Thank you to everyone who came out for our exclusive Reebok Answer IV "Stepover" release event last Friday night. From the people who traveled from different states near and far to cop their pairs, to the artists who helped to create our amazing gallery, to the Lapstone & Hammer team who worked their butts off at the party and the days leading up to it - this night would not have been possible without your support.
Philadelphia's hottest menswear boutique is once again teaming up with the city’s most iconic sportswear brand to create another collection of unique, one-of-a-kind, custom snapbacks. Lapstone & Hammer and Mitchell & Ness present the "Black Destructed Denim" hat collection: a pack of eight hats featuring 7 NBA teams - the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, and a Lapstone & Hammer branded hat as well. The collection will be releasing in-store at Lapstone & Hammer and online at lapstoneandhammer.com on June 2nd at 10:00 a.m.
On Saturday, October 15th, Lapstone & Hammer will celebrate our first year in existence with a lavish party at our shop that will feature the release of the latest in our series of award-winning collaborations: The Lapstone & Hammer x Gentry + Rose Denim Collection. These two emerging forces in the Philadelphia menswear scene have joined forces to create an exciting new collection with eight different styles of jeans made from premium Japanese and American raw denim, and handcrafted in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. With six styles in a Modern Slim Tapered fit that has more of a tailored feel, and two styles in a Classic Slim Straight which is a slightly slimmer fit than a classic straight leg, there is something here to please every denim lover.
Next month, Lapstone & Hammer is partnering with Philadelphia bespoke denim label, Gentry + Rose, to release our first collaborative denim collection. The collaboration will feature an extremely limited run of 100 pairs of jeans in seven different styles. To get a better understanding of what goes into the making of this collection, we sent our photographer Evan Kaucher down to the Gentry + Rose workshop to capture the artisans in action.
