Stix SGV Beanie Francis Pigeons Patch Cuff (Navy) blends classic skate shop cold-weather style with the unmistakable artwork of legendary skateboard artist Todd Francis. Built on a deep navy loosely knit cuff beanie, this piece keeps things clean and functional while carrying the same gritty urban energy that has defined Francis’ work throughout skateboarding for decades.
Centered on the cuff is a woven-style rectangular patch featuring the custom STIX San Gabriel Valley pigeon artwork created by Todd Francis for Stix SGV. The black-and-white graphic showcases Francis’ signature illustration style with pigeons perched around an overturned trash can, loose debris scattered underneath, and bold STIX lettering integrated directly into the artwork. The imagery captures the overlooked corners of city life that skaters know well — alley spots, curbs, parking lots, schoolyards, and industrial side streets throughout the SGV and greater Los Angeles area. The dark navy knit body gives the beanie a timeless look while allowing the high-contrast patch artwork to stand out without feeling loud or overdesigned.
Todd Francis remains one of skateboarding’s most influential visual artists, best known for creating the iconic Antihero eagle logo and helping define the raw visual identity of Antihero Skateboards alongside Julien Stranger since the mid-1990s. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Francis became known for combining sharp satire, environmental commentary, bleak humor, and highly detailed hand-drawn illustration into artwork that feels inseparable from real skateboarding culture. Beyond Antihero, his work has appeared with Vans, Spitfire, HUF, Element, Oakley, Stance, and numerous gallery exhibitions worldwide.
The pigeon motif used throughout this collaboration is one of Francis’ most recognizable recurring themes, often representing survival, resilience, urban decay, and the unnoticed realities of city environments. On the Stix SGV Beanie Francis Pigeons Patch Cuff (Navy), that artwork feels naturally at home — especially in the San Gabriel Valley where skateboarding has always existed side-by-side with parking lots, warehouses, old downtowns, and hidden street spots stretching from Monrovia through Pasadena, Alhambra, Covina, and beyond.
The beanie itself features a loosely knit ribbed cuff construction with a classic fold-over fit that works equally well during colder morning sessions, late-night curb missions, or everyday wear. Made from 100% hypoallergenic acrylic, the material stays soft, warm, and lightweight without feeling overly bulky. The classic knit construction traces back to styling that’s remained timeless since the 1970s, giving the beanie a familiar look that fits naturally within skateboarding rather than chasing trends. Measuring approximately 10 inches uncuffed, it provides a comfortable medium-depth fit suitable for most head shapes and styles.
Whether it’s clipped to a backpack, tossed in the car for early morning missions, or worn daily around the shop, the Stix SGV Beanie Francis Pigeons Patch Cuff (Navy) carries authentic skateboarding roots backed by one of the most respected artists to ever work within skate culture.
