Back in 2002 when we first carried Crooks & Castles at 8FIVE2SHOP, it was only a couple of tee shirt graphics!
I remember telling all customers and the media in Hong Kong about this brand and how it was going to blow up and take over the rest of the street brands out there in the States. My prediction was right, well… it wasn’t much of a prediction but, more of a trust in the abilities of Dennis Calvero, Rob Panlilio, Emil Soriano, Bryan J Calvero and their homies. As long as they were in charge, Crooks & Castles would only get stronger and stronger.
Fast forward to 2009, Crooks & Castles is no longer just a tee shirt brand, they also make good denim, amazing New Era fitted caps, bags, jackets, accessories, etc. They are most definitely one of the biggest brands in the street clothing category.
Congratulations to our homies for the hard work. Peep more on Crooks as they are building their castles higher!
I just received their Fall 2009 catalog, it’s 90 pages thick, it’s no joke! Big dope collection.
Again fellas, don’t sleep and if you don’t know, now you know. Crooks & Castles baby.
