I have 3 or 4 of them and the L is the best fitting shirt I have owned. I normally wear XL in Gilden. Comfort Colors was a top contender for me. the only turn off is that it's made in hoduras US Blanks is very promising cuz it has the cut of the Champion tees i wear at home, and US blanks are made here in the US (obviously) I'm looking for a boxy cut tee, that's all It follows (and i hate to say this) the trend today of over-sized shit, which i like. So any customers looking for a genuine theme on a shape tee shirt they are looking for? I know they're gonna pay for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorydays Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) So my artist and I are now in agreement with what to do next. I made a list of all the graphics I want to do in the coming months and I'm checking off that list as I assign them to my artist I'm doing 1 of the tee shirt graphics next and the deck graphic I know what you guys are saying, "why the fuck would you want to do the deck graphic first?" Well, ballbags, the skate decks take fucking 6 to 10 months. FUCKING MONTHS LMAO fuck that noise, so i thought, as soon as i get them done, then they'll be ready by the time i think i have enough product to launch Edited October 25, 2020 by glorydays 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorydays Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Noah gave me an idea from last year this cardigan was one of the inspirations for me starting all this I want to do a cardigan in jersey terry cloth Not wool but a terry fabric that allows the wearer to just thrash it so a cardigan that looks good but allows kids to wear it without looking pretentious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorydays Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) another thing that i've noticed that the "cool" kids are wearing and i see this fucking color on my instagram feed all the fucking time CREAM or OFF WHITE (the color not the brand) another colorway is OATMEAL I think this is one colorway that I'm going to have to use so that these assholes can buy it LMAO I'm partly joking cuz i FUCKING LOVE making my own clothes but i have to cater to some of these hipsters JJJJOUND SPORTY AND RICH SPIRIT AND SIN Edited October 26, 2020 by glorydays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much harder than anyone would ever think... Assuming you can find the cut you like, good luck finding the weight. Assuming you might be able to find a balance of the two, good luck finding one that wears well. Then assuming you compromise some more on all that, good luck finding a suitable variation with color pallet. Then most likely, it has shitty distribution, if any, so you're going to pay out the ass and then get painted into a corner when they inevitably get back ordered when you need it the most cause they're a small brand with shitty organization. So yeah, have yet to find a blank I really like and have changed my mind a dozen times before just settling back on the same blank I've been using and being totally unhappy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you care where the blank is made? Cuz I know you use american made only. I'm trying to keep it made in the US as well as slightly higher quality And i'm with you...calling these resellers about their stock is like kicking yourself in the balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically what I am taking away from this, is if someone has the money, resources, and expertise, the best way to find exactly what one is looking for is to manufacture (cut & sew) their own. The reason I say this, is because it seems to be one of those things that can easily make one think the industry does this to keep the competition away or at least a tough time to start up. But anyhow, I do like what you're saying, because I find this same scenario in multiple industries I have com across looking for material or to at least quote a job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best answer would try to see if you can get students in fashion design to make a pattern and cut them out for you. This was my fist thought to resources considering students in school would be more enthusiastic to probably help, considering it would also benefit them in helping them build a portfolio to help later down the road when they start interviewing for jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorydays Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 so what is the future like. well, I want to be able to venture into technical garments and technical tracksuits. You all know i have an affinity and love for waterproof garments, so the future after this first drop is open for everything and anything This might seem adventurous, but I'm tired of giving other companies money for stuff I can make myself Isn't that why we all make stuff anyway? cuz theres nothing out there that fits you? My dream fabric would be gore tex....fuuuuuck that would be amazing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qawee Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 hell yeah goretex would be amazing. also that cardigan would be dope, just a little embroidered logo like the dude on the hammock between the palm trees 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qawee Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That sounds dope, agreed on the old man steez, I love a nice chunky cable knit cardigan and some new balances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorydays Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 This is what the cardigan would be made of, or, at least the choices of what I want them made out of The first pic is french terry, which is, in as easy way to describe it as possivle, is a towel material. I love it cuz it fucking feels nice The second pic is heavy weight jersey cotton. Rugby shirts are made of this. If you have a rugby, then you know how "heavy" this fabric feels. Like a smooth sweater, basically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorydays Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 I love both fabrics BUT i think i would lean towards the jersey fabric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qawee Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Imo id like whatever is thicker between the jersey and Terry cloth, my only experience with rugbys is RL polo stuff and while they're thicker than a t shirt they don't seem like it would be that warm if youre going for that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
