Irving KOOBA

I got my start with Irv at the infamous Newcastle ltd when I was 13 yrs. old while attending Mira Costa high school. I worked all through H.S. until age 19. Irv was definitely one of a kind with his quick wit and humor. He was my beginning, he made it fun and still held a standard of quality. I now have a successful mens store in Portland Oregon. I owe a lot to Irv and his early influences. He had a great run and enjoyed.
My condolences to Irv's family.
Be well,
Brent Collier

Irv had one of the greatest men's clothing stores ever. It was a pillar of fashion for Manhattan Beach.
