Here at DrJays.com we often shine light on the major urban brands – Rocawear, Baby Phat, Akademiks, LRG, etc.

It’s only fair we put you on to a number of the smaller brands we feel constantly deliver fresh, quality goods.

Brands like 5ive Jungle, for example.

The Mosaic Lion Tee by 5ive Jungle

The name 5ive Jungle represents the five boroughs of New York City, the world’s most infamous urban jungle – Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx.

The brand was founded by Jean Choi, former design director of renown urban brand Southpole.

5ive Jungle is based on natural elements and superior craftsmanship.

The Card Play All-Over Hoodie by Crooked Ink

There’s also indie brand Crooked Ink.

An authentic voice of the streets, the fellas behind Crooked Ink let their political views be known with their groundbreaking “Republicons” t-shirt collection.

Tragically, one of the original founders of Crooked Ink, M.A.B., passed away prematurely after battling cancer.

A portion of their revenue goes to supporting his young son.

A portion of their revenue also goes toward their Forgotten Souls Foundation, the first vertical upward mobility program for the homeless and disenfranchised.

So make sure you check their gear out because you’ll also be supporting a great cause (we have major sales on Crooked Ink Hoodies right now).
