From its primitive days among the domed tents of the crazed horn-eating hillmen of the Barbanos to the steepled Anguthi workshops of the Guthan Mountains, RRP OFF has consistently sacrificed prestige and fortune to provide its beloved clientele with accessible incendiary apparel. In 2006 the organization established a stateside base of operations within the hills of Morgantown, WV. Soon after that, they stalked onto the internet with their first line of shirts available to the general public. Under the RRP OFF standard, concept, content, and style prevail over profit and marketability, which is why they contribute all their proceeds toward feeding starving artists.
RRP OFF is about many different things to many different people. From common soldier to philosopher; from theologian to penniless poet; artists and engineers alike find it fashion befitting their cause. Numerous customers find RRP OFF provides effective treatment for pop-culture shock. After applying the designs like a salve, many wearers profess immunity to the pigeon-holing of pampered sucklings, and the poisonous consumerist dogma of corporate pimps and vapid label makers, something not even the latest and greatest form of Over-the-Counter Culture can provide.

For others, wearing RRP OFF can contribute unrealized courage and fortitude, or summon supernatural strength amidst the madness of materialistic living. By making simple fabric figuratively thick-skinned, RRP OFF turns rags into rhetorical rawhide. Once you don the emboldening threaded armor you may find the confidence to stand up to the mutant tyrant that’s been bullying your village around. Or go on the offensive and wear one of their forceful fashions to send a subversive message to a despotic robotic regime.
Of course, the leadership behind A Constant RRP OFF has its own explanation to offer...
"The way we see it, RRP OFF is about contributing to cultural salvation; fashion faux-paux-sibilities; concept over company identification; it’s about jumping the bandwagon (into a blood-fueled dune buggy) before it plummets into the gaping chasm of conformity. It has nothing to do with the mainstream, but has everything to do with swimming upstream to sucker-punch fiends of fashion and cast trends into fiery suck holes of self-combustion. This isn’t a company, it’s revenge, and we’re here to pry our identity back from the jeweled claws of the plastic and privileged.
Our apparel is all about strong, lean, and noble style that leaves you freshly dressed for open resistance. RRP OFF is the fanged mouth that flashes a grin before it bites into modern mythos. It’s not about being cute or clever, it’s about being cutting and cunning; smart and dangerous; sober, calculated, charming, always relevant, ever-changing, and eternally fashionable; A Constant RRP OFF."
