Honolulu urban-wear pioneer In4mation is about to launch its first-ever line of cut-and-sew clothing — jeans ($90, right), hoodies, an anorak. With 62 accounts around the world, the local boys are about to blow up. And they have some of the freshest T-shirts in town. Designer Rhandy Tambio has absconded to NYC (where he gets creative for Ecko, Akademik and others), but he still lets loose for In4mation — like a "Mishap" shirt that references Andy Warhol and '80s punks The Misfits. In4mation: Ward Warehouse (597-1447), 2250 Kalakaua (923-0888).

HIT THE DECKS

When graphic designer Jesse Kline isn't creating ads for Laird Christianson Advertising, he likes to create a virtual Skateboard Deck of the Week. "I do it for fun, just to have a little creativity. You know, experiment a little bit," says Kline. "It's the one place where I don't have a client." Browse through the collection of decks on his Web site and you'll learn about Kline, who finds inspiration from "whatever's floating around my brain." Ohio and New Orleans — places where he's lived — make appearances, as do shells, a Renaissance painting and slogans like "I look better on MySpace." www.klineworks.com.
