Penfield: 35 And Counting
It's safe to say that RubyHornet has been down with Penfield for a minute now. Between their stylish, functional outerwear, and constantly evolving menswear line, the brand is quickly becoming a cult favorite over here. We thought it was time to reach out to our friends at Penfield and get their story straight from the source. We asked them to give us a rundown of the brand and their products, then picked their brains on a few select topics regarding the menswear world. This year, Penfield celebrates their 35th year, and we got a taste of what's gotten them this far, and what will continue to keep Penfield at the center of attention moving forward. Rest assured we'll have a preview of Fall/Winter 2010 coming to you soon. Until then, hit the jump for the interview.
Beat Connection: "In The Water"
Most music commentary recently has relied heavily on the low German base of the English language.

Ice Cube: "Drink The Kool Aid" Video
Ice Cube adds some visuals to "Drink The Kool Aid" off his forthcoming I Am The West LP. For somebody who has become a mainstay of family comedy films, Ice Cube goes pretty hard. I'd like to see "Are We There Yet" license that chorus... know who you f**king with indeed.
