Crooks & Castles continues our annual tradition of holding you down for the summer in this latest collection for Summer 2013. This years inspirations prove to be as diverse as they are intense, giving you a full palette of wardrobe pieces, fit for anything under the sun. Summer ’13 Collection includes Bandana prints, Serpent influence, Thuxury wovens and more classic Crooks themes. Feeding off of our So Cal heritage, our Bandana Group offering flips iconic bandana-print imagery on a variety of pieces including short sleeve button-downs, tees, board shorts, bucket hats, five-panels, and tanks. The Thuxury 2.0 collection is the most comprehensive collection found in Crooks & Castles’ Summer release, and this one truly has something for everybody. Color fade patterns make a bold return in this group, as does an interesting weave pattern that hints at the upscale. Men’s Summer ’13 is scheduled to release next week , you Can’t Stop the Summer and you ‘Can’t Stop The Crooks!’.

You might remember our 2012 Art Basel installment with Primary Projects and Asif’s Guns from a while back, but the crew from Heavy Hitters magazine saw fit to dedicate a spread to the project in Heavy Hitters issue #32, available on newsstands now. Those who missed their chance on attending the event and seeing the creations for themselves will be treated to some editorial and great shots of the collaboration, including the limited Crooks x Asif’s Guns .38 Revolver and the Crooks’ edition AK-47.

Yesterday, we went out to the New Era Headquarters in Orange County to chop it up with our New Era Caps Family. Big thanks to Tiff, Braden, and Eddie for the great hospitality. Power meeting, making power moves, with a well respected company. Stay tuned for what’s to come!

Not too long ago, some of the team went out to P&CS.S. Store Opening, in LA, to support the homies Casey and Anwar in their new venture with Peas & Carrots Intl. We were fortunate to collab with them on an exclusive tee that was sold only on this opening day. We’ve been hearing such great feedback since then, glad it was a dope turnout. It is great to see the homies getting into new ventures, we wish them nothing but success. When you get a chance, make sure to head out to the new store and show them some love. If you were lucky enough to cop one of our collab tees, send us a picture! Tag us #crooksncastles, @crooksncastles.
