I don't need web hosting, as I've already got tons of it @ www.seventyfiveclothing.com

oops, didn't see that link in your first post. Ok, get a website going then

This is a company of exclusivity...and the shirts are not hanes, they are made from Gilden. A company which makes very high quality cotton shirts. The same thing as if you were to purchase A Bathing Ape shirt...just without all those extra tage that come with their shirts.

You're missing the point Jeff. I wasn't talking about the quality of the textile/stitching/dye. Hell, I've got a Hanes promoshirt of I Love Techo 2002 wich still looks brandnew after 4 years. The point is that you talk about exclusivity while you print your design on the most generic type of shirt available on the market. And with generic type, I mean the cut. I'm not saying you per se should invest in a production line to make your own shirts. What I'm saying is that your product would've looked MUCH sexier and classier if you had printed on for instance tank tops or sleeveless shirts.

Question btw: maybe I've missed it as well, but I hope you've got more colors in stock than black. Again this is a standard look which won't get you very much attention. I'm not saying fluo yellow is a better idea, but just look at De Puta Madre for instance. How did they conquered their market share? By doing nothing else than printing cocky/political incorrect slogans on shirts with colors which jump out (yellow, pink, purple, ...). Murielle launched an entire line of lingerie in flashy pink last season and it sold like crazy. Why? Because it was never done before in her industry. Simple as that.

And I don't need to tell you why you should buy one at all. That is for you to make up your mind. I'm not here to make up your mind for you...i leave that to MTV.

Maybe you should try to answer that question anyhow instead of making a crappy remark about me having my mind made up by MTV It's the same question every potential customer will ask his/herself when they see your offer. So hell yeah you should try to make up my mind for me. Or to put it differently: why - according to you - should I spend $40 on your shirt instead of spending it on a competitor's shirt? That's called marketing and branding, two concepts which especially in the club scene you're targeting are fundamental.

Once again, even though there's a lot of criticism in my posts, I'm not attacking you personally. Fashion and design have been points of interest for years, so I'm just trying to give you some advice.

You're completely entitled to think I'm full of it and ignore all of the above. After all it's your investment, not mine...

Whoever came up with this new trend of guys wearing pink shirts should be shot.

I guess it was those De Puta Madre fuckers then...well, if that´s true...que se jodan, me cago en ellos y sus putas camisetas, maricones

Re: 75 Clothing (My Company) is almost live...

BTW Jeff, if you ever go with that shit with your avatar on it, you´ll very likely have a customer in me.

Although you know what I´d love? That you made it like a soccer jersey replica (BUT IN COTTON!), with the inverted 75 on the back in the same position as a player´s numbers, and then a small logo of the ompany on the front, on the left side of the chest, just like a soccer team´s insignia, and in 2 colors, one for the sleeves and another for everything else.

Don´t take this as me being pushy though, it´s just a suggestion made out of personal taste.

Although you know what I?d love? 10 guys wearing pink shirts to oil me down.

Dunno if they came up with the idea themselves, but they've pushed it like hell in their summer collection last year. Don't like it so much myself, but hey that's just a matter of taste imo.

@ nemrac: you don't wanna know, trust me

Now there's something I would buy for sure. Soccer shirts are a pretty mainstream trend with the world cup 'n' all, but that inverted 75 makes it special.

Btw Kinetic, wasn't it you who got himself that Argentinian soccer shirt with the Hernan print? Could be wrong, but I remember sth like that...

Ahah! That would be my definition of hell, for sure.

Naw man, it wasn?t me I think it was shan or shosh or one of those "sh" guys...

But that?s the thing...I mean, I buy a Sporting Lisbon jersey every year but only wear those to the games, but I love seeing customized soccer shirts, or "bastardized" soccer shirts, so yeah, I think it could be a good idea. Shame he?s in the States though.

Re: 75 Clothing (My Company) is almost live...

... Well, if anything Jeffrey you don't have to hire a consultant because a percentage of your target market is here and this thread can act as a perceptual... You've got mass talent mate so please don't take any of this personally, aIthough I doubt you would. If anything it will give an a better idea of what alot of us like and dislike, and whether or not you agree with any of it it's still valuable info and insight. Just do what you think is right and adjust along the way... fashion, as well as ideas and taste are always fluid so no matter what happens with the first run of shirts don't let that stop you from doing what you want to do.

Re: 75 Clothing (My Company) is almost live...

The brand is what is important and I feel like you really understand that but you need to follow through with some refinements in its execution. The exclusivity you are pushing is interesting however I don't feel that the design warrants any intrigue to people on the street or others that see it. Sure its inverted but still isn't quite interesting enough. I also feel like your price point is off given the variables... unkerned type... hanes tshirt.

Here are some links I think that would give you some good insight. Not trying to sound like a dick or anything just trying to help.

Google > David Gensler
marketing genius. read his interviews. this guy blows marc echo and other aforementioned "designers" out of the water.

http://fashion.psfk.com/

news feed about fashion and marketing. probably a good idea to start getting into.

http://www.svsv.net/

similar to what I think you are going for however much more refined and well executed .... exclusive. expensive. quality.

http://www.cartelgoods.com/store.htm

collection of brands similar to your current price point. fairly exclusive runs. big name designers. conceptual, quality design. quality shirts.

http://www.oddica.com/catalog/shop.php
half the price of your shirts. great design. great designers. pretty standard shirt quality. super exclusive.



sorry if this has turned into a "critique my brand/business venture" but people seem to be participating...
