These Element denim shorts available now from their Spring 2010 collection come as a slim fit and although made from 100% Cotton they wear well with perfect amount of stretch so you can skate in them. The quality of the denim is superior and save cutting down those old jeans for use as the summer kicks in.
Check out the Cliff’s for yourself, they are out there retailing in the right stores for about £50.
Element’s new Voyage Polo is light as hell and extremely soft to the touch. It’s a slim, but comfortable fit made from 100% cotton and also really lightweight and great for a real summer’s day which we all know is bound to hit soon enough!
This is an amazing skate combo, both practically and style wise and comes with small embroidered logo on the chest pocket and a small logo on the back. They come in red and black and will set you back just under £40, search them out in your local skater owned shop.
I’d put these new Eternal shorts down for a day at the beach rather than a bowl. They give off a more respectable appearance and feel slightly more designer than redneck. I love having a pair of pimping shorts in my collection, girls love good pants and I love good girls, you do the math.
The Intersection Shirt is actually one of the nicest garments I’ve ever received from Element. The shirt has an Oxford style feel to it with a chambray appearance. It’s lightweight 100% cotton though, fitted and extremely nice to wear. I do actually skate in it, but I know I’d be cheesed off when I eventually hang up and slide across the concrete tearing it to shits but hey-ho.
This combination goes well together, if you like this then click here for more from this year’s Element Spring 2010 collection.

Linda, the bass player of Teenagers In Tokyo has been hanging out with us Crossfire peeps every Sunday for the last 2 months, finally their album is scheduled for 24th May and is a mash up of disco-fueled indie from 4 stunning Aussie girls and a bearded dude on the hammers. Enjoy their ‘End It Tonight’ video from the ‘Sacrifice’ album on your travels and look out for them this weekend at The Great Escape festival in Brighton.
Interpol have announced that bassist Carlos Dengler has left the band, following the completion of their fourth studio album.
