Starting a New Line/Brand Feedback Thread

yes for more detailed with will need something other then screenprinting i am wondering the same thing...how to get photos printed onto a shirt.....

you can host your story with bigcartel ...shopify and alot of others

Thanks for all of the feedback i really appreciate it!

I am really not trying to bite any other brand, Im honestly just putting my headphones on and just letting my mind go to work....

I do see similarities in that bloodbath tee but honestly Im just trying to design interesting tees and if I worry about other brands having slightly similar tees ill never be able to produce anything...

How does heat transfer work? I feel as if thats the shittest way to do it but im not 100%

Peep our website...

I know you already blowin' up and all but why do you still leave the Alstyle tag in your shirts or was that just a missed oull tag

Question guys is it better to get custom tags for the shirt or is it better to get the size, material etc on the back of the shirt printed on.

I'd say start with printing your washing info on the inside of collars, saves ordering labels which generally have high minimums, saves labour costs and you can get away with making up one screen and masking out rings around each size.

Very True.

We're not blowing up at all right now but we are working on getting our tags printed. We're definitely not 100% legit until we have that sorted out.

Thanks for the input.

get that ASAP dude. Or at least tear that outer AAA tag if you are using the tear away blanks. You don't want people to know that kind of info. First thing they;ll think is the brand is cheap and maybe even lazy.
It's something really small but can add a better feel to the consumer. At least he won't feel ripped off if he knows you are getting the shirt for $1-2.50 and turning around and selling it for $25-30 just because you added a design to it. Feel me?

I'm fucking sick of people offering 5 panel manufacturers for money.

I'm fucking sick of people offering 5 panel manufacturers for money. If I ever find out who manufactures supreme, I'll tell anyone who wants to fucking know. FOR FREE.

People ask on this forum every day for free info on sources... It amazes me how many people think all this info should be free and easy for them to access.

Not trying to boast here, but it took me over 8 months to find my first legit factory, none of that middle man american shit where they charge ~$12 for hats and have tons of limitations and shitty customer service.. Instead of saying "no fck off with asking" etc, I offer to share my source for a price. I dont really see an issue with someone asking for compensation to share info they worked hard to get. No one makes money by doing things for free, and were all in this game to make money are we not?

Looking for some input from some of the more established brands on here.. Have any of you had success($ales) with paying/sponsoring local celebs to wear your clothes? Do you sponsor musicians or athletes, and if so is it converting to sales?

Over the past year we have talked about it a few times, and given out a few things to local people who have some following but I dont think its really done a whole lot in terms of actual conversion to sales. Sure its good for hype, but im interested on actual conversion. I get emails weekly from people wanting sponsorships. Some of them being pretty decent artists from the states, im just not sure if it would be worth me sending a box of goods to the states where no one knows the brand.

I'd love to hear stories from some of you guys on whats worked and hasnt worked for you. I also enjoying talking with other brand owners so feel free to PM.

@wcfrontrvnners

honestly, if you didn't have the helmets there, i would not associate those designs with football or those teams.

post the tees by themselves.

Whatever dude. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who wants to have a company should be able to have one and be able to establish a presence without too much of a hassle. I know people say streetwear is a community and a competition, but why does it had to be a competition? I know people have to make a profit, but can't we all just get along, collaborate, and share with eachother? Doesn't that make more sense? I have been searching for a manufacturer for a really long time (about a year now), and everyone I come across asks for upwards of 100 dollars. That seems like a pretty steep price, especially when you have no idea about the persons reputability, and whether or not they are going to actually give you the information that you need or want. I really hope one day people can learn to help out and support smaller companies that are just starting. I really do.

like i wouldn't mind giving out any info if the people were serious.....

like giving out a source to make hats why not give that out....it would see if people just begged all day but if they actually looked then why not help....

like the useres that have like 10 post and they are only asking then yea fuck em but some people actually post alot in this thread..but i honestly wouldn't charge no more than maybe 2$ for some info like that
