Crooks & Castles at Chemical Records

We at Crooks & Castles have always rooted for the villain whether it be in a movie, a comic book, a novel, a rap song or every- day life. Growing up in Los Angeles during the 80s and 90s we became a part of this villainous lifestyle. Gangs were everywhere-the hood, the city, even middle suburbia. Most had no choice but to adapt to the environment. Some were able to escape or even channel what theyve learned on the street into something lucrative. What caught our attention in the mid 90s was independent fashion/graphic brands.

After years of learning the ins and outs of the business by starting a brand without knowledge of how to start or run a clothing company, weve finally come to this..Crooks & Castles! The concept was easy. Crooks, criminals, pimps, hustlers, thieves, etc. And Castles those who got rich by becoming a crook. From the robber barons of the early times like the Vanderbilts, the Rockerfellers, the Carnegies, to the modern day billionaires-Bill Gates & Microsoft. Those who stopped at nothing to get their Castle. We too hope one day to be the next rich crook.
