Cavotuesday:

Stoked to announce that we have restocked the popular Adams snapback in our official online store. This is actually a first for the brand, our pieces have always been offered in limited edition runs only. I damn near never reprint or restock anything but this hat was an exception. The fire was too hot to put out. I knew back when I was designing it that it was going to go fast. The killer combination of navy with the red and 3D puff embroidery on the front, plus the grass green under the bill just screams lifestyle Americana for young and old, its a universal one two three combo, you dig it, we all dig it, so I restocked it, rereleased it…I am stoked on the positive vibes and support from all the FAM. Thank you thank you.

Cavotuesday:

I thought about taking a sailing class after I saw this photo...then I thought about San Diego. (I believe this photo was taken near by). I lived in SD for almost 5 years but I never spent that much time near the ocean. Yes I took a ton of surfing classes, I mean "college one unit electives"…but in the bigger picture of all things San Diego, I was not a beach bum. I guess we all have our phases in life, I won't deny that I never had a "bum" phase but it definitely wasn't spent near the ocean. A friend of mine asked me to go surfing yesterday, I said "sorry dude, but I gotta work, maybe next time" but lately I have been thinking about this thing called LIFE, I have to start living more and working less or at least figure out a better combination of the two. Which reminds me that I will research the sailing classes, sounds like fun, sounds like NEW, and NEW is all good!!!

Eyes on the horizon boys…LOCAL TEE and ADAMS SNAPBACK. Represent!!! Keep it Cavotu boys.

I need to come up with a contest, gotta get creative here…

So the one thing that I wasn't able to pull the trigger on before I released the latest Cavotu collection was the "LOOKBOOK" concept. All the cool brands have this locked in before they release anything, they hype up the release with pretty pictures of pretty people wearing NEW, new everything…speaking of NEW, there is new snapback color way coming soon, maybe I will hype it up with some pretty photos…maybe.

Some fans have been sharing their recent pics, rad to see folks representing on the daily, I say Cavotu all day everyday but you say?? Wait what is really going on in this photo???

Pretty stoked on this one…

I had a HUGE interview yesterday with a popular local magazine. The article is still in the early stages so I will keep it hush hush for now but the issue will be coming out this April so I am grateful and appreciative of the press, I mean press is press, media hype is real son!

Things are going great here at Camp Cavotu, not sure why I keep using this "camp" reference, I never went to camp as a kid and I have really only been officially camping once and once was fucking enough. Regardless I like the way the alliteration rolls off my tongue. Yes, I like words and yes I like colors…

Still got some fresh threads in the webstore, have a looksy baby.

Keep jamming folks…

Ok ok

I rode my skateboard down by the marina the other day, it was a mellow cruise, mostly inspired by the sunshine, Vitamin D is a good thing but in moderation I suppose (skin cancer is real). I have been going through some new/old adjustments aka changes (no one likes changes)…I had a pretty solid weekly routine of being a parent, working, Cavotu, weight lifting, typical baby mama drama etc but I shook it up a bit…I have been struggling to get things back on track. 

I just read one of those silly FB posts titled "50 Things Every Man Should Realize" and for some odd reason I got sucked in. Here are a few I liked the most…

10. A strong work ethic is a good substitute for being smart.
I guess it all depends on who judges your level of smartness, I am not a doctor or a lawyer but I do have a college degree. For years I have been belittled by people in my circle as the "non smart" type yet, sounds like I need a new circle (I know!). For years I have slaved away at jobs that I don't love, working like a dog to make ends meet, saving up cash in order to invest in my brand as I try to not complain about my steady work schedule. I am a worker bee, I always have been. Yes I have a strong work ethic and yes I am fucking SMART. 


12. Don’t let your friends drift away, because they will if you let them.
As we get older this is pretty common thread, paths go different ways, with new jobs, schools, cities, families, the crew that we once had dwindles. Sure I let some good friends go and others for more obvious reasons. I have never been the type to run with the wolf pack but a solid support system is definitely appreciated when shit hits the fan. The lame part of this is that at 33 years young it is not easy to make new friends, not quality ones at least. 

14. If you’re not happy, stop what you’re doing and do something else. Right now.
This one is super powerful, I get it, I get it. I am happy when I am blogging so I will continue rambling on...


19. Don’t be an asshole. Seriously. Just don’t.
I tried being an asshole but it didn't even work. I realized that being assertive and standing up for myself was a much better approach. The reality is that I am still a nice guy who does the right thing but I have a tendency to forgive those who ruined me waaaay to easily.


29. Quality trumps quantity every time.
I have been a HUGE fan of quality in many areas of life, from the tee shirt on my back to the food in my fridge, to even friendships. Quality is key.


35. You can’t change the past. Let it go.
I have been a rearview mirror type of dude since day one. I know that I can't change the past but the letting go part is still a struggle.


45. Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve. A real man can control his emotions.
Now this is definitely a manly one. Full testosterone in #45. The funny thing is that one of the first ever Cavotu zip up hoodies that I had designed, it was actually a sample that never went into production but it had an embroidered heart on the inside left forearm. Love was part of why this brand got off the ground and unfortunately I was raised by a bunch of women, so when it comes to being emotional I am totally fucked in this area, I am not trying to fool anyone here.
