Black Scale and Diamond Supply Co, two streetwear labels hailing from the west coast, have teamed up with Pac Sun for a capsule collection of tee shirts.
Black Scale is a company that envisions itself as produced by the continual energy of the universe. Moreover, the brand sees itself as a method of deciphering the world, offering truth "by way of graphic art, clothing and accessories inspired by religion, government, identity and death." This collaboration is an extension of the brand's core belief.
The collection features the distinctive graphics of each brand; signature diamonds, rosary beads and gothic typography are combined against a deliciously cool monochromatic palette. Fans of both brands should be equally satisfied by this collaboration, which will be available at Pac Sense from July 11th onward.
