Most of you have probably heard of or have seen CXXVI via our blog or others.

CXXVI | Summer 2011 Collection

Beginning to be one of our favorites, especially after that iPhone wallet. CXXVI has released their lookbook for the upcoming Summer 2011 season. Based out of New York, we like how this All-American brand has the vintage look and feel to their t-shirt’s as well as the inspiration behind the graphics printed on them.

( Strong statement- we know, but check back on this post in the future and maybe I will be right).

Check out the lookbook gallery below!
