You may have already about the "incident" that happened on set in Vancouver... but if not, here's the long story short: A film Director told a crew member to remove their "Black Lives Matter" shirt or go home - claiming it was a violation of dress code (and that saying "black lives matter" was akin to hate speech). This sent waves through the region on numerous levels and put a spot light on the film industry that was far from flattering. On a parallel track we were already producing our own "Black Lives Matter" tees to raise awareness against prejudice...

If you're anything like us, then you probably love a good cocktail (or three). So you can imagine how much fun we had hosting Shayne and Nicole from 'Born to Shake' on the second episode of our new podcast ("The Grey Hearts Podcast" - shameless plug). They showed us how to make three separate cocktails, and subsequently showed them how to cheers and crush em quick time! You can find the video segments from each cocktail demo below, or you can check out the full blog video on Youtube (or listen on Spotify or Google Podcasts). Of course we had...

Yeah, we may have a biased opinion... but we're pretty sure Pandosy street is home to more dope artisans than any other street (or avenue) in the Okanagan; from interior designers and painters, chefs and winemakers, to barbers and tattoo artists, Pandosy has it all. And we love working with dope artists - especially on one-off pieces of kick-ass denim art! Enter the homie Lars (aka Law Tattoo) - owner of UMI (IG @ultramagnetic_ink) which happens to be kiddie-corner from our shop here on Pandosy. Lars is our dude. We kick it, crush tin, talk shit, ya know, homie shit... but...

We can honestly say that supporting local and community-building is a way of life here in Kelowna - and the Okanagan in general - something that's become apparent since we opened our doors for business almost a year ago. From neighbouring businesses to local customers, the energy and support we've come to know and love is truly amazing; and no local business/brand exemplifies that progressive energy more so than Okangan Lifestyle. Their four letters and icons have become a staple in the region, representing a lifestyle focused on healthy activity and local appreciation. So as you can imagine, when our homies at...

What a turnout we had this past Sunday, shout out to all y'all who joined us for the evening. Big love to Windmills Keep Moving and DJ Invizible for holding us all down for the night with live performances and killer sets from the moment we opened doors, till we closed em for the night. Respect to our bro Pavel for all the captures, please find pics from the event below:            

With so many of our homies working in either the bar and hospitality industry, and/or artisans of some type, it's no surprise aprons have become a major category in-shop here at Grey Hearts. Not only do we stock premium aprons from our good friends at Search Rescue Denim, but we've also begun custom-making aprons for clients from a range of occupations (more on those collaborations soon). Most recently though, we jumped into our rework bag and upcycled a vintage pair of Carhartt double-front work pants - transforming them into a one-off utility apron.  Featuring a cross-back strap for comfort and...
