RVCA Holiday 2014 Release

RVCA is one of my favourite street/skate brands.  They do an amazing job of fusing together the skate and surf lifestyle with real streetwear cred while at the same time promoting amazing artists with their Artist Network Program.  They just released their Holiday 2014 set of product, and I have pulled out a few pieces that caught my eye, as well as a few of their older ones too.  Check out the whole line, and the Artist Network Program at rvca.com
