Saturday I stopped by Duke’s Barbershop to check out the launch of his new clothing line DBSMC (Dukes Barberhop Mercantile Company). It was nice to see the all the barbers, family and friends help out Duke as he was prepping for this big day. I was even able to sample a freshly grilled pita courtesy of Freddy! Duke has been my barber for what has to be close to 5 years now and I had to help support the cause. Initially I was going to DJ the event but due to prior bookings, I was only able to pay a short visit. No worries though as DJ Wolverine was the DJ. Look him up, he is one of Albany’s most promising dj’s with a bright future ahead of him. For those that know Duke and know anything about street wear, then you know Duke is always dressed to the nines. Whether it’s a pair of limited New Balance’s or Asics, Duke is the only guy I know in town that is consistently pardon the expression…”killing the game”. So with that said, it was to no surprise that his line DBSMC was truly impressive as well. His colors and pattern selection were first rate. The hats were all amazing. I’m regretting not buying one now. Duke, if you are reading this…save me a floral brim snapback! If your in the Albany area, stop by Dukes Barbershop and get a great haircut and some really fresh DBSMC clothing. Congrats on the launch Duke!
