I am quitting my other job tomorrow...

[michaeljkrell]

The title pretty much says it. I am on what initially was to be an 8 week leave, but I will make it permanent tomorrow. I didn't think I would be this nervous (not quitting, but just telling my boss). It was only part-time, but I have worked there for almost 7 years and my boss and two others have been there that whole time as well.

I just wanted to say thanks to all of our customers and admirers for supporting us and allowing both of us the freedom to do what we want to do.

So your quitting the clothing or another job to work fully on the clothing?

 

[michaeljkrell]

I am quitting my other job at the library to do the clothing full-time. Title fixed...

 

[Serg]

good to hear. just ordered a shawl neck.

 

[ashenwreck]

Good luck. Even though I haven't offically bought anything from you yet, you seem to make really great clothing. In otherwords, I think you'll be OK.

 

[mack11211]

Congrats!

Good luck!

 

[evilgeniusdan]

Cool, congrats !

What does this mean for MJK clothing? New directions? Expanding?

 

[michaeljkrell]

Thanks for all the well-wishers...

Yeah, we are planning to expand by getting into a few more stores (one is definite and I will give details on it the end of this month or next month). Our main goal though is just focusing on producing enough garments to fill the demand on SF.

We finally have the stock and I have the time to do some contests for free clothes. I want to get a WAYWT pic and video up everyday, finally get some kind of mailing list going, get some videoes made that show the production process, get more traffic to the blog, etc...

You make enough money selling almost just to style forum and sufu to live comfy?

 

[michaeljkrell]

Not comfy, but we are getting by. We don't have much overhead to speak of, so that helps.

 

[Nico Samuel Pleninsek]

Nice to hear! I just ordered my first MJK piece; I look forward to receiving it!

 

[mulansauce]

Congrats. I wish I had the balls to do something like that.

I'm sure you will do very well. Just don't forget your style forum fans when you make it big.

 

[djh]

Oooh, I like the idea of contests for free clothes...

 

[Johnny_5]

Congrats and best of luck to you bro.

 

[lost in va]

...because of this thread I will buy at least one piece of clothing from you.

I respect you for diving head first into the the thing you love.
