Cut out Kelly and this would have way more potential

I hope this means the quality goes up. I used to like the LRG shorts as they fit me well

but when they killed the skate team, within a year or two the quality did a nosedive imho

Maybe it's generational, but twisting out of slides the hard way should be called a Watson, not a Suciu.

Check and Mate, good sir.

Isn’t Suciu more known for twisting in? And though Karl has a mean bs half-cab fs nosegrind to fs 180 out, his twists *out* feel more distinctive. Perhaps this could serve as the basis for a generational truce

Fun fact. LRG was the first "skate jean" to have stretch in them. I thought they were goofy as fuck at first.

I thought Circa or something associated to Muska was the first ones to have that. Could be wrong.

LRG was always such a strange brand, imo. Never understood why they were in skating to begin with...especially with people like Billy Marks on their team during the last iteration.
Yeah, I always associated them more with street wear (like Marlo decked out in it in The Wire), and underground hip-hop. Their team always struck me as a bit weird having guys like Marks and Sandoval on it. Although, I'll always love that Jack Curtain part skating to Diamond District. That def fit LRG to a tee.

I've always wondered… why the fuck does "1947" play such a big role in the branding? Karl's shirt in the video says "original research group since 1947" and I always thought it was strange to be so cryptic on an otherwise straightforward apparel brand.

I mean, aside from the giraffe stuff (dafuq?)

"Lifted Research Group (commonly known as LRG) ... Started in 1999 by Co-Creators Jonas Bevacqua and Robert Wright."

"Where did the acronym for this forward thinking brand originate? It’s actually a well thought out concept.

Lifted is a sense of vision, it’s seeing above everybody. Being above the crowd, that’s a big thing, the giraffe (logo) has always played a part of. The giraffe is the animal with the biggest heart and sees above all,” the Marketing Coordinator informed. “Research is the study and design of our culture, and Group is the collective of individuals who support and inspire the brand.”

Even the company’s logos have deeper meanings. From the roots symbolizes creation of where ideas first take hold, to the tree itself showing strength and capabilities. The cycle logo that is often used around the tree represents constant renewal, evolution, growth, and change. Lastly, 1947 and 47 were included as a tribute to Jonas’ mom, her age when she pushed Bevacqua to pursue his dreams."

My favorite LRG piece ever was a crewneck sweatshirt with a kangaroo pocket in front like the ones you find on hoodies.

Then my bitch of an ex took it.

Never have a found another crewneck with that feature. I miss that sweatshirt way more than I miss her.
this one has a collar, but…

Want the a LRG backpack that had a fold out tiny chair that detached from it. I remember still having a working Mula dialer bag for years, and then getting the chair bag to rock as well. Lot King status for a year or two. Pretty sure this was pre Phish hiatus, buy again maybe lrg didn't make the chair bag

*Maybe chair bag combo was 555Soul.

Yea Marlo wearing LRG was dope, wasn't marlo jamaican in the show? 

I remember watching the LRG skate video at FTC in Japan in 09 and thinking the same about the team, strange mix of styles not associated with underground hip hop or reggae lifestyle

They jumped the shark when they made the full zip skull hoodie. That was when they crossed over in trying to be a Bape brand. That was also when Krew did a full zip which sold like hot cakes too.

LRG reminds me of like the gateway to pink polo Kanye and Gap Common.    Maybe like Phrenology era The Roots

I've always fucked with LRG, even bought some kits over covid. Some of their shit is great, some of it is ho hum; not much is straight up wack. Found a lot of great items on clearance at Ross. At worst, you're probably just gonna wear something generic from them. They had a cool mixtape CD in the early 2000s. I do still associate Jack Curtain with it.

Edit: kook me if u want, idgaf, i fucks with their tiger-style shit heavy.

Nah, Sandoval was a great fit for LRG. On his old insta he shared his reggae/dub vinyl collection.
