long live kess

photos:i.sierra two years ago today we lost our dear friend andy kessler, who many refer to as the "king of new york." he was one of the original zoo york crew from the early 70's who helped define the aesthetic and grit of early new york street graffiti. andy later went on to become the godfather of skateboarding of the big apple. always an advocate for the youth he successfully designed and built skate parks for the next generations. throughout the 5 boroughs socialites to the skaters all give praise to the kess.

thank you Isaac

We received a kind letter from one of our loyal customers Isaac. He reached out to us to share his recent experience with our pomades. He posted this thread yesterday on Badger & Blade: "I just wanted to start off by saying im in NO WAY affiliated with Grant's. I just wanted to take a pictures of all my current pomades. There are water based and petroleum based pomades. As you can see in the pic, I have taken an extreme liking to the Grant's and bought about eight tins of the stuff.... The Grants is almost waxlike in its setup for combing. it doesnt "wet" the hair or curl it, and actually sets up nicely.... I can recomb my hair at any time and have the product set it self up again. It leaves the hair looking wet/slick, but not as much as petroleum pomades. Now it does come in two varieties, putty and regular. The putty is a limited edition extra hold for the summer heat. I dont find it to be that binding, and actually have 6 tins of this compared to the two of the regular. Scent is a nice sweet almond."

Finer Cut Review

Check out this review of our limited edition putty pomade from the fine folks at Finer Cut:

If there’s one hair product at FinerCut that most of our staff couldn’t live without, it would be a tin of Grant’s Golden Brand Pomade. So understandably we were excited to see that they were doing a limited, one run production of their new designed-for-summer ‘Putty’ pomade. Formulated to be slightly thicker and more heat-resistant, this pomade will keep your style in shape in even the most oppressing summer heat. Best of all? It’s water soluble, so you get all the hold you need, without having that gunky build-up over time.

Thanks guys for the support!

the Rebel Rouser

We recently had some great coverage from The Rebel Rouser. For those who don't know the R.R. is an excellent blog that features the latest & the legendary pomades along with other greasy culture lifestyle interests. They posted some kind words for our brand:

BIG thanks to the kind folks at Grant’s Golden Brand! You folks gave me amazing customer service, over a year ago, and have not let up! Something a lot of people take for granted, but not I! “Style Is Everything,” may need  to be changed to “Customer Service Is Everything!” Well, that doesn’t sound as cool, does it? They’ve worked tirelessly, to give people what they wanted. By listening to their customers, they’ve developed a new product to offer stronger hold for both men and women. The bi-product of the customer feedback and actually giving a damn, is none other than their limited edition Putty Pomade.

Thanks to The Mighty Rebel Rouser, keep up the great work.

Hope you all had a good holiday weekend. Ours was simple, but at least included watching Serpico again, one of our favorite Pacino movies. This NY Times article is a good read for any Serpico fans. And if you haven't seen it, what are you doing? Turn off the damn reality crap on T.V., and watch something actually worth your time!
