NEW ARRIVALS: JUNGMAVEN June 21 2016

Happy Summer, ya'll! Service Menswear is fully stocked with Jungmaven striped tanks and tees to usher in the heat.
a
Jungmaven founder Robert Jungmann has been working with hemp textiles and natural dyes since 1993. All the knits are dyed with indigo, black tea, coffee, and turmeric.
a
Jungmaven's vision is to get everyone in a Hemp T-Shirt by 2020. Why? The more farming of industrial hemp the better for the environment. Hemp cleans oxygen, water and nourishes the land. Hemp uses very little to no pesticides or insecticides and needs a fraction of the water that cotton takes to grow. 
a
The knits are a hemp/organic cotton blend, giving them a soft hand feel and good structure. They are also Made in the USA, which we love.

RVCA X MATT LEINES February 26 2016

Matt Leines is a Brooklyn based artist that grew up in New Jersey and studied illustration at RISD. His influences range from suburban American culture to primitive and non-western art, myths to masks, He-Man cartoons, and the WWF. Leines creates a surreal, obsessive, highly detailed world inhabited by men and beasts and everything in between, chronicling their conflict and culture.

"If I stumble upon something, I try to draw it in my sketchbook as quick as possible. I like to look at a lot of different paintings from different cultures where you have to infer what is going on. If there is something I come across, an image, a composition, an idea, I just draw it--and I'll use the word bastardized--until the initial influence has disappeared and it exists only in my world."

For the Matt Leines/RVCA collaboration featured in the above items, the focus is on the stylized lightening bolt and the tiger "mask", which are recurring images/characters throughout his work. Leines work has steadily been shown all around the world since 2002, namely at Deitch Projects in NYC, Roberts and Tilton in LA, in Athens, Greece and Tokyo, Japan.

Shop for the tee, tank and socks in our brick and mortar store or the online store. The beach towel is exclusive to in store.

RVCA IS HERE FOR SUMMER May 07 2015

It is no secret Service has a fondness for surf and skate inspired brands. We began selling RVCA when the brand launched in 2001. We were attracted to the collection because it was simple, affordable and durable. Today, almost fifteen years later, each collection maintains those same design sensibilities season after season. Now a much larger enterprise, RVCA remains a great value and a celebration of its casual surf/skate roots.

We sold the original Recession Collection at our Campus store because it was super affordable and cool. It was designed with a Dickies vibe and introduced poly cotton durable blends to skaters, couriers, baristas and students. The Recession Collection pant and short were the original inspiration for what is now the Weekend Chino, a mainstay in RVCA’s broader offering. Then the shorts were basically short versions of Dickies pants. Shirts were poly cotton versions of a two pocket work shirt like guys wore at gas stations and auto garages mostly sold by Dickies at the time. RVCA was the perfect compliment to our Vans offering. They are still great together.

We brought RVCA and Vans with us to South Congress when we moved in early 2002.

Never missed a season. The RVCA founders drank beer at the shows and threw crunched cans on the ground. No reps at the beginning. They showed at ASR (Action Sports Retailer), a skate and surf show with pros and demos that no longer exists but helped build what is now Agenda.

The Artist's Network Program was very exciting to me and early customers because it supported artists and gave them an opportunity they wouldn't otherwise have. That's how I started as well, designing images for tees for my wholesale brand Service long before I had a retail store. Thankfully, RVCA continues to support outsider art through ANP.

Back then RVCA seemed real, raw and relevant, not unlike Altru, Mollusk or Almond, now. We still love the RVCA team’s smart designs.

Today, RVCA maintains an important place in our assortment. Have a look at our new arrivals including shorts, tees, tanks, swim trunks, and shirts.

In addition, we will always offer RVCA short sleeve and long sleeve oxford shirts in core and seasonal colors, as well as the Weekend Chino, all available in the store and online.

This Fall, we will re-introduce Dickies at Service with the Dickies Construct Collection. Work wear inspired pants and jackets with a modern fit. The Recession Collection is also back as a special collection within the RVCA brand. The clothing will feature the original label on staple basics like cotton tees, sweatshirts and chinos.
