A couple months back we put an exhibition together over at Double Break that showcased some of our in-house brands and products that we had in the works. Since we were previewing these pieces we kept pretty silent about the post event wrap-up on our blog. Now that we will be releasing our new line of caps next week we felt it was only appropriate to share some flics with those that were unable to attend. On display we had … Read More

Dia de los Muertos — 5&A Dime x Us Versus Them
Our good friends at 5&A Dime hosted a packed house last night for their Dia de los Muertos collaborative release with Temecula-based brand Us Versus Them. Always a good time at 5D in-store events — lots of familiar faces, great conversations, good music, and refreshing drinks (lots of people meant drinks went quick). Not to mention the collaborative tee is pretty fresh, it comes in three different colorways, and you can cop them here.

New Sticks
New PRDTetc™ and Westside Love ™ stickers arrived yesterday, and we can’t wait to see these start popping up around town. We’re still waiting on another batch to arrive, but in the meantime scoop up a hat, tee, or one of the few Bring Back The Brown — Fort Knocks we have left and we’ll make sure to HOOK IT UP with some of the new sticks. Happy Friday, y’all!
Heath Bell is down with brown!
If you follow us on Twitter, a couple days ago we retweeted photos posted by Padres All-Star closing pitcher, Heath Bell, showing off his pair of PRDTetc™ x Knockaround — Bring Back The Brown Fort Knocks. Next day, a photo surfaced on Sign On San Diego of Heath Bell and Grammy Award-winning San Diego rock band, Switchfoot — and he’s still proudly rocking his BBTB Fort Knocks. Heath, you the man!
Baja California, Mexico
One of the coolest things about our work are the field trips we sometimes have to make for our client projects. On Wednesday, one of our current client projects required us to make a trip down south to beautiful Baja California. The goal was to collect imagery unique to Baja for a brand identity we’re developing for a Mexican seafood restaurant, set to open in Boston later this year. Needless to say, it was a pretty awesome day at work. … Read More
San Diego — Mission Hills
Sunday while Jordan was making his way back to SD from “Art In The Streets,” my wife and I hit up a little food. Whether you’re from San Diego, or just visiting, if you haven’t explored the food gems in the Mission Hills Business District you’re definitely missing out! There are a lot of must-try spots, literally within a few steps from each other. El Indio is a hot-spot amongst locals and tourists. Chips are bomb, and try the Mini … Read More
Knockaround x PRDTetc™ — Release at 5&A Dime
This past weekend we released the Bring Back The Brown Fort Knocks at 5&A Dime with our friends over at Knockaround. Sun was out, music was bumpin’, and drinks were flowin’.

Knockaround x PRDTetc™ — Collaborative Release at 5&A Dime
Despite the tragic (“or just horseshit”) losing streak that took the Pads into the All-Star Break (together with any “very hopeful” hopes of post-season play), we’re still putting it down for the Bring Back The Brown campaign, along with our city, and we’re really excited about this one. Saturday, July 30th at 5&A Dime from 1:30pm-4:30pm. Music, drinks, and a Knockaround x PRDTetc™ product release. More details to follow…
PRDTetc™ x UnitedState Collab T–shirt
We did this collaborative T–shirt with our friends, and Sacramento retailer, UnitedState. These shirts released at their store with a PRDTetc™ Pop–Up Shop back in December, but they are now available for purchase in the PRDTetc™ eShop. The shirt is a collaborative twist on Westside Love™, taking on aesthetic elements incorporated into UnitedState’s brand and retail space. 25% of proceeds go to the organization Capitol Roots, which is a non–profit based in Sacramento that sponsors youth urban art programs.
Soosh*e
Here’s a vid of Soosh*e performing “Roll High” from his new album SPACE MUSIC at our pop-up shop and shirt release at UnitedState last month. Many thanks to Capitol Roots Studio & Productions for putting this video together! And special thanks to Soosh*e for putting on a sick set. Download the album for free at http://sooshe.bandcamp.com/, and if you dig it throw some love his way with a donation. Respect — PRDTetc™
