It is a steep price^^^

but you have to understand that every single one of their hoodies is hand made. Thats why I can see the price of thier jawns being so high. Props on the line HomeRoom...

The hoodies are $300 NOT $200

I don't know where you got that figure, but here's the e-mail I received from one of the guys at HomeRoom.

Thank you for your interest in a HomeRoom hoody. The hoddies are all custom made to your order. I've include the swatch's of the fabrics that are current for the fall season. If you chose to order a custom hoody. I will send you instructions on how to measure your self to insure a tailored fit, or you can pick from the preassigned templates (s,m,l, xl,2x,3x).

A custom hoody entails you choosing all of the fabrics. You will choose both sides of the hoody, you will also chose the color and length of the zipper (bape style or just up to the neck) and ribbing around the wrist and waist. . All hoodies are made in San Francisco by a professional. The cost is $200 for a custom hoody or 245 for a custom full reversible hoody.

HomeRoom; dress like its the first day of school.

and, I said it was going to run me 200+ (hence the "+")

200?300? WHATEVER, THOUGH, shit is still too pricey for me.

there flying at $300, everyone keeps telling me to raise the prices since there hand made by the actual designer...its gonna be at $300 for the fall season, can't raise prices for no reason, but stay tuned for the $10,000 hoodie dropping on my birthday. 3/3/07

w0rd..whose the REAL designer? Most of the brand charge high on their clothing since they spend alot of money on advertising & marketing.

Im not hatin on your hustle but having a blog and spreading word of mouth and expect to sell for $300?? i dont think so.
Its hot that is a "custom" hoody and its hand made, its great idea BUT it still don't cost that much to make.

spykeflipb01
08-16-2006, 05:59 PM
Saw them at TRUE for 300 i liked em but i rather get 3 free gold watch hoodies for that price. i like the fabric u use thouse, that one that the pack was wearing is sick! the inside reminds me of 80s-90s biker shorts for some reason

tommyroks
08-16-2006, 06:04 PM
To be honest I would glady spend $ 200 USD on a CUSTOM hoody made to my specifications. Im lovin there concept. Might just be me but whatever man.
too bad its $300 now..ask him for a hypebeast discount..

kennmon
08-16-2006, 06:35 PM
bwahaha.
the statement about the bandanas near the top of his post shows how trendwhore this is, terrible imo.

especially them acting as a middle man for large profit to get you a custom hoody.

omgz so cool. :dodgy:

juggla
08-16-2006, 06:51 PM
yeah, too bad they are 300$ ... for 300$ you can do a goooood sewing course and make them buy your own...

but if you lazy or dont have time, and want the hoodies bad... well, then you will have to pay what they ask... but 300$ is very overpriced...the grnappletrees are also handmade but cost only 200 - 250$

Dean. ALVAL
09-05-2006, 05:08 AM
It takes 10-15 hours of hand sewing for each one. $300 is between the retailer and the consumer not the company and the consumer. You think i'm doing this to be rich? HA!

and to the guy above 2 slots.

Look at what HR is about, before you pass judgement. i know its easy to scan threw and throw something out, but take your time and find out more about the company and our goals.

And that we hand make all of our own stuff before calling us unoriginal.

KoolGuy
09-14-2006, 10:48 PM
sorry to burst your bubble brosef but where do you get off comparing yourself to bape? Bape doesn't go around buying fabrics from their local shops and sewing them together. Have you done any custom roll printed fabric? What weight? 350 GSM? Overlocked stitching? Is your shit even remotely origional? Also if your claiming that those hoodies take you 10+ hours to make your basically clowning yourself and admitting that you are a terrible tailor. Any talented seamstress could put together one of those hoodies in a half hour. Your logo is wack your name is wack your hoodies are okay but they still show absolutely no design skill whatsoever. Go to detention.

That ones ill^

The only thing that irks me a little about this company is the fact that anyone could go to thier local Jo Ann fabrics...find these exact same swatches of fabric. Bring it to the Asian woman at the dry cleaners (no disrespect) and have her create it based on a hoody you already have for about 70 dollars.

Lets say you spend 75 on 4 meters of inner and outter fabric a zipper, cuffs and thread and the woman charges you 70 for the sewing your payin 145...

I love the hoodies I would cop but the price is just over the top...

