www.reasonclothing.com

[ok]

rxmance t's and scarves. project ny, vegas.

[tokyo someday]

i dont really know anything about trade shows

can anybody get into them?

can you buy stuff there?

[yuljo]

Generally they are for wholesale buyers and usually the vendors just have samples for the stores to decide from if they want to place an order. I believe alot of catalogues are handed out and maybe some promo stuff but generally it is for business accounts.

[RedBouncyThing]

I will check out Reason. I have Rxmance on my list of stuff to look at for womens. You have to have two forms of credentials to get into the shows. They hand out a ton of line sheets and alcohol. Plus, for a midwestern kid like me ... Vegas and New York are always a good time.

If I see something really cool, I will post some pics of it when I get back.

[ok]

i forgot to mention that rxmance will be listed with "proper fools showroom" at project ny and las vegas. the line is unisex.

[RedBouncyThing]

You should PM me that information.

[Guest]

I also wanted to throw out that Jask Clothing will be making their first debut in Las Vegas.

We don't know much about how this show works, but we figure its worth to test the market. We'll have more T-s by Playground area.

Hope to see you all there. Good luck Reason! I like your T's.

[jaskclothing]

Going on RedBouncy,

Just wanted to let you know that Jask Clothing is making their first debut. By the time of Magic, we'll hopefully have about 9-10 T-shirts. Keep a look out, we look forward in seeing you and anyone out in Vegas.

We'll be around the Playground area at Magic.

Good luck Reason. I like your style.

[ten100switch]

I'll be around Magic in a press capacity

[RedBouncyThing]

Right on. I will be stumbling around with my hagard ass beard buying up stuff for Fall deliveries. Are you just covering the event ? What's your booth number ?

[mama]

mama will also be at the high 5 camground booth #ST30640-56. come by and say hi!

[RedBouncyThing]

I'll do it. I was planning on most of one of my days in the campround. I have to go to Pool and Project too. I love Vegas.

[polly7]

If I had the money to spend and a shop to fill, i wouldn't worry about generic brands. I would spend time in Japan/Europe/Australia to find new labels and break them into the market.

More risky but more profitable and exciting.

[RedBouncyThing]

We are not trying to be super ground breaking. We are after all in Kansas City,MO. We are jsut putting in the bst shit we can for our customers. Half of our shoppers used to shop online exclusively, and now they shop with us. So ... I am just keeping up on what I like and hoping people dig it as well. I really wouldn't consider any of the brands I carry now to be generic. All of them have original in one way or another over time.

[RedBouncyThing]

I couldn't see any pics. Do you have a website ?

[Meetme]

What about WE or RVCA (mainly guys)?

I have a hard time finding girl's streetwear that isn't over the top, and I like what I've seen of Drifter, and Sasta (which is based out of Canada) has cool designs, and affordable prices. The (Sasta) items that I've seen are made in Canada as well, and there shirts are good quality.

Don't know if anyone is familiar with Sjobeck from the 80's, but they should be at Magic too - grown-up and all.

Live today, as if tomorrow were your last.

[mama]

hey meetme,

mama will be debuting some cut & sew at magic . . . really cute stuff without being too girly or too over the top. . . stop by.

[ok]

if you are going to be in vegas for the tradeshows in my opinion if you want to find good shit this is the order of importance:

PROJECT

.

.

.

MAGIC (PLATFORM)

POOL

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

MAGIC (CAMPGROUND)

been a lot and project is by far the best show. magic is for ed hardy and that shit. campground is for cheap graphic ts. pool is new brands but most have a little ways to go.

[RedBouncyThing]

We are going to be at project NY over this next weekend and week. We do most of our denim and such there. I always hit Pool as well as project vegas. I am just really excited about the campground this year. A lot of the smaller companies we have been working with are growing and will be showing.

[size08]

anyone get their leather passport holder & badge from project? do they think swag will get us to attend? okay...it does work sometimes. project @ the javits? never thought i'd see the day.

miuzi weighs a ton

[Francis Begbie]

Reason makes one nice shirt. Don't get gassed.

[UsVersusThem]

75% of project is overfunded unoriginal denim and overly distressed tshirt lines that need to rely on celebrities wearing it in order for it to sell. overrated. but so is pool. and magic. but you still have to go.

[nappywun]

It seems Pool is opening in NY in July. With Project and Pool in NY could there be less attendance in Vegas? What do u guys think?

Afrique C'est Chic

[chimpanjesus]

magic.... maybe next year.

[ok]

we do project in ny and in vegas and it is worth it. the vegas shows draw a lot of the internatoinal market and the ny shows are a lot of east coast. but i do see a lot of movement in this industry as far as tradeshows. so who knows what will happen. as long as you are aware that all the shows including pool are all corporate now.
