you have gottt to be kidding me... no wonder people would rather have those supreme knock offs...errr im sorry, "polo inspired"

LoLifes created a movement...

Fucking cocksuckers with their daddy's checkbook want to be a part...

Maybe a few real Lo heads bid on those...but I doubt any cats who were gettin' hats like that for next to nothing back in the day (boost 'em! stick 'em!) would drop a quick 6 stack on 'em.

For a Snow Beach "Raekwon" joint though...that price is a little more justifiable.

I have a license plate hoodie and a cool wave long bill hat that my uncle gave me. He was a real lo life; stole shit from maceys and everything.I never wear them, but it feels good to have them.

[heBAY]

Yes sir...that's what I'm talkin about.

A few of my dudes were Lo Lifes...fuckin' with King Lo and all of them heavy.

Boosting and Lo piece stick-ups...that's all I would hear about. Them dudes got it in.

Looks like it has been post-production heavy enzyme washed to me.

i.e it's supposed to look that way.

Someone able to fill me in on the "Lolife", what is this? What does this hat have to do with it?

This is taken from the hypebeast forum regarding the subject.

yea i thought he was i foudn the answer tho

The name Lo-Lifes came about in '88 when Big Vic Lo (Thirstin Howl III) got caught talking to a girl after he just got another girl's phone number. The girl said "you are a low-life" in a disrespectful manner. His reply, "you are right!" "I wear Lo everyday and "Lo" is my life. Then everybody replied, "that's right", We are Lo-Lifes!". It was never officially voted on, or anything it was just the name we lived by.

The Lo-Lifes were originally composed of two boostin posse's from different sections in Brooklyn. There was the Crown Heights half who were originally known as "Ralphies Kids" (Ralph Lauren's Kids). That name being made by G-George whom lived on St. John's and Utica Avenue, which was also where Ralphies Kids could be found. Then there was the Brownsville half who were originally called POLO U.S.A. (United Shoplifters Association). That name being made up by Ski-Lo and Pumpkin (RIP). The Brownsville half were all mostly from the Marcus Garvey Village, with others from Van Dyke Houses.

before vintagegearaddicts

most of the people who were into it copped this stuff for cheap on eBay...

after vga came online...a ton of people started to fiend for Lo...even the vintage sellers on eBay nowadays know the terms "suicide ski", "snow beach", and "plates jacket"...etc.

I think that "info from hypebeast" is actually from an article the people at vintagegearaddicts did with the dude.
