It has been a wild wild November let me tell you. Lets start with the soap updates. November's Pumpkin Spice drop was a success! I was able to get some out to all sorts of folks to include Kiren Kichuk (Thank You Casa De Luta) and Tommy Langaker (Thank You Team Choco).
And while that is all cool and all, the realness comes in the form of the love and support I receive from all of you. I can't do any of this without you and for that I am truly grateful.
So back to the updates...in the quest of bringing you a more natural product, I have gone away from all dyes. They just weren't doing it for me you know? Here I have all these natural ingredients, and I start adding food coloring to the dyes to give it more personality. Not the way I wanted to go. So I did the deep dive and found natural root powders and plants to get the desired effect. This is my commitment to providing to the absolute best that nature has to offer. Below you'll find the my current color palette.
Green: Alfalfa Power
Red: Indian Madder Root
Orange: Turmeric (Kurkuma) Powder
Tan: Moroccan Red Clay
Purple: Alcanna Root Powder
Black: Activated Charcoal
Brown: Coffee
MERCH!!!!
Damn was this the month of MERCH! I released the 3rd Heel Hook Hygiene Rashguard and it was a beaut! Please please, give @custominferno a like on Instagram. Those dudes are super professional, they are made in Italy and the turn around time is unbelievable.
And on a whim I had some patches made, limited run of 15, picked them up on Saturday, and by Sunday morning they were gone! So if you missed the patches I do apologize, I will get a larger order stocked and ready to punch out.
Shout out to Deniz and the Tailor Shop for the work that was put into these. If you ever need any expert tailoring and patchwork the Tailor Shop is your go to.
the WAY AHEAD...
As always big things are on the horizon.
We had some of our athletes compete at Let's Roll in Bonn and bring home some hardware!!! Absolutley killed it. Proud of you guys.
Orders from the United States are coming, like large 20+ orders. Heel Hook Hygiene has also partnered with CASA DE LUTA to be their official soap provider!!! Big shout out to Abel and Katrin for trusting me and giving me this opportunity.
I am already grinding away at the January Soap Drop and I have a design for the 4th Heel Hook Hygiene Rashguard. Got some custom shorts inbound, I am doing a test run on those so be on the look out for some short ass no gi grappling shorts.
Big things are happening and thank you to EVERYONE for supporting me and this soap thing of mine.
Stay clean you animals

Good stuff my man! Can’t wait to get my patch and help you test run the shorts!
