“Basically for everything that comes out of Five Four, I've come up with the idea or changed it in some way. I'm also working with Putnam Accessory Group, a private label hat manufacturer. I'm in the process of re-branding a line they have called Chuck. It was mostly hats and bags, but I'm adding apparel and eyewear and whatever I feel like adding to turn it more into a brand. I'm supposed to be working with Pharrell on Billionaire Boys Club, but that's on hold.” WayFeelsIdeasTurnsProcessLinesBoysFiveFourGroupsChangedCome UpClubsBrandsLabelsSupposed To BeHatsBagsBrandingBillionaireChuckAccessoriesApparelEyewear Author:Mark McNairy
