We have to admit, we did not see this one coming. After Sophnet and Visvim, here comes the Wired h collaboration with Crooks & Castles.

Crooks & Castles teamed up with Jadakiss to host an in-store signing in their Melrose flagship store in Los Angeles. Jadakiss will be signing his new album – The Last Kiss. Also the musician and the LA brand got together to collaborate on a limited edition t-shirt. The t-shirt is based on the infamous Crooks slogan  – Can’t Stop The Kiss.

The event takes place on May 1rst at 8021 Melrose in Los Angeles.

We like this new set of Crooks & Castles Spring 2009 New Era caps. The “Horse Bit” series comes without bold logo or letter embroideries on the front and rather uses a more subtle stripe embroidery all around the cap with a closing embroidery on the back, once again inspired by Gucci. The cap comes in black and in navy and is now available at Commonwealth.

To celebrate the release of the Notorious movie, Crooks & Castles has released two limited edition t-shirts. One tee features the Notorious B.I.G. and the other one remixes the Crooks classic Medusa design, adding the B.I.G. sunglasses to it.

The Crooks & Castles “Notorious” T-Shirts are now available at the Crooks & Castles LA flagship store.

We present you the Crooks & Castles Spring 2009 Lookbook. The LA brand continues to evolve nicely and adds a more sophisticated look to the collection this season, while not loosing the identity that they are so well known for. Some great jackets, fleece and tees are in the collection, along with a solid line-up of New Era caps and accessories overall.

Crooks was getting some criticism in recent years for using over and over again their Medusa, Chain and other graphics too much. Unlike many others out there, we think that was the smartest move, because they actually created a brand and an identity that they are well known for. This allows them to create lightly branded pieces today and to still be identifiable right away. The collection takes overall a nautical direction in terms of graphics and styles.
