The RVCA Vee Pee boardshorts from the Spring 2013 collection. Featuring all-over artwork by ANP artist Mark Alsweiler. Made from a vintage cotton canvas with a fixed drawcord waist back flap pocket with bungee cord ANP patch at the left leg. RVCA's success as a lifestyle brand is due to a melding of different subcultures & personalities into a tribe says founder PM Tenore. Tenore spent the early days of his life in a poverty-stricken neighbourhood of the Mission District in San Francisco.
