Artist Spotlight

Heyo! So I'm gonna be doing these spotlights on the artists/musicians that are sponsored by Capra Clothing Co.

It is no particular order. They are all amazing at what they do and I'm totally grateful they are a part of this company. I'd like to think of us as a family, we are all friends and we work together so we can thrive individually.

So first spotlight. An aspiring singer/songwriter and good friend Marco Patitucci.

He is from the Bay Area. He is 22 and started playing guitar in 2005.

His influences range widely from Weezer and Johnny Cash to Brian McKnight and Boyz II Men.

He describes his style as a combination of Fergie and Jesus. Awesome.

He is ridiculous on guitar and plays mellow, lyrically driven songs that incorporate his experiences and humor.

You can check out his music on either his Myspace or Youtube pages (Youtube is more current and has more music and videos).

Please check him out, follow his music, and stay posted! He'll be doing some local shows soon.

Button Packs

I've been working with a friend over at FuzzyInk, John Paul and we've been discussing doing some custom button packs for the line. Well today I got an awesome preview of how they turned out. He does amazing work! 

There is going to be lots of series coming out. Sort of a collectable thing, so make sure you start your collection off right with Series 1!

Check out his line, FuzzyInk. He has some cool tees and awesome mustache button packs!! Everyone should own one of those!

These will be available starting on May 20.

Freshstock Feature

This feature was a couple weeks ago on thefreshstock.com, an awesome site run by some local Bay Area guys. They're awesome and love to feature up-and-coming hip-hop clothing lines. Too many dashes in that sentence.

So anyways, here is the bio with pics that I sent in. It was a lot of fun doing this and hopefully in the future, you will see Capra in a lot more blogs and such.

Capra Clothing Co. was founded in 2008 by Kim Suarez, a Bay Area art design student. It is an extremely new line, with an official launch date of May 2o, 2009. It reflects the hip-hop/skate streetwear of the Bay Area and focuses on bold and intricate designs.

We feel being as personal as possible is important in a clothing line. We do this by talking directly with the customers, getting feedback and really trying to get to know the people that wear our clothes.

We also love supporting local artists and musicians. It is important to help out the community and the up-and-coming new local talent. We sponsor and support local musicians, hip-hop artists and film directors, among others.

Although we are very new, we have gained a lot of momentum locally and support from all over California is growing. 

In the near future we are looking towards expansion into hats (some are in production currently), skate decks, hoodies, custom prints and denim. We are also looking to feature our clothes in local stores and online retailers.

We only print on the highest quality American Apparel products and all our printing is done at AKT Enterprises in Orlando, Fl. 

We will have a site up and running in the next couple of months but in the meantime please heck us out at:

Thanks to the Freshstock for getting Capra Clothing Co. its first feature. This site is awesome and it's great to see so much support for up-and-coming brands. It's definitely a must for anyone interested in hip-hop fashion and underground clothing lines.

Look for this is the not too distant future. It'll blow your mind..

Newest Addition to the Capra Family!

Hey guys!! It's been a little while but since my launch is only a few weeks away, I'll be posting hopefully everyday now.

Starting off with a new awesome addition to the Capra family, hip-hop artist/producer based out of Texas, E*Klipse Tha Champloo!!! 

Go check out his Blog and Myspace. They're pretty awesome. The Long Road is a sick track!

New Hats for Launch!/Launch Update

Hey!! So we've just gave the go ahead for some new hats that will hopefully be ready for the launch.

They are embroidered on FlexFit hats. The colors are grey, mint green and light purple.

Also, we are looking to get some matching tees into production in the next month and release them as a bundle.

As for the launch, we have three shirts as of now that will be available for sure. They are the Blazing Guns, Summer Love and Script/Logo Tees. 

LAUNCH UPDATES

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been updating this blog. I have been super busy lately getting everything together.

Some good news: Got the order of logo tees, buttons and stickers in this past week! They all look amazing!!! I'm gonna get some pics up soon.

Some bad news: My hard drive on my Mac book died and nothing was backed up so it's currently getting the data recovered, which might cost me up to $1500. Not cool..

But this has given me some free time to put the launch together!

We're looking at a launch date of May 15, 2009. If all goes well, we will have a lineup of 4 tee designs (Logo, Dancing Girl, Heart (girls only), Guns). There is a chance we might not get all them all in but we are trying very hard!

We are also trying to get stickers, buttons, limited edition button packs and posters ready by that date as well. 

I'll post some pics as soon as I get my laptop back. Thanks guys!!
