TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

INSULT + INJURY™ IS A NEW YORK BASED LIFESTYLE & APPAREL BRAND ESTABLISHED IN NASSAU, NEW YORK.

THE CONCEPT OF INSULT + INJURY™ REVOLVES AROUND FAITH, DETERMINATION & PERSEVERANCE.

ACHIEVING THE IMPOSSIBLE,

NO MATTER THE OBSTACLE.

NO MATTER THE INSULT,

NO MATTER THE INJURY;

WE RISE, ‘TILL INFINITY.

FAITH ≠ FASHION.

THE BRANDS' FOCUS IS ON CURATING APPAREL & ACCESSORIES THAT BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN UTILITY, FUNCTIONALITY, PRINCIPLE, LIFESTYLE & COMFORT THROUGH HIGH QUALITY GARMENTS & ARTISTIC MEDIUMS.

"THE MARK OF A MAN"

A SAYING THAT REPRESENTS THE MEANS IN WHICH YOU MEASURE A PERSONS VALUE.

IF YOU ASK THE CAPITALIST, "WHAT IS THE TRUE MARK OF A MAN?" THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT "THE MARK OF A MAN IS THE SUM OF HIS ASSETS."

IF YOU ASK THE COMMUNIST, THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT "THE MARK OF A MAN IS THE SACRIFICE HE ENDURES FOR COUNTRY AND FLAG."

IF YOU ASK THE CLERGY, THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT "THE MARK OF A MAN IS DETERMINED BY THE STRENGTH OF HIS FAITH."

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE YOUR WORTH?

THE WORLD IS A JUNGLE AND THE KINGDOM IS HUNGRY.
THE LIVESTOCK ARE MALNOURISHED AND WINTER DRAWS CLOSER.

THE INFANTRY BELIEVES THAT THE “MARK” OF A MAN LIES WITHIN THE SCARS ON HIS BACK AND THE CALLOUSES THAT ADORN HIS HANDS.
THE “MARK” OF A MAN IS THE CHARACTER DEVELOPED THROUGH ENDURANCE. ONLY THROUGH PAIN AND PERSEVERANCE ARE THE STRONGEST SOLDIERS BORN. PRESSURE TURNS STONE TO DIAMOND.

NO MATTER THE INSULT,

NO MATTER THE INJURY;

WE RISE, 'TILL INFINITY.

FAITH ≠ FASHION.
