At Peepa's, we're passionate about bringing you guys the latest in innovative and stylish fashion. That's why we're excited to introduce d.RT, a fresh and dynamic menswear brand designed for men who are ready to define their own style, just as d.RT has its own unique defined groove.
The Story of d.RT
d.RT was founded in the fall of 2020 by 17-year-old Dylan Thompson, along with his sister Paula Brunson and her husband, Brian Brunson. Hailing from a small town in Alberta, Canada, Dylan's love for fashion was sparked by his early travels to fashion capitals like Milan and New York City. These experiences instilled in him an appreciation for well-crafted clothing and a desire to help others discover their style.
A Letter from Dylan Thompson
"Like you, I’m a typical teenager. I’m a hockey and streetwear-obsessed kid from a small town in Alberta, Canada, who wears snapbacks and frequents the mall with his friends to check out the latest Nike AF1s drops. I like to cook. And sleep. Definitely sleep. But most of all, I love to shop. Especially for clothes.
I credit my gravitation towards fashion to my exposure to travel at a young age. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around the world—to places like fashion capitals such as Milan and New York City—with my parents. We were always on the hunt, looking for one-of-a-kind, or memorable, things to bring back to my two older sisters, Pam and Paula. Those experiences provided me with an early understanding that dressing well is a way of finding out about yourself. A rite of passage for very young man.
That sentiment stayed with me and ultimately became the cornerstone of d.RT. I launched this brand with myself--and you--in mind. I wanted to bottle that knowledge and passion and create a reliable, well-executed clothing resource that would help you cultivate--or refresh--your own style identity before you stumble into manhood.
d.RT is a concise, buildable wardrobe that can extend seamlessly from casual to dressy, and is built to be worn and reworn (and reworn)--just the way you need it to be. No gimmicks. No exaggeratedly dropped crotches. Just dope product with polished vibes. Best of all: no tailoring required."
About d.RT
d.RT offers a curated collection of fashion-forward menswear aimed at young men aged 13 to 30 (though their bold approach to fashion is great for any age). The brand is dedicated to creating an accessible yet elevated wardrobe anchored in comfortable, easy-to-care-for pieces. From casual wear to more polished looks, d.RT’s collection is designed to be versatile and enduring.
More Than Just Clothing
d.RT is more than just a fashion brand; it's a lifestyle. Paula Brunson emphasizes the brand’s mission to support young men as they transition through the different stages of life. "d.RT needed to be more than just clothing. It needed to be a whole lifestyle," says Paula. "A place where boys can become young men first, and then become men. No leapfrogging the middle. I’m proud to say that I think we’ve accomplished this, and we’ll keep striving for this as we go forward."
