[Retreat] - 2009 Discussion Thread

[shadrach1281]

discuss - looking forwards to the Sam Freeman design. The one he contributed for Surrender was one of the strongest in their collection IMO

[Eugene K.]

I definitely thought some of their late 2008 releases were definitely on point and well put together.

[retreat]

Thanks for that Eugene.
Appreciate the comments.

I will try to keep anyone who is interested on the progress of new stuff. designs have been completed.

As for our online store - I have added another feature where buyers can enter a 6 digit code before checking out.

Codes will give buyers the chance to receive free random items with your purchase and I will update you with new codes accordingly

The code to enter now is RET001

thanks

I thought I'd add a few images to show you from the linesheets which have been completed.

Hard and electronic copies have started to be sent out.

I was also thinking of keeping you guys upto date with how the final images are then colour separated in photoshop and prepared before sending off to our printer to get them printed.

I will be updating the website blog in the coming weeks with bits here and there so keep checking that.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

Sorry I had to take this design down yesterday for legal reasons, but all is OK now. I was waiting for the copyright confirmation from The Bode Estate as this design is an adaption of a Vaughn Bode piece. (For those who weren't aware)

I got an email from Mark Bode last night so everything is now ok - But this tee will be strictly limited in numbers when released

thanks
Sid

A little extra info for you on this.

As agreed with The Bode Estate the Bode Squadron piece will be strictly limited to a 30 piece run. No reprints.
Once all orders from stockists have been completed, should there be any tees left (which I seriously doubt) they will go on the website online store.
If you are interested in one please email me.

What I will do is take emails on a first received basis and should there be any tees left these will be sent to the lucky few

thanks
Sid

Because of the nice little write up Hypebeast did on us yesterday the website has been getting a few more hits than normal.

We have currently exceeded our monthly traffic allowance so the website is currently inactive.

I'm trying my best to sort this out so the site should be back up ASAP

cheers

[ssk714]

Hm... I like the name. Good designs. This brand reminds me of Flying Coffin.

[retreat]

Guys,

I know these tees are limited to only 30 pieces (on a white tee).
I am now taking pre-orders on a first come first serve basis.

email me if you are interested in one and once printed I'll let you know if you are one of the lucky few.

Tees will be organic cotton and the actual print will be discharged for that softer feel print.
