Comedy iconic Cheech and Chong are celebrating their 50th anniversary and Pot Meets Pop marks the milestone with a collection of apparel designs. The pieces are all designed to honor the comedy duo -- the Indonesian fashion brand brings archival visuals of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong onto modern garments.
The two have created multiple media entertainment throughout the years including film, stand-up, sketches, music, and more. This is all referenced in the capsule, including Sister Mary Elephant, Los Cochinos, Still Smokin', and much more. The standout items in the collection include the denim jackets in the light and dark washed options. They are detailed with cobranded patches in an oversized design, or the fleece hoodies with graphics adorned throughout.
