We're moving things around

2010-10-23T18:38:00.004+02:00

As we're developing Saint 21 into a brand - of clothing, pomade and other cool stuff - this blog will change in the coming weeks.

We've started a new blog, a HepCat Store blog, where you'll find news from the shop, upcoming gigs and cool things that happen. Basically, whatever you used to find here is now found at hepcatstore.blogspot.com. We hope to see you there!

About the band: Three vigilantes from up north have teamed up to perform the best music ever written and combine it with the most astonishing live shows you'll ever see...
Most songs fall in the category of rhythm & blues, rock'n'roll and western swing. Legendary songs from the forties are mixed with some original material and a hell of an attitude on stage.
Do not miss this fresh act!

Go with Moon!

2010-08-09T13:58:00.005+02:00

We've got a brand new coffee-table book for all you hot rodders and kustom lovers. Go with Moon! 1950-2010 tells the story of Mooneyes.

Dean Moon, instead of creating an empire, set the path for many hot rodders to get their share of fame, while his products, his cars and his cleverly used ‘Eyeballs Logo’ became legends. This fantastic industrial and human adventure is strongly rooted in the Post-WWII era, but it managed to survive the decades and the passing of its originator in ’87 : a young Mooneyes Japanese distributor, Shige Suganuma, bought the whole Moon legacy, carefully preserved it and expanded the business and hot rod philosophy… to the world.

About the author: Laurent Bagnard is a photographer and journalist. He is the founder of Powerglide magazine in France and the author of a reknown collection of books, Cheatersville, Electroline Diaries, Rebel Motorcycle Ltd. His work on US subculture gained him an international recognition and he now works for various magazines worldwide, from Gasoline mag in Sweden to Rod & Custom in America. Go With Moon is his fourth book.

A-bombers 2010 - It was raining

2010-08-03T21:51:00.007+02:00

We're back home and we've recovered from A-bombers. Well... we're dry and clean at least. This must have been the rainiest weekend we ever spent at Backamo lägerplats.
We felt very lucky to have our booth indoors and our van parked right outside!

Photo by Tony, shamelessly stolen from Facebook.

We were a little tired after packing boxes, packing the van, driving to Backamo, unpacking, sorting, selling, chatting to friends and looking at cars. There's just so much going on during this weekend! I don't think any of the HepCat crew saw any of the bands, we were just too busy selling and talking to people. Good thing we brought our own entertainment in the form of J.Tex.

J.Tex live, Friday night.

Patric the barber premiered his new Kustom Kutting pomade, created by Mr Levin. We sold out really fast, but there will be more in stock as soon.
Other popular items were snoods, Sailor Jerry tees and Pike Brothers mechanic bib jeans.

Rob and Tony working the booth.
All three of us wore plaid woolen shirts. And no, we didn't plan that.

We meet a lot of cool people at A-bombers but the award for most suitable ride must go to Jimmy from Nordic Flake. Just look a that little pink Skoda with flakes. That baby sparkles in the sunshine, let me tell ya!

Let's just hope we get a lot more sun at next years A-bombers.

The boys from Nordic Flake drive in style.

Getting ready for Old Style Weekend

Camp site and cars.

We always have more tables and stuff for sale than anyone else. 9 tables!

We met a lot of nice people, saw some cool cars and me and Hanna even managed to go swimming while Rob held down the fort with the help of Pål from Bullit Leather.

Von Sven was striping outside and got a new tattoo. Miss Baby's Beauty Parlor was doing hair and Charlie from Custom Freakout brought some of his paintings.

2010-04-02T12:41:00.007+02:00

Legendary punk rocker and skateboard pioneer Duane Peters demonstrates how punk rockers used to make the traditional 874 pants into a slimmer cigarette pant, while in prison. The so-called Jailhouse Weld.
According to Duane, theres nothing more important than punk rock. And skateboarding. So no matter where you might be spending your days and nights, you better make sure to get your lighter, toothbrush and 874s ready and follow these simple steps to get the authentic Costa Mesa punk rock wino look.

Hey Magnus, We'll Be Your Tim Gunn

2010-03-30T11:28:00.013+02:00

I just had a brief conversation about jeans and pomade on Twitter with Magnus. He needs some help with his look and he just happened to write a blog post about wanting a Tim Gunn in his li fe, so here we go.

Saint 21 may not be able to guide Magnus through every step of his life, but we'll give it our best shot. Because we love y'all and we want to give every customer the best service we can.

I've never met Magnus in person, only looked at his blog and his twitter feed. But I found this on YouTube.

Aaaww... charming.
Anyhow, Magnus wants to look sharp. Like Morrissey did in 1992.

Photo by Linder Sterling, taken in 1992.

Magnus uses a combination of mousse, wax and hairspray most days. My first suggestion is a good quality pomade for his hair, like High Life Pomade in medium or light, depending on how fine his hair is. High Life pomades are not very shiny and that means you won't leave grease stains everywhere.

Next step - denim. The boys at HepCat Store are very good at jeans so ideally Magnus should drop by the shop to try a few styles on. Both Pace and Pike Brothers do very nice jeans in vintage styles. Pace Lowrider raw is one of our current best sellers.

Magnus should loosen up on the Moz style just a little and try something more rock n roll. Lovewright have a nice baseball tee with 3/4 sleeves. Or maybe this classic tee from so-cal speedshop.
Need a new jacket for spring? Try this traditional Harrington jacket in olive green by Brixton.

As a final touch I suggest the latest issue of Men's File and the album Misery by J.Tex.
Magnus, there is a light that never goes out at Saint 21... come and see us!

I should add that Magnus has no idea that I'm writing this and I hope he doesn't kill me.
