Wow.It's been a while as always... I don't even know what to say..CORRECTION: I don't even know what to say "on this blog that everyone reads publicly both good and bad".We took a little breather and didn't overthink anything.Everything you see that has come out of HH has been one person with very little help.It was supposed to be a different kind of run, but it ended up crazier and more influential than even I suspected.
We ran across all sorts of hardships and made do with what was available. Every fan made us into what we are and continue to do so even now...while shirts are sold out and marked as 895 dollars.You guys are still putting in work.
I have been a bit tight lipped about all of our projects and with good reason.There is no fun in giving away a great surprise and even less fun in sharing what you feel or put your passion into while dealing with both scrutiny,anxiety,and possible weirdness that goes alongside having your brand watched by many, including other brands.It's just not fun, but it's kind of how we rock.Sorry for not giving away more,at least not yet.
Back to things that matter.We are alive.There is new vision,a sense of calm and clarity is finally starting to make things less chaotic and it really just feels super nice to be dealing with all of you that mess with the brand or even just watch from afar.
I have run into kids on the street,in stores,or just via email that I would have never expected to know about or follow HH.It was kind of bunk to skip Christmas and fall altogether.But to be honest, it was necessary.
I don't share much of the process that goes into making HH work behind the scenes, but it's super tough. It takes a ton of energy to make amazing things and there isn't a lot of room for error when it is dealt with mostly via one person. Shipping,printing,design,admin,concepts... it all adds up and with little assistance, it can eat you up if you let it(no pun).
So, in short, we took a bit of time to rest,and also reflect.There have been a ton of you that just want gear like "NOW" and that is awesome,super thankful for all of you.But, once again, just had to make sure it was the right time, energy,and place to do our best work.
There is a ton planned for 2014 and for those of you that want tidbits into what we are working on.Make sure to get on the mailing list,twitter,and Instagram.This blogging thing is awesome beyond belief,but it always goes by the wayside once the big projects hit... I will just leave it at that ...for now.
Anyways, happy new year.Expect to hear more..and just hang tight. We are going to take things a bit farther than you will ever expect...higher as well. Here's to spacing out in 2014!!

Sup cool guys? Like always, it has been a second.The store is looking scarce and we are taking some much needed time to work on some magic that is worth waiting for. You guys have been turning up the heat on instagram lately with all of your awesome pictures rocking your gear.And also , it's been really fun interacting with you guys more on the Tumblr and fan page,as not all of you are (IG heads).
The holiday should be really fun this year as we are going to do some things different that will spark a lot more variety and fun than you can pack in a Pumpkin Spice Latte (my drink of choice during the holiday season).So, we look forward to seeing your response when some long awaited projects debut soon.
In the meantime, feel free to catch us on here as the post count will be going nowhere but up.And also,MAKE SURE TO GET ON THE MAILING LIST.There is stuff that you don't want to miss coming right your way anyday now.
Thanks as always for rocking with us and make sure to STAY HUNGRY.Love you guys! -h_h-

Also check out the new Self Sponsored hoodie available today for the ultimate combo..(no pun).. back to our regularly scheduled program...STAY HUNGRY! -h_h-

Fall is here...it's getting cold and we're getting old (birthday soon).The things that come to mind with the winter chill are comfort,worth, and tradition.
The whack thing about brands is the 'Winter Rush'.It's basically a million sleepers pushing products to market,overselling,under-producing,pimping,gouging, and kind of panicking to get stuff out before Christmas.We've fallen victim to that mindset before and I'll be honest in saying, it sucked.
So this year,with renewed clarity and an enlightened mindset.I've decided to forego the rush and just bring out stuff you guys need and want when it's primed.
What does primed mean to us you say? In a nutshell any piece you see out of HH takes 6-8 months to make from concept to execution.It's all carefully planned from the story,the motivations, music,sketches,..it's a really big production to say the least.
Out of the process you guys get to see maybe 10% of the effort that goes into a product,i.e. what you decide to wear.Our newfound goal is to explore each garment and be more mindful about letting people know about the love and energy that goes into a product so that you can not only feel the difference between HH and anything else on the planet, but know it as well as someone that works here does.That is primed.
Over the coming months there will be a lot of 'priming' and changes in the format and distribution that should work to make ever fan old and new feel that much better about supporting us.
With that said, there is a new addition to the shop in the pullover Self-Sponsored hoodie debuting today in the shop .We opted for a thicker,higher quality cotton, that is more dense and is suitable not only for West Coast weather, but even the biting chill and snowy winters abroad.It's really quite the difference and the thought of it makes me feel warm.
Also there are a ton of other projects in the works that you guys will soon be privy to, just make sure to keep your eyes on the Instagram and subscribe to the mailing list if you haven't already (shame on you!! ).That's the best and fastest way to connect to all things HH before the rest of the world does..and you want to be connected right? We all do. Stay Hungry and here's to a great fall/winter -h_h-
