Behind every castle, lies a Crook...

Crooks & Castle

There comes to a point in your life, that one day you decide to be rebellious, and root for the villain, whether it is in a comic book and you decide to be like Magneto and go against the good, a particular song that moves and motivates you to take action like “Quite Storm” from Mobb Deep, or in a movie like Scarface where Tony Montana is the most imitated influential villain, possibly of all-time.

Well, Dennis Calvero and Robert Panlilio came to that point early in their careers. Their influence came from...   
 being surrounded by gangs, living in Los Angles their whole life. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s both Dennis and Robert loved the independent fashion graphic brands. That’s what started them to create their own fashion graphic t-shirts.

After being in business for several years, they finally created the formula for what they envisioned in their graphic t-shirts. Their new brand is called “Crooks & Castle”, with the simple concept of highlighting crooks, criminals, pimps, hustlers, thieves, etc. and for those who got rich and got their own version of their castle by becoming a “Crook”. The brand represents “those who stop at nothing to get to their castle”.  Thus, Dennis and Roberts motto is “behind every castle, lies a crook”.
