It's all electric material. Covid has shut down factories that produce the particular parts I need and has wrecked home depot and lowes supply chain. So Im having to pay anal rape prices from online retailers. What a mess.

@glorydaysive been toying with the idea for a few years now to become a distributor of the products I use the most of. One requirement that is holding me back is having a retail location that is open to the public with a show room. I have yet to decide if the 80% I would save as a whole saler outweighs the cost of maintaining a retail location staffed with at least one person at the front desk to tell people to fuck off all day.

 

Retail space with semi truck access is helly expensive.

I am really liking that shade of pink.  I noticed this shade is widely used and I like it. 

 

Yea, i'm waiting for the spring colorways to drop in a few weeks

 

there's also a program where they will dye the garments colors that i want

It'll be a little bit more for it, but i think its worth it

aaaaaaliright

Ive been doing alot during my ittle break from our beloved forum

 

I started doing some graphic designs for a brand i started hanging out with

I also did my best to get my homies acquainted with Raven and to get the most out of their own brands hanging out with 12ozprophet

shout out to white knuckle syndicate and the RAID team

 

I learned alot from these guys and how smaller streetwear brands grow

The cost is high but the risk pays off

 

so i started doing small time edits for white knuckle syndicate

I also started doing custom work on military surplus for some people who dm me

alright

 

Ive been helping white knuckle syndicate with their stuff while doing mine at the same time

 

i had to pay to license some art work for printing

and i have to finish talking with a graphic designer i met online

 

I am fully committed right now to using shirts and sweaters made in the US

- volunteer knitwear

- soffe

- campbellsville knit

- royal apparel

- allusaclothing.com garment dyed hoodie/sweatpants

 

I cant source full zip hoodies that are the weight i want and made in the US, so i have to go somewhere else to get them

I want them to be heavy weight so they would be 11 oz to 14 oz

@glorydaysany plans for chino pants? Those look very very close. Would they count? Also what the attraction for the full zip hoodie like that? People dig em? Never seen. Shoot me a link when live. 
 

uoure doing the damn thang 

 

I'll keep you all updated

 

I'm gonna be setting up a shopify site

 

the best way i think i can handle product would be to do preorders so i'm not sitting on a bunch of stuff i cant move
