Peace! Commonwealth DC will be hosting the “H.R. Documentary Fund Raiser / C’MON X H.R. Product Launch” November 2nd. The legendary frontman of Bad Brains will be in-store between 8p to 10p, and will be available for autographs and conversation. In addition we will also be releasing “C’MON & H.R.” partnered products in which proceeds will go to the HR documentary by Small Axe Films. Your support will directly benefit the finishing of this important documentary. The Washington Post states,

“There are few rock icons more overdue for a film treatment than Bad Brains; gifted, eccentric and ferociously energetic frontman H.R., and finally he’s getting one.”

We highly recommend arriving early, capacity is limited and we’d like everyone to get a chance to meet H.R.. For more information please check the flyer above.

In addition, immediately after the in-store event we will be migrating to the U Street Music Hall (1115 U St.) for the official after party. Live performances by H.R. and Human Rights, and music selections from DJ’s Stereo Faith (Mousetrap/DC) and Kenny Meez (Federeation Sound/NYC).

Peace. We hope all is well. This Saturday, June 12th, Commonwealth is slated to release our first time piece; the “Commonwealth Diving Watch.” This classic early military influenced watch features a black face dial, with our “Anvil” logo top-center, and the quote, “TIME WILL TELL” bottom-center. This time piece will be available with both a purple and black C”MON nylon Nato band.

Commonwealth Diving Watch specs:

• Stainless steel casing

• Rotatable unidirectional bezel

• Scratch resistant glass face

• Japanese movement

Commonwealth introduces an exemplary approach to their version of the Oakley Frogskin®.

The Commonwealth rendition features an original “Cmonflauge” pattern inspired by the look
of traditional tortoise shell. Using Oakley’s HIgh Definition Optics®,   the sunglasses
are equipped with your choice of Gold or Fire Iridium lenses.

In favor of having the product speak for itself, branding efforts were kept to minimum
with a tonal Oakley logo on the outside temple as well as Commonwealth’s “C’MON” ribbon
printed on the inside of the arm.

The Commonwealth & Oakley Frogskins® are sure to be a timeless classic that stands out
amidst the parade of novelty accessory. Made in the USA, with a production run of only
150 pairs, look for these to be available exclusively at Commonwealth stores and online
at Cmonwealth.com.

Look for an upcoming campaign featuring the Commonwealth & Oakley Frogskins on the faces
of Pusha T from the Clipse, Chad Hugo from N.E.R.D, Wale, Levi Maestro, and the staff
from Commonwealth.

Available September 5th 2009 (Labor Day Weekend)
