dont see anything wrong with the style of the button downs and sweatshirts but who in their right mind is paying that kind of cash for these basic pieces of clothing?! That grey sweat shirt, the "base" one, looks no different than a champion sweatshirt and its $145 lmao. Put that cash towards gear not clothing... thanks for the laugh!

    Trust fund limosine liberal hipster babies. Mean streets of williamsburg, drinking soy lattes and growing beards. Biggest cultural conundrum in the last 100 years. Manginas with beards and overpriced coffee. "The struggle is real". These were the occupy wall street kids showing up on their fresh ducati cafe racers and 500 dollar trucker hats.

    In this shops defense, some of the boards they sell look nice. But sh*t, those are overpriced too. In 10 years, will surfing still be cool in "BK"?
    I remember I used to have to drive through part of Williamsburg back in the early 90s on the way home from work every day. I think I liked it more when it was a ****hole.

    Hey brah, BK is bigger than just Williamsburg. On that note, I'm still with ya. But it did get a lot safer... Not a big chance you gonna get jumped by a swarm of hipsters... Skinny jeans cut off ball blood supply

    "Sleepy Jones Marcel Pajama Pant"-$148

    Sleepy Jones is built for actively inactive; for pondering, plotting, tinkering and lounging.

    - The Marcel Pant is an all-day, kick-around-the-house pant to help you get more done without actually getting to work.

    - American film and music director and graphic designer Mike Mills illustrated the various sleeping pills taken by his friends for this exclusive Sleepy Jones print.

    - Soft cotton end on end fabric, two side pockets, back patch pocket, contrast piping, French seams, double button fly, and a flat front covered waistband.

    - 100% cotton



    This is problematic.

    this is great. just like affliction, ed hardy and tapout clothing this helps to send a visual warning that the person underneath will likely live down to your lowest expectation.

    I can't afford the boards or the clothes, but I have picked up some small stuff there, as it is the closest shop to my house (and KCDC skateshop is around the corner). In my few interactions with the owner, he's always been a good dude. At least one of the guys who works there has been shaping for a long time. Also, they organized a ton of Sandy volunteer work there.

    The clothes are ridiculous at every shop. $75 board shorts and $50 plastic sandals are the norm! I'm not saying I agree with $300 hoodies, but lets get some perspective. The fashion boutique aspect of Pilgrim is insane but the shop is in one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the world, what do you expect.

    There is an Italian place right around the corner that has kick-ass heroes...
