01-06-2009, 11:02 AM
Roaring and trail are the best ones. The one that could be one of the best is the hell on earth one, but the skinny text makes it blend in too much with the red shirt, the yellow is abit better, the grey same as the red. Greenbacks is cool, Kill time is cool too (although I don't fully get it). Here we come looked better last season.
homegrown
01-06-2009, 01:31 PM
Thanks for all the positive feed back guys! We like to think this is one of our strongest offerings yet. We can't wait to get printed samples and see them come to life.
@WGM - I feel you on the text in Hell on Earth, although we didn't want to diminish the actual image of the devil (which is an insanely detailed 6 color print). We'll have to wait for the printed sample to see how it actually turns out.
As for Kill Time - some Wu heads might recognize the line 'Bust shots at Big Ben like I got time to kill' from Protect Ya Neck (the jump off). So that kind of inspired the design, but we figure if you're gonna kill something, might as well make it time.
More updates shortly!

Roaring Bear is sick with the cy6 in the mouth. Thats fire, and the hell on earth one is a crazy graphic, and I would even consider removing the text and leaving the image alone, as it would pretty much depict the same thing, without hindering or interupting the view of the graphic. The follow the trail shirt will be a big hit with the chicks too. lol

@Urban - haha fo sho wu tang 4 eva. They always have a spot in our rotation - not to mention the ODB tribute tour was one of the illest rap shows i've ever gone to. even though Wu shirts are generally played out, we draw a lot of inspiration from them and try to work at least one subtle wu reference into each line we drop.

Whats up everyone. Got a few teaser pics of some printed samples. Still waiting on the few last ones...Kill Time and Roaring Bear. Should have a lookbook within the next few weeks as well as an updated retailer list.
Also revamped the website and webstore so feel free to cop some pieces from the Holiday 08 drop...although everything is pretty much sold out...
As always, feedback appreciated!

Whats up everyone. Got a few pics from a recent tradeshow we did. As much as we love the midwest, there is definitely a tradeshow void. You cats on the coast have more options so make sure you take advantage of it! Snapped a few pics, maybe some smaller brands can use some of our ideas for inspiration .
You can get oversized prints done at Kinko's for .70 cents a square foot (for grayscale images-7$ for color so dont bother). A simple, easy, quick way to get large poster like or banner images.

A physical sample of our linesheets. We just print them at home (have to have a decent printer) and use small fabric strips for binding and just sew them with a sewing machine. Works really slick especially if your catalog isn't very thick.
http://www.checkyoursixclothing.com/tradeshow/pic5.JPG
http://www.checkyoursixclothing.com/tradeshow/pic6.JPG
We connected the laptop to the hotel's TV and had a slideshow going the whole time. Gives buyers something to look at and also allows you to easily and quickly present photoshoot images or your website, etc.
http://www.checkyoursixclothing.com/tradeshow/pic8.JPG
We had these foam blocks done up for 50$ a piece. Afterwards we just airbrushed them ourselves. Its a little pricey, but we put these in our retailers to try and draw a little attention to our clothing.

Awesome dude! Shoot us a PM with what size and color and where we're shipping to and we'll make sure to hook you up with a special HB price or package deal if you're interested. We got some sick stickers coming this week so we'll be ready to ship. 8)
That goes for anyone. Hit us up with a PM and we'll make sure to treat you right. We appreciate people wearing our clothing that know some of the meaning behind it. Spring stock list coming soon, this stuff isn't technically dropping til March but we'll ship to you guys early.
PS If anyone knows how to add discounts using pay pal buttons; hit me up! Thanks!!

Yo dude thanks for the good words. We were hoping that some people would catch the reference to Wu's Protect Ya Neck. Being that it's the version from the W and not 36 Chambers I guess ppl would have to be pretty into Wu to catch it.
But even if ppl didn't make the connection we're hoping it would still resonate somehow. Ya know after burning a little leaf it's pretty easy to kill time. lol.
To all our MINNEAPOLIS homies out there, Vince over at Vs. just got a shipment of some of stuff, so if you feel like supporting the cause head on over and say whats up. Peep his blog here:

Munster- Yeah it's a lot of fun doing it as brothers (ha that sounds f*cking awfully gross)...but it's a little easier to give harsh criticism and be real with your business partner when he's also your brother.

Here's some pictures of the Soundset event, which was a much bigger success than we had anticipated.

Here are the product shots for the majority of our Spring 2009 release, entitled 'Hell on Earth'. Hope you guys feel some of the tees, the photo shoot is available here - http://www.checkyoursixclothing.com/studio2.html
Little bit about Check Your Six:
Check Your Six was a phrase used by pilots in World War II to indicate to their comrades that an enemy was coming from behind. This idea of 'watching your back' has become the foundation for our brand's philosophy, and is reflected in our Fall pieces in various ways.
We are available in select stores, including St. Alfred, Renown, Sole Purpose, VS Social Standard, and Cal Surf.

Thanks man. I liked your stuff, living in Beijing I can definitely see a market for that cross of street and chinese culture.
Here's a preview for another Fall design coming in the next few days. The remaining part of the design got this response from our prints:
"Our final decision is that because it truly offends some of the people in our shop, we will not print it out of respect to them."

Got some sick ideas for a photo shoot so look for that in the next week or two.

As promised, got you guys another sneak peak from our fall/winter line. A little throw back to our childhood days, we present GI SIX. Fight terrorism and look good at the same time, win-win. 8)
Putting together a photoshoot/lookbook in the next few days, should be dope, so keep your eyes peeled!
