DDC Merchmas 2025, Day 03: Survival Solutions for Sorta Serious Scenarios!
Product Description:
Once a year you’ll hear a “very Northwest” story about an eager, young couple doing some exploring in the mountains…hiking and camping in their Subaru…but got in some trouble. They were going deep on forest roads, took a wrong turn, went way too deep and a storm rolled in and dumped enough snow for them to get stuck. So they ride it out overnight in their car and a daybreak one of them will make a go for the road to get help. Sometimes, little kids are involved. Scary stuff. The fact of the matter is this: The West bites back sometimes. Looks all inviting and shit, and it can turn quickly on ya. And each time, there’s always one little quip from the story saying, “If we just had a whistle, hikers a couple miles away might’ve heard us?” Or, “Rescue planes were flying overhead and if only we had a mirror to catch the sun to get their attention!” Weird little things like that.
I’ve always kept an assortment of survival goodies in the van, and in all rigs at the homestead. Whistles, candles, matches, aluminum foil blankets, extra gloves, hand warmers, flashlights and so on. When I saw this little unit? Four features in one? Done.
Sure, it’s pretty dumb. Orange plastic. Goofy ridges and stuff. But a compass when you are lost? Life and death stuff. And let me tell you right now: THAT WHISTLE IS LOUD. There you go.
Be safe out there!
Four Features:
01. Whistle! Loud as all get out.
02. Removable compass!
03. There’s a little mirror inside the compass. You never know.
04. Flint thingie on the side. We loaded it with matches and a flint, just in case.

01. 4-in-1 survival unit!
02. As orange as possible. High Viz!
03. 4-1/2" (W) × 1-1/8" (D) in dimension.

06. Looks good rolling around in adventure rig’s auxilary compartment. You know what I’m sayin’?
07. Just might save you or some happy hiker family. You never know.
08. Get clever and “enhance” the inner tube with yer own survival goods. If you know you know.
09. Little orange-ish/yellow-ish cord attached to it. Wear it around yer neck! You never know.
09. Eat yer heart out, Rambo! Then sew it all back together with the little thread and needle you luckily put in the fucker. Know way!
10. Proudly manufactured and printed in the U.S.A. Know this.
Product Description:
Just a little “Fire Starter” combo. Made as orange as possible. Crusty laser etch logos. Nothing pretty about the thing, but it just might be the little spark that keeps you warm when you are on the lam, in need of getting a little fire going behind that dead auto parts store you find yerself at some cold night in America. Just saying.

Product Description:
Was just on a big road trip across America, and was packaging DDC merch up in some post office parking lot, and sliced the shit out of my knuckle taping up a poster tube. Band aid time! I went digging in my rig, came up empty, nearly “bled out” and had a red flash of inspiration punch me right in the kisser: How come you don’t have a proper DDC Brand First Aid Kit? Precisely for a moment like this?
And I didn’t have an answer. So that night, in the safety of some overpriced flophouse, I got to work on our very own. And that’s what we’re launching today. Safety first, Road Warriors and Free Peoples!

Product Description:
We’ve been making our classic DDC Action Caps for going on twenty years. Same cut, same fabric, same patch and that same fit we love so much. A couple years back, my buddy Sean McMahon brought a hat sample over and said, “Give this one a try—lightweight, nylon with a great fit.” And dang, he was right. The AsColour Surf Cap was new model in the headwear scene, and I had to get an order going. We developed a bunch of rubber patches and picked a handful colors and were off and running. They turned out incredible, and offer a lighter weight and mellower fit. Get loose in these!

DDC Merchmas 2025, Day 06: Three Perennial Bangers on Sale!
Product Description:
This is the fifth edition of our “TIMEX x DDC Standard Issue Scout Watch!” A collaboration between Timex and the Draplin Design Co. Item no. “DDC-200” in our proud roster of DDC merch items. NOW SHIPPING!!!
In the making three years, a process that started with a fateful meeting at Brimfield with fellow junker and watch developer Ali Napolitano. We became buds trading war stories from our junkin’ exploits and a couple weeks later she hit me up about working with TIMEX. And today, we offer up our collaboration. Thank you, Ali!
I used to make watches for Nixon when I worked at Cinco and missed the nicks and ticks and dial scrutiny. The tiny spaces, the precision…the functionality. We got to tap back into that buzz designing this watch face using our DDC Hardware typeface. If you dig the face, wait until you see the caseback! Shit, the box alone is something to marvel at.
These watches are $89.99, plus shipping and handling. We’re proud about that. Not $300 or $849 or whatever all-too-unattainable price we come across too often. You know what we like about TIMEX? You can go to Target right now and get a killer one for $70. I appreciate that. Durability and design at a fair, affordable price. We fight hard for this same stuff at the DDC. From our posters to our action caps to that DDC book, and proudly, this incredible TIMEX watch. ACT NOW!

Product Description:
HERE’S HOW THIS ONE WENT DOWN: Way back in 2015, one Will Hodges representing Tactile Turn down in Dallas hit me up with this savory nugget, “My name is Will Hodges and I make sweet machined pens.” And I don’t have any record of hitting him back? Either it got lost in the mix, or buried, or? Hard to say. Anyhoo, days turned into weeks into months into years and EVERYTHINGELSENESS took over.
Fast forward to April of 2023 and he hits me up again…it rings an odd bell and we get on the phone an hour later. We jawed a bit and got down to business: “How orange can you make it for me, Will?” Within a week I had a couple beautiful samples to try out! And I’ve been using that first sample for SIX MONTHS...daily daily daily. In and out of my possibles bag. Rattling around on my desk. One flick of bolt and I’m into the ink stratosphere!
The machined craftsmanship is stunning. Quite frankly, you’ll have this pen THE REST OF YER LIFE. Tough as hell, yet incredibly smooth to write with. I love a simple Clic Pen and all, but there’s something about these pens that elevates my game on paper. And that’s pretty dang cool.
Going back to this one, “My name is Will Hodges and I make sweet machined pens.” He sure does. And we did here with the “DDC × Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen” in anodized ”As-Orange-As-Possible!”
Product Details:
01. Exquisitely-machined, durable Tactile Turn bolt action pen.
02. 1-color etching of “Way White” laser-engraved into ”As-Orange-As-Possible” anodized barrel.

