Who is Jacob the Jeweler?

 
Jacob Arabo, better know as Jacob the Jeweler, is one of the most infamous jewelers of all time, having worked with everyone from Jay-Z to Elton John.  Born and raised in Russia for the early years of his life, Jacob always had a great fascination with jewelry. After moving to the United States, Jacob began studying jewelry design during his teenage years. After noticing his obvious talent, he then took his craft to New York’s Diamond District, creating unique pieces for numerous jewelry labels and private clients. In the mid-1990’s, after opening his own shop a few years prior, Jacob caught the attention of Faith Evans and The Notorious B.I.G.. From there, Jacob The Jeweler became a trademark name in custom-made jewelry. He is currently serving a two and a half year jail sentence for money laundering in ties with the Black Mafia Family. - R.S.V.P. Gallery

Mercedes Benz | F800 Style

 

So can I be honest with you? The word futuristic to me is by far the wackest word in the urban world today, but in reference to this car I would let it slide. This is the new Mercedes Benz. With its sleek, well crafted, and before its time look, this Benz makes me think futuristic. Check the pictures on the inside to see what I'm talking about.

Highsnobiety Giveaway | Mishka's World's Largest New Era Fitted

The world’s largest New Era cap belongs to and lives at Mishka.
“Some time ago, we approached New Era about producing this mammoth of hat. Why? Simply because we wanted to know if we could make the world’s largest New Era. It seemed to be the perfect opportunity to take our iconic Keep Watch logo to the next level.
And much to our delight, New Era obliged. We were then graced with a 16″ Keep Watch New Era. The first of its kind but definitely not the last. It then snowballed into four more giant hats because of how pleased we were the first one.
So as such, we’ve decided that if anyone is deserving of the biggest hat, it should be one of Mishka’s biggest fans.”
Mishka has teamed up with High Snob to give away the giant Keep Watch New Era….
Here’s how it works:
1. Join our Facebook group. If you’re already a member then you’re good so far.
2. Post a photo of yourself wearing a Mishka New Era Cap on the Highsnobiety Facebook Wall (or post it direct to the Fan photos album here).
3. Get creative! The best photo (as chosen by the Mishka dudes) will win the giant cap.
More looks at the Mishka Size 16 Keep Watch New Era Cap after the click.

Common Projects | 2010 Spring 5 Hole Slip On

The Common Project slips on are a simple, straight to the point, & yet dope shoe. I've notice a lot of different brands who focus solely on footwear or are just trying to stick their foot in the footwear game are taking some pages out of the Vans book. I'm not mad at them as long as they are paying respect, you know? These 5 Hole slip on joints are definitely dope though. If i can get my hands on a pair I'll go ahead and release the where to on them. Stay Posted!

Vegas | Crooks & Castle Fall/ Winter 2010 | Duplicating?


I'm not really sure what to say about O'le Crooks & Castle. These shoes are reflecting an Alife/ Van(Half -Cab) pretty tough. I've never really been into Crooks & Castle, and it seems the streetwear brand is fading into the shadows of others slowly but surely. I've seen fake Crooks & Castle floating around Chattanooga, and that is definitely not a good look. We're all about cool ish over here though so I'll let this one be you decide though, Crooks & Castle Alife/Van?

The mixtape is cool not getting to much rotation around here, but a solid mixtape none the less.
