This recession is a true test of ability, swagger, and overall business savvy. Brands out here are trying hard to stay relevant given the fact that people have no bread to buy new gear. Akomplice is a cut above the rest right now. To be brutally honest, this brand is one of the few to spark my interest. Interest in spending bread that is, so you know, the new 2009 line is thorough. The dudes at Akomplice have a knack for making some amazingly chill clothes. This season the emphasis on on comfort. The line boast a well designed array of winter wear, with pieces such as winter knits hats, galaxy crew necks, reversible puff vest, skate deck, luxo scarf, and one of the best pocket t's in the game right now. The VSOP mentality that DC knows and loves is also apparent in the designs. You'll see once you teleport...the line looks comfortable, and the designs are well crafted. Akomplice is a good look for your winter wardrobe, I've compiled a few pics of what I intend to cop, teleport after the tunes to check them out.
UCB - V.S.O.P
Gotta keep your head warm, these knits hats will do just that and have you looking good. By Jan you'll see a new trend emerge. People may be wondering how to stay fresh in a recesh...just wear whatever feels right. It's the "feel good" trend. I love this T...striped pocket, takedownable on the side...can't lose with this combo Puff vest will never go out of style...get more bang for your buck with this reversible joint. The detail on both sides is dope. Add this to your collection of layers, it's a good look. I've always been a firm believer that you really only need one good scarf. There are people out there that OD and think you need a scarf for every outfit. Like I said, that's OD. Just cop one good joint that will last you through the witer season. Akomplice did this one right with satin ends and a soft wool body. The neutral design makes this scarf work with almost anything.Aahhh...star galaxy crew neck sweater. What else could make a hardcore kush session more enjoyable than looking down at your gear and seeing all those stars...well maybe it could be snow also. Either way, good crewneck to have or rock as a layer. This is a solid collection. You can get fresh, stay warm and comfortable, and won't have to empty the account. Visit the Akomplice website click on Mumra and cop yours before they sell out!

Here are a few terms we actively use in our blog. We want to make sure our readers understand our slang, it just makes the experience more enjoyable. OD- This term stands for "Over Dose". It means when something is crazy wild in a good way, or too extra in a bad way. Walking down the DC streets wearing Teva sandals, socks, and shorts in the winter time is OD! In the same respect, the new Mercedes Benz C63AMG is OD!
Dope- We use this quite a bit when talking about a product or movie, it's just another word for cool
Crack- Not as controversial as it sounds, we use "crack' to describe something that is just out of this world fresh. We may say something like: That new EF post is CRACK!!
Went In- When a rapper shows extreme lyrical ability in a verse or whole track.
Rastio Lyool- A close friend to the EF family. Originally from Africa Rastio migrated from Jamaica to Brooklyn, NY. He played a large role in the "eh doesn't affect me" movement of the 90's. Rastio is like Tommy off Martin, ya digg.
Fux With It- We use this when referencing something we really like. If your in Stussy or CmonWealth and you see a crack pair of kicks you'd say: "oh these are crack, I fux with them"!
Huff- use this when you talk about something WACK...Like if you see dude rocking some Kool-aid Reeboks, you'd say "damn, his shoe game is HUFF" you can also use the term to describe when you get carried. So if you're talking to a shorty, and you ask for her number, she looks you up and down, blinks 3 times and walks away...you got HUFFED!
Teleport - This converts a person or object into an energy pattern (a process called dematerialization), then "teleports" it to a target, where it is reconverted into matter (rematerialization)...in short it lets you read the full post
Takedownables - This is a new term DCBG created to describe dimes or beautiful women who are simply irresistible, and therefore must be taken down accordingly. Being a takedownable is the ultimate status and compliment, better than winning Ms. Universe or World's Sexiest Woman. Hope this helps you understand the lingo.
