Plain Gravy is one of those special brands that sits somewhere in between streetwear and fashion. Created by artist Tofer and Todd Tourso, the brand stays true to its Californian roots in their style and manages to attract both the hardcore streetwear customer and the more casual and fashionable dresser, which is an interesting situation to be in. Maybe its simply because they are trying less hard than so many others out there (at least it seems that way), which ends up giving their line a certain lightness.
Anyways, their new collection is about to be released. The new Plain Gravy Summer ‘08 collection consists of t-shirts, crewneck sweaters, hoodies and shorts, as well as some accessories.
The collection will be hitting stores at the end of May, so make sure to look out for it. A complete look at what to expect, after the jump.