DDC Merchmas 2025, Day 07: Feel The Darkness, Blood Sugar Bluster and a Signed DDC Book!
Product Description:
Okay, okay…just chill out. Sure, this torso cover was HEAVILY influenced by that classic Black Sabbath “Master of Reality” cover, but it was also inspired by weirdo/occult/hippie/bad acid trip bullshit out of old biker mags and grainy counter-culture documentaries. Just getting weird with things. Weird enough to step to “purple” with no shame. These needed it. Hell froze over. Purple, it is. Anyhoo, the world is a weird place. Right? Wrong? Heaven? Hell? Magic? Black magic? Good? Bad? Wizards? Sorcerers? All of the above.
No one really knows what the fuck is really going on. Just go with it.
And my mind drifts to my favorite Jerry Garcia quote, right around the time all the shit went down at Altamont: “All this good needs a little bit of evil, you know?” Or something like that. Turns out he was defending the Hell’s Angels precarious presence around the Dead in the early ’70s. That one always stuck with me in a weird, little way.
Who knows. I sure don’t. Get dark with us…just a little bit.

Product Description:
Esquire. Ford Motors. Burton Snowboards. The Obama administration. While all of these brands are vastly different, they share at least one thing in common: a teeny, little bit of Aaron James Draplin—one of the new school of influential graphic designers who combine the power of design, social media, entrepreneurship, and DIY aesthetic to create a successful business and way of life.
Draplin Design Co. includes examples of his work—posters, record covers, logos—and presents the process behind his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things We Love” State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much more goes into design than just what appears on the page.
Draplin writes in his introduction, “I made this stuff my life. When something is your hobby first, the ‘work’ part never feels the same. I love making this stuff. And I’m hoping that will never change. I’ve been lucky to pull off a killer life in design. Let this goddamn book be proof.”
With Draplin’s humor and pointed observations on the contemporary design scene, Draplin Design Co. is the complete package for the new generation of designers.
A Couple Quotes from the Big Leagues:
“Aaron Draplin is sort of like the Bernie Sanders of graphic design...Now the designer is dropping a book called Pretty Much Everything (out May 17), and according to the official announcement it’s going to be a ‘mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, covers, and logos.’ Chances are it’s probably going to be pretty damn funny, too.” –WIRED
“Aaron James Draplin lets the simplicity and universality he found in Lego toys as a child guide his work designing corporate logos and other work for companies like Nike and the New York Times, plus snowboards, posters and a slew of other projects.” –Globe and Mail

DDC Merchmas 2025, Day 08: 5-in-1 Skate Tools and Our “Transition Tribute” Deck Marked Down!
Product Description:
I grew up skateboarding. Got my first board at twelve, a sketchy orange “Sidewalk Surfer” Makaha. Central Lake, 1985. I remember busting my ass on the thing out in front of the house. But I learned how to tic tac around. Next up was a no-name Sears something-or-other that I quickly broke. Then it was a Variflex. Then a Brand-X Executioner. Then a Santa Cruz Jeff Grosso. And I had made my choice by this time. My friends and I went “all in” as skaters. The haircuts, clothing, language and collective sessioning around town was more than a hobby. It opened so many doors. To bands, activism, questioning authority and having each other’s fuckin’ backs when the jocks were laying into us. But most important? Ii taught us how to think for ourselves. How to make our own way. Thankful for that.
I’m a bit afraid of skateboarding now. I don’t want to be that 52-year-old beast who “goes down hard” and doesn’t get back up, or, finds himself on the business end of a broken bone or newly-acquired limp. But I do have my memories. Of wall rides. Of no-complies. Of slappies. Of ollie-to-backside-tail-slides. Of mini ramps. Of a bad slam in Las Vegas in 1997 and there’s days my left elbow still hurts. Good shit.
It’s still fun to set up a board. And why not have my own tool? Possessed to skate!
Five Features:
01. 3/8" socket for the kingpins.
02. 5/16" socket for axle nuts.
03. 10/32" socket for mounting hardware.
04. L-type Phillips head screwdriver.
05. L-type Allen key.
Product Details:
01. 5-in-1 skateboard t-tool!
02. 1-color imprint of “Way White” on “As Orange As Possible” ballistic plastic tool.
03. 4-5/16" (W) × 3-29/32" (L) × 1" (D) in dimension.
04. Compact size for workbench, skate shop, middle age skateboard hoard stash and toolboxes of every shape and size.
05. Durable as hell.
06. “Never underestimate the strength of a pebble.”

Product Description:
So, we bought this house couple years back. We had big plans. We were gonna add on a “new addition” “off the back” of the place We were going to build a “mini ramp” in the back yard. We had plans for a “sprawling deck.” So far, the burliest thing we’ve used this fucker for is marking where to cut some bathroom moulding. But, don’t use our lackluster performance as an example. Dig deep, buy some wood, get to work, measure some shit up and try not to cut a finger off in the process.
