Atticus is just a clothing line that B182 started, just like Puffy’s Sean John and stuff like that.

here’s a catalog:

And if you didn’t know, Atticus Finch is one of the main characters in the book “To Kill a Mockingbird,” which you should read because it’s awesome.

Atticus is the name of chain of bookstores.

[http://www.atticusbookstore.com/](http://www.atticusbookstore.com/)

It’s also the name of Scout Finch’s father in _To Kill a Mockingbird_.

A google search of the word atticus brought back mostly the bookstore, a web-design company, the noble and brilliant attorney,and [Odeon of Herodes Atticus](http://web.kyoto-inet.or.jp/org/orion/eng/hst/greek/herodes.html).
