From the looks of a post on Shayboarder.com we can add eesa Lux Layering to the list of failed first layer companies:
In 2004 Stephen Cleary set out to create a layering company that worked on the slopes and looked good off the slopes, that company was eesa lux layering. . . it’s become time that the doors are closing at eesa and for Stephen Cleary to take a better opportunity that has come his way.
If we ignore the whole “death of a dream” thing, what this means to us is amazing deals on essa’s super smooth first layer gear and socks. Dive in. Most of it is under $10 and socks are under $5. Feeding frenzy.

West 49, a Canadian action mall retailer we’ve constantly referred to as the “Zumiez of Canada” announced today that they have “secured a new vendor relationships with Volcom, Inc and plans to introduce branded apparel in all West 49 stores this coming Spring.”
“We are excited about our relationship with Volcom, Inc. and the potential to grow our businesses incrementally together,” said Sam Baio, Chief Executive Officer of West 49 Inc. “The addition of the premium, athlete-driven Volcom brand, is in keeping with our stores offering the ‘Best Brands on Earth’.”
The thing we find most surprising about this announcement is that Volcom hadn’t been in West 49 all this time. Then again, everyone is probably a little more motivated to do some deals now than they have been in the past. Click here for a quick breakdown of West 49’s business.

Nixon has signed musician Little Boots to their time telling team. Anyone who collaborates with Gary Numan is a friend of ours.
Hailing from the UK, Little Boots is leading the way as one of the best-known electropop musicians. Named to the 2009 “Artist To Watch” list by Rolling Stone and Esquire’s “Brilliant Brits 2009”, Little Boots is well on her way to closing out the year in a strong way. Making noise in the fashion world as well, Little Boots has gained notoriety for a look that has been described by some as “cosmic vintage” and has said that everything she wears onstage or off is reflection of her sound.
But then, you already knew all that.

We can feel the Olympic hype heating our fingers as we type. And it appears to be Gretchen Bleiler all day long. Here she gets profiled on VanityFair.com and we’re guessing this is just the tip of the hypeberg:
But the dichotomy between being a fashion designer and a gangster shredder isn’t Bleiler’s only contrariety. She also straddles the worlds of core and mainstream snowboarding. “Snowboarding, from the beginning, has always been a very core sport, and at first there were a lot of riders who resisted the growth of this sport on the mainstream level—thus the Olympics—as it seemed that it represented selling out the soul of the sport. But things have changed,” she says, pointing out that now kids are growing up going to snowboarding academies and training to be Olympians. “Even though this is still a very image-conscious sport, there are riders who are able to walk the line between core and mainstream.”

The DC Shoes website seems to be missing a few belts, wallets, and other accessories that featured the DC logo. And there appears to be what one friend called “a distinct lack of snowboards” on the DC Snowboarding website. Strange, no?
According to sources, Chanel, which makes a few belts, wallets, snowboards, and other sporting equipment of their own, has reportedly sent DC a cease and desist letter requesting that DC stop producing several items featuring the Chanel-like intertwined DC letters. From the looks of the DC websites it appears that Quiksilver legal is cooperating with the request and then some.
Those who follow along may remember a similar skirmish between the brands in the 90s when DC founders Ken Block and Damon Way reportedly made a deal suggesting that since DC was “just a small skateboard company” that Chanel would allow DC to use the logo on skate shoes and some apparel. Now that DC is part of a billion dollar fashion label it appears that Chanel is looking at their products a little more carefully and it would appear that at least a few logo changes may be on the horizon at DC.
Requests for comment to both Chanel and Quiksilver have not been returned.
