Benny Diar x Clout x ELM "Death Cheater" Fitted Caps

From Benny Diar himself: “My name is Benny, known in the graffiti world as Diar. I have been an artist my whole life. I started writing graffiti at the age of 11, and was an active writer until February 2008, when a bad car accident left me paralyzed from the neck down.”

Continuing the much needed support, Clout Magazine has connected with ELM Company, graphic designer Sammy Rodriguez and sign painter Sean Barton on the official "Death Cheater" fitted caps. These caps are made in wool with contrast top button, eyelets and under visor in light gray. The inside of the caps feature satin linings. Front Death Cheater graphic was designed by Sammy Rodriguez while the custom Benny Diar signature on the back by Sean Barton.
Support Diar's recovery by purchasing this collector's edition fitted cap, now through Clout.
