The Official Iceberg/ Iceberg History Thread

[titalwaves]

Are their any other "Iceberg Historians" out there besides myself?View media item 1089809
This is a simple piece that I own, but it makes a huge statement with its big block letters.

I will be posting up more from my collection as this thread grows...Peace

I've been on eBay looking for some. When did the line stop production?

I've been on eBay looking for some. When did the line stop production?

If I am not mistaken the production began to stop somewhere around 2002-2003.

That is when I started seeing a lot of Iceberg items on sale around my hometown of Atlanta, GA.

Alot of other clothing brands started to follow suit by placing characters on their clothing: Platinum Fubu, Marc Ecko, etc.

I think Iceberg was just to expensive for most compared to those other brands that were acceptable then.

Hey Show Time 96, are those T-shirts or knits?

Had a nice little collection from 8th grade to about 11th grade (98-99 to 02-03). Loved the clothes, but had to hand wash every piece. Hated doing that ****.

I remember there used to be an Iceberg boutique on Madison. Haven't even thought to look for it when I'm around the area.

Thought we were talking about icebergs.

Long sleeve t shirts

 

[titalwaves]

Cool....Cool.

I always admired how Gilmar would manufacture Iceberg Shirts, Knits, Denim with different types of materials like Suede, Leather, 3m.

That is something that cheaper brands could not mimic such as Platinum Fubu, Marc Echo, etc.

I thought this thread was about Iceberg making a comeback.

Seems like now would be a good time.

Was way out my price range but still appreciated.

They were geared to make a "comeback" last year, but in my opinion the new-garments are garbage.

The designs lack the creative mind-set that JC Castlebajec brought when he was the head designer at Gilmar.

Did they actually dropped? I guess not, but in my opinion they saved face. If you can't retro it correctly then don't do it at all.

The only Iceberg worth discussing. This dude has classics. For those that heaven't read his stuff; get on it.

[rottenpieces]

Funny thing, every now and then I check eBay out to see if I can get some pieces. Checked on Tuesday, and now this thread exists.

 

[Ja's 2¢]
