What to know about Breezy Excursion
Bay Area hip-hop is the subject
Graphics draw on Bay Area identity and the hyphy era, including a Hyphy Veteran capsule, a Dead President tee and Notorious B.I.G. tanks.
Graphic tees, not full collections
The range stays close to t-shirts, tanks, fleece hoodies and headwear, with box-logo and camo staples filling out the basics.
Direct-to-consumer since the storefront closed
Founded in 2008 by Ryan Mante and Flip Lilleland, it now sells mainly through its own Shopify store and streetwear retailers; the San Jose shop is listed as closed.
