Keds kids


Just got in new leather Keds . So exciting $70. black and brown . Give Chuck the day off.

Checkered past

If your wondering if plaid shirts are back in style, the answer is yes. By the way they really never went out. The beauty of this geometric masterpiece is that everyone looks at it differently from Johnny Depp to Johnny Appleseed. The Scottish should probably get the credit but, leave it to the US of A to roll it out to Everyman. Manhattan lumberjacks, rock stars and hardworking ditch diggers all agree plaid ain't bad. Come to Hub and look at the half acre of plaid madness. I'm not kidding it looks like a thermos factory exploded in here. All price ranges from $58 to WTF?

Quality in?


Here's a thought. In twenty years what will vintage clothing and furniture stores be selling?
Take this scenario . "Honey look over here a bookcase from a large Swedish furniture store made in 2004". Not likely unless it's in a bag. Or ," Hey a vintage overcoat from a huge Swedish clothing store". Nope threw it away after one season. Don't get me wrong I get the whole good design for the masses movement, I guess what I am trying to say is save up and buy quality. Nobody ever regrets buying the best. I obviously have ulterior motives since Hub does it's best to sell merchandise that will last. I have a pair of Diesel jeans from 1997 a few years after we launched the line in Phoenix . Guess what? I can still wear them. At that time they were $98 which was very expensive . Let's see $98 divided by 13 years. $7.50 a year I wore them every week . Comes out to about fifteen cents a wearing. Look who's saving money.

Sole to Soul


What will you wear to Sharon Jones this month? How about a pair of these futuristic new ZRK boots. Kinda like a desert boot if the desert is on Mars . Good for dancing and running to Hub to buy a new Woolrich shirt or those black Diesel jeans. These are items that will last more than a season. Remember quality?
