The summer is kind of officially upon us...and you know how DC gets during the summer, heat and smog combined equals extra sweat glands. So here is the easiest/freshest way to stay cool. Thanks to Commonwealth DC we present a crack summer line-up of short sleeve button ups. Now first before we detail each EF approved piece , here is a little background info on the hard to find/pull off short sleeve button up. The look is admittedly kind of nerdy, but that's what makes these shirts so dope. The nerdy look combined with unique colorways/patterns and superior craftsmanship makes for the perfect chill summer shirt. Here are our picks for summer. Oh yea, remember to rock these joints with jeans or pants always...never shorts.BBC- you can never really go wrong with this brand, they are just so different whenever you wear some of their gear you're making a statement. Here you got a nice seer-sucker vibe going on with that BBC flavor on the chest pocket, cop one Original Fake - here is a nice simple gray striped piece that focuses you attention on the chomper chest pocket, Original Fake is notorious for their chomper design, it really makes the piece unique, cop one Penfield - a favorite brand of EF, Penfield never disappoints...never. This Western style cut double chest pocket shirt is a must have. Penfield is known for their quality, and now their design as well. cop one 10 Deep - I would wear this with...? actually I have no idea, I wouldn't wear this one, but you might! This shirt seems like more of a transitional piece, something you'd wear near the end of August when it's still hot but fall is just round the bend.
This is where you come to find exclusive tunes to either blast in the wheels, chill with a shorty or friends, and of course we got smoke tunes. Oh yea, if you want one of the songs below, just email us and we'll email it to you! Enjoy

Here are a few terms we actively use in our blog. We want to make sure our readers understand our slang, it just makes the experience more enjoyable. OD- This term stands for "Over Dose". It means when something is crazy wild in a good way, or too extra in a bad way. Walking down the DC streets wearing Teva sandals, socks, and shorts in the winter time is OD! In the same respect, the new Mercedes Benz C63AMG is OD!
Dope- We use this quite a bit when talking about a product or movie, it's just another word for cool
Crack- Not as controversial as it sounds, we use "crack' to describe something that is just out of this world fresh. We may say something like: That new EF post is CRACK!!
Went In- When a rapper shows extreme lyrical ability in a verse or whole track.
Rastio Lyool- A close friend to the EF family. Originally from Africa Rastio migrated from Jamaica to Brooklyn, NY. He played a large role in the "eh doesn't affect me" movement of the 90's. Rastio is like Tommy off Martin, ya digg.
Fux With It- We use this when referencing something we really like. If your in Stussy or CmonWealth and you see a crack pair of kicks you'd say: "oh these are crack, I fux with them"!
Huff- use this when you talk about something WACK...Like if you see dude rocking some Kool-aid Reeboks, you'd say "damn, his shoe game is HUFF" you can also use the term to describe when you get carried. So if you're talking to a shorty, and you ask for her number, she looks you up and down, blinks 3 times and walks away...you got HUFFED!
Teleport - This converts a person or object into an energy pattern (a process called dematerialization), then "teleports" it to a target, where it is reconverted into matter (rematerialization)...in short it lets you read the full post
Takedownables - This is a new term DCBG created to describe dimes or beautiful women who are simply irresistible, and therefore must be taken down accordingly. Being a takedownable is the ultimate status and compliment, better than winning Ms. Universe or World's Sexiest Woman. Hope this helps you understand the lingo.
