P&CO CAPS FEATURE | JAVELIN BLOCK

 
IT’S NO SECRET THAT WE’RE PROUD OF OUR BADASS TEES- IN FACT THEY’RE PROBABLY WHAT WE’RE MOST RECOGNISED FOR! BUT OUR EVER-GROWING CAP COLLECTION IS EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT, AND WITH THE ADDITION OF OUR TWO NEW RIDE OR DIE PIECES- SKULL & ARROWS AND THE FLASH PANTHER 6 PANELS, IT’S ONLY GETTING BETTER.
 
THEREFORE WE THOUGHT IT ONLY RIGHT THAT WE GIVE THEM THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE- A FEW WORDS, NEW HEADSHOTS AND A MOMENT UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT… YET THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY WINDOW SILLS, WORKTOPS AND WALLS THAT WE CAN NAIL STUFF TO, TO GET THOSE RAD LIFESTYLE SHOTS AT P&CO HQ. SO WE ROUNDED UP BOTH OUR BEST SELLERS & NEW COLLECTION CAPS AND TOOK THEM TO THE COMPOUND.
 
THE COMPOUND IS A 10,000 SQUARE FT FORMER TEXTILE FACTORY BASED HERE IN BIRMINGHAM, UK, THAT HAS BEEN HAS BEEN GIVEN A NEW LEASE OF LIFE BY INDUSTRIAL RE-DEVELOPERS JAVELIN BLOCK. USED AS BOTH A RESIDENTIAL AND CREATIVE SPACE, THE EXPOSED BRICK WALLS, UP-CYCLED FITTINGS & FURNISHINGS, THE RECLAIMED WOODEN FLOORING AND THE GENERAL ATTENTION TO DETAIL HAS MADE IT A DESIRABLE LOCATION FOR FILM, MUSIC AND THE MEDIA; AS WELL AS THE PERFECT BACKDROP FOR OUR HEADWEAR.
 
WE KNOW ABOUT BUILDING SOMETHING FROM NOTHING AND WE’RE NOT AFRAID TO REWORK A FAVOURITE GRAPHIC OR QUOTE- WHICH IS WHY WE WERE SO STOKED TO HAVE SHOT IN A ‘BUILDING’ THAT EMBODIES THESE QUALITIES. ALL IT TAKES IS A BIT OF BUILDING INTEGRITY AND THE DEDICATION OF THE LOCAL CRAFTSMEN, ARTISTS AND “GYPSIES”, THAT WORK ALONGSIDE JAV-BLOCK FOUNDER STUART HOLT TO CREATE SOMETHING AS TIMELESS AND IMPRESSIVE AS THE COMPOUND (AND ITS 25 SEAT CINEMA, SPEAKEASY BAR AND ART STUDIO).
 
NOW BACK TO THE CAPS:
