Kispiox CYC brand

[super]

So I was browsing around rakuten and I found this obscure brand called Kispiox that's made by CYC. Looks just like W+H but slightly different:

this got me thinking; what other labels use CYC besides the ones we all know already?

just picked that shawl collar one up. it's really nice. i also think its made by CYC, but now sure. Fleece lined, etc. very nice, made in BC as well....

i dunno if they are giving a bunch of BS in their description but

it says w+h changed the label name once again to kispiox.

so it is wings and horns / spruce / w+h

Can you do a translation?

And no, they're private label, not a house brand. So while we do the mfg and fabric sourcing and all the fun stuff, it's not our label. Their fits, styles, design choices.

a customer of mine just bought that cardigan in navy and it looked really nice. great quality. it got me interested in purchasing some myself.

i'll contact some of the stores selling it and see what information they can give me on the brand. will post updates here.

INTRODUCING: KISPIOX

I remember back in 2004 I picked up a zip up sweatshirt by some small Canadian company called Spruce who’s focus was on making high end basics. I found out it was the house line of CYC Design Corp., who is responsible for producing the sweatshirts for Yoko Devereaux, Alife and Supreme. Years later and a bunch of name changes (Wings and Horns, w+h, Reigning Champ…) later, it is rumored that the w+h brand is being replaced by Kispiox. (Couldn’t they have thought of a better name?) The brand is named after The Kispiox Valley, a region in British Columbia. (CYC is from BC too). Anyways, its pretty simple stuff and they are doing a split pocket hoody, a crew neck and a shawl collar cardigan to start. Keep your eyes open for more info on the brand.

wow this thread actually got bumped. Thanks for the link

I want the black pullover split pocket hoody and the grey sweat but they're both gone.

Boo.

[sybaritical]

Anyone can sort it out give me a shout I'll pony up the cash double quick.

ok, so the quality isn't as great as W+H stuff, even though they're made by the same people. The top white loop for the top button came undone, and after putting it in the dryer, a button just fell off today. I really like it, it's warm and comfy, just wish it was a bit better constructed

what a terrible name... what was wrong with wings + horns / w+h?!?

[transactionfee]

they change names more than a 14 year old counter strike player. wtf.

Kane works for CYC and produces W+H.

Please try again.

yeah, the article is wrong, unless Kane is full of shit, which I doubt.

Try again

Hey - that 'article' is from my site - all I said was apparently that the names were changed, which was gathered from the Japanese sites, but I guess I was wrong as I don't speak Japanese. Thanks for clearing things up.

the japanese online shop posted by the OP provided incorrect info

wings+horns/spruce never changed their name to reigning champ either, reigning champ is another house brand i believe

Does CYC, W+H/Spruce, Reigning Champ, etc. make/sell sweatpants?

I only ever see fleece tops, anyone have info on where to get some bottoms if they exist?
