<<< X-Factor
Hangin' with snow-obsessed teens requires specialized gear,
but not everybody can pony up the bucks for a full-on bro/betty
look. But, hey, you can still fool everyone into thinking
you're a slope superstar with a navy blue hoodie
sweatshirt ($45, Exit Real World, 820 NW Glisan St.,
226-3948). This embroidered coverup features the word "EXIT"
(insiders will know you got it
at one of Oregon's hippest board shops) stitched across
its chest, promising serious style for those who enter its
zone.
Fine & Dandy
Kids love the doctor--Dr. Martens, that is. And so will
parents when they see their offspring tooling around in
a pair from this Brit-based company's wacky print line.
One of this season's highlights is Dr. Martens' Kids
Purple Dandyclock ($58, Haggis McBaggis, 6802 SE Milwaukie
Ave., 234-0849). Covered in a colorful jiggles and squirrely
lines, it's sure to dazzle on the playground and beyond.
Hammer Time
Forget cargo pants or leather britches. This year the rage
seems to be all about carpenter jeans ($24.50, GapKids,
Pioneer Place, 700 SW 5th Ave., 228-8115, various locations).
These 100-percent cotton, roomy lowriders have so many pockets--front
slant, coin, chisel and back patch--you may have trouble
figuring out just what to do with them all. But who cares?
At least you can have fun trying them on for size.
Don't Bug Out
Smaller, lighter and more streamlined than conventional
goggles, Bugz's "Viperz" Sport Goggles ($49.99, G.I.
Joe's, 3900 SE 82nd Ave., 777-4526, and various locations)
are made from bendable rubber-plastic polymer that's designed
to withstand brutal treatment and frequent use by "high-octane"
riders. Added benefits: 100 percent UV blocking, anti-fog-treated
double lenses and more--but, really, what more could there
be?
Loungin' Around
For couch potatoes who long for comfort, nothing beats
a good pair of flannel pants ($15, Mervyn's, 10010
NE Halsey St., 257-8800, and various locations). Best of
all, each time you put these suckers on, you can relish
cherished memories of holiday mornings spent tearing through
packages and sipping hot cocoa.
Photo Op
Kids wear all the neat clothes. If you don't believe me,
check out the reversible snowboarder vests at Old
Navy ($39.50, Tanasbourne Town Center, 18065 NW Evergreen
Parkway, Beaverton, 533-5622, various locations). The quilted
number is smooth orange on the inside, and the outside sports
a Betty-less Bro shredding the half-pipe. Good for the slope,
and it would look cool at any rave.
The Cowpoke Zone
Giddy up, pardner! It's time to get the best of pair of
you-know-what kickers in town, and that means it's time
to take a gander at the fine selection of cowboy boots
at the Portland Outdoor Store ($100 and up, 304 SW 3rd Ave.,
222-1051). The store carries an incredible selection from
the best manufacturers--Acme, Frye, Dan Post--in sizes from
6 to 15.
