New Understanding of Life.

I'm a New Yorker, and I've been a barber for a long time. One day I was looking back through photos and noticed something: in almost every one, I was wearing a New York baseball cap.

I've always loved what a cap can do. You can wear it with a hoodie or with a blazer. It works in the shop, at church, at dinner. It's one of the few things that's always been part of how I show up.

But looking at those photos, I asked myself what I was really representing. My faith means more to me than any sports team. I wanted something I could wear every day that said that — without being loud about it.

So I started from the foundation.

The front is an original white cross I designed, raised and embroidered with the same care you'd expect from a professionally made cap. On the side sits the badge I think of as the foundation of it all — Saved by Grace, from Ephesians 2:8-9 in the King James Version. On the other side, a small mark: NULIFE. New Understanding of Life.

As a barber, I also thought about what's under the cap. The inside is lined with a smooth satin-like fabric, meant to be gentler on hair and help your style hold up through the day.

NULIFE isn't meant to preach. It's meant to be worn — dressed up or down, every day — by people who want what they wear to mean something.
