With the deep-rooted influences and experiences from the collective, Division 26 is spreading its message and converting dedicated athletes and style conscious into the D26 Devoted. Originally we set out to create a line of clothing that did justice to the hard core mountain bike culture and its converging influences, but we soon found that not only were hard core mountain bikers embracing the line, but so were people from all aspects of action sports including skating, BMX, surfing, snowboarding, moto and wakeboarding. We wanted to grow this company organically and let it take on a life of its own; a true rider owned and operated company. We always knew we would embrace the other core sports that have meant so much to us growing up, since collectively we have spent decades on the snow, street, surf and stage living it everyday. FORCE THE FUTURE HONOR THE PAST! Our mission is to shine a light on the culture that we live and breathe, by creating innovative clothing and designs that represent the converging influences of action sports, music and art communities worldwide. Originally founded by longtime professional musician and action sports enthusiast Dale Rowley in 2006, the company quickly pushed forward with the addition of Local Southern, CA culture Guru Bob Burns and Legendary professional mountain biker/BMX World Champion Eric"EC"Carter. Most recently highly acclaimed graphic designer Adam J Wester who has worked for the likes of Marilyn Manson, Aerosmith, Ticket Master and a host of other huge rock bands has been added to the team as creative director. Division 26 Clothing features high quality street, sports and music influenced apparel and accessories aimed at the progressive lifestyle. The current line consists of stylish t-shirts, hoodies, jerseys, knitwear, and hats. The new line for 2009 includes a full line of tees, hoodies, headwear, jackets, belts, socks and accessories so check back often for updates.
