nice collection.....i saw a pair of supremes on ebay the other week. do the padmores fit/sized the same as the new clarks or bigger or smaller?

how much are champion reverse weaves?

i thought you contacted cyc-why do you need their number?

your making $10 off of each hoodie?-not including time and expenses to fly to taiwan....

hand sew- do you mean with just a needle and thread-no machines? this is going to take a long, long time...

you should name the label taiwanese apparel?

all jokes aside go for it, but there are ALOT of things that can/will go wrong in manufacturing apparel, which usually take seasons/years to avoid/learn. i hope your not spending all of your college savings on this as you could make alot more dough being a lawyer,

Quote: yeah, it must be fucking difficult to get some samples made and photo them. but i guess hyped-out fanboys love them some vaporwear so who am i to judg

what are you talking about?

anyone know if the nyc store has any supreme stuff in stock still?

how's that surplus store on market? Anyone been? I've been trying to get down there...

so does romanelli sew these himself and they look good? if so that's pretty craze

yeah, i kindof agree it's ridiculous to pay a premium price for something that was made for under minimum wage. Alot of what comes out of china, or any other cheap labor country is questionable quality, but they do and can do really, really good quality too. From what i hear their government supports their garment industry-grants for equipment,laws, etc. and so does ours(US) too in a way.

i believe just the New bal 991 are made in us-- mad comfortable

oh, snap---look at the progression,

from "bape clown"

to

half way there

to

full g'd out status

i wish i had wialliams' budget

is that photoshoped? that's too weird..

i remember hearing that that movie helped supreme blow up and kind of did the same thing for dunks....not sure what the correlations are...

i believe noah was started by a former supreme designer/production person...i'm not sure what is up with it now, though i saw a jacket in american rag about 6 months ago that was pretty slick. I kind of like that there not a part of the whole internet hype thing too.

i like how he says he's into acronyms stuff and the next sentence says he's going to put out similar stuff at similar price..........................why bother?.......

Quote: cant stand the shit either but denying the collabs were very well done is straight stupid and denying that it was an incredibly simple and effective way to get to people whod normally tune out the moment a jigga song hit their panasonic is straight stupid

regarding main topic:

good marketing skills

wack music/product

which goes back to his mo:

circa mid 90's when he came out with "dead presidents" using nas' lyrics for a hook and inviting every respected rhymer of the time to be (act) down with him in his video= coattail gripping:

....then and now......same game

yep, i believe that's it.

You may want to try the stussy shop? Never been to the flagship, but i imagine theyre about as clueless as all the other levis stores......

shit seems contrived like his music. dudes career is based on marketing himself and riding on others ideas---same guy who coined HIMSELF "king of ny"?

I remember hearing these were two different brands? I don't know I could be wrong-it just seems like it though based on the quality difference.......

dope

why are you so cheap?

the arabic thing has been going on for a minute-Supreme flipped there box logo a year or so ago as well as those umbro jerseys with the arabic and had that arabic print hat last season.-as well as GDEH had some references too and i think anything might have had a shirt using arabic text as well

hey ringring-no offense taken. it's nice to hear the technical side of clothing from someone who knows.

that is interesting about the Sugarecane Hawaii's- is there a purpose for the single stitching and hand made fell seams-it seems like it would be kinda homey/home made looking?

nice link-thanks

rhythmandsound drops knowledge.......

Thanks for the info ringring-

I've been skooled on chainstitching.

But the reason I question the strength of chainstitching is I have a pair of military pants that are chain stitched and when the stitch was broken the entire seam unraveled by just pulling on one of the threads. I've done this with other chainstitched seams as well-it only takes a break in the stitch and a pull on the thread and the entire seam will unravel-given these two things have to happen to make if a weaker seam. Someone else should try it on an old pair of jeans....

This is why I was under the impression that it would be a weaker seam....

and I don't think chainstitching cost more in production because eventhough it uses more thread and is a specialized machine it is ALOT faster becuase no bobbins right?

And I believe it's used at all the stress points because it stretches whereas a lockstitch would break if stretched. So still more applicable to denim, but just didn't understand the obsession with having hems chainstitched-aesthetics seemed to be the main concern- which is definitely applicable.

they are basic quality-yes they have the screen vents on the side....not sure if they will sell to individuals though??

correct me if i'm wrong, but chainstitch is a weaker seam....right...

One snag/break of the thread and the whole seam/hem comes undone---whereas a lock stitch would still hold....

I don't get the appeal?

that explains a lot.....NYC has some questionable things sometimes