Obviously people must consider Supreme and B.A.P.E. to be worth it.

modernART
09-28-2006, 09:35 PM
it's 300 because of the time and prepping it takes to make these hoodies.

all the brands you just named outsource ALL their work elsewhere, which in turn allows them to set the retail price, or even wholesale price, much lower than how Homeroom gets their products done.

realest shit said in here

its hilarious people here read the foolery people speak. To think that the prices make more sense then those of other companies mentioned are fucknig hilarious. If you think the prices home room charges are justifiable on the basis of cost and labor you are a certified moron. Just like homie said if they are Taking that long to sew the shit together they most be pretty bad at tha craft, or someones milking the clock charging a trumped up rate

Honestly the graff artist REBEL made repro old school TNF steeptech jackets with like 34 hidden pockets in them, constructed with goretex, kevlar, and mad other tech fabrics I've never heard of that cost 10 to 20 times more then any generic roll fabric HR used, and he charged the same price as a BASIC Home Room hoodie, so how does their pricing make sense on ANY level?

I got nothing against homeroom, its great they got lupe to wear a hoodie during a show that they gave him for free, but theres so much STUPIDITY in this thread about quality and costs its not even funny. If ya'll like the shit cause the way it looks or because Lupe wore it thats fine, but to follow Koolguys line all ya'll should be expelled for fronting like ya'll could explain ths shit any other way.

thats funny i was going to say the same thing. If you ppls are really obvious with "custom hoodie and custom fabric" which fit your shape your body. Go to my ppls (asians), sew you couple of hoodies for $300.
Better yet, if you ever travel to china..They'll do one hoodie for $50 with fabric! I am thinking of gettin one done when i go to shanghai in May.

Well the fact of the matter is. A.) I dont know how and dont have time to cut and sew hoodies. B.) I don't travel to china to have someone do it for me for $50.

All they were trying to say is if people can spend that type of money for bape and make nigo millions why not spend that type of money on homeroom which is better quality and make these people some money. if people are willing to buying for that amount then sell them for that amount!

The Diamond X Homeroom Collabo is really dope. I was impressed by the quality of the construction and fabrics used. It is more of a Hooded jacket than a Sweatshirt. It is reversible, one side is Black raw Levis denim (yes from the Levis factory) and the opposite side is black on black rose print.
Pockets have custom Diamond Logo print Lining. It also features a heavy duty reversible zipper and thick military style ribbing.

It will be Available only at the Diamond Supply Co. store in LA.
Price: $250.00

There will only be less then 10 of them, because the
denim was hard to get.
They will drop as soon as the Diamond store opens, sometime before feb 07.

sooo the diamond collabo ones are gunna be cheaper and probaly will be 10 times better than the designs theyve already came out with, however that works but yaa how come no ones been responding to the criticism, both times its been completely ignored.. i mean im not an expert at cut and sew or anything of that sort but obviously the dudes who know their shit clearly ripped apart the whole pricing thing

"Why don't you respond?"...Because the quality speaks for its self.

People that have never seen the product up front are talking/hating. They’re also assuming where I get the fabrics from, what the price is, what I eat for breakfast and how long I brush my teeth for. (You get my point)

Well ok. Here are the answers.
250 is retail, it’s not what I sell it for on most occasions. The stuff has gotten down to being cut in 40 minutes, if patterns need matching. The sewing takes 5 hours per piece. We now print all the Fabrics. I usually eat a Yoplait yogurt for breakfast, preferably blueberry. And, I brush my teeth for 2.5 minutes in a circular motion, but when I get to the molars I go up and down, because my tooth brush hits the back of my jaw if I don’t…

The people that support us I am grateful for.
The people that hate on us let me know that we can only get better.
Homeroom isn’t for everyone.

sure, the asian woman (i'm a woman of asian decent myself, so no disrespect) at the chinatown tailor can make you a cheap hoodie within an hour for cheaper. but will she care about the specific cut and style of your fit? will she care to create a different technique of stitching the pieces together to make it different from the rest? will she care about the way it looks on you or the way other people will see the finished product on you? i highly doubt that... or else she'd be a most wanted woman in this industry.

alval is right, homeroom is definitely NOT for everyone... but needless to say, it HAS caught people's attentions both negative and positive, but isn't that what creativity is all about? any kind of feedback is the best way to allow for anyone or any company to grow. so all these comments are MOST appreciated - real talk.

but for those who are def hating on homeroom, seriously, go out, get some materials, find yourself NOT ONLY a sewing machine, but also a serger machine, create a new pattern/style/fit that will make you different from the rest of the hoodie game, measure everything (making sure that you measure from sizes XS to XXL), find some zippers, get some high quality ribbing, cut all the pieces, match everything up (making sure the patterns align), and create it within a few hours - BUT remember, you also have to repeat this process about 75 to 100 times that week in order to fulfill other orders of course. i too, think its a piece of sweet cake with whipped cream - oh and maybe strawberries, yummmm (with a lil bit of nutella??? hell yes.)... or is that just me?!

peace

"Why don't you respond?"...Because the quality speaks for its self.

