If I’m not wearing CRAPs, I tend to stick to the classics – Moscot and Persol; however, after watching this video, I will be giving Oliver Peoples a second glance.

This collection was inspired by classic Southern California summers – long days in the sun, surf trips to Baja, the Pacific and warm boozy nights at the beach.

We are proud to say the entire collection was hand crafted in Los Angeles from materials sourced locally. The colorways we chose are inspired by the many moods of the ocean and our beautfiul coastline. Premium chambrays, denims and corduroys are the basis of the collection while Hawaiian print linings, run stitched waves and waxed canvas patches provide the details Ampal is known for. We are offering four new snapbacks in our custom 6 panel block and introducing our new painters cap.

FROTHIN’ Snap Back in Frostee Blue

Custom Ampal 6 Panel Snap Back Baseball Cap
Frostee Blue Corduroy Upper
Embroidered Waxed Canvas Patch
Rope Detail
Purple Haze Hawaiian Lining

It was really hard to find the corduroy we had in mind. After scouring warehouses in the Fashion District we found the perfect two rolls. We bought them on the spot and made as many of each as we could. 36 Charcoal and 104 Blue

There‘s even a little story behind the patch. Even though we’ve used waxed canvas in an application that doesn’t utilize its inherent waterproof functionality, we still found the best there is. Sourced from an almost 200 year old, American company, this stuff acquires an amazing patina with wear.

TUBULA RASA Snap Back

Custom Ampal 6 Panel Snap Back Baseball Cap
Premium Italian Chambray Crown
Sky Denim Brim and Button

Downtown Gray Hawaiian Lining

After finding a lot of flimsy chambray options from Chinese mills, we knew we had found the right material. Unlike their Eastern counterparts, this sturdy Italian chambray is worthy of its fabled blue collar past. This premium material is the perfect summer weight and we celebrated it’s rich texture with a clean blank design. The Downtown Gray Hawaiian lining gives it the subtle swagger we’re known for.

OCCY Painters Cap
Premium Italian Chambray Upper
Natural Cone Denim Brim and Button
Run Stitch Wave Embroidery
Paradise Hawaiian Lining & Stash Pocket

Inspired by a circa 1988 cap, I found a few years ago in a vintage store on Haight in SF, this is the premier of our Painters Cap. It has a short 1 3/4” brim that you can flip up and a stash pocket in the lining. It is fully lined for structure, but has no buckram, so it is fully crushable and well suited for traveling.

Sizes: S/M & L/XL

ALOHA Snap Back

Custom Ampal 6 Panel Snap Back Baseball Cap
Hawaiian Print Upper
Hawaiian Lining

A last minute addition to the line, the ALOHA snap back was made from a few different Aloha prints. No 2 are exactly the same and only 12 – 36 pieces a print will be offered.

Future Vintage. Bringing the tropical fashion heat from Byron Bay Australia, outta the Future Vintage vision of our homie Sean Stickley. Straight Lordin’


These T’s, Tanks and Boardies are all cut n sew and really capture the feel of Future Vintage for me.


This summer’s collection has expanded to include custom button ups, cardigans as well as the introduction of FV Leather.

The tropical feel is nicely juxtaposed with a late 80s early 90s fashion feel.

Sean has also created some nice accessories to compliment the line – scarves, leather belts and jewelry such as this pendant.

My brother, Nick Potash, has been crafting some amazing jewelry lately and was picked up by one of the premier jewelry boutique/tattoo parlor in New York – New York Adorned. They recently featured an interview with him on their site and its worth reading – heres an excerpt:

“Where do you draw your inspiration from: Old things have always been better in my mind. I like to think that someone could pick up one of my pieces and think it was really ancient and wonder what it had seen in its life. That’s one thing about jewelry which drew me to working with metal, my creations are going to outlast all of us, no question. They might be lost to the sea or time but they will take millions and millions of years to decompose. This brings up thoughts about mortality, how a ring could have seen ten lifetimes before finding its way onto your finger…. these ideas make my mind wonder and imagination fire. I recently became aware that Nietzsche, Jung, and Freud all talk about archetypal symbols speaking to a primitive part of peoples’ mind. I’ve experienced this before at a museum as a kid, I remember seeing these old masonic crests and relief carvings and being completely fascinated by them. The skulls, eyes, pyramids, and weird symbols I’d never seen before made me go crazy with thoughts about secret societies and ancient wisdoms. I try and tap into that same vein when I work. I like to think that on a beach somewhere out there a vacationing hipster lost one of my rings and it was found by some local kid who thought he’d found pirate treasure and always told the story that way.”

Nick crafts everything by hand, here in Venice Beach, using traditional 100% hand crafted methods.

This was my belated birthday present – well worth the wait!!! 1/1 Poseidon’s Posse Bronze Pendant set with an antique scrimshaw and 2 black diamonds. Silver Chain.
