Introducing vitaminTHICK, a brand set for intake

HAILING FROM BOSTON! With inspirations ranging from notorious signature sneakers to the Notorious One; cafeteria showdowns to play timedisguises; vitaminTHICK aims to bring the fun and edginess back to a streetwear industry that has become overplayed and uninspired. VitaminTHICK: Cooler gear than the other kids since bagged lunch.™

Brand Identity

vitaminTHICK is a celebration of living life to its fullest through community, culture, and dope clothing. With the street cliches of

violence, greed, and politics plaguing the urban fashion industry today, co-captains Elliott Curtis and Andrew Shedd listen to the

echos of their youth for inspiration. “Back in the day” was a glowing and carefree time when anything and everything was

possible. Without all the posturing and bad noise, childhood was a time when we had our whole lives in front of us. The vT brand

is a blending of this nostalgic mindset with a culturally informed social commentary.

Our Approach to Design + Product Development

vT’s product, like its approach to brand and design, embodies the definition of limited edition in its most earnest sense. A full

collection of vT pieces are individually numbered out of a finite denomination. This is real. No marketing gimmicks. No fine print.

Just BAM- “I have shirt 23 out of 100. Only 99 other heads are up on this piece right here.” Although the products are exclusive,

vitaminTHICK is a community of those who hold lifestyle to a higher level. This is why vitaminTHICK’s products adhere to a design

regimen that shells out for style-specific prints, eco-friendly inks, extra attention to stitch work and the little details that might

go unnoticed to some, but define the brand to Shedd and Curtis. These principles of value-added design tower over brands that

subscribe to the cost cutting and inferior quality of mass market production.

We wear “fashionable” clothing yet pay our bills late.  We want to be wifed up but still want to wild out.  We are truly walking contradictions…

Kil Ripkin

 

After years of producing for several artist and the split of the FEDS, Rip turned his focus back to his solo career and started working on the revolutionary banger “Black Power Black Love” The Buz CD, with production from Kil,Don Newkirk and Valentine of I.G.T. The album became the theme music for the revolutionary Uhuru movement that was taking place in Brooklyn, and Kil’s passion grew even more to get his message across.  The Music is soulful, truthful, spiritual and rebellious. Surely after one listen to Kil Ripkin you will realize very quickly what Hip Hop truly sounds like.

why hello there Clarice

And there’s those times

At times, you may feel as though the weight of the world is on YOUR shoulders. Understandably so, you feel as though you are making no progress and life, it’s just conspiring against you. It’s quite the disheartening feeling, but as we come to learn in life, it has its high’s and low’s. If we were to all be completely happy, wouldn’t it just a boring everyday ritual?  We do have those who attempt to consciously smile 24/7, but sooner or later, it does get old.

Pause, allow me to recount.

I had to learn how to convert my fustrations into something meaningful, drive. It takes a lot of patience to deal with all of the unpredictable weather life throws at you. It’s funny because even the weathermen/women are wrong several times, during the year. Things can’t well, MOST things, can’t be predicted. There’s those times, where we have to vent. There’s also those times, where we MUST vent. Then, there’s those times, where things we CAN”T quit vent at all. There’s always those times where you feel as though you can’t quite get through to anyone, it’s as if you have no voice, so it’s just consistent fustration. We all have a voice, a voice to be heard and there’s always those times, where we will be heard and felt.

You can be heard and felt without a single word, but if you so happen to use words, make it short and sweet. Nobody likes listening to someone stretch out a topic forever, when they could’ve just said it THIS quick.

Count the times today that you smiled and the times that you frowned, remembering the reasons behind the two… Is this mysterious journey as bad as it seeems, or is it really just a pessimistic midnstate that you are in.

Granted, you get thrown some curveballs that make you miss the point all together, BUT there’s those times when everything is going your way and you’re just looking for a reason for it to all stop. Why would we consciously wait on something to go wrong, maybe even something as minor as a slight slip or bead of sweat dripping from one’s forehead.

Think.

If something so minor can make you upset or put a frown on your face, then logically, we should be able to smile just as easy. After all, “it takes 37 muscles to frown and 22 muscles to smile,” depending on your addition skills.

- …Until we meet again
