Crooks & Castles get creative with their latest virtual lookbook featuring a clever concept that follows along with the brand’s bandit aesthetic. While showcasing different looks from their upcoming holiday collection, the lineup evolves extensively as the story progresses. A hard copy is due out soon, but until then, check out the lineup after the jump and a must see version available here, with music provided by Chris “Qualudes” Natalio. The collection will be available soon at Karmaloop.

    i must disagree with josh who said this is corny
    the clothing line and magazine who did this looks like they put MAD hard work into this
    i LOVE the flannel(great collection)
