Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Slim and I have been working away at new stuff for the DD brand. Things are definitely looking promising and we are very excited to be in the position we are in. We will slowly be leaking news of new events and new drops as we see fit. Speaking of which, if you missed out on the first drop of logo tees, you are in luck. Highpoint will be stocked again with more inventory and a new colorway. Check it out and thanks for the support.

Veneratio Carus Mortuus
This week, we have lost 3 icons of our generation. It's strange to think about... but may they rest in peace, finally, as all 3 had medical issues that took their toll on their tired souls.
Oh. I was asked the other day exactly what "Veneratio Carus Mortuus (VCM)" means. It means Honor The Dearly Departed - in Latin.
VCM *RIP forever

Thank You, Benny
Mr. Benny Gold, the creator of our Dearly Departed logo and owner of his own brand, has just posted pics of our logo project on his website blog and Highsnobiety blog. Besides for the kind words, there is also an exclusive pic of preliminary sketches that were made throughout the project. This dude is the BUSINESS. Thanks a ton Benny, we owe you!

Much Love
I don't get down on our blog much, leave most of that for Rookie, but I wanted to give a big thank you to every one that came through Highpoint over the weekend to support DD. It was a very surreal moment to see our product on the racks and then to sell as many as we did was crazy. I also wanted to give a big thank you to all the bloggers who posted our shirts including thefreshfiends and our good friend Mega of Black Scale. You will see more blogs and websites with our shirts in the coming days as we are hitting the streets with our Lil homie Sean Lyles tomorrow to take photos. Last but not least we want to thank Benny Gold who helped make this dream come true. He is truly amazing artist but an even better dude. Thank you to all, I didn't leave you out theres just too many people who helped us in this long journey. We love you all
EDIT: I had to chime in... YEAH a huge thanks to friends and fam of DD. The impacts and contributions made by you guys have really helped in bringing this project to fruition. Many thanks. -Rook

Summer has peacocks that run loose in her neighborhood. They terrorize the streets on the regular and claim anything as their own, including this corvette. BEWARE of the 'cocks! HA.

LOGOS! in asst. flavors.
Well they are finally here. Fresh of the presses is our first run of product, the Dearly Departed logo tees. If you have been paying attention, we have been quietly at work trying to iron things out, but the day is here. For this first run, Slim and I decided on classic colorways to distribute amongst industry friends, family, and fans. Hunter/Lite Grey, Maroon/Lite Grey, Black/White, Heather/Black, & Charcoal/White all made the cut. If you wanna support, they will be on sale at Highpoint this Saturday, or you can contact us by dropping a comment here for a private inquiry. Thanks to ALL that have been down since day one.
