Starting a New Line/Brand Feedback Thread

I know I haven't shown any of my clothes on here yet. But later this month I'm dropping a small collection called the "Treasure Pack".

REAL TALK.
Just read your "Long story short" Blog entry and became a fan bro.
Just went through the same thing with my printer. Had my shirts for a month and never touched them. Only broken promises and dates.
The shirts look super clean though.
I'll be looking you guys up

Damn, just read the entry too.
That's horrible customer service.

I worked with a local printer and we sent messages back and forth via email.
He responded within the same day, sometimes within a few hours.
I sent him the artwork, he then sent me a proof and invoice.
The proof (mock up) wasn't exactly how I wanted so I responded and got everything sorted out.
Once I was happy with the way the mock up looked, I gave him the approval and the next day
around noon I got an email telling me that I could pick up the shirts.
They looked exactly as I wanted to.
I was only worried about the blanks I chose to use because I never heard of them before.
I wanted AAA Alstyle but they didn't have any, I decided to use their in house Next Level blank tees.
Very soft ring spun cotton, the color was very deep/dark.
A lot of my friends liked the shirt and the blank's material.

how do you like Next Level shirt in comparison to Alstyle.
After wahes and the neck line after washing.

I use 1301 because I like how they feel even after they wash and the next stays tight as well.

trends:
BLVCK SCVLE: latin-influenced overkill use of "v's" in logo designs and use of the American flag
(upcoming brands are biting; it makes me cringe when I see their flag on other brands trying to claim some belonging to that tier of fashion...)
UNDFTD: acronymical non-vowel brand names
and most saliently,
Supreme: random word highlighting comparative excellence in bold/italics with a fill color background

GOD DAMN I HATE EMULATION

I personally really really like Next Level. It doesn't get as much shine as Alstyle, and American Apparel because its not used by the bigger brands but still stands strong against them. I get nothing but complements on how soft my tees are. However, at the end of the day it depends on the target market your trying to sell to. (hip-hop heads/sneaker heads more loose, city/urban style more fitted, etc etc)

a logo maker? the fuck? hire a designer and commission your ideas into the logo. you get what you pay for, and the logo is one of the most crucial parts to you brand.

It is a very soft and light cotton, but its really good quality.
Some feed back I've had are the neck line doesn't "bacon neck"
and its a good fit. not baggy or loose.
I wouldn't recommend using Next Level if you have a streetwear brand as
the typical go-to streetwear blanks are thicker cotton blanks such as Alstyle and perhaps gildan?

btw, my printer's in other in house blanks are Gildan. How do you guys feel about printing on Gildan blanks?
They're thicker, similar to Alstyle right?

they aren't "logo makers", there graphic designers. there are designers that specialize in branding and identity. don't call them "logo makers".

you can search websites like dribbble and find designers that you think have the suitable style for your brand styles

What's up guys?

Been working with a project called HALFWITS for just under a year now.
If you've got a minute, check things out, and let me know what you think. Would love to hear any good and bad. The following are taken from our Summer 2012 launch, which we shot back in April.
