Featured Designer: Pendleton
At Kokorokoko we love Pendleton. The brand is synonymous with quality and is so classically American it never goes out of style. Pendleton has been a family owned business for over 140 years. Unreal! Their plaid button-up shirts are a staple in hip hop, grunge and indie fashion as well as getting heavy rotation on the costruction site for their warmth and durability. Below is the sickest Indian blanket inspired Pendleton sweater we scored from Bummer Town Vintage at the Drunk Mall last week.
We always have something Pendleton in stock at Kokorokoko! Check out this button up in the webshop right now.

80s Banana Republic Travel & Safari Clothing
In the 1980s, Banana Republic was still a purveyor of Indian imports, Israeli army surplus and other exotic goods aimed at yuppie armchair adventurers. These safari boots are a perfect example of the jungle "Crocodile Dundee" look that Banana Republic popularized. The boots are also reminiscent of Vivienne Westwood's pirate boots.
Here is a picture of Spandau Ballet wearing the look in a promo photo:
