Lmac / retail yakuza

[digital pistol]

have anybody ever purchased lmac tees?
i wanna cop one but not sure bout the quality.
is it just mediocre cotton tees

[Nawkternal]

ooo jeez hell no it isnt


THE QUALITY IS SO PERFECT and it doesnt feel like any normal regular tee it feels so soft and fits like it supposed to be and the screenprint is so perfect

[contaygious]

yeah takes years to get though. i ordered my hoodie like months ago haha. i have no idea when this thing is actually comin.......be warned

i don't care if it's handscreened or whatever, handscreen them in advance i dont get why it takes 3 months to get a hoodie?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[orisue]

the quality of the tee is good. it feels like supreme to me... or maybe I'm just tricked that it is lmac hahaha

[Texas Mike]

I ordered a shirt from them a while ago and it came pretty fast (like a week or so). Not sure why your hoodie is taking so long.

[supremeclientele]

yeah man the tee;s are good quality very soft compared to supreme tee,s tho. shipping took about a week to australia they are very friendly and easy to deal with.....

[brice]

the t's are super asian in material. and teh paint is great. doesnt fade or anything.

[Jest]

yeah the tees are like japanese brands quality very high.. hey Contaygious.. mine took long to come too just came in a few hours ago via UPS.. it was due to some delays they had and it being on pre-order when i got it but they extended a 20% on next orders to everyone for the delays.. very good service IMO. I think your's should come soon too.. and OMG the yakuza hoodie quality is SICK!! they changed thier hoodie quality.. it's heavy as NUTS!! Hope your parcel comes in soon Con!

thanks Jest! I don't know if I could wait all over again even with the 20% haha. Can't wait for the hoodie, but the thing is that they told me it wasn't a preiorder...I ordered by talking to the person via email and they said it would come in 7-14 days then like 14 days later they say oh its delayed. Then like 14 days later they said it would be here in 14 work days.......hope it comes soon!!!!!!!!

[Admin]

Just want to say that the material is nice and the screen print is good as well. Wish they had them in other colors and not just black.

[mr. newbie]

is every shirt really black and white?

[Mackland]

LMAC wouldnt be LMAC if they'll use bright ass spring colours

can you imagine le messie' art on neon green, yellow, infrared euuuuh

I can, but that would be horror. LMAC is gangsta enough like this.

[Theseventhletter]

what happened to their jeans one week they were $90usd the nest like $200usd and now theyre gonei slept n now i regret it and with a brand like lmac theres no way in hell in getting them shits on ebay :(


anyone know where i can get the true crime RS-100 pumas? PM if you know thanks

OMG!! haa haa!!

[thelion1856]

yeah most def they got the highest quality t shirts out of every brand out there. Most def the best quality screen prints too. Lmac/retail yak!

[Jest]

now what i don't get is how they handscreen so many tees!!
I took a class in silkscreening 2 years ago and i ditched it after the 1st week, just looked too time consuming and too much hard work involved, i was reading an article that many handscreening places are now obselete and have changed to machines due to the save in time and overall costs.

[contaygious]

don't the hats have green brims?

I think my hoodie is at the post office........YAY I'ma go get it and take tons of pics, whoohoo!

[Jest]

hooray for Con! I just used my discount card at Yakuza, it works!! :)

[Theseventhletter]

I got in contact with messie hopefully ill get my Jeans ah haaaaaa i will be the only muh fucka in the whole shitty state of Florida with them all God Willin




still nothing about the True Crime Puma RS-100s?

[Larry Hizzler]

doesn't LMAC get in trouble for using comic images? I worked for a company that used an image with a hint of this marvel character (that was redrawn) and they were served with a cease and desist order. Some of the LMAC designs are straight images from a comic.

i've seen this in the forum like 3 times regarding copyrights:

"Copyrighted material is not protected against parody, but parodying something doesn't protect you from a lawsuit." -My Pal the Crook

"if you're not a corporate company/brand no one will bother touching you. legal fees itself is too much. Just ask Mishka or LMAC they do shit load of copyrighted material.. there are so many other indy brands that do the same.. it's all about the jacks and flips.Another i guess is there's no one to point the finger too." - Jest

from here: http://www.hypebeast.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2899&highlight=triumvir

Also look at Mr Kostas Seremetis


*or i guess they all could have licensing agreements with Marvel?

[Larry Hizzler]

I wouldn't lump Kostas with LMAC. Kostas reinterprets Marvel imagery for paintings. I would attribute what Kostas' art to what lichtenstein did.

I guess one of the reasons can be LMAC is in Asia. It's just like how Levi's doesn't go after all the Japanese repo companies.

The current company that I'm working for got a cease and desist order for something really dumb in regards to their branding. It's not even close to the other companies trademark. They said we infringed on a certain shape, which is far fetched. But both places I worked for are bigger companies.

I don't think that LMAC would have licenses with Marvel, Image and Dark Horse.

Stussy tried to go after Fresh Jive last year over a t-shirt. I guess it just depends on how big you are. Once you blow up, jacks and flips will be harder to do.

^ i think that really adds to the appeal of it, knowing it was done with the highest of quality from 1 crew/person ya know? i agree though, would suck for doing high volume runs...

[C to the J L]

they have afull size run in all the shirts as of now

[el chu]

wheres the preview of summer stuff? i dont see it

totally agree :). I don't think Kosta's gets ceast and desist orders!! haa haa

but what about brands like Mishka, Crooks & Castle, Triumvir, etc i know they're many more.. i really guess then it's the size of the company.. Mishka are over here in the states as with many others and they just flipped a Judge Death and some others from the music scene. I agree when you grow bigger jacks and stuff will be much harder to do. Im so curious! What's the name of the company you work or worked for.. even a hint would do. haa ha.

For me it's that appeal i love, when i buy most of my jacked stuff, is that it was a dangerous thing for the company to do. My favourite i just copped has to be KMFDM by Mishka & SVSV x LMAC!!


el chu: here's the perm link.. http://www.hypebeast.com/lemessie/2006/05/10/i-dont-sell-no-fuckin-lipstick/

anyone know more info? I'm guessin that's a Yakuza graphic. I love the message!

[Mackland]

i asked what's up with my order and a request for the kumichou, why they dont put it on the site :) (got it).. damn their com is the best there is

Reason being they have stopped production of those designs and are only making them for their international store orders, so if they happen to be making the design this particular week they’ll just throw in a new production for a few lucky requests. All designs are capped at 200 – 300 pcs worldwide only. :)

Right Now, I work for a womens clothing company. It's not a very famous brand and they go for a mainstream aesthetic.

I agree with you on the jacked stuff, I love it when it references something I like. One of my favorite brands is Mishka, they do it the best IMO. If I had the money I'd cop every shirt from this season.

I really like the unleashed LMAC shirt. Le Messie uses a lot of my favorite comic book characters in his designs.

[2ndthought]

a while ago i asked folks about the quality and about picking up some LMAC. well, i took ya'll word and made that move and my hoodie made it here today. i thank you folks, i'm pleased with my purchase and pleased to support LeMessie and the LMAC fam.
