What to know about Acapulco Gold

Acapulco Gold is a New York streetwear label founded in 2006 by Augie Galan and Geoff Heath, who met while working at Supreme in 1998 and branched off after nearly a decade there. Its output centres on graphic T-shirts, hoodies, caps, cut-and-sew outerwear and skateboard decks, built on reworked New York iconography, cannabis-culture references and bold, playful typography, with an emphasis on heavier fabrics and construction. The brand holds a following in skate and hip-hop circles and sells through skate shops, Japanese retailers and stockists including HBX. Its live web shop is the Japanese store at acapulcogold.jp; the US domain acapulcogold.com is now listed for sale.

How Acapulco Gold fits

Overall fit

slightly large

Pieces are generally described as heavyweight and cut on the roomy, boxy side typical of New York skate labels, so most wearers find their normal size fits with extra room rather than snugly.

Tip: Take your usual size for a roomy streetwear look, or size down one if you want anything close to a trim fit.
