the fashion community thinks the crosswick collar is an european innovation, but the reality is its an American invention.

Patents are expensive, but an unneccessay evil because there is always someone out there to knock me off.

Thanks EG.

A little insight on what I am trying to do. I am introduding a paradigm shift from generations of menswear. What I mean is that I see fashion in the context of curved lines rather than the staight lines of traditional clothing. I believe fashion needs to graduate from algegra (straight lines ) to calculus ( curved lines) to become fashion forward . Straightline, traditional mens and womenswear has been done and done over for the past 100 years. I dont visualize fashion in straight lines but curves and shapes. I want to match a shaped collar with a shaped pant cuff or suit cuff and then add a little color from a tie , sock , or shirt cuff to create a totally unique look. The suit cuff is shaped thus allowing the color of the shirt cuff to show in a unique shape. Just like in Mathematics, Algebra and straight lines are limited to one area in space. The whole world of math and physics is ruled by the laws of calculus and curved lines because the world isnt perfect. By introducing fashion to curved lines, unique looks are infintismal. thanks EG

Here is an example of the crosswick crossover collar being sold in the formal wear stores today. When I designed this collar 13 years ago , there wasnt buttons or a huge cuff link keeping the collars together but rather hidden buttons for a cleaner look. thanks EG.

oh oh, pick me...update your design?

remember kids, 'dare to wear different!"

I have had some wonderful responses privately, but publicly there are very few positive reactions. More ridicule and jester than understanding. The "witch hunt" is still very real in traditional times and some forum members are reluctant to claim their acceptance of my style publicly for fear of retribution from the gallery. Challenging the status quo is very difficult. I am a man with dignity and the negative comments do sting , but I believe in my product and my imagination keeps me plowing through the adversity. I am confident I am the future of menswear. I just need to surround myself with wonderful people. I am presently working with Cardeens and Paul Perry to manufacture my custom dress shirts.

Why so much attention on the patents and their validity rather than talking about an unique style from and unknown designer in menswear? You have one designer with 15 revolutionary designs and you think I stole these ideas from other people. Thats impossible from a 24 year old kid just out of college who studied health sciences. In fact, it very rare to see any designer in the past 50 years that can claim 1 or 2 revolutionary designs as a signature style to define history. I am showing 15 historical styles on my website.

I am not trained nor studied fashion so my ideas are not tainted by the designs of my ancestors or other previous designers or other patent holders. When I was 24, I had no clue how to research previous patents. In fact, I majored in Biology and minored in chemistry and psychology. I think up different ideas and use fabric as my canvas. The patents are to keep the jack-off, knock offs in check. Any knock off designer that wants to knock off my style, my very high-profile collar and cuff style , is stating to the fashion world he/she has to steal my ideas to be claimed a designer. A knock off artist is committing business suicide by knocking off my products. My patents claim precedence LEGALLY and is a great marketing tool to associate my name with my innovative, high-profile collar and cuff designs. Court is too expensive to challenge the knock offs because they have big bucks and I dont have very much money,, but I have that option to sue. Why would a big fish want to steal from a little fish ? I am the only one legally to claim precedence since I am the patent holder.

You dont need a fancy logo or label to know you are wearing an Eric Glennie signature dress shirt. The public wants to know where these designs came from and to be honest, I cant beat the competition to the market, so I have be smarter than the competition, thus the reasoning behind the patents. Thank you for spreading my name out there and I seriously need to get my products on some high-profile celebrities or high-profile stores in NYC or LA. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cardeens is a wonderful custom shirtmaker with a great variety of fabrics and expertise and Paul Perry has my patterns on file. I just simpy bring my ideas and customers to Cardeens and Paul makes the magic on fabric and sends out my shirts. Thanks EG.

eric glennie, middle aged business man decides to bring his product to style and fashion forums across the vast expanse of the internet. where he has been, no one could tell you, but in his months, maybe even years of searching for a proper audience that is on the same, no, the exact word of the page that he is on, he has ended up at superfuture. his patented crosswick crossover shirt, a hit in central and eastern europe with the gay club scene has attracted a real heat-seeker audience, and he decides to branch out in search of a new audience. its not that he hates gays or europeans, or a mix there of, but its that his strong mormon morals tell him that the product that has been so faithful to him is beginning to fray around the edges, and he can't have that, now can he?

so, he ends up at superfuture after being so poorly rejected at styleforum. his resolve is doubled after he sees the inane, almost illegible posts of user "wEstSidE" and the short simple messages of jpgm, and he belives that this is the promises land. quickly, he ups his stock of crosswick crossover's and begins work on his secret weapon, the bevel-bottomed jeans.

his mastery of the english language is secondary at best, and he begins his furious assault campaign on the forum, first dropping the crosswick, then the bevel-bottoms in quick succession, taking the boards by storm. at this point, we have reached the near future, where everything is uncertain. borders are blurred, alliances crossed and made, enemies lurking around every corner. only time will tell whether eric glennie can become...

a superfuture odyssey.

starring:

westside as "Sir Morning Star of the westlands"

herpsky as "That dude played by Sean Connery"

Is many degrees.

Am thinking maybe school is total hackjob because writing style is mad whack.

Also thinking untainted mind isn't best idea, to be informed by the past in order to intelligently command the future is basis of creative process.

Thinking maybe you should be sticking to Choanoflagelletes, Stereoisomers, and Lorenz.
