Brian has been collecting shirts for 15 years (plus sneakers, vinyl, ... but mainly shirts). He started going to shows in the mid 90s and quickly got hooked on crucial gear. Blame it on Bane or In My Eyes. He's still in a debate with Dalbec on who has the better Bane collection.

Whether it’s a Mental tee, a Hellmouth shirt, a Youngblood Records shirt, or a tee for one of his own bands, you’ve seen his work. And it’s… Continue reading ».

By b. murphy | Published 10/01/2009

My work is pretty chill. I’m wearing a Polo Rugby shirt, some selvedge denim and Savier Trainers. Pretty chill.

No disrespect as they could math me into a corner, but jeez, maybe it’s time to replace… Continue reading ».
