    Them crooks hoodies go hard. They jus need to keep the brand out of Zumiez that was the downfall

    Crooks gear is still printed in Montreal right now in 2021. The quality of the garment they print on seems to go down a lot unfortunately, with sizes that also are sometimes not true to the label sewed on. So if you order a size XL , you might find it pretty tight or vice versa.

      I find that now that nothing is male or female just UNISEX I had to resize. The generic hoodies are ok. I Spend the extra $10-20 and buy the hoodies that are over $80 they are still that nice thick cotton and have that oldschool feel. The chain cherub sweatsuit for eg

    At one point in time there was only two brands that people chose between...and that was either crooks or LRG. I always chose LRG. I wouldn't say the street brand fell because there is still a market for it ( I still sell this brand at my store and it does sells out) however, I would say that its not selling out as quick as it did compared to the early 2010s. This brand (althought started in 2002) didn't become popular till late 00s and early 2010s.

      Same with Stussy. Streetwear is dead unless you in Japan where independent labels are still very prominent there. But brands like Supreme, Offwhite and Hoodrich that label themselves as "streetwear" are considered luxury brands to me. Streetwear used to be for the ballers, skaters and urban fasion in general. But nowadays people wear these "streetwear" brands with a Gucci belt and a Mille on your wrist lol

    Any streetwear brand loses its appeal once it hits Zumiez. Stussy is really the only one that can survive the Zumiez curse, but that’s bc it was around long before it became available there. Crooks and Castles to me never hit. The name didn’t come off as a luxury street brand and doing too much w/ the graphic tees can detract from its urban appeal also. Many streetwear brands don’t last bc they’re a catch 22. The appeal to em is the exclusiveness and limited supply. But that also makes growing the brand more difficult bc you’re taking away what ppl innately like about it. Supreme’s done it right on a large scale. Pink Dolphin’s done well on a smaller scale. Many others will just come and go

    Sadly have to agree with you! When I found C&C in Hawaii back in 2012, their designs and quality were amazing for the price, couldn't compare anything to it at the time. But over the years, their designs are looking worse and worse... It's pretty sad.

    Young Cats go crazy whenever I show up in any Crooks and Castles piece, and they want to rep the brand.
    Unfortunately, they no longer can.
    No other indie streetwear brand is able to achieve that same impact nowadays.

    Your known what your known for. When the market moves on which it always done, it's over.
    Maybe its a lesson on how you treat people when you are new. I can atest that these brands all thought they were too good for many of us retailers who were reputable and in business for years. They once they slowed down they were knocking down your door to be carried. They were glorified teeshirt and baseball cap companies.
