We just checked out Volcom and Baker’s new “Match Made in the Gutter” collection in person and you know what? It’s done up nice. The line includes two T-shirts, a button-up, belt, twill pants and a lounging shoe with pom pom toes. Huh?
The designers at Volcom and Baker worked with mutual team rider, Dustin Dollin, to come up with a progressive and eye-popping line that represents both Volcom and Baker’s unique perspective on design and skateboarding. . . Dollin was the perfect choice to help curate this collection as he is known for leading a fearless approach to skating, off board antics and fashion.
And it works. This collab is gonna be like Lego x Star Wars for skateboarders. It’s on sale now at Volcom.com and hits stores in March. For the official word from VeeCo, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Billabong has reportedly announced that they are considering selling their e-commerce businesses Swell.com and SurfStich, according to a story on MSN Money.
The embattled maker of board shorts and wet suits, which was saved last year by a refinancing deal from U.S. private equity firms Centerbridge Partners LP and Oaktree Capital Management, is looking at strategic options for its SurfStitch and Swell site. It has appointed investment bank Guggenheim Securities to help with the review.
Yeah, why own online retailers when mall stores are doing so very well?

We’re well positioned for major new initiatives like $20 Million & Change, a fund that invests in likeminded companies, and Patagonia Provisions, our new sustainable food company.” Chouinard expressed his gratitude to Casey Sheahan for his service over the past decade. “He lives and breathes our company’s mission and core values and he’s leaving a tight ship. With Rose Marcario taking over the helm, Patagonia’s future could not be brighter.”
