For a variety of reasons, Havana menswear is closing. Nonetheless, since designing in SL and keeping the store allthis time has allowed us to have fun, meet great people and make some new friends, we would like to show you our gratitude by having a last sale: 50% off for all of Havana’s products until Oct. 10, but only at the store. After that date, our items will be available only on the marketplace (no discount there) – and probably there will be no new items. So, hurry up to the store: HAVANA’s main store

Hugs,
Keebo and Ricco

Camo Boy Shorts in its "sky camo" version, Seaside Tank and Loose Flexi Tie: new at HAVANA

After a period of hard work, we are finally proud to announce HAVANA’s new collection for male avatars in SL. Our customers have already had a small preview of our new items, which coincided with the past 49 L Sale For Dudes and the Menstuff Hunt – and now the whole collection arrives together with our participation in the Menswear Fashion Week 2011 and the 5th 49 L Sale (both events have started yesterday, March 18, and will continue until next Friday, March 25).

This time, HAVANA brings to you a series of bikini briefs with sculpted front, tanks, flexi jackets, shorts (which can be transformed into pants as well) with prim cuffs and prim waist bands and loose flexi ties which can be combined with our casual outfits as a fancy accessory. We also decided to develop an additional camo version of selected items, in order to give our customers even more options along with the colorful alternatives already identified with HAVANA. If you are interested in seeing some of our new stuff on the runway, along with other outfits we have developed since the past Fashion Week, do not miss the shows during the Menswear Fashion Week 2011. Our first participation will be today, March 19, at 4 P.M. SL Time, during the SL Boy’s Night Out (Casual Group Show), at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/San%20Francisco%20Marina/125/210/41. Also, our 49 L Sale item, which you can buy both at HAVANA’s main store and at HAVANA’s store at the Fashion Week sim, is one of our new releases: the Camo Boy Shorts, in its Sky Camo version. So, here’s what you’ll find in our new collection:

Camo Bikini Briefs in "desert camo" option (also available in "forest camo" and "sky camo" versions)

St. Thomas Jacket (with flexi extension) and Checkmate Shorts (other color options are available)

The Checkmate Shorts can be worn as pants, too. Here they go together with a Loose Flexi Tie (also available in other colors)

Seaside Tank in red

Hot Boy Bikini Briefs

HAVANA's gift for Menstuff hunters: classic pants (with prim cuffs and a prim belt) and a loose flexi tie

How it works:
- To collect your gift at HAVANA, go to the HAVANA Department at HAVANA On The Docks (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Havana%20Docks/234/191/23) and find the hunt object.
- The hunt object is a black sculpted T-shirt on which you can read “MENstuff”. Attention, the T-shirt is NOT your gift, it is just the hunt object. Click on it to collect your prize.
- A hint to find the hunt object at HAVANA: Run to the light, Carol Anne!
- HAVANA is store #93 in the hunt and you can start the circuit at any point. Once you collect a hunt gift, you will receive a landmark to the next store and, when you reach the last store on the list, you will receive a landmark to the first one.
- For a list of the stores taking part in the hunt, you can check the Menstuff Hints & SLURLS page on the Menstuff blog (the page does not have the slurls, though, only the store list and the hints to find the gift the slurls were added).

Andy Outfit: red vest, black t-shirt, red pants and undies showing

In the wake of the positive feedback we have been having on our gift for the Make Him Over Hunt 4, HAVANA finally releases the commercial version of its Andy Outfit, with more options for you to play with. In its new version, all the pieces of the Andy Outfit – vest, t-shirt, pants and undies – are sold separately and in different colors, so you can combine them as you wish. Nonetheless, if you would like a suggestion on how to put them together, you can check our packs at discounted prices. As previously stated, the outfit was inspired by a great friend of HAVANA, model Andreas Barrowstone, whom you can see on the pics here.

To start with, the Andy Vest comes in three different colors: red, blue and green, all of them with floral details. It can be combined with the Andy T-Shirt, with its four color options – white, light blue, pink and black – with optional bunched prim sleeves.

The Andy Pants come with prim legs and have an additional version that shows the top of the undies. They are being offered in grey, navy and red.