People that have never seen the product up front are talking/hating. They’re also assuming where I get the fabrics from, what the price is, what I eat for breakfast and how long I brush my teeth for. (You get my point)

Well ok. Here are the answers.
250 is retail, it’s not what I sell it for on most occasions. The stuff has gotten down to being cut in 40 minutes, if patterns need matching. The sewing takes 5 hours per piece. We now print all the Fabrics. I usually eat a Yoplait yogurt for breakfast, preferably blueberry. And, I brush my teeth for 2.5 minutes in a circular motion, but when I get to the molars I go up and down, because my tooth brush hits the back of my jaw if I don’t…

The people that support us I am grateful for.
The people that hate on us let me know that we can only get better.
Homeroom isn’t for everyone.

Peace and respect.

I definitly read this and laughed for like 10 minutes.


Let the haters hate.

Went to SelfEdge this past weekend looking for jeans and walked out with a "hoody". Not really a hoody to me, more like a PREMIUM hoody or jacket.

Construction of this is really nice. Material is thick, Levis black raw denim on one side and a nice soft (cotton) all over fabric side on the other. Can wear either side but only the denim side has pockets. The zipper is glow in the dark, pretty cool. Fits really nice, comfortable and just overall DOPE! I like both sides, and would feel comfy wearing either.

Thanks to my girl, I know you read this stuff.

Big ups to HomeRoom, keep doing your thing

Check out some pics

^^^ $250+tax. A lil pricey but well worth it. Considering the garbage other brands put out (as far as quality goes) and dudes beast over and are willing to pay $150, HomeRoom is a bargain

dont get me wrong, its gorgeous... but, damn. your either mad spoiled, or your fuckin pimpin... and IMO, 80% of users here are spoiled.

how is the material?... is it thick?... lots of padding?...

<<<Not spoiled. I'm not 15 spending mom and pops money. I'm a bit older, maybe too old to be on this forum. I am however spoiled by my girlfriend. she loves buying me stuff. This was a late xmas gift.

Material is dope, Denim is nice and thick. both sides are truly amazing.

I know $250 is a lil steep but in person you would see why. Kids on here pay outrages prices for some weak stuff. Poorly contructed hoodies but because it has a dope design and a brand name they cop. Don't get me wrong, i like all these streetwear brands but I'm not dumb to pay crazy prices for poorly contructed pieces.

trying to talk down to me like I'm interested in the same childish brands as every other 16 year old kid on here? you're the dude buying the all over gigantic pastel houndstooth print hoodie. I'm not scoffing at the idea of paying $250 for a sweater, it's the fact that they slapped a plastic zipper on it and drill the idea of how labor-intensive and painstakingly hard it was to make your hoodie. it may turn out to be the quality they claim it to be, but by no means will the concept stand the test of time... give it a year, hell even another 2 months and tell us all how poppin' fresh it is -- not because other brands might try to copy it, but (now I'm going to bring you back to my original point) because it's FUGLY.

I got your point, YOU don't like it. Thats cool man, theres tons of stuff posted on here that I dont like. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking down to you. I bought the hoodie cus I think its dope, I love the denim side of it and I love how the houndstooth is crazy inside, really sets the denim off.

As far getting yo paper up goes, that wasn't directed towards you. It was to everyone else bitchin' about the price. I'm not saying i'm ballin', but $250 I can afford, surely theres other things I can't.

I dont how any of that makes you a "tool."

I find you trying to be "anti hypebeast," is extremely tool.

Paying $250 for a handmade hoody > $400 for a poorly made/shitty quality 10Deep chain gang and/or a poorly printed over hyped Hundreds Paisly hoody.

The denim on the Homeroom hoodies is real nice.
Soft, not STIFF. The cut of the hoody itself, is very well cut, so its extremely comfortable...

It is just a statement and so is mine. Defensive? Hardly. I dont own the brand, but I do know the man behind the brand.

The denim is comfy. Thats why I would consider wearing the houndstooth pattern. If the denim wasn't comfy then it'd be just a denim hoody. The whole hoody is comfy.
