Worldwide, the Black Scale streetwear label is synonymous with cutting-edge styles rendered in somber tones like black and grey. Black Scale was established in Los Angeles in 2007 by Michael "MEGA" Yabut and Alfred De' Tagle, who released a line of ready-to-wear garments bearing the label's logo and other designs. They came up with the idea by merging four distinct themes: faith, individuality, nationalism, and mortality.
