Always fun and inspiring to dive into a little Damian action.

Here’s a few of Damian’s shots I’m in love with from the Chrome Blog. Go check that out for sure!

I’ve never been more pleased with a Chrome Industries wearable product like I am with their Warm Work Shirt. Perfect combo of a lot of things. High style mixed with high visibility (aka strategically placed super reflective accents) mixed with a very light weight but very warm mid / top layer piece of winter defeating apparel.

To be honest, it reminds me of the cold weather M65 Field Jacket Coat Liner I wore in the Air Force many moons ago, only way more stylish but equally as effective.

The Chrome Warm Work Shirt is now my go to for the rest of this cold season. Thanks for making great things Chrome.

Go to Chrome Industries and check out more detailed shots on the Warm Work Shirt.

Chrome Industries has been a huge supporter of the FOLLY vibe from day one. Can’t thank the crew enough for their love and support.

Thursday of last week the sky fell out in San Francisco. I made my way though the city when the rain transitioned from full blast to light drizzle down to Chrome HQ to grab a very needed rain coat. As Chrome recently dropped the Storm Cobra 2.0 (review on that later), I decide to nab one. In doing so I meet Jessie (pictured above). Pumped she was sewing and creating bags when I happened to pop in. Really love meeting the Chrome bag creators in each hub I’ve visited throughout the years (Check out Briana’s interview out of the NYC hub for example). Jessie and I talked about the art of handcrafted goods and that it is quickly becoming lost in todays society. I referenced shooting with a manual film camera and Jessie referenced sewing your own goods. Come to think of it… I’ve never developed my own film… I should start. Anyways, Jessie is amazing. If you’re in SF you should go give her a high-five and say thanks for your talent. I’m sure she would appreciate that.

Here are a few shots from our chat.

The Ride x Create vibe is strong with these two. I was introduced to Massan and Matt a few years back via Chrome Industries. Instantly fell in love with their style and serious skill shooting, skating, and riding; so when I got the chance to high-five AND shoot them in action on the streets of San Francisco, it made for one seriously killer afternoon.

I was blown away by how confident Matt and Massan are bombing through traffic. It’s on a whole’nother level. Timing lights, getting low, staying close, and screaming down steep traffic filled streets like it’s a walk in the park. Pumped on that!

Here are a few shots documenting them, their skill and their steezy steez. I hope you enjoy.

ALSO… head to Massan Fluker and Matt Reyes’ Instagram to keep up on the vibe.     

Oh man… Chrome Industries just dropped so much new gear! One of my instant favorites is the Kadet. Simpe, easy, throw and go that will hold just what you need on your in and out exploration sessions.

Go to Chrome and check out all the other new arrivals. Such a great line up!
