Diamonds and Bones

[huelsman]

Don't know much about this brand. Whats the quality,sizing, etc. like?

[LanceP]

Don't know but I was really thinking about ordering this shirt (http://www.diamondandbonesrome.com/arc/arc/Immagine%20065.jpg)... comes out to $46 though.

[huelsman]

Yeah same here man...same colorway too. If someone can vouch for the company and give a little info on sizing, It would be most appreciated.

I am not one to hate on other brands, but this Diamond/Bones shit really gets under my skin. So many people have been hittin me up thinking this shit is Diamond affiliated and that it is a collabo with a company called bones. So Wack!
Some dude from D&B even hit me up to do a collabo with them.... can u fuckin believe this dude. hahaha
Why Diamond?
He could have called it Supreme & Bones, Stussy & Bones
or even Hundreds & Bones..... :stoneface: this Shits annoying.

I got one the tees from their 1st season last year.
Quality is very impressive, shirt and print were both fantastic!
Came very nicely packaged too.
Sizing is normal enough. I normally take an L, and the D&B size L fits great.

They've already done collaborations with LMAC and now one with Steven Vogel (Streetwear Today, Untitled Documents, HypeBeast-blogger).

Good brand, without a doubt!

yeah im bout to order a shirt from them too, i love that arabic style font. thats the only reason im gettin it.

Diamond & Bones is fo shizzle! if you got it down with le messie and Steven Vogel you doin the right thing! Yo Diamond don't mean to burst yo bubble but Diamond & Bones are really hot, they were out in the last issue of Streetwear Today and they have a definite distinctive style very japanese influenced.

Very good brand!! :thumbsup:

[Diamond]

Im not sayin that they are not a good brand, all I am saying is they could have come up with a more original name and designs.
I just think it is funny how the main logo is a Diamond and I have been running the Diamond in Arabic font for over 5 years and I had a Diamond with cross bones shirt 4 years ago.
I think it would annoy the shit outta anyone that has their own brand if you were to get emails like this: yo,
can you send me on of the Diamond with bones shirts? the black/purple in Large if you can?
That is from some dude at URB magazine ....ya feel me. I get kids askin me about who Bones is everyday on myspace, like I am doing a collab with them or something. I was never knockin the quality, I just think they should have maybe thought of a different name since Diamond Supply Co. has been in business for almost 9 years.

I don't know anything about law but isn't Diamond & Bones violating a trademark? On top of Diamond & Bones "copying" Diamond, this Brand (http://p093.ezboard.com/fniketalkfrm9.showMessage?topicID=176155.topic) is copying Diamond & Bones...

Yeah, that's a bit blatant alright, and not even done very well at that...
Definitely prefer the Diamond & Bones and Diamond Supply gear!

@ Diamond: You'll never catch me asking you for some bones, but if you can tell me where I can get hold of one of your OG logo tees, I'd be very grateful! :)

[Diamond]

Hahhaha.... WOW!
That is nuts man.....thanks for the link. The dude named Makin Moves i see got my back in a major way. That's dope! I wish i was more internet saavy and knew how to post pics. I have a few shirts from back in the day that look almost just like Diamond & Bones. The dude Fate is trippin with the "Diamonds are forever" tee in the Tiffany colorway... I made a tee last year in almost that exact font that says "Diamond Is Forever". Sall good tho.... I am over all these people and their ridin on Diamonds coat tail bullshit. I will just continue to do what I do, regardless of all the unoriginal ideas out there that people use. I am done complaining about it..... It is not worth my time to even continue to speak on them.

Jackstraxx: I re-release the OG logo in new colorways every season....
So if thr was a specific colorway you are looking for, it will probably not come out again. Most skateshops and online @Digitalgravel.com & Caliskatz.com will have our brand new line of tees as well as the new colorways of the OG logo in about 2 weeks.

[jackstraxx]

Cool, thanks!

Will be sure to keep em peeled :)

[huelsman]

Damn I had no idea about all this blatant ripping off, I don't think I will order anything from diamond and bones now, plus their prices are a little too steep for me right now. I'll probably just keep my eyes peeled for some hot diamond supply shirts, since I already slept on the ones at digital gravel.

[Jest]

In this day and age in street culture there is no more ripping off, everythings been done, just remade, reinspired, rejacked, etc. I've contributed to a few threads on here on that subject. I just go with the feel of the brand, I like D&B for what they've got going on and the feel behind the label, they've been around for I think just a year but have already made strides in their own right. They won't be in the limelight now or supported by playas in the industry if they were just blatantly ripping off. I suggest if you have a problem to do what Bobby suggested in his weekly drop to bring it to the man himself. You both are players in the industry things can be professionally discussed and compromised, I guess.

By the way does this mean BBC is ripping you off as well? Don't mistake my claim I HATE BBC to spits! Haa ha

But I mean the diamonds, bones, stars, lightning's, etc have been used and re-used by an array of streetwear labels from europe to japan over the years.

I feel this being a bit like invasions thread on Johnny ripping em off with the clouds and drips.

I've got mad respect for Diamond Supply but for being in the industry for a long time maybe you should already know this well enough by now.

[Tronics]

Diamonds & Bones the most overrated brand there is after Artful Dodger....

[huelsman]

I ended up getting a diamon supply shirt instead.

Funny you say that about Ice Cream/BBC because when they came out everyone I knew hit me up about how I should sue them for bitin my shit. I had givin Pharrell diamond shirts years before they dropped the Ice Cream shoes, so when I saw those I was a lttle heated. I am over it now and I sponsor 2 of the Ice Cream Team riders on Diamond... Jimmy G. & TK.
I am actually not the one that really gives a fuck about either one of those companies or the ideas they want to borrow/take.... I am just tired of hearing everyone else always sayin shit to me about it. I recently had one of my distributors in Europe hit me up tryin to order the all over print Diamonds and money sweatshirt that BBC makes.... They said a lot of shops were askin for it, they were all thinking it was made by Diamond.
I am just not feelin D&B or BBC.... for obvious reasons.

Huelsman: Thank's for the support man.... I hope the shirt works out good for you. Diamond's new line of shirts will be droppin in 2 weeks.

[Jest]

I understand and feel where you are coming from Diamond.

Props on your stash though!

Yeah i'm really hoping it does and i'm real stoked about the new line. Don't think what you wrote went to waste, after reading all that I checked out your company and I def respect your hustle man.

[FUJI]

Having an original design seems to very difficult for many designers today. Maybe its because of the saturation of labels out there now. I do know that brands that evolve and come up with more original ideas will stick around and the ones that bite other peoples hard work will be filtered out. Branding has become very important in the equation for success in streetwear and companies like BBC and Supreme has done that (spring 06 very weak for both companies). With that said Diamond do your thing. Boston showing love. Elephant & diamond tee graphic = plain craziness

[thelion1856]

yeah i think im going to hold off and order this shirt from Diamond Supply Co, he says its going to be a part of their new line droppin in 2 weeks. Anyone got any pics of the rest of the line cuz the diamond supply co website aint got shit on it.

This is the shirt i wanna cop. hopefully it drops in black shirt.
