What to know about Tony Delfino
Founded by graffiti artists
Smithe, Dhear and Mike started the label in 2008 as illustrators, so the output is dense original artwork on t-shirts, button-downs, hoodies, jackets and caps.
Mexican pop culture, cartoon-style
Prints lean on cartoon drawing and Mexican pop-culture references rather than logo branding, which is the main reason people buy the pieces.
Short runs, big-name collaborators
Styles are produced a few dozen at a time, and the brand has worked with New Era, Levi's, adidas Originals and Fundación Jumex from its Centro Histórico store.
