R.I.P. Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite: King of Style!

R.I.P. to Rudy Ray Moore, who died this past Sunday at a nursing home in Akron, Ohio at the age of 81. This saddens all of us at Style Rocket, as RRM aka Dolemite, The Human Tornado, The Disco Godfather and Petey Wheatstraw (The Devil’s Son In Law), was a style maven himself. He was also the Godfather of Rap, influencing many rappers, including Snoop Dogg, who proclaimed: “Without Dolemite, there would be no Snoop Dogg”. I mean, without Dolemite, there might not be any Style Rocket. Moore’s style was second to none, and not only does it sadden us that he has passed, but that he also passed in a nursing home. The guy was a pimp, and I’m hoping that when he went, he was dressed to the nines and surrounded by all his women.

We’ll leave you with this quote:

“Dolemite is my name

And rappin’ and tappin’

That’s my game

I’m young and free

And just as bad as I wanna be.”

Go FCUK yourself…

We’ve picked up UK powerhouse FCUK over the last season. Look out for a whole bunch of styles coming through for the late Fall and Holiday seasons. Their clean lines and fashion dominance will never steer you wrong. In other words: “Go FCUK yourself”, and we mean it in the best way possible. Live dangerously and look good.

English Laundry’s Rock and Roll Culture and Then Some!

Christopher Wicks has been somewhat of a Renaissance Man when it comes to these long sleeve button ups. Not only has he dominated with English Laundry, but he has started to push forward with Jimi Hendrix Clothing, Clean Laundry (a higher end English Laundry), and Fender Clothing. We’ve been down with this guy and his empire for many a season. If you’re into a clean, English tailoring and don’t mind being a bit arrogant, this line is for you. Most of the time

Don’t Mess With the Jesus!

If you haven’t heard (hopefully you haven’t been living under a rock this past year), Elvis Jesus is taking over like Jay Z. If music is the new religion, then Elvis is the new Jesus. Never one to shy away from adornments such as rivets, buttons, rhinestones, and a complimentary Special Edition rosary, Elvis Jesus has one thing to say: “Don’t Mess with the Jesus!” Get ’em before they are gone.

Converse by John Varvatos is HERE!

Converse by John Varvatos is here at the Rocket. We’ve stepped up the game on our site and at the flagship store in Asbury Park, NJ by adding one of the most innovative lines out there. How can you not like this line with Perry Farrell as a spokesperson? Get on board people: Converse x John Varvatos = PERFECTION.
