Automated >> Board Shorts at the Standard Hotel

The Standard Hotels (New York, Miami, and LA), are bringing back their Quiksilver vending machines for another summer, so if you forget your sunglasses or retro board shorts and are hoping to find some 70's/80's inspired special editions made especially for The Standard, they've got you covered.

Pretty clever idea, no??

Provenance You Can Believe In >> Apolis Activism + Kanvas by Katin

Apolis Activism's latest project:

Bringing classic board short company (originally boat-cover-makers) Kanvas by Katin up to date with a men's chambray trunk.  As usual, it's all about the quality.  Love it.

And, as usual, great video with a great story!

Also, I didn't realize these guys could surf!

Love them!  Available here.
